Ninety percent of college takes place outside of the classroom. It’s in these unstructured hours that students discover their passions and plan their futures. For SigEps, much of this time is spent with their chapter brothers — it’s where they build close bonds of friendship and become balanced men with a sound mind and a sound body. The Balanced Man Program helps guide their experience.

The Balanced Man Program is a core element of the SigEp chapter experience and provides the experience that today’s student needs to be successful during and after college. The Balanced Man Program is a non-pledging, non-hazing, four-year, personal, academic, leadership and professional skills development experience. These are the four pillars of the Balanced Man Program:

• KNOW THYSELF: Reflect on personal values, identity, and purpose. Explore communication styles and identify individual strengths and growth areas.
• PURSUE EXCELLENCE: Set goals and achieve progress. Build academic, professional, and financial literacy. Learn self discipline and long-term planning.
• BUILD RELATIONSHIPS: Improve communication and empathy. Learn conflict resolution and strengthen lifelong connections.
• SEEK BALANCE: Practice mental and physical wellness. Engage in service and reflection. Learn to manage stress and prioritize well-being.

And these are the program's tenets:

• EQUAL RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES: Every member is treated with dignity and respect from day one. There’s no pledging or hazing in SigEp.
• CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT: Growth is lifelong. A mindset focused on learning prepares brothers to lead themselves and others.
• LIVING THE RITUAL: Our values—Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love—guide daily actions and hold us to a higher standard.
• MENTORING: Brotherhood means giving and receiving support. Every brother should have impactful mentors and become a mentor.

The BMP is guided by a local Balanced Man Steward who coaches chapter leaders along with Headquarters staff who provide tailored resources. SigEpU, a personalized online learning platform, brings development to life by facilitating engaging, in-person experiences.
