About Our Chapter

Virginia Beta:
 
When one of the original twelve founders of Sigma Phi Epsilon left Richmond College to pursue a medical degree at the Medical College of Hampden-Sydney in 1902, he started the fraternity's first colony and second chapter at what would later become Virginia Commonwealth University. The chapter went dormant from 1905 to 1969, when members of the local fraternity Phi Delta Omega petitioned Sigma Phi Epsilon to restore the mantle of Virginia Beta and officially re-chartered in 1971. The chapter experienced another period of dormancy from 1991 to 2008, when it was once again re-chartered and continues to build balanced men and develop leaders for the future. The chapter is frequently awarded recognition in recruitment, member development, and operational excellence and is in pursuit of becoming VCU's premier leadership organization.
 

Virginia Commonwealth University:

 Located in downtown Richmond, Virginia, the school traces it's history back to 1838 when it was known as the Medical College of Hampden-Sydney, later becoming the Medical College of Virginia. It wasn’t until 1968, when the medical school merged with Richmond Professional Institute, that it became Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). Since that time VCU has become one of the largest schools in the state with over 31,000 students and boasts nationally ranked programs in fine arts, health care, engineering, and social work. With over 11,000 employees, VCU's Medical Center is both the region’s safety net hospital and its top-ranked hospital and is the only Level I trauma center in the region that is verified in the burn, pediatric and adult trauma care.
