Historical Note
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) was a fraternity at the University of Wyoming. Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s presence on the University of Wyoming campus began in 1903 when the Sigma Beta Phi student group and local fraternity was founded. In 1917, the group successfully petitioned the Sigma Alpha Epsilon national fraternity for a charter as the Wyoming Alpha chapter. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the longest standing Greek letter organization on the University of Wyoming’s campus, with 100+ years of combined heritage. After residing in various locations throughout Laramie, the chapter constructed a chapter house on Fraternity Row in 1958. The fraternity continues to be an active presence on campus and in the Laramie, Wyoming community.
