Sigma Phi Epsilon's Balanced Man Program


A student at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, JB Thompson of Jupiter, Florida, is majoring in business and political science. Outside of his studies, JB Thompson belongs to Sigma Phi Epsilon. 

With a motto of “Building Balanced Men,” Sigma Phi Epsilon strives to instill in young men the principles of diligence, virtue, and brotherly love. The fraternity accomplishes this through a number of initiatives, including the Balanced Man Program (BMP). 

Sigma Phi Epsilon understands that college students spend 90 percent of their time outside the classroom. Through the BMP, the fraternity helps young men take advantage of this time to discover their interests and grow alongside their brothers. 

The BMP is a four-year experience that focuses on five development areas: knowledge of the fraternity (SigEp), intellectual growth, physical health and wellness, leadership, and professional preparation. Throughout the program, young men receive mentoring and support from a variety of program stakeholders, from alumni and faculty to administrators and volunteers.
