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. This combined 100+ year heritage makes Sigma Alpha Epsilon the longest-standing Greek letter organization at the University of Wyoming.
After residing in various locations throughout Laramie, the chapter constructed the current chapter house located at 1621 E. Fraternity Row in 1958. In 1979 Wyoming Alpha won the John O. Moseley Award for Fraternity Zeal, which is given out annually to the single best chapter in the Realm.
Today, the chapter is actively involved on campus, with members involved in the Associated Students of the University of Wyoming, Army ROTC, Order of Omega, Mortar Board, and numerous other registered student organizations. Its annual Master of Misery Haunted House is one of Laramie’s favorite Halloween events, which raises thousands of dollars to the Laramie Cathedral Home for Children.
Wyoming Alpha is active on the national level of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and regularly sends its members to the John O. Moseley Leadership School and DeVotie Ritual Institute. The chapter has been recognized in the Eta Province and Foster Region and is proud to have been awarded the Chapter Achievement and Most Improved Chapter awards dozens of times in the past few decades.
