Homecoming kings, Phi Beta Kappas, athletes, student Presidents, a Heisman trophy runner-up, future Congressmen, and business executives in all fields.

Summer Recruitment

SAE formally selects new members during a summer recruitment process with invitations issued based on character, leadership and commitment to academics. The recruitment period typically begins in early May as students graduate from high school and is most often complete by July 1. On average, we select 25-30 new SAE’s each year.
