SAE believes that chapter leadership and campus political offices are excellent training for leadership after graduation. We intentionally elect a slate of chapter officers for each semester to give our members the opportunity to learn through personal experience. We believe that our semester terms of office give our members twice the opportunity to gain leadership and business experience than most fraternities that elect officers for a full year. It is important for us to run our chapter like a business. House officers range from president (chapter management) to house manager (pays our vendors) to warden (keeps our equipment operating) to rush chair (marketing and sales). Officer room and board credits are additional to available alumni academic scholarships. Many alumni tell us that they gained their first business experience in the SAE house.
