General Information

SigEp provides several types of insurance. The first and most common is general liability insurance. This program is in place to respond to claims or suits that might arise against the Fraternity. The billing rates for 2008 were a $550 chapter base fee and $129 per man. These rates are subject to change upon determination insurance renewal rates. SEC’s (Sigma Epsilon chapters) for their first two years receive a half-rate discount on these fees.
