| Sound Mind The Ancient Greeks believed that a body’s good health was vital as it is the vessel of the mind. The mind houses your humanity, and, therefore, exercise of the mind is just as important as exercise of the body for full maturing and development. The purpose of a human’s time on earth is to live the best, balanced life and to explore the unexamined facets that make us better men. Thus, the Balanced Man Ideal – living a life encompassing Sound Mind and Sound Body – was created to frame programming ideas. The concept of a healthy body and an active mind filters through each one of our SigEp chapters. With the Balanced Man Ideal our members are expanding their minds while building their healthiest bodies. To pursue a Sound Mind, we look to grade requirements and study hours as only the beginnings. Building a Sound Mind involves much more than academic pursuits in college. Although every member of Sigma Phi Epsilon strives to earn top marks in the classroom, this is but one facet of mental achievement. In order to build Sound Mind, SigEps engage in opportunites for cultural awareness, arts appreciation, and lifelong learning. This type of personality is often referred to as a Renaissance man, one who is committed to learning as much as possible about many fields of study. Developing members as Renaissance men - balanced men - lies at the heart of every Sigma Phi Epsilon member's pursuits. |
