SAE took root at Harvard at the end of the 19th century and remained a stable force on campus until the 70s when the housing system diminished the Greek life on campus. The chapter was revived in 2001 and has already grown to over 50 brothers. SAE at Harvard is a truly diverse group; we have athletes, actors, entrepreneurs, and guys with 4.0s. Of course we all like to have fun, but the chapter also gives back to the community and the college in the tradition of the fraternity. One of the greatest things about being a part of the largest national fraternity is that we cross paths with guys from all over the country. They're all great and they're all different.
