Sigma Pi Hosts Health and Safety Effort Focused on Undergraduate Well-Being

On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, Grand Sage Brian Devot brought together 31 undergraduate members from 9 chapters across the country for a virtual conversation focused on health, wellness, and living with greater intention.

The session, featuring life coach and fitness professional Bennett Luke, marked the beginning of a new Health and Safety effort focused on giving members practical tools to support their physical and mental well-being.

For Devot, the effort comes from a broader view of what a successful life looks like. During the session, he introduced the concept of five types of wealth:

• Time
• Social
• Mental
• Physical
• Financial

While conversations about success often center on financial wealth, Devot encouraged members to place greater attention on their mental and physical health.

“I want to make sure that you guys have some tools that go with the mental and physical that you can carry on with you, not just as undergrads, but in your adult life,” Devot said.

A Conversation Built for Undergraduate Men

Luke, who works with clients through his health and wellness coaching business, The Ultimate Athlete, approached the conversation from the perspective of someone recently removed from the undergraduate fraternity experience.

A fraternity member himself, Luke shared lessons from his time in college, his professional career, his fitness journey, and the relationships and experiences that have shaped his life.

His central message was simple: live with intention.

Throughout the session, Luke challenged members to think about the decisions they make every day and the long-term effect of those choices. Topics included:

• Sleep and recovery
• Nutrition and exercise
• Mental health
• Relationships
• Hobbies and personal interests
• Financial habits
• Travel and experiences
• Goal setting
• Leadership

Rather than asking members to sacrifice the experiences that make college memorable, Luke emphasized balance.

Understanding the Chapter You Are In

College represents a unique period of life. Members have opportunities to develop close friendships, take on leadership positions, travel, pursue ambitious goals, and create experiences that become lifelong memories.

At the same time, the habits established during those years often extend far beyond graduation.

Luke encouraged members to recognize what each stage of life requires. Finals week, for example, might require greater discipline, stronger sleep habits, and fewer distractions. Other periods offer opportunities to spend more time with friends, travel, or enjoy experiences unique to college.

That approach reflects one of the effort broader goals: helping undergraduate members develop habits they will continue using throughout their lives.

Brotherhood as a Health Resource

The conversation also placed a strong emphasis on relationships.

Luke encouraged members to invest in meaningful friendships, call friends rather than relying solely on text messages, tell people what they mean to them, and speak openly when they are struggling.

For fraternity members, those lessons have an immediate application.

Members already have a network of brothers around them. Luke challenged those in attendance to use those relationships by:

• Working out together
• Sharing meals
• Talking through problems
• Pursuing goals together
• Creating meaningful experiences
• Supporting one another during difficult periods

Health and wellness, Luke emphasized, are not limited to physical fitness. Relationships, personal habits, mental well-being, and the ability to lean on others all play a role.

Building a Foundation for the Future

The Sept. 15 conversation represents an early step in Devot’s effort to make health and wellness a greater part of the Fraternity’s undergraduate experience.

Near the end of the session, Luke asked members to identify one lesson they planned to carry forward. Their responses ranged from investing in experiences to better understanding the current chapter of their lives.

Devot closed by encouraging the members in attendance to take what they learned back to their chapters and continue serving as leaders among their peers.

“After the call, I had messages from undergraduates sharing Instagram posts of them putting these thoughts into action. I’ve been very pleased with where this is going, and with this effort over the long term, I want this to truly be part of our brand,” said Devot in the week following the event. 

The goal is not perfection. It is giving members the knowledge, relationships, and habits to make intentional decisions about their health today and well beyond their undergraduate years.
