Sterling Patrons
Sterling Patrons of Mu Phi Epsilon In 1989 the International Executive Board began the tradition of asking outstanding musicians and patrons of the arts to serve as Sterling Patrons. A Sterling Patron serves the Fraternity as a whole, and is named for our Founder, Dr. Winthrop Sterling.
