Sigma Chi
Our History
Sigma Chi (ΣΧ) is one of the largest Greek-letter social fraternities in North America with 244 active chapters in the United States and Canada and more than 345,000 initiates. Sigma Chi was founded on June 28, 1855 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The seven founders of Sigma Chi are Thomas Cowan Bell, James Parks Caldwell, Daniel William Cooper, Isaac M. Jordan, William Lewis Lockwood, Benjamin Piatt Runkle and Franklin Howard Scobey.
Sigma Chi is committed to the ideals of friendship, justice, and learning. We seek to build brotherhood and life-long membership among members from all walks of life. Our brothers become values-based leaders committed to the betterment of character, campus and community
