The Sigma Chi Fraternity was founded on
June 28, 1855 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Six of the
Seven founding members split from Delta Kappa Epsilon to form
the largest and oldest international all-male college social
fraternity. The purpose of Sigma Chi is to promote the concepts
of Friendship, Justice, and Learning, and its mission statement
is to develop values-based leaders committed to the betterment
of character, campus, and community.
Membership in Sigma Chi involves both service oriented activities
as well as social bonding for its members. The men of Sigma
Chi have two national philanthropies, the Children’s Miracle
Network and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The Children’s
Miracle Network is a non profit organization that raises funds
for Children’s hospitals, medical research, and community
awareness of children’s health issues. The Huntsman Cancer
Institute is a research center at the University of Utah that
is designed to research, treat, and prevent cancer.
The Sigma Chi Fraternity was honored by the United States Congress
on its 150th anniversary on June 13th 2005 and became the first
Greek letter society so honored.
