when was sigma chi founded
Over 3 of the last 5 years, including last year, we won the Cathedral Award, given to the best overall fraternity at the University of Pittsburgh. Our chapter has received the Peterson Significant Chapter Award, the highest honor bestowed upon a Sigma Chi chapter, 4 times in our history. The City of Pittsburgh even declared October 1, 2000 Sigma Chi Day. Sigma Chi was founded on June 28, 1855, by seven undergraduate men at Miami University. They felt that the principles of fraternity were crucial to the overall college experience, but were dissatisfied with the unbalance of loyalties and ideals within the fraternities which existed at their university.
