Sigma Chi was founded on June 28, 1855, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, by seven men who recognized that a principle-driven lifestyle should be paramount in an individual’s lifelong quest to achieve progressive development, and that the world in which they lived had a great need for ethical leaders whose core principles were based on the possession of remarkable character. Sigma Chi hopes to enhance the leadership abilities of men by refining their character through the framework of friendship, justice and learning.
