Sigma Chi*

Beta Sigma Chapter

Sigma Chi is an international fraternity that is one of the largest and oldest fraternities in North America. Sigma Chi was founded in 1855 in Miami, Ohio, and it currently has 237 active undergraduate chapters. While we all come from different backgrounds, we are all grounded in enhancing the leadership abilities of men by refining their character through the framework of friendship, justice, and learning.

The Beta Sigma colony at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville was founded in 1917 and has a rich history of serving our campus, local community, and even the country. The Significant Sigs award is the General Fraternity’s highest honor, and Beta Sigma is home to 35 Significant Sigs. Our alumni include, but are not limited to, US Senators, US Congressmen, Mayors, CEOs, a National Championship Winning Coach, and a College Football Hall of Famer. Since beginning the rechartering process in 2019, Sigma Chi has amassed over 140 members, all of which are dedicated to being leaders on campus. Our chapter is heavily involved across campus, in SGA, Ambassadors, varsity athletics, intramurals, and so much more.

In Sigma Chi, we strive to be leaders of men, and this is made evident through our actions. Our chapter hosts Derby Days, which is our annual philanthropy event to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We endeavor to hold ourselves to a higher standard and improve our community. Overall, our goal is to develop principle-based leaders that understand how to make a positive influence on the world.
