Sigma Chi

Sigma Chi Greek letters
Sigma Chi was started June 28, 1855 at the Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and today is a brotherhood with roots in the collegiate experience that gives rise to a lifelong commitment to strive to achieve true friendship, equal justice, and the fulfillment of learning. Since being established in 1943, Gamma Omega has developed as a lively and dynamic organization; committed to bettering the community of the University of Connecticut academically and philanthropically through the bond of our brotherhood. Being one of the oldest fraternities at UConn, we have been blessed with carrying on many traditions. We thank those before us that have given us the opportunity to continue bettering ourselves and our community around us. Once joining, each and every member wakes up proud to be a Sigma Chi for life.

Message from the Chapter President

Since joining Sigma Chi, the fraternity has had a profound and lasting impact on my college experience. Coming to UConn, I initially questioned whether Greek life would align with my personal and academic goals. However, from the moment I became a member, that uncertainty disappeared. Sigma Chi quickly became an essential part of my college journey both in and off campus. Sigma Chi is far more than a social organization; it is a brotherhood that actively develops its members into well-rounded individuals. The fraternity emphasizes balance across academics, leadership, and personal growth while fostering meaningful relationships grounded in shared values.
