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. Looking forward, we are thrilled to return to normalcy after COVID-19 and are excited for what the future holds!
