Sigma Chi's purpose is the cultivation of "Friendship, Justice, and Learning." This lays a foundation for our mission to seek personal growth and develop values-based transformational leaders. You'll be challenged and supported to become your best self.

To join Sigma Chi, you must be:

• A Man of Good Character

• A Student of Fair Ability

• With Ambitious Purposes

• A Congenial Disposition

• Possessed of Good Morals

• Having a High Sense of Honor and

• A Deep Sense of Personal Responsibility

This is a big one! Potential members often want to know about brotherhood, leadership opportunities, academic support, social events, and networking potential.

However, Sigma Chi is unique because we offer a values-based Transformational Leadership Program through the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute to enable members to learn how to be transformational leaders while gaining transferable course credits. This leadership programming is anchored by:

KRACH TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS WORKSHOP: Each summer, Sigma Chi’s undergraduate chapters send a delegation of five to seven brothers who were elected to officer positions to meet as a collective group during the Fraternity’s longest-running leadership enablement event.

HORIZONS HUNTSMAN LEADERSHIP SUMMIT: A six-day leadership program located in Snowbird, Utah. What began with 48 participants in a pilot program has grown into an annual attendance of nearly 250 undergraduates spread across five weeks each summer.

We have weekly meetings and at least two major social events per month. You'll find a healthy balance between fraternity life, academics, and other activities. Sigma Chi fosters well-rounded individuals who prioritize time management and responsible commitments.

While there are dues and fees, Sigma Chi strives to offer opportunities for all, and scholarships and financial aid options are available. The investment pays off through personal growth, lifelong connections, and valuable experiences.

Sigma Chi remains relevant by adapting to the changing times while staying true to its core values. The fraternity focuses on personal development, leadership, and service, which are timeless qualities crucial for success in any field.

Sigma Chi has a strict zero-tolerance policy for hazing. Our focus is on building positive relationships and fostering mutual respect. Mistreatment of members would be in direct conflict with our mission to develop valued-based transformational leaders.

As a member, you'll contribute to the community through participation in events, meetings, and service projects, fostering a sense of brotherhood and purpose.

Sigma Chi actively promotes diversity and welcomes male students who align with their values, regardless of background or affiliation.

Each chapter has its unique personality and traditions, offering a variety of experiences within the shared values of the fraternity. As a founding member in London, you will be helping to shape the culture of the London Chapter.

Consider your ambitions, personality, goals, and values when deciding.

Sigma Chi chapters are associated with specific institutions. Presently, we are working toward establishing a chapter linked to University of London, Imperial College of London, and Richmond American University London.

Social events are part of the experience but not the sole focus. Sigma Chi balances academics, service, and social life, fostering a well-rounded college experience.

We follow a party-hard and work-hard ethic. When we party, we take care to stay aligned with our values and, of course, within the law.

Absolutely not. We seek diversity in our membership.

Sigma Chi was founded because someone tried to make one of its founders conform and compromise his ethics. As a result, the founders codified:

“Friendship among members, sharing a common belief in an ideal, and possessing different temperaments, talents, and convictions is superior to friendship among members having the same temperaments, talents, and convictions; and that genuine friendship can be maintained without surrendering the principle of individuality or sacrificing one's personal judgment.”

Fraternal brotherhoods traditionally only admit male students because that's how they were founded and have operated for centuries. The idea behind them is to create a strong brotherhood among members, and historically, fraternities have functioned along gender lines.

“Frater” is lating for brother.

The concept of a fraternity emphasizes a bond, a term rooted in the idea of brotherood. Brothers support each other, and to do that well, they should feel comfortable being vulnerable with each other.

Traditional masculinity norms often discourage men from expressing emotions like sadness or fear. As well, societal expectations can make men feel judged for expressing vulnerability more openly with women.

Men might be socialised differently in the future, but today, we accept that most men and most of our members express emotions differently than women due to social conditioning.

Our highest priority is to create an atmosphere of trust and safety where our brothers can be vulnerable.
