About Us

Sigma Chi - Nationally

Sigma Chi is one of the oldest and largest fraternities in North America founded in 1855. We are honored to have an active alumni network of over 300,000 brothers around the country and abroad. Our highest ideals are those of friendship, justice, and learning professed by our founders in 1885. Each brother and chapter seeks to live these ideals each day and on each college campus.

Our Chapter of Sigma Chi

Our Chapter of Sigma Chi was founded in 2012 at Loyola Chicago. Since our founding, our chapter has gone on to do wonderful things. We have consistently been in the top 10 SC chapters for the Huntsman Fundraising Challenge and have enjoyed bringing Derby Week to Loyola University Chicago. We have raised over 330,000 dollars through this event and the generous support of Loyola’s Greek Life. Our brothers are involved in clubs, intramural sports, leadership organizations, and businesses, and continue to make Loyola’s Campus a better place. Our goal is to continue to make the campus a better place, raise more money, and make our Lambda Nu Chapter vital to campus.

Our Chapter’s Executive Board and Cabinet

 

Our Chapter is a diverse group of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors working to make each other better. We are joined by our common bonds of fraternity, friendship, justice, and learning. Each of our brothers has gone or is going through their pledgeship, initiation, and learned the various rituals needed to participate in the chapter. All ritually proficient brothers are involved in the election of Lambda Nu’s Executive Board and Cabinet.
