About Us

The Sigma Chi Fraternity was founded on June 28, 1855 at Miami University in Oxford, OH by seven young men committee to the cultivation of friendship, justice and learning. Since 1855, Sigma Chi has developed values-based leaders committed to the betterment of character, campus, and community. Sigma Chi serves its purpose through various world-class programs that foster leadership, develop character, and build positive relationships amongst its members. These experiences enable our undergraduate members to become leaders in our professional careers and engage members of the communities in which we live. Sigma Chi at LSU was originally chartered in 1925 and has had a long history of leadership on LSU's campus and the Baton Rouge community. Student body presidents, IFC presidents, state legislators, and congressmen have walked through the House of the Southern Woods. Enjoying an active social calendar and holding GPA to a high degree in conjunction with leadership ideals help us to build well rounded men here at LSU.
