Two national fraternities were founded on June 28th. Sigma Chi Fraternity was founded in 1855 and Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity was founded in 1920. Here is a little history on each:
Sigma Chi - The fraternity was founded on June 28, 1855 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio by seven founding members who split from Delta Kappa Epsilon. Sigma Chi is one of the oldest and the largest college social fraternities in the world with 240 active chapters and over 300,000 initiates. The fraternity is part of the Miami Triad and its most notable members include David Letterman and Brad Pitt.
Sigma Tau Gamma - The fraternity, also known as "Sig Tau" is an all-male collegiate social organization founded on June 28, 1920 at University of Central Missouri (then known as Central Missouri State Teachers College). The fraternity was born out of the aspirations of seventeen men who became friends while in the service of their country during World War I in France. In accordance with its founding, the fraternity created new chapters on the campuses surrounding teachers colleges (at the time also called "normal schools.")
Happy Founders' Day to both Sigma Chi and Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternities!
