The Impact of the Fraternity Experience
Brothers are more connected to
their local communities, and they
spend more time volunteering
than nonaffiliated students.
Research
Proves Our
Mission Is
Important
Fraternities empower students and
provide a strong support system.
When members seek help,
they are twice as likely to
turn to a brother than
anyone else.
Members experience greater
gains in learning and graduate at
higher rates than their peers.
83% of members say their
confidence in their leadership
skills increased because of
their membership.
Members are more
academically engaged
than their peers.
"No other fraternity or sorority
at OSU provides scholarships
and leadership development
programs on the scale as Sigma
Chi. As alumni, we can take pride
in the fact that we continue to
come together and address the
ever-changing needs of a new generation of brothers. By
paying it forward, we demonstrate what it means
to be a Sigma Chi for life." –Whit Culver '01,
House Corporation Board President
• Research shows that when a fraternity member leaves
their chapter before graduation, the number one reason is lack
of financial resources. To ensure the viability Gamma Delta,
the House Corporation must prioritize the affordability of the
Sigma Chi experience at OSU.
• Scholarship grants are made possible by our alumni-driven
endowed scholarship funds at the OSU Foundation. Since its
inception, more than 125 alumni have contributed. Collectively,
the value of the fund exceeds $1.2 million.
• For the 2023 school year, grants to undergraduate brothers
exceeded $48,000. An additional $15,000 in grants were
awarded to 40 undergraduate brothers who attended
the first-ever Leadership Journey, an experiential workshop
modeled after ΣΧ's successful Horizons Program and delivered
in Stillwater by the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute.
