Sigma Chi is one of the oldest fraternities in North America, expanding from humble roots at the University of Miami in Oxford, Ohio. From there, the international fraternity grew into what it is today, the premier organization for collegiate men looking to better themselves into the young men of character that will enter the workforce as leaders of tomorrow. Sigma Chi is a tight knit brotherhood, one that has an active alumni network of over 300,000 brothers. The three principles the fraternity is built upon, Friendship, Justice and Learning, are maintained and upheld through life by means of community service, mentorship programs, and leadership workshops.

The Iota Xi Chapter at George Mason University has also grown from humble roots, and since 1989 the chapter has grown to over 500 alumni, each at a different place in their journey of commitment to the ideals of learning and brotherhood. The chapter has accrued five J. Dwight Peterson Significant Chapter Awards, as well as three James F. Bash Significant Improvement awards. Iota Xi is an eclectic brotherhood, reflecting the diversity of background and ideology that makes the George Mason Community what it is today. As one of our brothers once said, “If you find yourself to be a morally upstanding, academically driven, sociable young man, there is a spot for you here with us.”
