THE EPSILONER OF SIGMA PHI GUIDE
Who We AreHow to be published in The Epsiloner of Sigma Phi
Sigma Phi chapter at Cornell University produces The Epsiloner for all members to keep apprised of the state of the organization as well as to keep the brotherhood connected to one another. To create a publication for all members, family and friends of Sigma Phi chapter at Cornell University, we need to hear from alumni. All Sig’s are encouraged to submit news and stories to The Epsiloner. Submission guidelines and deadlines can be found here.
Among the founding members of Sigma Phi was Thomas Bowie, who later served as a representative in the United States Congress. His example set the tone for a tradition of community involvement that continues among brothers today. These contributions span a wide spectrum, reflecting the diverse talents and interests of our members, with many achieving success in fields such as business, academia, and public service.
ORIGIN STORY:
The
Epsilon of
Sigma
Phi
Sigma Phi takes great pride in its distinction as the oldest continuously operating social fraternity, dating back to its establishment in 1827. The enduring legacy of Sigma Phi stands as one of its most admirable attributes, and as we approach our bicentennial anniversary, our strength is undiminished.
From its inception, Sigma Phi was envisioned as a tight-knit brotherhood, a vision that remains intact to this day. Expansion to new chapters has been deliberate and selective, occurring only at institutions of the highest caliber. This deliberate
growth fosters an intimate environment within Sigma Phi, where the personal development of each member takes precedence, and lifelong friendships are cultivated.
The Epsilon chapter of Sigma Phi at Cornell
Founded on October 4, 1890, the Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi at Cornell University has upheld a tradition of leadership, scholarship, and brotherhood for over a century.
The chapter has a unique and historic connection to the university’s founder. Its chapter house, located at 1 Forest Park Lane, sits on land that was once part of Ezra Cornell’s original homestead, where Cornell operated his farm and lived in the home that helped shape the beginnings of Cornell University.
Today, the Sigma Phi chapter house preserves this connection to the past. A plaque on West Campus marks the site as part of Cornell’s original property, and in the basement, a wall and horse tie rings from Cornell’s original barn remain as tangible reminders of the chapter’s historic roots.
Our Core values nurture and develop the Sigma Phi brother. The experience received in three years at Sigma Phi is second to none. The result - a responsible, self-reliant man prepared to succeed in business, community and his family.
The Sigma Phi “The Epsilon Of New York” chapter forms a tight-knit brotherhood, dedicated to upholding excellence in leadership, scholarship, and camaraderie at Cornell University since 1890. Within the intimate setting of Sigma Phi, emphasis is placed on personal development of each member, and fostering enduring friendships that extend far beyond the college years.
