The Epsilon of Sigma Phi’s Capital Campaign!
Remember
Where it all
Started?
There are few places in life that continue to live within us years after we have left them. Sigma Phi is one of those places.
The plan is set. It’s time to rebuild the brotherhood and secure Sigma Phi at Cornell for the next century. We need $300,000 by June 30, 2026 to move forward.
Every gift, of any size, brings the brotherhood one step closer to reopening its doors. Be part of Recreating the Past to Build a Brighter Future.
Sigma Phi is writing its
next chapter, and
