Mu Alpha ΣΧ
The Mu Alpha Chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity was founded on campus in 2015 and strives to instill the values of Sigma Chi into all our actions, events, and brothers on the UNC Charlotte campus. Our members take pride in working to help the community, which is shown in the number of hours we put into community service and the money we donate to charities each year.
Who are we?
Sigma Chi is the second-largest Fraternity in the world. Sigma Chi boasts over 300,000 active brothers, and over 250 chapters internationally.
History and tradition: Sigma Chi was founded in 1855 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, making it one of the oldest fraternities in the United States.

The fraternity offers leadership conferences, workshops, and training programs to help members enhance their abilities, and many Sigma Chi alumni hold leadership positions in various fields.

The fraternity's signature philanthropy event is the Derby Days, which is a week-long fundraising event that involves various activities and competitions. Over the years, Sigma Chi has raised millions of dollars for different charities.

“Sigma Chi was a learning experience for me in personal growth, in finding out more about myself, in shaping my life more effectively, and in directing my energies more efficiently. All of those things were heavily influenced by my Sigma Chi experience. There is no question that it has had a tremendous impact on my career professionally, and on my life.”

“I made some very long-lasting friendships with Sigs in college…a lot of them have lasted to this day, and are a very valuable thing to me. The Fraternity has meant a lot to me, and the Ritual is very, very meaningful to me.”

“What you do in life by yourself doesn’t mean as much as what you accomplish with a group of people. Sigma Chi was one of the greatest things that happened to me. I really appreciate what it has done for men in my lifetime and I hope I can continue to give something back.”

“When I became a Sigma Chi it was great; I was proud of the association. It was kind of an instant confidence builder for me, that, and what I considered the best fraternity on campus, had actually wanted me. I had always been very shy and without a lot of confidence. It was a really good social experience, and for me, a social maturation and a great benefit.”
