History of the Sigma Chi Fraternity and Delta Omicron Chapter
The Sigma Chi Fraternity and Delta Omicron Chapter share rich history. The Sigma Chi fraternity has existed for more than 150 years. Since then the Fraternity has enjoyed many changes and has grown to one of the largest Fraternities in the world with more than 220 chapters internationally and more than 250,000 undergraduate and alumni members. Our chapter was chartered in January of 1949. Over the last 58 years Delta Omicron has seen many changes. There were times when our chapter was close to disappearing off the UBC campus but through perseverance, dedication and commitment to our brotherhood, the Delta Omicron chapter is stronger than it has ever been, making it one of the premiere fraternities not only on campus but in Canada.
