Welcome to our Fraternity!
Delta Rho chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity
11 new sigma chi brothers!
Following the success of our spring rush process, we have officially initiated all eleven of our spring pledges! Thanks to hard work from our Magister Cameron Cocquyt, Assistant Magisters Jack Griman and Owen Mallery, entire Executive Board, and every other chapter brother, the pledge process and initiation was as smooth as possible. We are so excited for the 11 new brothers to finally be able to call themselves Sigma Chis and make their impact on our chapter!

Chapter Overview
Established as the Sigma Phi local at 11am on November 11, 1911 (The 11th hour of the 11th day, or the 11th month of the 11th year of the 20th century). Altogether, between 1911 and 1949, the Sigma Phi local initiated 852 men.
Sigma Phi Founders were Homer S. Jacquin, Eugene M. Harsch, and George Coriell. The first pledge was Bruce Lackland.
Jazquin, Coriell, and Lackland were present when the local became Delta Rho of Sigma Chi on May 28 th , 1949. Jacquin and
Lackland also became members—possibly Coriell, but we are unable to find him in the database.
The active members of the charter class of Delta Rho numbered 73. Another 43 Alumni of the Sigma Phi local also became
members that day. The fraternity ranked 3rd among Bradley university fraternities in GPA that first year.
Delta Rho Chapter house dedicated same year—on September 18, 1949. According to The Magazine of Sigma Chi, February
1950, they opened the house essentially debt-free.
The house survived until 2007 when it was acquired by the university and razed. A new Delta Rho Chapter house opened in
September 2007. For over thirteen years, the Delta Rho chapter has seen prosperity and growth in numbers, securing our status on the Bradley University campus.

INCOMING FRESHMAN
Rush is a very exciting time in a young man's life. It allows freshman males to come together, and see what Greek Life has to offer them. Whether you are a legacy, have your heart set on a specific house, or are not entirely sure what Rush is, we encourage you to formally rush. It offers you many opportunities, and the chance to make lifelong friends.
UPDATE: Stay tuned for more information on Fall Rush. We are planning to begin extending bids soon.
