What Do You Want To Do?
Who Do You Want To Be?
Sigma Phi Society (fraternity) is a special small residential community on Cornell University’s West Campus. Sigma Phi is not just about your four years on campus; it is about joining passionate and compassionate leaders who want to make an impact on their lives, careers, Cornell, and society.
Sigma Phi is a diverse, intimate community where students enhance and enrich their undergraduate experience and, upon graduation, launch uncommon lifelong journeys. Students from all backgrounds, abilities, experiences, and interests should consider the opportunities and advantages of Sigma Phi.
Our students boldly embark on their educational quest confident that they have a “home on the hill” and reassured of the depth of thoughtful and profound friendships.
Sigma Phi
@ Cornell
Cornell's Sigma Phi Fraternity is a life-time brotherhood of diverse men of character and accomplishment. Established in 1890, anchored in a beautifully preserved 1933 facility on West Campus, the house is known for its intimate size, campus engagement, dynamic programs, and supportive alumni.
THE HOUSE
One Forest Park Lane is maintained by donations from alumni, parents, and institutions and active involvement of alumni volunteers. The house is owned by Cornell University so our gift and philanthropy programs work through the Sigma Phi Gift Account at the University, with the Building Fund and Programmatic Funds, to provide tax deductibility and continuity.
THE BOARD
In parallel, the Board of the Cornell Sigma Phi Chapter has established programs of philanthropy and fundraising through this website, and new alumni engagement platform for its members. For non-members, register here for updates on our active Building Fund projects and special programs, such as the Tanenbaum Distinguished Speakers Fund, contributing to the quality of life for all.
SUPPORT
The donation opportunities below shall qualify for incentives from Cornell for rewards, in tandem with the Annual Cornell Giving Day. Each quarter, here we shall provide program fundraising information including budgets, construction and programs activities, and results.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
