Sigma Tau Gamma is a national collegiate fraternity founded in 1920 by teachers and veterans of the First World War. We are a Fraternity of courageous and noble men who always endeavor forward. Our members dedicate themselves to Sig Tau’s Six Principles:
Learning, Integrity, Excellence, Leadership, Citizenship, and Brotherhood.

Members of our staff have gone on to become physicians, attorneys, marketing executives, higher education administrators, sales managers, and fundraising professionals.
