Sig Tau group portrait

The Epsilon Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is the 140th chartered chapter of the national fraternity. Founded in 1920 by seventeen veterans of World War I at the University of Central Missouri, Sigma Tau Gamma endeavors to bind men together in a fraternal brotherhood based on our six principles:

  • Brotherhood, to enhance the worth of belonging;
  • Learning, to afford the environment for learning;
  • Leadership, to develop good leaders for America;
  • Excellence, to strive for superior performance;
  • Citizenship, to serve Fraternity, college, and country; and
  • Integrity, to perfect a structure of honor.

Our national organization is a member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference, and our chapter is a member of the Virginia Tech Interfraternity Council. Our chapter participates in the Interfraternity Council recruitment period every fall and spring semester. Our national new member education program is The Path of Principles, and our national philanthropy is the Special Olympics.
