The Tau Chapter of Sigma
Pi Fraternity has recently returned to the University of Wisconsin-Madison
after being gone for almost 70 years. Since our colonization last
spring, Sigma Pi has had a tremendous impact on campus. Sigma Pi
currently resides at one of the most beautiful houses in Madison.
This mansion is located at 16 Langdon Street and was designed by
Frank Lloyd Wright.
Prospective Member Information:
Students who choose to
rush Sigma Pi will be afforded a very unique experience. Because
of our recent chartering, new members will be some of the first
pledges of Tau Chapter. Therefore, you will become some of the first
people to pave the way for future members. Also, with the Chapter’s
young age you will have the ability to have a direct impact from
a leadership standpoint within the Fraternity and within your pledge
class. These opportunities make being involved with Sigma Pi more
than just a regular fraternity experience. Not only do we have one
of the lowest semester dues on campus but during your pledging semester
as a new member you are exempt from paying them! We hope that you
find these opportunities exciting and we look forward to welcoming
dedicated and enthusiastic students to our Fraternity.
Involvement and Accomplishments:
The gentlemen of Sigma
Pi have established ourselves as leaders on this campus as marked
by our accomplishments both within the Greek community and the UW
campus. As part of the Greek system there are numerous opportunities
to participate in community service, leadership building opportunities,
learn social skills and just have fun. Sigma Pi Fraternities diverse
brotherhood can be seen taking advantage of these opportunities
all around campus. Most recently we placed first in Humorology -
one of the largest campus theatrical productions benefiting Camp
Heartland. Another philanthropic event we've shown ourselves
to be leaders in is the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash philanthropy by
placing first in it over the past three years. This philanthropy
highlights swimming, dancing and vocal talents while raising money
for Service for Sight. Most recently we've placed first in
Greek week- an all Greek campus version of the Fall homecoming.
We also host a number of altruistic events throughout the year to
raise money for the American Red Cross, our National Fraternity's
Philanthropy. Most notable of those events is "A Night
With The Gentlemen"- which is a dinner and show prepared excusively
by the members of Sigma Pi for women in the campus area.
Our Ideals
The ideals of Sigma Pi,
which constitute the underlying reason for the Fraternity's rise,
development, and continued existence, are plainly set forth in our
teachings, and are in essense as follows:
- To establish a brotherhood.
- To establish and maintain an aristocracy of learning.
- To raise the standards of morality and develop character.
- To diffuse culture and encourage chivalry.
- To promote the spirit of civic righteousness and quicken the
national conscience.
It will be observed that
these five objects touch upon three different phases of a man's
life: namely, his Contacts, his Concepts, and his Controls.

anything to the ideal condition of mind and heart known as Brotherhood,
however much you preach, posture, or agree, unless you live it"
