EVENT HISTORY
AN EVENT THAT DATES BACK TO 1907
Alpha Sigma Phi's Grand Chapter has been around for more than 100 years. It's a staple in the fabric of our great fraternity and has played a major role in the direction of the Old Gal for many years. It allows our undergraduate body to come together, debate the future of the Fraternity and take action that can make that future more easily attainable for future generations.
Grand Chapter has always been a sought after event for both undergraduates and alumni, alike. The opportunity to bring the brotherhood together is typically an exciting prospect, but even more so in 2022. The last Grand Chapter took place all the way back in 2018. Little did we know at the time that it would be our last for four whole years, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Alpha Sigma Phi's premiere event offers more than legislation. It's a gathering point for over 1,000 brothers within the Mystic Circle and their guests. It's a time to celebrate our brotherhood and make new memories with those we already share memories with, and those with whom we will make new memories.
It's safe to say, attendees at Grand Chapter can expect great things and memories to last a lifetime.
This is an event that is known to yield some of the Fraternity’s most memorable and impactful moments. Here are some of what has resulted in recent years:
2006
The Fraternity’s Five Values - Silence, Charity, Purity, Honor, and Patriotism
were made public.
2010
The CLVEN - National House Corporation was created and funded by the
undergraduate delegates.
2016
Frank Beamer, one of college football’s most winningest head coaches, was
initiated as a brother of Alpha Sigma Phi.
