Sadly, per the last Greek Life Report in 2021, Sigma Chi had 8 active members and Sig Ep had 4 members.
The sororities are a bit better off:
DPhiE - 32
DZ - 26
Phi Sig - 25
Tri Sig - 22
Zeta - 29
The drops in enrollment don't help an already disconnected Greek system for sure.

It started going downhill in the 90s with a very unfriendly President who was more concerned with buildings than student life and has basically never recovered. The fact that on campus housing is compulsory for the first two years, and is expensive, pretty much has put a dagger through Greek life.
This closure truly sucks. The alumni who helped the chapter get restarted were in school with me and are some of the best guys in the world, who embody the meaning of fraternity.
