You are correct.
The Sigma Phi Society was founded at Union College in Schenectady, New York, on March, 4, 1827. Sigma Phi is the second member of the Union Triad, thus making it the oldest social fraternity in continuous national existence.

However, according to the Alabama and Sigma Phi web sites, there isn't a Sigma Phi colony or chapter at Bama.
Now there is a Sigma Pi colony listed on the Sigma Pi web site and also noted in "The Crimson White", Bama's student newspaper.

"The University's Sigma Pi fraternity colonized Sept. 26, joining more than 120 active chapters and colonies around the nation.
As a colony, the new fraternity is in the building and organizational stages. Officers say the fraternity will strive to form scholarship, leadership and intramural programs, as well as committee systems and community activities."
