Sigma Chi Fraternity was founded by seven college men (Benjamin Piatt Runkle, Thomas Cowan Bell, William Lewis Lockwood, Isaac M. Jordan, Daniel William Cooper, Franklin Howard Scobey and James Parks Caldwell) at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, on June 28, 1855. The founding of Sigma Chi Fraternity was the outgrowth of the seven founders' desire to perpetuate the ideals of true friendship, equal justice and the fulfillment of learning. These seven men believed that friendship among members sharing a common belief in these ideals and possessing different temperaments, talents and convictions was superior to friendship among members having like character. They further believed that genuine friendship could be maintained without surrendering the principle of individuality or sacrificing one's personal judgement.
