Sigma Chi's oldest continous chapter is Lambda, University of Indiana, est. 1858. It was the 6th charter issued.

And, for those who notice, no, Lambda is not the 6th letter (it's the 11th). Sigma Chi skipped every other greek letter when establishing their charters. Their big rival at Miami was Beta Theta Pi and our founders did not want a chapter with "Beta" as its designation. After chartering the Psi chapter, Sigma Chi went back and filled in the rest of the letters.
