Intellectual Curiosity

You’ve been accepted into one of the world’s best universities, but Sigma Phis aren’t done. They relish all that Cornell has to offer inside and outside of the classroom, pursuing their studies and college life with vigor and aplomb. Sigma Phi regularly ranks among the Cornell fraternities with the highest cumulative GPA. Sigma Phis also learn from each other – one of the true benefits of intimate friendships in close proximity over the course of four years.

Compassion and Kindness

Students at Sigma Phi are ambitious, but never at the expense of cooperation, service, and friendship. As visible members of the Cornell and Ithaca community we seek to uphold the highest standards in conduct with each other, with our fellow students, and with our Ithaca neighbors.

Members remain the closest of friends throughout their lives, assisting each other both professionally and personally as we tackle the challenges of our lives and share in the joys of our lives.

Tolerance and Openness

We encourage diversity and inclusion in our recruitment, associations, and programs. Sigma Phi students and our alumni have no tolerance for hazing, sexual harassment, racism, discrimination or the abuse of alcohol.
