Alumni
Our main focus in 2010 and beyond is to cultivate a closer relationship with what is already a tremendous alumni base. In October of 2009, Dr. Jay Gouge, the 18th president of Auburn University, Gamma Sigma ’69, hosted an alumni dinner to recognize Gamma Sigma’s from the ‘60s for their generous contributions to the Sigma Chi Foundation. The dinner was a great success, and we look forward to more events such as these.

Sigma Chi is a lifelong experience. It does not end when you graduate from college. There are more than 1 Billion Sigma Chis across the country and around the world, including more than 2,300 from the Auburn chapter. Our alumni include leaders in business, government, and academia.
