About
UCLA's Sigma Pi chapter, known as Upsilon, belongs to an international fraternity founded at Vincennes University in Indiana in 1897. The chapter traces its roots to a 1919 campus group called the Ball and Chain Gang and received its Sigma Pi charter in 1923, making it the first national fraternity on UCLA's then-new campus. Its alumni association backs the chapter, which handed out 20 scholarships to undergraduate members at its 103rd-year dinner in February 2026.
