Join your brothers for an evening honoring the founding of Sigma Chi at Miami University on June 28, 1855.
The XXXXXX Alumni Chapter invites all Sigma Chi brothers, families, and friends to our annual Founders Day Dinner on Saturday, April 18, 2026. This year's celebration will be held at the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside, California, beginning at 6:00 PM with a cocktail reception followed by dinner and our awards program at 7:00 PM.
For over a decade, our Founders Day gathering has served as the cornerstone event of the chapter's calendar — a time when brothers from across Southern California come together to celebrate the bonds forged during their undergraduate years and strengthened through a lifetime of shared purpose. Whether you crossed in the 1970s or the 2020s, this evening is yours.
This year carries special significance as we recognize the 25th anniversary of our chapter's rechartering. What began as a small group of brothers meeting at a local restaurant has grown into one of the most active alumni chapters in Province 14, with regular programming, mentorship initiatives, and a scholarship fund that has supported dozens of undergraduates pursuing academic excellence.
We are also proud to announce that proceeds from this year's event will directly benefit the Sigma Chi Foundation's leadership programming, ensuring that the next generation of Sigs has access to the same transformative experiences — Horizon, Krach, and Balfour — that shaped so many of us during our own chapter years.
We have an outstanding program planned this year that reflects the values of friendship, justice, and learning that define our fraternity. Our keynote speaker is Grand Consul Emeritus Brother James R. Walton, Eta Mu '82, who will share his reflections on the future of alumni engagement across the fraternity.
Founders Day is more than a dinner — it's a reminder that our bonds don't end at graduation. Every year I'm moved by the brothers who travel hours to be in the room, some reuniting after decades. That spirit is what keeps our chapter strong.
Tickets are $75 per person and include the cocktail reception, plated dinner, and a commemorative Founders Day lapel pin. Current dues-paying members of the Greater Inland Empire Alumni Chapter receive a $15 discount at checkout. If your annual dues are not yet up to date for the 2025–2026 fiscal year, you can renew during the registration process. A portion of all ticket sales supports our undergraduate scholarship fund at the local active chapter.
Tables of eight are available for groups who wish to sit together — simply note your table captain's name during registration and we'll handle the rest. We encourage all attendees to wear business casual attire. In Hoc Signo Vinces.
