In Fall 2020, the Beta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Chi embarked on a tenuous journey toward returning our charter to the University of Tennessee. New officers had been selected and all had a hand in finalizing the chartering process, a testament to the new founding fathers of Beta Sigma’s leadership through the disruption caused by COVID-19.
Thanks to these new officers, including President Corbin Smith and Vice President Trey Ridenour, and under the guidance of Beta Sigma’s great alumni network, our chapter officially returned to their house at 1816 Fraternity Park Dr in the Fall of 2021."
​
As we look back years later, we appreciate the tremendous support and time that countless individuals committed to our chapter. As we continue to grow and build on the foundation that these men built during the rechartering of Beta Sigma, we strive to uphold the same brotherhood that allow us to operate today.
