  1. The Alpha chapter of Sigma Phi Delta was founded on April 11, 1924 in the third attempt to establish an engineering fraternity at the University, the other two having been terminated into general fraternities. Unlike many fraternities at USC, the Alpha chapter owns its historic house. The chapter house originally served as a foreign government consulate.
  2. The Delta chapter of Sigma Phi Delta was founded on January 25, 1928 by a group of students that included a brother of an Alpha chapter Founder and an Alpha chapter alumnus in graduate school. Delta chapter has produced 5 Grand Presidents who have guided the fraternity for 46 of its 80+ years of existence. The only two members who have been named Grand Old Men of Sigma Phi Delta Fraternity were Delta alumni.
  3. The Epsilon chapter hosts an annual Peddle-for-Pets Philanthropy in the fall semester. They are also participate in a local initiative called "Tech Boyz" that hosts weekly Engineering related information based session for different age groups, depending on grade.
  4. The Eta chapter of Sigma Phi Delta was founded on May 23, 1931 when a local Marquette Engineering Fraternity, Omega Sigma Phi, merged with the National Fraternity. Eta chapter has the largest number of registered alumni in the entire Sigma Phi Delta organization, with over 900 living alumni worldwide, and is Marquette University's oldest active fraternity.
  5. This chapter was established during an engineering undergraduate boom at Tri-State College (former name) following WWII and the G.I. Bill.
  6. Psi chapter has been active in helping start new chapters on the east coast, including Omega (Rutgers University), Beta-Iota (University of Maryland), and Beta-Kappa (Lehigh University).
  7. Beta-Delta chapter had been involved in Lego League and the Virginia Tech wide service projects known as Big Event and Relay for Life, and participated in philanthropies such as Cinco de Chi-O and their own Engineering Games, whose proceeds benefited FIRST Robotics.
  8. The Beta-Sigma chapter is the first chapter of Sigma Phi Delta placed at an Historically Black College and University (HBCU).
