2025 is an important milestone for Sigma Chi at Cornell: the 100th anniversary of our acquiring Greystone from Irene Castle. At the time we moved into Greystone, the Alpha Phi Chapter had already been on the Hill for 35 years. In 1990, we commemorated our centennial at Cornell with celebrations in Ithaca and New York City. Now it’s time for another centennial observance.
Join us for the Greystone Centennial Celebration July 18–20, 2025.
Please register below on or before June 1.
Your name and class year will be displayed below so other Sigma Chi alumni will know you are planning to be there.
Hope to see you in Ithaca in July.
John Foote ’74,
President of the Alumni Association
