Sigma Chi First Fraternity To Employ A Housemother
Alpha Xi chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity, founded at the University on May 23,1884, was the first fraternity chapter in the United States to employ a housemother.
It was in 1903 that a Mrs. Virginia Petty was taken in by the local chapter as a result of the loss of her home to flood waters. The idea proved so successful that it was soon adopted by other Sigma Cl' chapters, as well as other fraternities in the nation. Alpha Xi's present housemother is Mrs. Kenneth Whyte of Kansas City.
The local chapter was one of the first of the 123 chapters that are now affiliated with the national organization, which has headquarters in Evanston, Ill. The first chapter of Sigma Chi was founded at Miami university, Oxford, Ohio, on June 28, 1855. There, together with Beta Theta Phi and Phi Delta Theta, the Miami triad was formed.
The chapter house is located at 1439 Tennessee street. This has always been the address of Sigma Chi at KU. Built in 1931, the present house holds 60 men and last year was ranked by the Magazine of Sigma Chi as "one of the finest Sigma Chi chapter houses in the nation."
The outstanding event on the Sigma Chi social calendar is the annual Sweetheart party, held each spring. At this time the local Sweetheart of Sigma Chi is elected. Alpha Xi's present choice is Miss Carolyn Armsby, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
Outstanding Alpha Xi alumni include E. C. Quigley and "Dutch" Lonborg, athletic directors; Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men; E. H. Lindley, former KU chancellor, and Raymond K. Nichols, executive secretary.
