Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity's Beta Upsilon Chapter at Cleveland State University. Founded nationally
Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity (ΣTΓ) also called "Sig Tau" is a U.S. college social fraternity founded on June 28, 1920 at University of Central Missouri (then known as Central Missouri State Teachers College). The fraternity was born out of the desires and aspirations of seventeen men in the belief that all men are social creatures and that friendships of college men are lasting ones. It rose as a re
sult of friendships made while in the service of their country during World War I in France. By dedicating themselves to the highest ideals of manhood, brotherhood and citizenship, they would inspire thousands of men from all parts of the country who would follow in their footsteps. In accordance with the founding of Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity at Central Missouri State Teachers College, the fraternity created new chapters on the campuses surrounding teachers colleges (at the time also called "normal schools"). Since the fraternity's beginnings in 1920, they have since spread to more than 140 university campuses across the United States. Cleveland State University became one of those campuses on December 3rd, 1961. Founded as the Beta Upsilon chapter of the fraternity, we have continued to carry on the ideals of our founders. We strive to serve our community, and support various charities through our philanthropic efforts. The skills and experience earned through our time in the fraternity will stay with us as we graduate and begin our professional careers.
