Evanston, Illinois | March 18, 2026 – Sigma Chi International Fraternity has selected 21 men for induction to the Order of Constantine, which is the highest honor for members who have committed years of exemplary service to the organization.
The 2026 honorees will be inducted to the Order of Constantine either at Sigma Chi’s 86th Grand Chapter in Cincinnati, Ohio in June 2027 or at a local Fraternity event.
