Sigma Delta Phi at Otterbein

Sigma Delta Phi at Otterbein Sigma Delta Phi Fraternity, commonly known as Sphinx, was founded in 1919 at Otterbein University in

For 102 years Sigma Delta Phi has given members the opportunity to develop leadership skills and self-confidence. Sphinx has also provided a social outlet and a means to get involved in community service for its members during their last years at Otterbein University. The passage of time has produced many changes on campus, but one thing is clear, Sigma Delta Phi continues to thrive because we def

ine ourselves by the principles on which the fraternity was founded: Brotherhood, Scholarship, Self-Control, Devotion, Fidelity, and Service.

Yesterday, a few of our amazing brothers performed in the Unyielding Art of Drag event, with many who came out to support! The event was a success with a great turn out from both students and the community. A big shout out to Preston and Rowan for making it happen!

Events like these show that everyone can have a voice and express themselves. It’s important that we stand together and support one another. Remember that no one can take away who you are.
