Sigma Iota

Sigma Iota (ΣΙ) was the second Latin American–based Greek lettered inter-collegiate fraternity established in the United States after Psi Alpha Kappa. The organization traces its origins to 1903 to a social club for Latin American students known as La Estrella de Oro. This club established at Louisiana State University, would then grow larger in scope and subsequently rebrand itself to eventually be the Sociedad Hispano-Americana, established in November 27, 1904 as a recognized fraternal organization by its parent institution. After years of growth and having expanded to multiple campuses, the fraternal society in 1911 then rebranded itself as a Greek-lettered organization. Sigma Iota merged with Phi Lambda Alpha fraternity to form Phi Iota Alpha on December 26, 1931.
