A bit of history:
excerpts from "The Centennial History of the Sigma Chi Fraternity" by Robert M. Collett, Denison ‘15.
Sigma Chi's fourth Canadian chapter was established on January 22, 1949, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. It was named Delta Omicron. This made another campus on which the Miami Triad was completed.
Grand Praetor H. H. Whithed of Seattle headed the installing group. The initiation of 40 men took place in the Stanley Park Pavilion.
Dr. William R. Scott, Dalhousie '36, a resident of Vancouver, was one of the strongest sponsors of the new chapter and became its first Chapter Adviser. He was toastmaster at the banquet in the Mayfair Room of the Hotel Vancouver. Approximately 100 attended. After the traditional toasts to the King and to the President of the United States, a representative of the University and several members of other fraternities on the campus welcomed Sigma Chi to Vancouver. Grand Consul Sam C. Bullock welcomed the new chapter into the Sigma Chi fold.
