A Brotherhood founded on scholarship and dedicated to the five values of Alpha Sigma Phi: Silence, Charity, Purity, Honor, and Patriotism and dedicated to creating bonds of Brotherhood that will be lifelong. "Chapter History
The Epsilon Charter was granted on June 6, 1863, to Lyman Strong, Marietta 1860, and friends at Delaware College, now Ohio Wesleyan University. 16 members were initiated by t
he old chapter. Old Epsilon became inactive in 1864. In 1913 the petition of 12 members of the Ohio Wesleyan Union was approved and Epsilon was re-chartered on May 24, 1913. The chapter's first house was located at 110 Franklin Street, Delaware. In 1918 the chapter moved to temporary quarters at 123 Oak Street, and work undertaken to form a house corporation. In 1920 the chapter purchased the "Old Manse" at 121 Washington Street. The “old Manse” was Epsilon's home until 1966. In 1967 the chapter moved into a new house on campus on Williams Drive. The chapter became inactive in 1971, and low enrollment at the University hindered attempts to revive it. An interest group known as B.O.S.S. formed on the campus in the April 1991. In May 1991, three members of the original group graduated. In Fall 1991 five freshmen were recruited and Rich Ritter, a transfer student from University of Toledo, and an initiate of Beta Rho Chapter joined the group. The group grew to 37 members in the Fall of 1992, and submitted a petition for re-chartering in January 1993. The group met conditions set down by the University’s Greek affairs office, but a change of personnel in that office led the University to withhold approval for chartering the group. Given the quality and record of the petitioners and group, an exception was authorized by the Grand Council and the petition for charter approved. The installation and re-chartering of Epsilon Chapter took place on April 24, 1993." Source: AlphaSigmaPhi.org
