"The Purpose of Rho Sigma is to better Ouachita by creating and maintaining a strong spirit of college loyalty, encouraging a constant improvement through athletics, recognizing the importance of an education that is balanced between scholastic achievement and participation in
extracurricular activities, and fostering friendship and brotherhood among the students."
– The Constitution of Rho Sigma, Article I, Section 2
Originally formed as the Hermesian Society in 1888, Rho Sigma has been at Ouachita from the institution's beginning.
Rho Sigma is the only Ouachita social club created to benefit the university as a whole and not just its members. Unlike other clubs, we have never changed our original mission.
If you want to enrich your time here at Ouachita, and want to make the most of your time in college, then consider rushing the best fraternity on campus.
There’s heritage here––a tremendous story that dates back to the Hermesian Society of 1888. When you join Rho Sigma, you’re adding to this story. This is bigger than you––it’s about being the best man you can be, treating others with respect, forging lifelong relationships with your brother Red Shirts, and leaving the world a better place than you found it.
When you join Rho Sigma, you’ll work with a diverse group of people to build consensus, manage conflict, and communicate effectively. Your time as an undergrad in Rho Sigma is an opportunity to develop character and gain the skills you need to be a leader in all aspects of your life. As a Red Shirt, you’ll forge lifelong bonds with like-minded brothers. These men will shape you, and you them, and push you to become the best version of yourself. Through good times and bad, they are your second family.
