Sigma Alpha Mu (ΣΑΜ) also known as "Sammy" is a College fraternity founded at the City College of New York on November 26, 1909. Originally only for Jewish men, Sigma Alpha Mu remained as such until 1953. Originally headquartered in New York, Sigma Alpha Mu has relocated its international headquarters to Indianapolis, IN. Sigma Alpha Mu now has 67 chapters and colonies in the United States and Canada.

The Creed of Sigma Alpha Mu

To foster and maintain among its sons a spirit of fraternity, a spirit of mutual moral aid and support; to instill and maintain in the hearts of its sons love for and loyalty to Alma Mater and its ideals; to inculcate among its sons such ideals as will result in actions worthy of the highest precepts of true manhood, democracy, and humanity.
