Sigma Beta Delta was founded in 1986 and derives its name from the
Greek alphabet. Sigma is the initial letter in the Greek word for Wisdom. Beta is the letter
that begins the Greek word for Honor, and Delta is the initial letter in a Greek word that
signifies the pursuit of meaningful aspirations.
