Congratulations to our Bracket and Competition winners below!
About the Challenge
Your opportunity to help us build better men.
As we celebrate the enduring legacy of Alpha Sigma Phi, the Founders Day Challenge stands as our cornerstone fundraiser for supporting the growth and success of our members and chapters. The Founders Day Challenge allows us to continue being the industry leader in educational programming across North American fraternities.
With our chapters hungry to grow and new groups joining our brotherhood every year, the need for resources has never been greater. By making a gift toward the Founders Day Challenge, you are allowing Alpha Sigma Phi to uphold its tradition of excellence and remain a guiding force in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
