To protect and strengthen Sigma Chi’s chapter houses, ensuring that the physical foundation of the undergraduate experience is safe, professionally supported, and worthy of the brotherhood it shelters.
House corporations are managed by committed Sigma Chi volunteers, brothers with full-time careers and no professional housing training, managing six- to seven-figure real estate operations without consistent access to expertise.
In ten years, CHI has assessed properties across the system, preserved chapter houses that would otherwise have been lost, launched the House Corporation Academy (HCA), the only formal HC officer training program in the Sigma Chi system, and established a lending capability that has kept more than one chapter alive, in partnership with the Grand Trustees.
Every chapter house is an asset worth protecting for every brother who will ever live there.
Every interaction demonstrates that CHI has done this before and knows how to help.
CHI is useful only if HC officers can reach it. We are the first call, not the last resort.
We measure what we do and report what we find — to our board, our funder, and the HCs we serve.

CHI’s work is made possible through the support of the Risk Management Foundation, Sigma Chi’s loss protection and risk management entity. RMF’s investment is grounded in a direct relationship: house corporations that are better governed, better maintained, and better supported produce fewer claims and a more stable portfolio.
CHI exists at the intersection of fraternal service and financial prudence. The work we do for HC volunteers is also the work that protects RMF’s portfolio.
