Alpha Sigma Xi was created to savor the full experience of collegiate life, and not its bitter after taste.

In 1990, a group of students, who felt that the treatment of new members of fraternal organizations at Augustana was unacceptable, decided to form a new fraternity.  On October 31, 1990, Alpha Sigma Xi was founded, and on January 27, 1991, the new fraternity officially received its charter.

The brothers of Alpha Sigma Xi still firmly believe in the non-hazing traditions on which the group was founded.
