Clark Hall

When it was a part of Flora Stone Mather College, this building used to be the main classroom and gym. It was built in the 1890’s, so it was relatively new, like Sigma Psi. It was here that we initiated our first pledges in 1897. Our founding sisters then climbed the fire escape in ankle-length skirts to set off fireworks from the rooftop, catching a portion of the building on fire in the process.

As a tribute to our history, there’s a room dedicated to our chapter in the basement which was dedicated by the pledge class of 1995. Additionally, sometimes we hold Sig Experience here.

Before they sandblasted the building in 1989, you could see at the bottom of the fire escape the words “Elsie was here” carved into the stone. In Spring of 2017, a group of sisters gleefully scratched these words back into the building’s facade in celebration of their graduation.
