 | Address ChangeMany Brothers remember the Sig Address as 721 Yale. The original name of Yale Blvd was La Villagra. In 1976, while Lee Morgan was an undergraduate at UNM, he petitioned the City to change the address based on historical significance of the date 1855. Since Sigma Chi Rd ended at Yale and part of the House actually faces Sigma Chi Rd, the petition was approved. The Sig House became 1855 Sigma Chi Rd. The Sig House is the only Chapter house located on a road named Sigma Chi. |
