Ryland Hall and first issue of The JournalSeven delegates attended the first Grand Chapter Conclave, representing four of the fraternity’s nine chapters. It was held in the Alpha chapter room in the tower of Ryland Hall at Richmond College.

Delegates passed the 1903 constitution, which provided for a grand council consisting of one representative from each chapter. They also authorized the publication of the Journal, which acts as a unifying force for SigEp by keeping brothers apprised of chapter events, trends, and fraternity business; it is to this day a forum for important issues, alumni news, and articulates the SigEp way of life.
