Sigma Delta fraternity, founded at Clarkson in 1904, purchased the house at 6 Prospect Place from Professor Warren Mann on June 1, 1921. Initially they were not sure if they would build a new house or use the existing one. They ended up doing extensive remodeling to the existing house. They called it "the house on the hill."
In 1946 the brothers added a 27-foot flagpole in front of their house, dedicated to members of the fraternity who gave their lives in World War II. It was constructed with a cross arm so they could fly the American flag at the top and the Sigma Delta banner and Clarkson flag below. A bronze plaque installed at its base contains the names of all fallen alumni.
