Letter From the Grand Consul

Brothers and Friends,

I cannot express what a joy it is to have an opportunity to address you as Sigma Chi’s 70th Grand Consul. I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust placed in me to hold the role and I hope to prove worthy of that trust. Together, we have many tasks before us as we work to advance the organization. We are a brotherhood, and together there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

In my inauguration speech, I explained that my theme for the biennium is “Expect More.” When our Founders placed the badge onto their chests, they recited a ritual that included their acknowledgement that they wanted the world to expect more of them, as a Sigma Chi, than it did of other men. Our badge symbolizes to the world that we voluntarily ask to be held to a higher standard and we ask our brothers to hold each of us to that higher standard. Good enough is, quite simply, not good enough. Everyone should begin to expect more when they see or hear the words, “Sigma Chi.”

This increased expectation must start with us. I am excited that this issue of The Magazine is focusing on the plaque commemorating the site of our original Hanover chapter house, as well as our monuments and memorials. These signify the lasting legacies that Sigma Chis, including our Founders, made upon the organization. We should all endeavor to leave such a mark upon Sigma Chi and this world. While these plaques and other physical reminders recognize the important foundations upon which a legacy was built, the more important memorial is the legacy we each leave upon the hearts of our brothers and friends, as well as upon the world, through our actions.

As we celebrate these physical monuments, let us also keep in mind that every day we build our own legacy with those around us. Our interactions with our families, co-workers, friends and others will be a lasting monument to the impact that we have had upon them. It is up to each of us to make sure that by holding ourselves to a higher standard, we make that lasting impact a positive one.

Expect more,

Tommy Geddings

Even While “Horribly” Sick, Deaflympian Taylor Koss Medals on the World Stage

Despite being ill as he ran the 400m hurdles in the 2017 Deaflympics on July 24 in Turkey, Taylor Koss, WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE 2017, shown here, took home the bronze medal.

“I was sick due to viral infection a day before I started competing, and I lost few pounds and I felt very weak, but had to mentally overcome that, and didn’t give up on the bronze medal,” says Team USA captain Koss, who was featured in the summer Magazine

In his second appearance at the Deaflympics, Koss also finished third in the 200m.

He attributes his perseverance in part to his parents, Kim and James Koss, for cheering him on to success as he competed in the 400m hurdles.

“If they were not here [when I had] my illness and helping me, I would have scratched the 400m hurdles. They are very supportive and motivational.”

Not only was Koss sick during the race, but he was also in lane No. 8, which he says was the worst one to run in because he couldn’t see his competition behind him. “I had to run full speed to make all competitors work hard to catch up and lose their rhythm,” he says.

The 400m hurdles seemed to be Koss’ signature race. He had set a men’s USA Deaf Track and Field all-time record of 53.27 in the 400m hurdles on May 12, at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee LaCrosse Eagle Open. He finished with a time of 53.75 at the Deaflympics.

Koss placed fifth in the 400m hurdles at the 2013 Deaflympics in Bulgaria with a time of 55.81, and had hoped to bring home gold this year. He had even done his research — prior to his arrival at the 2017 Deaflympics, Koss followed Russian 400m hurdler Konstantin Grebenshchikov on social media for his times. Grebenshchikov and his teammate beat Koss in this year’s race.

“I always checked on him with his times and training whenever he posted on his social media,” Koss explains. “It motivated me to train and focus harder. My coach also explained to me about how good the Russians were.”

While Koss stayed positive and focused on how he would run the race, Grebenshchikov tried to get to him. “Before I left for the Deaflympics, this Russian athlete messaged me in his native slang language, which was difficult to figure out at first, but basically [he] tried to psyche me out,” Koss says. “He tried to get me to give up and let him to get the medal, which even motivated me more, but I think he was afraid of me, too. However, I didn’t listen [to] him.”

While Koss stayed focused, his chapter brothers texted him good luck messages, and he received support from those on Team USA, as well as from other fans. He says he feels blessed to have won his medals. “Bringing two medals home in individual events [while] being horribly ill was quite the accomplishment! I knew I could have done better than the bronze had I not gotten the sick. But I was really happy because I think it [was] really hard to get any medal considering I [had] the bad illness,” Koss says.

He plans to try out for the 2021 Deaflympics.

Letter From the Editor

Dear Readers,

Last October, we added another historic plaque to the collection of markers and memorials that signify a place of importance to the Fraternity, when we dedicated the plaque that recognizes the site of the original Hanover chapter house. The house was the first to be financed and built for a Fraternity chapter; the perseverance of Hanover Sigs to locate the spot where the structure once stood and to gain approval to erect the marker is a testament to their understanding of the importance of keeping our history alive.

The 14 wardens of the Fraternity’s monuments and memorials also realize how vital it is to honor the past, so much so that they volunteer their time to maintain the historic sites they oversee. Led by chairman and Order of Constantine Sig George Hooper, KANSAS STATE 1960 , they are the stewards of the monuments that recognize Sigma Chi’s Founders, as well as other important memorials. When wardens speak of their roles, it is clear that they think of their responsibilities as a privilege and a selfless service to the organization, just as those involved with recognizing the Hanover chapter house did when they secured the plaque for the historic site.

I hope you enjoy reading about the efforts of the Hanover Sigs and the history of the monuments and memorials commission in this issue.

Sincerely,

Susan Lorimor EDITOR

Watching the Fraternity’s Colors Wave in the First Flag Friday-Winning Video

Before leaving for their July 2017 vacation in the French West Indies, 2019 Pepperdine graduates Matt Stomberg and Henry Coughlan thought it would be a good idea to show their Fraternity spirit on their trip.

“A week before we were going on this trip [Coughlan] brought it up to me and [said] ‘Hey, do you think it would be cool if we bought a flag and brought it on the trip and maybe got some cool shots for Sigma Chi [at] Pepperdine?’” says Stomberg. “We were thinking we could go to an island or something and take some cool shots of the beach.”

During their island-hopping, they sailed the coast of St. Barthélemy, or St. Barts, while trying to get some good photos to bring back to their chapter.

“We ended up taking a bunch of shots, but one of the days we rented a catamaran,” says Stomberg. “When we got on the boat, the captain was a really cool guy and saw [Coughlan’s Sigma Chi] flag and asked, ‘Would you guys like to fly that?’”

Stromberg explains that he and Coughlan excitedly agreed to fly the flag on the boat while cruising around the island. With the flag moving in the wind, high above those on the catamaran, Coughlan captured the moment with a video camera on his drone.

The 15-second video was chosen to be the first winning video

Social Media Doesn’t Take Breaks; Plan Posts Accordingly

School may break for national holidays and time between semesters, but recruitment chairman Albert Smith, KENT STATE 2019 , at right, doesn’t take time off in his role as the manager of his chapter’s Twitter account.

“You got to keep posting, you got to keep things relevant, because if not, people are going to forget about you. We have a big following on our Twitter [account], so by keeping up with the posts, people are more likely to see us, remember us and have a positive image [of us],” says Smith, a public relations major and advertising minor.

Although there may be a lack of events taking place on campus during breaks, Smith says it’s important to stay attentive to what’s going on and be creative when making posts. “Look for something to post about. Whatever day it is, whatever is going on, have brothers send you pictures … of what they’re doing over [break],” he says.

Smith also encourages those who manage chapters’ social media to involve all of their brothers in it. That way, the brothers can provide social media managers updates on what they are doing online, and those posts can be shared. “Over break when there’s [not much] happening, you [then] know if something does happen, no matter how minor it is,” Smith says. “… Tweet about it or post about it … somebody’s going to see it; somebody’s going to care.”

Smith also says that during a break is a great time to prepare for future posts, such as one for Thanksgiving, so that it’s not thrown together at the last minute.

for #flagfriday on July 28 and can be seen on @sigmachi’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

“I think [pictures and videos] are both good in their own right; it just kind of depends on the situation [to know which is best],” Stomberg says. “I mean, if there’s some type of event going on … it would be great to get a video there … but [at] a formal or something [when] you want to get a good shot with all the brothers together, that’s kind of the time and place for a picture.”

Sharing a Thanksgiving Meal

Since 2008, Significant Sig Rick Warther, KENT STATE 1977, and his family have lent a helping hand to Philadelphia residents during the holiday season by ensuring they have food on the table. By Evan Moore

ABelow: Significant Sig Rick Warther, KENT STATE 1977 , at far left, his wife Francie, her brother Kevin Truran and his daughters Rachel and Sophia Truran, deliver turkeys to the Garcia family in Philadelphia on Nov. 19, 2016.

fter the stock market crash of September 2008, Significant Sig Rick Warther, KENT STATE 1977, figured that there were families who may struggle to make ends meet ahead of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. “We’re sitting around the table with my daughter and wife preparing and talking about Thanksgiving and my daughter says, ‘I cannot believe that people out there aren’t going to have a turkey [at] Thanksgiving.’ I agreed,” says Warther, the fall quarter Mark V. Anderson Character-inAction™ Leadership Award winner. “Then I said, ‘We ought to get a bunch of turkeys and get our friends involved and give them to people [who] don’t have

them or wouldn’t have them [otherwise].’”

The Warthers set out to not only raise money from their friends to fund holiday meals for those in need, but also to collect donated turkeys from a local farm. That year, they gave about 500 turkeys to families in south Philadelphia. Since then, they have donated more than 10,000 of them through the organization that Warther’s daughters, Katie and Natalie, started called Tons of Turkeys.

Last year, Warther and his organization teamed with Cityteam Ministries in Philadelphia to deliver turkeys and baskets of bread, canned cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie mix to residents of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Along the way, Cityteam provided Tons of Turkeys with 150 volunteers to assist in delivering the turkeys.

The first year that Warther and his family donated the turkeys, they received them from Jaindl Turkey Farm in Olefield, Pennsylvania, which is near his home in West Chester.

He says they also asked their friends for checks to help fund the Thanksgiving meals, along with the family’s own personal money.

“We go to the turkey farm and put together a 501(c)3 with an attorney friend of mine and we got driving a rental truck and [found] out that the turkey farm had done turkeys for the White House for many, many years,” Warther says. “So, we negotiated for turkeys that might have a wing missing or other lower-grade turkeys.”

After Warther and his friends and family secured transportation to move the turkeys, they drove them in a truck to two of Philadelphia’s most

Character-in-Action

impoverished neighborhoods. “We went to a place called Philabundance. It took a while for them to realize that we were just a family who wanted to hand out turkeys,” says Warther, whom the food bank presented its 2009 Harvester of Hope Award.

These days, Warther obtains the turkeys he donates from Wal-Mart, and he donates 500 turkeys to the Chester County Food Bank. “We get a lot of calls from nonprofits that are looking for ways to acquire turkeys,” explains Warther.

“He’s [a] model for generations to come on how to care for your community,” says Phoebe Kitson-Davis of the Chester County Food Bank.

Because the donations he receives are so great, he gives some of the birds to such nonprofits, which can in turn distribute them to others. “Now, I can say, ‘Just call Cityteam in Philadelphia or Chester County Food Bank [for a turkey].’”

Those organizations also value his efforts. “[Rick has] allowed people to have a Thanksgiving meal in

Making a difference in your life and the lives of others

A person with good character shows trustworthiness, respect and fairness to others, as well as responsibility and citizenship. Those members who go out of their way to help others and those who overcome obstacles and lead with integrity are good candidates for the Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action™ Leadership Award.

Sigma Chi has introduced the award to recognize the selfl ess acts of brothers. The Fraternity is known for building leaders, and its members have a reputation of acting with character to change their communities. A formal recognition of these actions by the Fraternity allows non-members to appreciate the scope of the organization.

their homes like everyone else, rather than going to the soup kitchen,” says Phoebe Kitson-Davis, manager for agency and community partnerships with the Chester County Food Bank. We’re very grateful for what he’s done. He’s [a] model for generations to come on how to care for your community.”

Since Tons of Turkeys has grown, Warther’s daughter, Natalie, annually writes a letter that is direct mailed to over 50,000 small business in the area to solicit donations. Warther says that this results in donations from small business owners such as plumbers, electricians, dentists and doctors that range from $50 to $2,000 each.

He says that he is glad that his daughter’s idea several Thanksgivings ago came to life and has helped so many people. “It’s easy for us to do this and ask for support from small business owners,” he notes. He also says that the feeling of helping his fellow man is a great one, and that giving to others has impacted him. “I think we are blessed and fortunate to be in the situation we’re in,” says Warther, the CEO of Vanguard ID Systems Inc., a maker of custom-printed barcodes and radiofrequency identification cards. “This helped to humble us up a little bit in seeing the people who really appreciate [the donations]. It makes you feel proud to contribute and help these people who look at it as the good things they can celebrate in their lives.”

Continuous Recognition and Rewards

A New Biennium

Seventieth Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985, charts the course for the Fraternity for the next two years.

Above: Seventieth Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985, presents his state of the Fraternity address at the 2017 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop on Aug. 2 at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.

As Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985, embarks upon the next two years as 70th Grand Consul, he does so with a slogan of “Expect More,” reminding the organization and those involved with it to challenge themselves and others to exceed expectations.

Among his top priorities are to develop a universal Derby Days philanthropic event with a manual that will guide chapters in the implementation of a one-, three- or five-day program. Geddings has created a task force that Southern Ohio province Grand Praetor Ryan Temby, RUTGERS 1990, will lead to examine Derby Days. The task

force will consist of undergraduates, alumni, representatives of the National Panhellenic Conference, collegiate sorority women and school administrators.

Also this fall, work will begin on campuses with the new Ritual for Life (R4L) program. It will be piloted at more than 30 chapters. The program builds off of the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program and will replace what some chapters call post-initiation training.

R4L will teach recently initiated members the meaning of the Fraternity’s colors, how to run a chapter meeting and the history of the Ritual.

“I’m extremely excited … for every initiated brother to experience R4L,” Geddings said in his state of the Fraternity address on Aug. 3, 2017, at the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW) at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. “At every [Balfour LTW], one of the most popular events is the Ritual discussion, so the R4L program will take that information that’s normally discussed at workshop, condense it into small blocks of time and bring it back to the individual chapters.”

Geddings also hopes to continue to tweak P4B, reviewing even more submissions from chapters for possible local events they would like to see in the program.

Another way in which Geddings hopes to improve chapters is through the Mission 365 recruitment training program and Crossroads drug and alcohol education program, which are being updated. Lifeline, which focuses on mental health awareness and suicide prevention, is evolving to become the Strong Arms program. A donation from the family of Keller

Zibilich, LOUISIANA STATE 2015 , who took his life on Feb. 4, 2012, will make this possible. Strong Arms, which is expected to launch in early 2018, will implement further mental health education for undergraduates on Sigma Chi U, the Fraternity’s online education platform.

In the future, Geddings hopes to offer chapter advisor and specific undergraduate officer training on Sigma Chi U; the goal is to expand offerings for alumni on the platform. The Sigma Chi Foundation has made additional funds available for Sigma Chi U, allowing the Fraternity to hire more Headquarters staff members to work on it and speed the process of deploying its educational materials. Additionally, Geddings would like to provide more scholarships and learning opportunities like the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit for outstanding undergraduates, while also focusing on increased accountability within collegiate chapters and encouraging more alumni to either become donors or become involved within the organization. To share an interest in becoming a volunteer, alumni can fill out a form at sigmachi.org/volunteerinternationally-locally; to donate, they can go to foundation.sigmachi. org. Alternately, individuals can call Headquarters at (847) 869-3655.

“I’m extremely excited ... for every initiated brother to experience R4L,” Gedding said.

Also this biennium, the Foundation and Fraternity further their commitment to speak with one voice in their actions and their communications. Through this effort, the Fraternity and Foundation will utilize a shared vision, which is “to be the preeminent leadership and character development brotherhood, benefiting members throughout life.” A new mission for each of the entities was created to define roles in achieving that vision.

Get to Know Geddings

Q. Where are you from?

A. I am from Manning, South Carolina, which is a small town in southeast South Carolina.

Q. What do you do for a living?

A. I am an attorney. Since Manning is a small town, I do a little bit of everything. One minute it is a death penalty case and the next minute someone may have been bitten by the neighbor’s dog [and I am handling that]. Many Sigma Chis do not realize that other than our Headquarters staff, our volunteers [such as myself] have jobs just like everyone else. No elected officer receives any pay from Sigma Chi.

Q. What about your family?

A. I am the oldest of three children. My parents are both alive and are from Manning … as well. I have a lot of family in the area. One of my sisters attended the University of South Carolina and was a little sister for the Sigma Chi chapter [there]. The other sister went to school where there was no Sigma Chi chapter. My wife, Jane, is from Walterboro, South Carolina, and we met while we were both [students] at the University of South Carolina. She is a teacher at the local community college. We have a son and a daughter who both attended the University of South Carolina. My daughter is a member of Gamma Phi Beta [Sorority]. My son is a Sigma Chi from [the former] Gamma Nu chapter.

Q. What was your best Sigma Chi experience?

A. In [the] summer of 1983, I was going to be our chapter’s Magister, so I travelled with the other officers to [Balfour Leadership Training] Workshop in Bowling Green, Ohio. We had a wonderful time on the trip, but I was dreading the wasted days to be spent at a conference. To me, Sigma Chi was my chapter and the bigger organization was only a burden. At that workshop, however, I was fortunate to have [Order of Constantine Sig] Jeff Greene, WYOMING 1975 , as my facilitator and within only a few short days, I was weeping like a baby when it came time to leave. That was when I realized that Sigma Chi was about a lot more than just my chapter and I realized that being a part of the international whole of Sigma Chi offered so much more than I had thought possible.

Some of the poems are down and dirty, while other passages are dreamlike and aspirational, with a thread of humor. And where there is humor, there is optimism, Wise says.

In this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi , we highlight Hanover College Sigs and the process they went through to research the location of their original chapter house, installing a plaque to commemorate it.

The house is recognized as the first to be financed and built for a Fraternity chapter. Brothers said that over the years they talked about recognizing the site in such a manner, but it was not until October 2016 that those dreams became reality.

Other sites of Fraternity significance are recognized with monuments, including those at the gravesites of the Founders and Ninth Grand Consul

Joseph Nate, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1890, author of the History of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, 1855 to 1930 . Nate served as 13th Grand Historian and Grand Quaestor, and has been referred to as the eighth Founder of Sigma Chi.

The Monuments and Memorials Commission, which oversees the Fraternity’s 14 such historic markers, was created in 1921 as the Runkle Monument Commission. While the intent was to finance and erect a monument in honor of Founder Benjamin Piatt Runkle, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, the commission’s scope soon expanded, as monuments to the other Founders and persons of note were eventually created.

As time goes by, the importance of the installation of these monuments, as well as the plaque at Hanover College, deepens, as they become reminders for generations to come of the Fraternity’s history. We hope you enjoy reading about them in this issue.

MARKING HISTORY

Honoring Historic House an

For years, Hanover Sigs have talked about marking the site of their 1890 to 1917 chapter house, which was the first within the Fraternity to be financed and built for a chapter. That dream recently became reality, with a plaque dedicated on Oct. 1, 2016, to recognize the location of the house.

By Susan Lorimor

What began as a personal project for Chris Barbera, HANOVER 2017, turned into one that will have a lasting impact on the International Fraternity.

When Barbera was an undergraduate, he began researching where the original Hanover chapter house, which opened in 1890, once stood. It was destroyed by a tornado in 1974, and Barbera wanted to learn the exact location on the lot where the home was. After he located it, he and other chapter brothers unveiled a plaque on Oct. 1, 2016, noting it as the first chapter house to be financed and constructed for Sigma Chi. The plaque also recognizes Fifth Grand Consul Walter Fisher, HANOVER 1883 , who led the financing of the house.

Mark Dunning, HANOVER 1983 , petitioned and secured approval for the recent creation by the Fraternity’s Monuments and Memorials Commission.

“It was very rewarding,” Barbera says of the project, adding that he began it because he thought knowing the exact site of the house could add to his chapter’s history and the General Fraternity’s as well.

The structure housed Sigma Chis from 1890 to 1917, until the chapter went dormant because of World War I. It was later sold to the college, and when chapter operations resumed in 1936, its members lived in another location. The chapter then moved into a new home in 1941 and yet another one in 1955. It has lived in the latter home since then, save for a few years in the 2000s when brothers resided elsewhere.

Over the years, generations of brothers spoke of the old chapter house, some visiting the empty lot where it stood, and once construction took place on or near the lot, some tried to ascertain where the structure had stood. Barbera was one of those who tried to learn exactly where the house was. By the time he entered college, the lot where the house stood was no longer on the outskirts of the college, where it had been before other buildings

The November 1915 Sigma Chi directory only lists the structure as having been on College Drive, but does not include a house number. Because of the construction in the area, gone are the steps that were once on the lot near where the house stood, making Barbera’s job trickier. However, he is confident he has the location narrowed down well. He examined aerial photos that showed the aftermath of the tornado, as well as others from the 1930s and

has since on exactly on

Barbera helped locate the spot where the house once stood, and Dunning petitioned and secured placement of the plaque.

HONORING AN HISTORIC HOUSE

1940s that displayed where the house once stood. Through his research, he determined where the house was. “I knew where it was at [prior to that], give or take 500 feet,” he says. “I think we have the plaque where it was give or take 10 feet.”

Barbera made a class trip to Washington, D.C., in May 2015, and visited Dunning; that is when memorializing the site of the original chapter house was the topic of discussion. “We talked about how cool it would be to put a plaque at the spot where the first chapter house was,” Barbera says.

The plaque stands in a grassy lot on the other side of a parking lot; potential clues to the house’s exact location were old chunks of concrete found on the site that could have been the steps. However, Barbera says it’s hard to tell if they are from the house; the area where they were found had been excavated for a building and they could have simply been left behind in the process.

Mike Graham, HANOVER 1995 , says that after he graduated, he learned that the steps had been removed, and he was sad to hear it. He sat on them several times as an undergraduate as he visited the old chapter house lot. “I used to walk over there every once in a while and sit on the steps,” he says, adding that it was a place for him to get away and think or relax. “It kind of gave me comfort … It made me feel not alone.”

He says that while he was on the steps, he thought of the brothers who had gone before him who also had not done well on a test or who had girlfriend problems. However, Graham is quick to point out that he went to the steps in good times, too, when he simply wanted to be alone.

For Graham, it was like the physical representation of his connection to the old home was gone, though it is now replaced by the plaque. He says that when he was an undergraduate, his chapter also raised the idea of erecting a sign to mark the location of the original chapter house, and he was told that other classes had done the same thing, to no avail. Thus, when he learned that Barbera and others had not only brought forth the idea, but had received the green light to put the sign in place and have it dedicated, he was excited.

Working with those at Hanover College, Dunning secured permission from its president, Lake Lambert III, Ph.D., to place the

Below: On one side of the plaque that memorializes the site of the original Hanover chapter house in Hanover, Indiana, is a tribute to Fifth Grand Consul Walter Fisher, HANOVER 1883 , who led the financing of the house. According to the Sigma Chi Quarterly, the predecessor to The Magazine of Sigma Chi, the chapter decided to purchase a site for the house in 1888 that overlooked Crowe Falls and the ravine at which the chapter founders had met in the spring of 1871 when they decided to push their efforts forward to obtain a Fraternity charter. Otto Matz, a Chicago architect, designed the home, which cost about $4,500 to build. Fisher, acting as trustee of Hanover’s chapter house association, issued 180 shares of stock for the par value of $25 to finance the house. On Oct. 3, 1891, Fisher executed a declaration of trust stating that he held the property as a trustee for the stock owners, subject to the control of the owner or owners of a majority of the shares. Brothers bought $2,300 of the $4,500 of stock and Fisher borrowed the remaining balance of $2,200 from a local building association, according to the Quarterly. The house was furnished by the undergraduate chapter, and those who lived in it paid room rent to the chapter house association.

plaque on campus. On April 8, 2016, the Executive Committee voted to give its approval to place the Hanover chapter site on the list of 14 monuments and memorials, which include monuments at the Founders’ gravesites and Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. Dunning, Barbera and those involved in the creation of the plaque also raised $5,200, which was more than enough to pay for it and the dedication ceremony, held later that year in October. At the event, Lambert, then-Consul Jacob Baumann, 2017 ; Barbera; Jeff Studds, 1977 ; and then-Tribune Zach Gabbert, 2019; addressed the crowd. Dunning says 92 people were in attendance. Graham says he was sad he missed it, but he saw the photos online of the ceremony that his brothers posted.

For Barbera, Dunning and other Hanover Sigs, the event was meaningful, capping many months of work to memorialize the site of their original chapter house. “I’m glad it had come to a conclusion,” Barbera says, noting that he learned an important lesson from his efforts. “It’s never too late to get involved in a project you find interesting.”

He also said in the speech he delivered at the dedication that the project allowed him the opportunity to see the bonds of brotherhood that are shared across the generations, as men he had never met before helped him in the process.

THE RISE OF THE CHAPTER HOUSE

Years before the first Sigma Chi-owned chapter house opened at Hanover College in the fall of 1890, other chapters across the country were renting and residing in their own living spaces. Thus, the honor of establishing the first Sigma Chi chapter house goes to Sigs at the University of Michigan, who rented a house in 1885. The Northwestern and MIT chapters followed in 1886 when they rented their houses. Within a few years there were also rented chapter houses at California-Berkeley, Minnesota and Southern California.

In 1882, the Gettysburg chapter was the first to establish a fund for the purpose of building its own house. Other chapters followed by establishing their fundraising efforts, such as Albion in 1886 and Hanover in 1888. These efforts resulted in the first Sigma Chi-owned houses in the early 1890s. Hanover was the first to open such a house.

Yet, with all of this positive housing activity, by the end of the 1800s there was an ongoing debate on the merits of chapter houses. Critics called them “elitist” and claimed that chapter houses would remove fraternity members from the mainstream of university life. The debate within the Greek-letter community, however, was overwhelmingly supportive. The editors of The Magazine of Sigma Chi agreed and carried several supportive editorials on the subject. Following the opening of the Hanover chapter house, the Albion and Gettysburg chapters completed their own “lodges” in 1891, but they were essentially one-room meeting houses with no accommodations. Over the next several years, other chapters joined in with construction of their own structures and by 1894, the editors of The Magazine of Sigma Chi asserted that chapter houses were recognized as necessary for the growth of every

fraternity, saying that chapters’ wellbeing depends upon them.

As a final acknowledgement of the growing importance of chapter houses to the well-being of the Fraternity, ninth Grand Consul and 13th Grand Historian Joseph Cookman Nate, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1890, proposed at the 22nd Grand Chapter in 1895 in Cincinnati that the Fraternity establish a chapter house endowment fund. Members voted to initiate the fund, which provided $500 loans for the construction or acquisition of chapter houses. Today, Constantine Capital Inc. makes use of Fraternity and Foundation endowments by providing loans of up to $250,000 for chapter house improvement.

Guardians of the Past

speaks during the dedication of the Benjamin Piatt Runkle Memorial Monument in Arlington National Cemetery on April 29, 1923, in Arlington, Virginia.

Each of the 14 wardens who oversee the Fraternity’s monuments and memorials quietly cares for the structures that symbolize a person, place or group of people that is significant in the history of the organization.

By Will Steele, WESTERN ILLINOIS 2011

Twenty-second Grand Historian and Order of Constantine Sig Mike Codina, CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1993 , calls being a member of the Monuments and Memorials Commission an unsung role. The appointed wardens on the commission each oversee the care and repair of one of the Fraternity’s 14 monuments and memorials.

“ … People don’t really think about how the monuments and memorials are kept up, but there [are] guys who put in a lot of work to make sure [they] are well-kept and are a good [reflection] of our Fraternity,” Codina says.

Since 1921, the members of the commission have preserved the physical history of Sigma Chi and educated Fraternity members about its significance. The original purpose of the commission was to finance and erect a monument at the gravesite of seventh Grand Consul and Founder Benjamin Piatt Runkle, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, in Arlington, Virginia. The monument was placed on his gravesite in 1923.

The Runkle Monument Commission, as it was originally known, quickly expanded its scope to become the Monuments and Memorials Commission and built memorials to the other

Founders between 1924 and 1933. Members of the commission petitioned alumni to donate the funds necessary to erect the memorials — a practice that continues to fund most of the commission’s projects via Sigma Chi Foundation grants today.

At the time the Founders’ monuments were erected, the commission met such fundraising success that the final bill to the Fraternity for constructing all seven memorials was just $38.89 — the equivalent of $734.17 today.

Since the completion of all seven of the Founders’ monuments, the commission has added an additional eight major monuments, which include the founding site in Oxford, Ohio; the Harry St. John Dixon Memorial in Hamilton, Ohio; and the J. Dwight Peterson International Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. Additionally, the commission provides counsel to chapters and alumni groups looking to establish memorials of import to their local interests.

The commission’s chair warden, Order of Constantine Sig George Hooper, KANSAS STATE 1960, says the mission of the committee is to perpetuate the Fraternity’s heritage, symbolized by Sigma

Chi’s beautiful monuments and memorials. He describes the goals of the commission as preserving the Fraternity’s past, restoring decaying artifacts by doing things such as repairing the McMillin Memorial Mausoleum in Roche Harbor, Washington, and making the various monuments more accessible to brothers and guests.

Upkeep of the monuments and memorials may also include removing lichen from the stone of which they are made, cleaning up litter or vandalism and reporting larger issues to the commission.

“The commission plays a vital role in the preservation of the monuments and memorials and maybe more importantly than that is being a resource and an education for brothers, that when they go there that their experience is made better because they know more about it,” says Codina.

Each warden resides near the structure that he oversees and is recommended for his role by the chair warden and then appointed by the Grand Consul.

“Of course, wardens are volunteers who serve without stipend,” says Hooper.

In addition to overseeing a particular monument or memorial, a warden also shares important information with those who visit the structures. “A lot of times brothers will visit those monuments and they’ll meet the warden who is there,” says Codina. “[The warden] serves as an educator and a resource for anybody who would like to visit.”

One such warden is Don Copeland Jr., STEPHEN F. AUSTIN 1989, who acts as caretaker for the Thomas Cowan Bell Memorial in San Francisco.

“[The memorials for] Founder Bell and Founder Runkle are in national cemeteries and there is very little caretaking for us to do because the Department of Veterans Affairs does that,” says Copeland,.“ … [but] we have a lot of local undergraduate chapters. So, when they come out [to the Thomas Cowan Bell Memorial] I try to meet them, and I encourage them to do a White Rose Ceremony [there] and then I talk a little about Founder Bell and the [other] Founders.”

Copeland, who describes his care of the memorial as a privilege, delights in using the symbolism of the monument to educate pledges and undergraduates about the history and values of Sigma Chi.

Additionally, he strives to promote greater attendance at all of the monuments and memorials.

“It is important because we want to not only encourage participation and research, but we want to keep the history alive — to engage in the history — and we want to bring modern meaning to the lessons that our ancestors left for us and keep the relevancy of Sigma Chi,” he explains.

According to Hooper, the commission has several initiatives planned for the near future. These include the development of an online guest registry for each memorial and efforts to get each one listed on local maps. “We’re [also] drafting guidelines related to seeing if undergraduate chapter visits to a monument can earn them points toward their quest for a Peterson [Significant Chapter] Award,” Hooper says.

WARDENS OF KEY FRATERNITY SITES

Each year, alumni and undergraduates visit Sigma Chi International Fraternity’s monuments and memorials to pay tribute to brothers at their final resting spots, to reflect upon the organization’s founding or to honor the organization’s history. Each monument and memorial has a warden; see his information below for more information about the one he oversees.

CHAPTER UPDATES

Alabama Iota Iota

Our chapter celebrated its 140th anniversary on March 24, 2017. We were proud of our recently initiated brothers as they impressed us with their scholastic and extra-curricular achievements, such as making the President’s list, honor roll and freshman forum leadership program. Our brothers continued our tradition of having leaders in various campus activities, including positions on the Interfraternity Council, where Crockett Hayes is director of philanthropy, and Jordan Levy is a delegate. Both are 2018 graduates. Our brothers are also on the Greek-letter programming board. We looked forward to initiating a new pledge class in fall 2017.

~Levy

Albion Alpha Pi

This past spring semester was extremely productive for our chapter. We initiated eight new members on April 15, putting us at 20 brothers for the fall 2017 semester, which meant we would be allowed to live in the chapter house for the first time in two years. During the summer, we prepared to move into the chapter house. We have 10 potential new members lined up for a fall pledge class. We also continued to improve our image on campus through community service and our involvement in a number of different organizations.

~Matthew Lowes, 2018

American Kappa Rho

As the spring 2017 semester came to a close, our chapter was proud to welcome 11 men into our brotherhood on April 15, and we are excited to see how they leave their mark on this chapter. We are also pleased to have held our most successful Derby Days philanthropic event in our chapter’s history from March 27 to April 2. We raised $31,579 this year, and $109,744 in the last four years, all for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We were also excited for our graduating seniors and what awaits them in post-graduate life.

~Timothy Wheelock, 2019

Arizona Beta Phi

The past spring semester for our chapter has been extremely positive. Recently, the chapter held a successful initiation on April 29, where we initiated 10 new brothers into our Fraternity. We had the second-highest GPA on campus in the Interfraternity Council with a 3.19 for fall 2016, and strive to keep improving this in the future. Our brothers looked forward to a relaxing summer, and getting back to work at the Balfour Leadership

Training Workshop, held from Aug. 3 to 5 at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Epsilon Upsilon

Our chapter has 49 brothers, which includes our spring 2017 pledge class of 11 initiates. Over the course of the spring semester, we completed 1,030 volunteer hours working with organizations such as The Junior League of Phoenix, helping transport large items to and from its rummage sale; and for P.A.W.S., an organization in Mesa, Arizona, that helps abandoned dogs find families. We conducted elections on April 17 for eight executive committee members, including Consul Brody Jones, 2019; Pro Consul Cameron Weaver, 2019 ; and Annotator Mason Lonborg, 2020 . Our goals for the next school year include improving our Ritual performance, alumni relations and increasing volunteer efforts.

~Jones

Arkansas State Theta Chi

Our chapter had a productive 2016 to 2017 school year and expects the same for the fall semester. We raised $20,170 to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute, surpassing last year’s amount by a large margin and putting us in the $20K Club. This past spring semester, we had a good turnout at our chapter’s 30th-anniversary celebration on April 22 at the Hotel Hot Springs in Arkansas, which included an appearance from 2015 to 2017 International Sweetheart Kelsey Maggard. This next semester promises to be successful for our chapter, as we strived to set new goals for ourselves.

~Benjamin Parmer, 2020

Austin Peay Eta Xi

Our chapter was proud to announce that Victor Felts, 1991 , became our first alumnus to be inducted to the Order of Constantine in 2017. Our chapter initiated four new members on April 22, who are eager to get to work. On Easter, our chapter hosted its ninth-annual Easter Egg Hunt for children of faculty, staff and students. Every year, this community outreach event spikes intrigue in our Fraternity throughout campus. Thanks to increasing alumni support and fundraising within the chapter, we hope to break ground on a new house within the next year.

~Robert Brandon, 2020

Ball State Epsilon Omega

This past spring semester welcomed many leadership opportunities for our chapter. During

the spring semester, our former Consul Greg Carbó, 2018 , was elected Student Government Association president at Ball State University, we had three brothers accept the opportunity to attend the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit over the summer and our chapter sweetheart, Kellyn McMullan, was interviewing for the 2017 to 2019 International Sweetheart position. As the semester came to a close, we planned on having two summer executive board meetings, as well as sending a delegate to the 81st Grand Chapter in Providence, Rhode Island, in June.

~John Wade, 2019

Baylor Eta Omega

Our chapter enjoyed great success in its first full semester as a re-chartered chapter. The 27 new members initiated on March 4, 2017, proved to be strong additions to Sigma Chi International Fraternity, with many of them pursuing positions on our executive board. In addition, Caleb White, 2018 — who holds the position of Interfraternity Council president and is a senator in student government — continued to do an excellent job of representing Sigma Chi, working for the advancement of our organization on campus.

~Brady Dunlop, 2020

Beloit Alpha Zeta

The 2016 to 2017 academic year was an exciting one for our brotherhood. We initiated nine members on April 8 and hoped they would contribute to our goal of becoming a model chapter. Our brotherhood has taken a more vested interest in philanthropy and community outreach. We partnered with other Greek-letter organizations in November to bring in speaker Mike Brown to discuss drug and alcohol abuse, along with donating two gift baskets to the Beloit Domestic Violence Survivor Center in Wisconsin. We shattered our previous Derby Days philanthropic event record, raising $2,072, and hosted an alumni golf outing on April 29.

~Alexander Sarantis, 2019

Bentley Lambda Upsilon

Our chapter initiated 17 members on March 25, 2017, representing our largest pledge class in nearly three years. We also held a successful fundraising event. Through the hard work of the chapter, we hosted our third-annual golf tournament in Wayland, Massachusetts, that united brothers with alumni and their families. With more than 80 participants, the chapter raised more than $1,000 and planned to donate portions of it to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. As we anticipated transitioning into fall

The Arkansas State undergraduate chapter celebrated its 30th anniversary in Hot Springs, Arkansas, on April 22, 2017. In attendance were the four advisors the chapter has had since its founding as Sigma Chi Nu, a local fraternity, in 1985. The organization was later installed as a Sigma Chi chapter on Jan. 10, 1987. The advisors are, from left, Clint Relyea, DENVER 1978; Order of Constantine Sig Robert Craig, PITTSBURG STATE 1984; Brad Wimpy, ARKANSAS STATE 1999; and Scott Allman, ARKANSAS STATE 1997. Relyea was the group’s first advisor beginning in 1985 and served until 1990. He returned to Arkansas State in 1999 and served as the chapter’s faculty advisor until 2014. Craig was also a founding advisor of Sigma Chi Nu and served as co-advisor and then advisor from 1985 to 2007. He has attended each of the chapter’s initiations in the last 30 years. Wimpy took over the position in 2007 and held it until April 2017, when Allman — a U.S. Army veteran and longtime Balfour Leadership Training Workshop facilitator — took over those duties. In a time when the average length of chapter advisor tenure is just a few years, these brothers exemplify the lifelong commitment of Sigma Chi, through both good and challenging times. They have all positively influenced the Sigma Chi experience for the 623 brothers of the Arkansas State chapter who have been initiated since 1987.

2017, we hoped to raise more than $5,000 at fourthannual Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Shivang Amin, 2017

Binghamton Mu Gamma

On April 1, 2017, our colony was installed as a chapter. During our initiation and banquet, we were pleased to have the company of many alumni, Sigs from the chapters in our province and many other brothers. We also crowned our first chapter sweetheart, Alyssa Curcio, and honored our Northwestern New York province Grand Praetor John Predmore, KETTERING 1979 , as a 2017 Order of Constantine inductee. In addition, our chapter had a 3.3 GPA for the fall of 2016 and received the Interfraternity Council’s award for the highest GPA. We looked forward to having our first Derby Days philanthropic event from Sept. 24 to 30.

The spring 2017 semester was good for our chapter. We held our annual Founder’s Day golf tournament on April 22, as well as our Derby Days philanthropic event from March 13 to 18. The latter event raised more than $15,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network, Huntsman Cancer Institute and other organizations. We held our annual scholarship dinner on March 18 on campus with parents and alumni to recognize brothers who were excelling in academics. We initiated two pledges on April 22, and brothers were to attend Balfour Leadership Training Workshop from Aug. 3 to 5 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

Boise State Lambda Xi

After initiating seven new brothers on April 1, 2017, our chapter looked to close out the semester stronger than we started it. We hosted our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 10 to 14, raising funds for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We raised less money than we hoped, so we were striving for the best fall semester our chapter has seen. On May 5, we held a barbecue at Ann Morrison Park in Boise, Idaho, to send off our graduating seniors. They have done tremendous things for our chapter, and we are excited to see them accomplish great things in the future.

Our chapter ended its spring 2017 semester on a strong note. Our Derby Days philanthropic event week, from April 17 to 21, was very successful, raising $4,808 to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The fall semester looked to be even better, as our chapter planned to continue its momentum from fall 2016 by recruiting a strong pledge class and initiating them under the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program. Our brothers will also be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the chapter house in the fall.

~Kyle Job, 2019

Brown Beta Nu

This past spring semester was great for our chapter. We looked forward to sending brothers to the 81st Grand Chapter in Providence, Rhode Island, helping to represent the home chapter of 69th Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, 1978 , as he finished up his term in June. Many brothers spent the summer at prestigious internships at Barclays and Goldman Sachs in New York City, and the graduates pursued careers in consulting in New York City and Boston, as well as political careers in Washington, D.C., and California. They also looked forward to continuing their lifelong involvement as Sigma Chi alumni.

Our chapter’s biggest highlight of spring 2017 came on April 13, when we held our annual scholarship cookout. We couldn’t help but be proud of scholarship chairman Noah Caracoglia, 2018 , for organizing the event. The Rho Scholarship Foundation was able to award checks to 33 brothers for academic achievement, and the high point of the day was presenting the Chad Rankin Award for community service to Eric Davidson, 2019 .

The Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program has been a great experience for our chapter, and we continued to tweak our pledge program in order to create a system that enables our future brothers to grow as young men. We continued to work with the fall 2017 pledge class as they are one step closer to joining a lifetime brotherhood through Sigma Chi.

~Matthew Roby, 2018

~Moyer

With great confidence, our chapter can report a record fundraising effort of more than $60,000 dollars. Each of our brothers contributed to put forth such a collaborative effort for the purposes of the Sigma Chi Fraternity to far exceed our goals. As we move forward into the future, the money we raised as a chapter will not be seen as our peak, but as a platform for which we can base our next philanthropic event, raise even more money and finally find a cure for cancer, a disease that has affected so many of our lives.

~Brandon Nordberg, 2019

Georgia Southwestern Eta Theta

This past spring, our chapter hosted its annual formal sweetheart dance in April at Griffin Bell Golf Center in Americus, Georgia. Our chapter was looking forward to the summer.

Looking forward to the fall, we had big shoes to fill after we initiated 23 new members on Nov. 5, 2016 — our largest pledge class in our chapter’s history. We looked forward to having recruitment events during the summer, and our Boston Butt cook, which is a fundraiser for our chapter where we also donate food to the local fire department.

Despite the heartbreaking loss of our brothers, we understand the necessity to return to campus by storm.

Maine Rho Rho

We were happy to report our chapter’s grades improved after having a cumulative 2.5 GPA in the fall of 2016. We are also excited that at the

Paul Parets, 1966, who helped found the Central Michigan undergraduate chapter, speaks to brothers and guests at the Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, Comfort Inn and Suites on April 21, 2017. The address was part of the chapter’s 50th anniversary celebration. Originally organized as Chi Sigma fraternity in 1964, it was installed as a chapter of Sigma Chi on May 21, 1967. Parets signed the chapter’s roll book that day in 1967 as an alumnus and initiate No. 1, but says in all humility that creating the chapter was a team effort and achievement. Now a retired music educator, he gave the analogy of Sigma Chi being a huge wall. “From a distance, the wall looks sturdy and impenetrable. As you get closer, you notice the bricks don’t all match. Some are worn, chipped, faded and cracked,” he says. “The mortar around some of them is in bad shape. Yet, if we were to remove some of them, the wall would weaken and eventually collapse. Sigma Chi was built on a strong foundation with imperfect bricks. Our history and our bond is what keeps us all together.” Chi Sigma was first imagined in 1960 when Parets pledged another fraternity and later withdrew because he says he wanted something more – true brotherhood. After turning in his pledge pin and thanking the group that admitted him, he had discussions with many like-minded friends, primarily from the honors dorm at the time where he resided. The early concept of Chi Sigma was hatched with the expressed intention of assimilating into and becoming a chapter of Sigma Chi.

~T.R. Shaw, CENTRAL MICHIGAN 1982

beginning of the fall semester, our chapter will have full access to the Heritage House, our on-campus chapter house, where we plan to host a number of alumni-centered events.

Miami University in Ohio

CHAPTER NAME: Alpha

PROVINCE: Southern Ohio

After an 11-month recolonization process, Consul Grant Laning, 2018 , and his fellow undergraduates helped bring Sigma Chi International Fraternity back to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where the organization was founded. The chapter was reinstalled into the Fraternity on April 29, 2017. Below, Laning, who also was the former colony’s Magister, answers The Magazine’s questions regarding the reinstallation and his motivation for being involved in the recolonization.

What did it mean to you to be part of the class that helped bring the chapter back to Miami (Ohio)?

Being one of the re-founding fathers of this chapter was one of the greatest honors I’ve gotten to experience in my life ... Getting to walk around campus and see many of the same things that the original Founders did inspired all of us to keep working [toward the reinstallation].

Why did you want to be part of the chapter? What drew me to Sigma Chi was to continue a legacy established by my father and uncles [who are also members of the Fraternity]. I knew that I was looking for a special bond that would last a lifetime and connect me with so many unique individuals that all shared the same values. I now have the honor of calling the 62 men who helped bring back this chapter my brothers, and I know we will make the school, alumni and the grand Fraternity proud.

Do you believe your re-installation was different from the installations or re-installations of other Sigma Chi chapters?

I don’t believe so. The beautiful thing about our Ritual is that it is the same experience for every brother and every chapter. However, I do believe there was heightened pressure having the Grand Officers in attendance. We couldn’t have been more honored to have great chapters like [those at the] University of Cincinnati, Ohio University, and Ohio State working alongside Headquarters staff and alumni to put on an extraordinary installation. They put in countless hours of planning and preparing [for the event]. To match their level of detail, we really [had] our work cut out for us.

What was the highpoint of the re-installation banquet or the days leading up to it?

I would say that the moment we all woke up on the Monday of the week of initiation, we knew that the

INSTALLATION DATE: April 29, 2017

SIGS INITIATED AT INSTALLATION: 62

past year and a half of hard work had [come] down to this. It all became very real and was definitely hard to focus on anything but Sigma Chi. Aside from the ceremonies that week, all 62 of us couldn’t wait to finally walk into our chapter room that had been locked during the entirety of our colonization process [because of the ritualistic atmosphere inside of it]. It really was symbolic of the fact that we had accomplished our goal.

A Grand Event

Voting

delegates considered legislation, elected new

leaders and recognized Sigma Chi award winners and donors at the Fraternity’s biennial convention this past summer.

Staff Report Photos by Jim Cauthen, BOISE STATE 2014

The 81st Grand Chapter, held from June 22 to 24, 2017, in Providence, Rhode Island, marked the second time in the Fraternity’s history that such biennial convention was held in New England. In 1937, Sigma Chis and their guests converged in Boston for the 43rd Grand Chapter.

For 69th Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978 , hosting this past summer’s event near his hometown of South Kingston, Rhode Island, meant he had the opportunity to show off his stomping grounds to the 594 attendees. Each outgoing Grand Consul selects the site of the Grand Chapter where his term will end.

Ursillo was excited to bring guests to Providence and at the welcome reception on June 22, the local history was on display. Attendees listened to the sounds of flutes that women, dressed in floor-length, red skirts and colonial-era shirts with long, puffy sleeves played as they marched into the ballroom where the event was held. The women, and men with whom they marched, were part of the Bristol County Fife and Drum Corp., which plays instruments reminiscent of those used during the Revolutionary War era.

Members of the Newport, Rhode Island, Artillery Co. stand with a bronze canon during the 81st Grand Chapter welcome reception at the Omni Providence Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island, on June 22, 2017. The canon is said to have been one of Paul Revere’s. Behind the canon are women who are part of the Bristol County Fife and Drum Corp.

They stopped near a set of doors where the Newport Artillery Co. sat a large bronze cannon, said to have been one of Paul Revere’s. King George II of Great Britain chartered the artillery company in 1741, and it remains a ceremonial unit, according to its website.

The artillery company and fife and drum corp. were intended to bring the local history alive, and guests dined on regional foods after Ursillo and Grand Chapter Organizing Committee Chairman and Order of Constantine Sig Shawn George, BRIDGEWATER STATE 1988 , welcomed them from the podium to Providence.

The following day, the memorial service for Sigs who had passed away since the 2016 Grand Council kicked off the business sessions for the next couple of days. Following the service, the majority of voting delegates showed their opposition to the three legislative proposals that were presented to the Grand Chapter, failing to pass them.

The first Executive Committee Regulation would have meant that Grand Praetors elected at this Grand Chapter or in the future should reside in, adjacent to, or within about 150 miles of the boundary of the province in which he would serve.

Order of Constantine Sig Jon Greenawalt, PENNSYLVANIA 1961 , who would end his term as East Michigan province Grand Praetor two days later, said that he is moving to New Hampshire, thus ending his role in the Michigan province. “I could not and would not believe that I could do an adequate job living in the state of New Hampshire,” he told those assembled in the business session.

He added that the one exception of a Grand Praetor that he could think of who could effectively perform the role while living more than 150 miles away from the boundary of his province was West Michigan province Grand Praetor and Order of Constantine Sig Chris Nyers, WESTERN MICHIGAN 1989. “The reason, besides being very talented … he can do it is because he travels on business consistently in the state of Michigan. So it’s as if he already lived there.”

Ultimately, 115 voting delegates were in favor of the amendment; 86 were against it. The motion failed because it did not have the necessary threefourths majority to pass.

The next piece of proposed legislation stated that following a Grand Consul’s term and his service on the Executive Committee (EC) as the immediate past Grand Consul, he would be ineligible for service on the EC. While individuals did speak in favor of the legislation, others said it was unnecessary because it would prohibit undergraduates and delegates from the opportunity to elect a past Grand Consul back into the EC after he served his term as immediate past Grand Consul.

The vote to approve the amendment failed by a vote of 71 to 115.

The final proposal would give the Grand Pro Consul the title of Grand Consul-elect, which would signify that at the end of his service as Grand Pro Consul, he would automatically become the Grand Consul, unless he is unavailable to or declines to serve in that role.

“We all come to Grand Chapter every two years really for the excitement of one election, and that is the Grand Pro Consul election,” says 63rd Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Lee Beauchamp, TEXAS A&M-COLLEGE STATION 1975 . “We’ve never had a Grand Pro Consul not succeed the office, but the true brotherly thing, talking about friendship, justice and learning, is [that you don’t take away the role of Grand Consul from a person whose prepared for it for two years as Grand Pro Consul].”

Those opposed to the motion were equally passionate in their opinions. “This is a bad idea,” says 50th Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jack McDuff, ARIZONA 1951 . “This takes away the right of the delegates to this convention to have a second vote on who should be the Grand Consul.”

What McDuff meant was that although a Grand Pro Consul

Order of Constantine Sig Jon Greenawalt, PENNSYLVANIA 1961, states his case on June 23, 2017, at the 81st Grand Chapter against proposed legislation that would require Grand Praetors to live in, adjacent to or within 150 miles of the boundary of the province for which he would serve. The legislative proposal did not pass the Fraternity’s threefourths majority vote requirement; 115 delegates voted in favor of it during the opening business session of Grand Chapter, while 86 delegates voted against it.

is typically elected Grand Consul immediately following the completion of the former role, the Grand Chapter should still be provided the opportunity to vote him into the role of Grand Consul, rather than having him automatically ascend to the position.

After much discussion from voting delegates, the amendment failed 176 to 16.

NEW LEADERS AND HONOREES

Following the legislative business session, attendees went to the inaugural Celebration of Giving Back, during which Sigma Chi donors and volunteers were recognized. The Fraternity presented its awards for alumni volunteers, including the Seven Lights Alumni Award. Sigma Chi leaders unveiled the new Founders Circle, which honors those who are members of the Order of Constantine, the Lockwood Society for lifetime giving and the Caldwell Circle for planned giving. Twenty men were recognized as members of the Founders Circle, including five posthumously.

After lunch, the Grand Chapter elected the following men to the EC for the 2017 to 2019 biennium: Order of Constantine Sig Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985 , 70th Grand Consul; Order of Constantine Sig Steve Schuyler, ARIZONA 1979, Grand Pro Consul; Order of Constantine Sig Tim Sanderson, WESTERN ONTARIO 1985 , Grand Quaestor; Order of Constantine Sig Tom Samulski, BRADLEY 1985 , Grand Trustee representative; Order of Constantine Sig P.J.

Undergraduate representatives Jordan Levy, ALABAMA 2018 ; and Jonathan Sanders, CAL. POLY.-POMONA 2018 ; were elected to be on the EC for one year.

Additionally, voting delegates elected the following ex-officio officers to the EC for the biennium: Grand Historian and Order of Constantine Sig Mike Codina, CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1993; and Grand Tribune and Order of Constantine Sig Mark Quiner, WYOMING 1978

• Brad Wimpy, ARKANSAS STATE 1999

Grand Trustees and Grand Praetors were also elected to serve the Fraternity.

Sixty-ninth Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978, pins the badge of Founder Daniel William Cooper, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, onto the lapel of 70th Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985, during the 81st Grand Chapter banquet at the Omni Providence Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island, on June 24, 2017. The badge, which bears the Greek letters Sigma and Phi, was presented to the Fraternity upon Cooper’s death in 1920 and has since become the symbol of the office of Grand Consul.

Following business sessions that day, Sigma Chis and their guests attended the sweetheart reception where Allisen Hagemeyer of the University of Cincinnati was announced as the Fraternity’s 2017 to 2019 International Sweetheart. Finalists were Kellyn McMullan of Ball State University and Hannah Woodruff of the University of Memphis.

The next morning, business sessions resumed, with reports by Foundation CEO and president Ashley Woods, EAST TENNESSEE 2000, and executive director Mike Church, ILLINOIS 2005 , on the state of the Foundation and the Headquarters operations, respectively. Reports regarding the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program, Sigma Chi U, the Scobey Spirit Initiative and the Huntsman Cancer Institute were also delivered.

In a ceremony over lunch, 15 members were inducted into the 2017 class of the Order of Constantine. The remaining members of the year’s class of Order of Constantine Sigs were honored at local alumni events.

After the closing business session, during which the new Grand Officers were installed and Geddings delivered his acceptance speech as 70th Grand Consul, Sigma Chis and their guests recognized 34 Significant Sigs who were in attendance. Ursillo’s family also unveiled a portrait of him that will hang inside Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois.

After the pomp and circumstance, the night ended with the traditional serenade of guests and sweethearts to The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.

For the third year in a row, undergraduates and alumni gathered at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, for the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW). The event was held from Aug. 3 to 5, 2017; 1,901 members attended it.

Balfour LTW kicked off with its opening session at the Stroh Center arena on Aug. 3, at which Order of Constantine Sig Mike DePuydt, TEXAS A&M-KINGSVILLE 1988 , and chairman of the Team Balfour organizing committee, welcomed attendees. There were seven past Grand Consuls in attendance, as well as the Executive Committee members and other Grand Officers. International Sweetheart Allisen Hagemeyer addressed crowd, and after the session, the undergraduates headed to a cookout and then to division sessions based upon their chapter roles.

The following divisions were represented at Balfour LTW: Consuls, Pro Consuls, Quaestors, Magisters, recruitment chairmen and risk managers, as well as expansion and Ritual. Alumni took part in

colony and chapter advisor training, as well as the house corporation officer training seminar. Two hundred fifty-three alumni were also in attendance to lead sessions as facilitators.

Throughout the event, the seven professionals who attended the workshop as part of the Sigma Chi Foundation’s distinguished visitors program spoke to undergraduates in their leadership sessions to share their knowledge with them. The distinguished visitors included Significant Sig Scott Altman, ILLINOIS 1981 , senior vice president for civil programs at ASRC Research and Technology Solutions. Prior to Altman’s current role, he was an astronaut at the Johnson Space Center in Houston for 15 years. He was the keynote speaker at Balfour LTW’s closing session.

On the night of Aug. 3, Balfour LTW attendees listened to an

address in the Stroh Center by 70th Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985 . Geddings spoke of the regional chapter support program, in which four coordinators from Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters are in place to assist undergraduate chapters and Grand Praetors within specific geographic areas and encouraged those individuals to utilize them.

Geddings also remarked that a new Ritual for Life program is being piloted this fall. The program replaces what some chapters use as post-initiation training and will instruct members on the use of the Ritual in chapter meetings and the meaning of the Fraternity’s symbols and colors and will offer an interpretation of ritualistic ceremonies.

Additionally, Geddings said that Southern Ohio province Grand Praetor Ryan Temby, RUTGERS 1990, is heading a taskforce to work with the Fraternity’s undergraduates, sorority women, college and university officials and representatives from the National Panhellenic Conference to create model programs for the Derby Days philanthropic event. Temby and his team will also create a Derby Days manual to assist chapters in hosting the event on their campuses.

Following Geddings’ speech, Sigs stayed in the Stroh Center for a Ritual exemplification. SigFest, a night of athletic games, was held afterward, but as rain fell, it seemed to draw a fewer number of attendees than expected, with outdoor games being canceled.

Breakout and division sessions continued on Aug. 4, as did alumni training. SigFest was held once again, this time with a larger number of attendees.

Aug. 5 was the final day of Balfour LTW, capped with the closing session, in which Altman spoke to the crowd at the Stroh Center. He told

An Outstanding Honor

When Jeremy Fernandes, CINCINNATI 2017, walked onto his campus four years ago, Greek-letter life was the furthest thing from his mind. Now he can’t imagine his life without it.

“I wasn’t interested in the Greek[-letter] life. I didn’t know much about it,” says Fernandes, the 2017 International Balfour Award (IBA) winner, who adds that Sigma Chi changed his outlook on sorority and fraternity life.

me and use them for the rest of my life,” says Fernandes.

He was also president of the Sigma Sigma honor society and captain of his university’s club soccer team.

Southern Ohio province Grand Praetor Ryan Temby, RUTGERS 1990, who wrote a recommendation letter to the IBA committee on Fernandes’ behalf, says that Fernandes became the “go-to guy” for his chapter. “Jeremy stood out in couple of ways. The first was to kick-off a renaissance at the chapter,” Temby says, explaining that he helped improve relations between it and the university.

Being considered for the IBA provided him the opportunity to think about how Sigma Chi has impacted him. “What’s been great about being up for the award was being recognized for all the work I’ve done while in college,” he says. “It’s a chance to take a step back and realize what Sigma Chi has done for me and what it will do for me in the future.”

The IBA is presented annually to the Fraternity’s most outstanding graduating senior, on the basis of scholastics and chapter and campus involvement. To be eligible for the honor, the candidate must first win his chapter’s Balfour Award, then the respective Province Balfour Award. Fernandes, a business administration major, has been Magister, Consul and recruitment chairman of his chapter.

“Each [chapter] role challenged me in a different way. I had to inspire new members in different ways. I’m going to take these experiences with

“He built bridges with the university officials and he started building bridges with the [interfraternity council] judicial board, where he made sure that chapters were being held accountable.”

Fernandes, who came from humble beginnings in Columbus, Ohio, downplayed his profile as an award winner. “It was a surreal feeling,” he says of being named the IBA winner at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop on Aug. 5. “I was just an average guy who didn’t know what he wanted to do in college. I fell upon Sigma Chi. It has been a huge blessing in my life.”

FA Love of Teaching

orty-eighth Grand Consul Chuck Thatcher, MICHIGAN 1943 , who is a retired professor of chemical engineering, can’t seem to get away from teaching. For years, he has taught undergraduates at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW), either as a facilitator or as a visiting speaker in division sessions.

“I learned some very good teaching techniques from others at workshop,” says Thatcher, an Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig, who began as a facilitator in 1948.

Thatcher received a chemical engineering degree and went into the service. He says he went home on leave in January 1943, when a local instructor asked him to teach his students algebra, science and geometry for a week. “I had a ball,” Thatcher recalls.

He added that it was his time in the military that taught him he wanted a career in education. He explains that he and fellow servicemen were expected to lead a 45-minute class; Thatcher’s task was to educate others on how to tie a knot. He did so well that he was kept behind to instruct others on teaching methods rather than going off to World War II.

After the war, he ultimately became a professor and authored several textbooks.

During his summers, he was a Balfour LTW facilitator, forming an impression on then-undergraduates such as Order of Constantine Sig, Significant Sig and U.S. District Court Judge Steve McNamee, CINCINNATI 1964 . At the 1961 Balfour LTW, McNamee was struck by Thatcher’s time management lecture, in which he told

students to manage small increments of their time and to use it wisely rather than letting it slip by between their college classes. “For some reason, [Thatcher’s message] resonated with me,” McNamee says, adding that what he learned from the man helped him not only as an undergraduate, but as a graduate student and a law student.

McNamee was so impacted by Thatcher that he asked Balfour LTW administrators for the opportunity to introduce Thatcher as he delivered a speech at another workshop. The two began a personal relationship, and today, McNamee passes on the skills to others that Thatcher taught him years ago.

At this year’s Balfour LTW, Thatcher spoke to Magisters, Pro Consuls, recruitment chairmen and those in the Ritual division about Sigma Chi’s virtues and The Jordan Standard. Though it’s been 62 years since Thatcher first stepped into a classroom, he says he is just as comfortable leading it as before. “The fact that they are several generations [apart] doesn’t make a difference,” he says.

the crowd about how, after being turned down once, he joined NASA and became an astronaut. He says that he worked with those of different talents who were working together to achieve a common goal, just as he did when he was an undergraduate within his chapter.

Altman had been a pilot on two space missions before he was mission commander on STS-109 from March 1 to 12, 2002. The intent of the latter mission was to upgrade the Hubble space telescope with a new power unit, camera and solar arrays. He spoke about how he was not only dependent upon the seven people in his crew, but also on the hundreds or thousands of people at Cape Canaveral who prepared for the shuttle launch, those who trained him and his crew and those at Goddard Space Flight who built the necessary instruments for them to make the Hubble upgrades. “It really is a team sport, where you’ve got to work together to succeed in space,” he said.

Altman mentioned former astronaut and Significant Sig John Young, GEORGIA TECH 1952 , who was the ninth person and the first Sigma Chi to walk on the moon, and Altman encouraged those in the crowd to also make history. “Now that challenge is out there to your generation to be the people to take us to Mars, to be the first Sig on Mars, to be that guy who’s in that vehicle going to a planet, standing there looking up at the stars and thinking, ‘Wow. Sigma Chi really can reach for the stars,’” Altman said.

Altman was mission commander on his final space flight from May 11 to 24, 2009, also to service the Hubble telescope, and logged more than 51 days in space before he retired from NASA in September 2010.

Following Altman’s presentation, Order of Constantine Sig Mac McClure, WILLIAM & MARY 1975 , and the recipient of the 2016 William H. Carlisle Jr. Outstanding Faculty Award, presented this year’s award to Cory Rigler, MONTANA 1998 . Rigler addressed the crowd and thanked his fellow volunteers for their support over the years.

Geddings also presented the International Balfour Award (IBA) to Jeremy Fernandes, CINCINNATI 2017, who graduated with a 3.94 GPA and a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Fernandes was Consul, Magister and recruitment chairman of his chapter, as well as president of the Kolodzik Business Scholars program and the Sigma Sigma honor society. Finalists for the IBA were Billy Green, YOUNGSTOWN 2017, and Anthony Karahalios, JOHNS HOPKINS 2017

Following a short acceptance speech by Fernandes, Hudson Valley province Grand Praetor and Order of Constantine Sig Ted Pitt, WESTERN

ONTARIO 1971 , who is also treasurer of the Risk Management Foundation’s board of directors, then presented the Robert E. Joseph Risk Management Foundation Award to the MIT chapter. Geddings presented the Legion of Honor Award to 29 chapters for their scholastic improvement from the prior year and the Daniel William Cooper Award for academic excellence.

The Birmingham-Southern chapter won the Cooper Award and $5,000 to purchase computer equipment, create a scholarship or support the chapter’s participation in leadership programs.

The names of the 10 chapters that won the James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award were announced, as were the six chapters that won the Peterson Significant Chapter Gold Award for scoring 97 percent or higher on their annual report and the 83 chapters that took home a Peterson Significant Chapter Blue Award for scoring 90 percent to 96.99 percent.

The chapter with the highest Peterson score was the South Alabama chapter, with a 98.9 percent.

Following the ceremony, attendees posed for photos with their awards, closing out the 2017 Balfour LTW.

THE SIG LIST

Things to know, notice and tell a brother

Alumni chapters were originally named after the letters of the Greek alphabet, but in irregular order. The chapters no longer have Greek-letter names. The first reference to alumni chapters was in the Catalogue and History of 1890, which contained a roll of eight of them, according to the 1969 Norman Shield.

The practice of designating and honoring three finalists for the International Balfour Award (IBA) began in 1969. This marked the first major revision to the selection of the IBA winner since the honor was created in 1929, according to History of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, 1955 to 1980

The Georgia Southern University chapter raised a Fraternity record $75,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) during the 2016 to 2017 academic year, according to HCI’s derbychallenge.org. The chapter set a goal at the recent Balfour Leadership Training Workshop of raising $100,000 during the current academic year.

The Fraternity’s undergraduate chapter at the University of Illinois claims 24 alumni who are Order of Constantine Sigs. This figure is the most of any Fraternity chapter.

New Orleans Saints quarterback and Significant Sig Drew Brees, PURDUE 2001 , could achieve a key milestone this year, in his 17th season in the NFL: According to the NFL’s milestone tracker, he is on track join Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks in the league’s history with 70,000 career passing yards.
