Letter From the Grand Consul

Brothers and Friends,

This Magazine issue is about volunteerism and I was asked to write about my own motivation and experience in volunteering for Sigma Chi. I believe it can best be summed up as saying it is selfish motivation. Sometimes, being selfish is not bad. In this instance, it means that the feeling I receive when I find out that I had an impact upon someone’s life creates such a joy and a feeling of accomplishment that it is an impetus for me to want to give and do more.

I have been fortunate to have had other volunteers come alongside me at just the right point in my life when I needed support. I know how their sacrifice has helped me. I am so thankful for the times I have been there to help others because in some ways I feel that I am returning the favor and in other ways I am satisfied knowing that I was blessed to help another person.

For instance, while I was South Carolina province Grand Praetor from 1995 to 2005, I remember being awakened one night at about 3 a.m. by the telephone. An undergraduate brother was on the other end and he had just managed to lose a lot of money at an online casino. He now had no money for tuition and was terrified of what his parents were going to say. He felt his world was ending and there was no hope because he had made, in his words, such a stupid mistake. I mainly listened. I offered reassurance and reminded him that we all make stupid mistakes, but the real key to our character is how we react after those mistakes. We talked for a while and over the next several days I fielded more calls and met with him and he made it through the problem.

On the one hand, I did very little, but the fact that I was there to listen was enough. I would not have been there, and he would not have felt comfortable contacting me, if I had not been volunteering at the time. He claims I saved his life and career and while I do not think it was that much, the point remains that he needed someone and I was able to help him. The feeling of seeing someone be able to face their challenges because they knew that I was with them or behind them was wonderful.

Another example of where I impacted someone would be when I led a membership review, in which men would be interviewed and if they were found not worthy of membership, would be moved to alumni status, or worse, they could have been expelled. One of the undergraduates seeking to be returned to active status with the Fraternity showed up for his interview very high. One of the reviewers was an emergency room physician and said he had rarely seen anyone that high able to walk around. We did not return the undergraduate to active status.

A couple of years later, I got word about that man. He was telling others that it was our refusal to return him to active status that made him realize he was being self-destructive. He sought professional help for his addiction and turned his life around. He was able to begin to fulfill his potential. He was so thankful that we, as brothers, told him “no” to returning to active status. As distasteful as a membership review can be, I have seen similar stories repeat themselves. This type of thing that helps me, and other reviewers, continue to go into the bad situations with the determination to be brotherly and fair to the undergraduates in question.

So, to sum it up, to me volunteerism is about being selfish. It’s about wanting that feeling that can only come from helping someone else. One of the best ways to help is to be in the right place at the right time and that means volunteering and showing up. If you are there, the person who needs your help will come to you, but if you do not volunteer, that person will never find you.

Expect more,

VISION

To be the preeminent collegiate leadership development organization — aligned, focused and living our core values.

MISSION

To develop values-based leaders committed to the betterment of character, campus and community.

Dear Readers,

Working with Sigma Chi volunteers has taught me how to be a volunteer for my own organization, Sigma Kappa Sorority. Not long after I started my job at the Fraternity about 10 years ago, I joined the sorority’s Chicago alumnae chapter and quickly took on a leadership role. Eventually, I became a national volunteer and now assist alumnae chapters with their public relations. While I’ve learned a lot from the women within my organization, it was first through Sigma Chis that I saw what it means to be a volunteer.

The men I interacted with while writing Magazine of Sigma Chi stories and working at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop showed me what it is like to give selflessly of one’s time and talents to help others grow. These volunteers benefited greatly from their time spent together, advancing the Fraternity. Seeing this made me miss my sorority, so I became involved on a local level. I wanted to create new bonds with others within my organization, just as the men do when they volunteer.

While my initial desire to become a volunteer may have been selfish, it has helped me become selfless. I see how my time assisting others in my sorority benefits them, and it encourages me to give more of my time. I want to advance sorority and Greek-letter life in general, so that undergraduates may be able to experience the same type of personal growth that I have had through my affiliation with Sigma Kappa. I hear Sigma Chi volunteers speaking of the same type of motivation to give back to the Fraternity. What they don’t realize is that they have inspired me to help advance my own organization, and for that I am grateful.

I hope you enjoy reading about volunteerism in this issue.

Sincerely,

Susan Lorimor EDITOR

Airline Pilot Prepares for a #Flagfriday Takeoff

Before takeoff, airline pilots check off a list to make sure they know everything critical for their flight. For his flight on May 12, 2018, pilot and North Atlantic province Grand Praetor Chris Nevins, EMBRY-RIDDLE (DAYTONA BEACH) 1996 , noticed something that cuased him to raise a flag.

Nevins saw what he believed was the familiar name of his chapter brother and copilot, Bryan Stevens, 2003 , who was scheduled to pilot the flight with him from Orlando, Florida, to New York City. Nevins confirmed that Stevens was, in fact, a Sigma Chi, and surprised Stevens by showing him the Sigma Chi flag on his flight. Knowing they are both brothers, they took a photo together, at right, submitted it to Headquarters and were named the Flag Friday winner for May 25, 2018.

It was posted to the Fraternity’s social media accounts, receiving 1,489 likes on Instagram, five retweets and 43 likes on Twitter, and two shares and 654 likes on Facebook as of Aug. 3.

Nevins commented about the inspiration behind the picture: “I was kind of looking at it as an affirmation of the lifelong commitment [to Sigma Chi we share], because, you know, as somebody who graduated over 20 years ago and still being involved, I think it shows what kind of organization that we belong to.”

Nevins says this was not the first time he has brought the flag on a trip. “It’s been to Europe and Africa and all over the domestic U.S.”

Moved by His Employee’s Dedication to Get to Work, Sig Gifts the Man a Car

Starting a new job typically has its challenges, but for 20-year-old Homewood, Alabama, resident Walter Carr, getting to work should be a little easier than it was on his first day, thanks to the CEO of Bellhops Moving company, Luke Marklin, PURDUE 2007, who gifted him with a car.

According to Marklin, on Friday, July 13, 2018 — the night before Carr was going to start his new job at Bellhops — his 2003 Nissan Altima broke down, requiring him to significantly alter his travel plans in order to get to work on time. Carr was determined to make a good impression on the first day and beat the rest of his team to the job, so he began his 20-mile walk to work in the middle of the night. Ultimately, Marklin heard of Carr’s walk and presented him a vehicle.

The story of how Marklin helped his new employee was shared on the Fraternity’s Facebook page on July 19, 2018, receiving 446 likes, nine comments and 14 shares as of Aug. 3.

Marklin says, “[Carr] made most of the journey and walked over 12 miles until he was picked up by police officers near the area, and once they heard the story, they very rightfully gave him some breakfast and ultimately got him to the [job site at the home of Jenny Hayden Lamey].”

Marklin says that Lamey was blown away by what the officers told her about how Carr got to work, so she wrote a Facebook post about it, which is how Marklin learned of Carr’s efforts. “ … after that it got to us and we were just stunned,” Marklin says.

However, it was not until after he read the full story in the local newspaper that he took action.

“Right after we read the [story], my team and I got on the phone, and we quickly talked about what he did and unanimously agreed that [Carr’s] action really defines our culture and we had to do something and it was a pretty quick decision [to do so],” says Marklin. “Walter had everything he needed to be a great Bellhop, except reliable transportation, and so we decided we needed to get him a car — we needed to fix that.”

Marklin gifted Carr his Ford Escape, saying that he was not utilizing it as well as Carr would. The story of Carr’s determination and Marklin’s generosity gained international attention, and Marklin says he received feedback from all over the world.

“I think hearing Walter’s story was a lot of encouragement for a lot of people in whatever adversity they’re facing and it really resonated, so I wasn’t surprised,” he says.

For Marklin, the inspiration to help came from the values he learned in the Fraternity.

“Sigma Chi instills [within] you a set of values that stick with you for the rest of your life, and this decision I felt was very aligned with those values and really was kind of a no-brainer,” he says. “Because of that and while I happened to be in the position to help, my guess is that a lot of other Sigma Chis, if they were in my shoes, would have done the same exact thing.”

Building Inclusion

An alumnus is so inspired by his neighbors’ desire to build accessible playgrounds for children that he becomes a key part of their nonprofit organization, rising up the volunteer ranks.

By Susan Lorimor

About 17 years ago, Kurt Marsden, CAL. STATE-NORTHRIDGE 1992 , and his wife, Debie, became involved with Shane’s Inspiration, a Los-Angeles based nonprofit organization that builds accessible playgrounds for children with disabilities while offering educational programs that help their peers gain an understanding of what it is like to have a disability. Marsden and his family took part in the organization’s 5K/10K Walk and Run fundraiser, and he eventually became chairman of the board of Shane’s Inspiration. Here, he explains the impact that volunteering for an organization that has built 65 inclusive playgrounds around the world has had on his life.

Why did you become involved with Shane’s Inspiration?

My parents and specifically my father, Jack Marsden, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1957, were very generous and charitable people who taught me the importance of charity and giving back. When my two children were very young, my wife, Debie, and I were seeking opportunities to instill those same values within our children and we discovered Shane’s Inspiration. Shane’s Inspiration was created in memory of Shane Alexander Williams, who was born with spinal muscular atrophy and passed away two weeks after his birth. Through their profound grief, his parents, Catherine Curry-Williams and Scott Williams, began searching for a way to honor their son’s life. They soon realized that Shane’s

disability would have prevented him from playing on a playground with other children. So a year later, Catherine, Scott and [their] close friend Tiffany Harris worked with friends, family and community leaders to build the very first universally accessible playground [for children with mobility and other challenges] in California.

In 2000, they cut the ribbon on Shane’s Inspiration Playground in [Los Angeles’] Griffith Park, beginning a wave of inclusive play that would change Los Angeles forever

A few short years later, the Williamses had a daughter and we met the Williams [family] and learned about Shane’s Inspiration when our daughters attended the same preschool Shane’s Inspiration has hosted a wonderful 5K/10K Walk and Roll that is designed for participants of all ages and abilities We decided that the walk presented a great opportunity for our family to get involved and we hoped that by providing our children with an opportunity to interact with children with disabilities [the experience] would open their minds to thinking more broadly about disabilities. [We believed that] perhaps they would be betterequipped to see … beyond those disabilities and see the person underneath.

Why have you remained a longtime volunteer with Shane’s Inspiration?

Shane’s Inspiration has become a part of my family’s story as we have collectively been involved with this organization for over 15 years. In the

Character-in-Action

beginning, I was just a [participant] at the Walk and Roll and my wife would volunteer to help [the organization] with certain events. As the years passed, I always stayed highly involved in the Walk and Roll, but the folks at Shane’s asked me to engage in other areas. I first joined the corporate advisory board, which met a few times a year with a focus on generating corporate sponsorship. During that time, I was able to secure the financial support of my employer for the annual Walk and Roll and that support continues to this day. In 2013, I joined the board of directors, which was a new experience for me since I had not previously sat of the board of a charitable organization. My involvement continued to progress with me becoming the vice president and eventually the president of the board in 2017. My longevity is probably attributed to the fact that Shane’s has challenged me in new and interesting ways, and I really believe that I am helping to make a positive difference.

What has been your most meaningful experience with Shane’s Inspiration?

My most impactful moment was when I participated in Shane’s “Together, We Are Able” program. Shane’s works to build common ground by breaking down the barriers of bias toward children with disabilities through education. Shane’s Inspiration’s unique social inclusion program, “Together, We Are Able,” promotes integration and understanding among students, teachers and parents. The program first educates the children

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.

in the classroom through critical thinking, creative writing and awareness exercises. Following the in-class component, the children are then paired with their peers with disabilities for a day of play at an inclusive playground. Follow-up visits to the schools confirm the profound and lasting impact of the program as children gain new awareness and acceptance of one another. By participating in this program, I was able to see this firsthand and witness how the attitudes of the children evolved as a result of this program. These children were initially uneasy or frightened [to play with those with special needs] and their emotions evolved into understanding.

What are your future goals for the organization?

Our vision is to foster a bias-free world for children with disabilities. Our mission is to create inclusive playgrounds and educational programs that unite children of all abilities. We have much to celebrate, but we still have plenty of work to do in that regard. We have made some real progress, especially in southern California, but we are constantly focused on broadening our reach. For example, we are currently working with several organizations to build an inclusive playground in New York City, [which is one of 75 in the works around the world]. We also want to broaden the reach of our education programs. Finally, Shane’s has evolved from its grassroots origin into a mature organization and we, as a board, are focused on making certain it is a sustainable organization for many years to come.

William Morrow; May 15, 2018

Baier explores the end of America’s struggle with the former Soviet Union during the Cold War and the role former President Ronald Reagan played in shaping the world we live in today. Particularly, he uses the events surrounding Reagan’s meetings with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and his May 31, 1988, address at Moscow State University in which he addressed issues of human rights as a lens through which to examine the president’s role in orchestrating the war’s peaceful end.

By Steve Wilson, AUSTIN PEAY 1997

ISBN: 978-1987402476

CreateSpace Independent Publishing; May 4, 2018

According to Wilson, digital design isn’t just pushing pixels around a computer screen.

He provides tips, tricks and rules for inexperienced designers, regardless of whether their interests are in the sports industry.

We will be hosting this year’s Homecoming festivities on Oct. 27 at Youngstown State University and are planning for a turnout that will be larger than we have had in past years.

FRATERNITY ADVANCING THE

In this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi, we focus on the 7,013 alumni and undergraduate volunteers who advance the Fraternity, whether as a chapter officer, house corporation member, leadership program facilitator or a Grand Officer, to name a few. Simply put, Sigma Chi could not operate without these men. One of those individuals who puts his heart and soul into the organization is Order of Constantine Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982.

As a retiree, volunteering for Sigma Chi and travelling the world have become Galbo’s pastimes. He began serving in leadership roles with his chapter when he was an undergraduate, ultimately serving as Consul. After he graduated, he quickly became involved as an academic advisor for the chapter as he studied for his master’s degree in toxicology. His involvement with the organization only grew and has continued over the years‚ seemingly only punctuated by trips to refresh himself and visit other cultures.

In this issue we also higlight the service of 68 th Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 . Greenberg has also had a long history of involvement with Sigma Chi. He is behind the Fraternity’s major initiatives such as the Jordan Initiative anti-hazing program and the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program, both of which have been important to Galbo. Greenberg has also become involved with the greater Greek-letter world, as noted in the feature story that follows.

As we explore the volunteerism of Galbo, Greenberg and others in this issue, we include information on how readers can get involved should they be inspired to do so.

A seasoned volunteer committed himself to giving back to Sigma Chi when he was in his 20s and more than 36 years later, he hasn’t looked back.

During busy times for the programs with which he is involved, Galbo often gives 30 to 40 hours per week to the Fraternity.

Order of Constantine Sig Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982 , always has a plan.

When he stepped down from his role as Northern California province Grand Praetor in 2007, the province was split into the California Central Valley and California Bay Area provinces, and he advised those who took over for him — Jeff Twibell, CALIFORNIA-DAVIS 1999, and Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Paul Cole, CALIFORNIA-SANTA BARBARA 1971 — to stay in the role for no more than eight years, or two generations of undergraduates.

Galbo told himself he would be chapter advisor for no more than five years of the Santa Clara and California-Merced chapters that he helped found in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

And at times it seems he had someone in mind as his replacement, quietly nurturing that person to eventually take over. “He thinks so long-term,” Twibell says.

There have been times over Galbo’s more than 36 years of volunteering for Sigma Chi that he did not anticipate being asked to take over a certain role, but often his mentors or other trusted leaders seemed to have been planning for him to take it.

He began his service to the organization in 1982, as academic advisor to his chapter and ex-officio house corporation member, ultimately being asked to take over as chapter advisor for his mentor, Order of Constantine Sig Keith Sprenkel, SAN JOSE STATE 1977 From there, he became Grand Praetor, then answered the call from 64th Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Keith Krach, PURDUE 1979, to head the 2007 Grand Chapter organizing committee and next helped found the California-Merced and California-Davis chapters.

Prior to the 2013 installation of Order of Constantine Sig and now Significant Sig

Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 , as 68th Grand Consul, Greenberg asked Galbo to serve on the Jordan Initiative, the organization’s anti-hazing program, and then that led to his role creating the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program and then the Ritual for Life post-initiation training program. Sixty-ninth Grand Consul and Order of Constantine Sig Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978 , appointed him to the Education and Leadership Board (ELB) in 2015, and of course, through it all, Galbo has continued to serve in other roles, such as a facilitator at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop.

“I had such a great experience as an undergraduate, beginning with my [time with] my Magister [Mark Cote, 1980],” Galbo says of his mentors. “[Volunteering] was their way of giving back and it became my way of giving back.”

Galbo paused and then continued, “It was what I promised to do,” referring to the oath he took during initiation. “We are bound by a double obligation.”

A CONSTANT PRESENCE

Galbo’s sense of duty to his chapter was evidenced when he was its Consul. He and Sprenkel spoke on a weekly basis, as Galbo explained what had happened during the week and the setbacks that he faced. Sprenkel listened as Galbo told him how he was going to respond to them. Sprenkel then confirmed whether the undergraduate’s plan was good or needed to be tweaked. This is what a good mentor does, Galbo says.

Galbo went on to become academic advisor and an ex-officio house corporation member for his chapter, serving in those roles as he studied for his master’s degree in toxicology. He also was administrator of a house corporation scholarship. After five years, Sprenkel stepped down as chapter

advisor and recommended Galbo to take over the role. Galbo accepted the job.

“This was during the 80s,” Galbo says. “In 1987, recruitment wasn’t the best. It was quite a party chapter and the leadership [had room for improvement]. I had to have difficult conversations with the Consul.”

Galbo explained that there were issues with alcohol and academics that stemmed from recruitment, and priorities needed to change to improve the chapter. The chapter ultimately did turn around, and some of its members, as well as Galbo’s chapter brothers, pass on the lessons that Galbo taught them to their children and grandchildren.

“They repeat some of my mantras,” Galbo says with a smile.

Some of those mantras are: Think before you speak; act instead of react; and there’s a time and a place for everything.

Galbo says that as he progressed as a volunteer, his lessons became more about stressing moderation. “Jeff Twibell, I was his Grand Praetor, and he remembers the ‘Moderation, moderation, moderation’ [mantra],” Galbo says. “He brings this up.”

Twibell says he met Galbo when he first got to college. “I remember how calm and approachable [of] a person he was,” Twibell says.

Twibell ultimately was elected Consul and says that Galbo understood how lonely the role can be, and that he needed support. Galbo became a constant in Twibell’s life. “He was always available,” Twibell says, adding that he appreciated Galbo’s ability to mentor and not be critical of his decisions.

“He was able to ask questions and guide a person to the answer,” Twibell explains.

After graduation, Twibell began his career and continued his volunteerism. “I was never going to fall away,” he says. “I was going to be a constant.”

Twibell says he was determined to remain committed to the Fraternity because of how Galbo was always there for him. “He set me on the path to thinking of the other[s],” Twibell says of how Galbo helped him become less focused on himself.

AN IMPORTANT OUTLET

After 15 years as Grand Praetor, Galbo knew it was time to step down from the job. “You can’t stay in a role without creating a gap,” Galbo says, adding that one would become insulated in their role if they stayed too long.

Galbo selected Twibell and Cole to take over his role as the province was split in two. Twibell says he believes Galbo had him in mind for the job long before Galbo stepped down.

Galbo had Twibell help with the chapter at the University of the Pacific, which was founded in 2003, and Twibell believes that Galbo did so in an attempt to allow him to acquire skills that would be necessary as a Grand Praetor. “He finds little moments like that to give you confidence,” Twibell says. “He saw the depth at which I worked with [the] Pacific and Merced [chapters]. I followed through on the work. Maybe he saw that I was a constant.”

After Galbo stepped down as Grand Praetor, he began to organize the 2007 Grand Chapter, helped

found the Santa Clara chapter and eventually became involved with the International Fraternity’s leadership programs.

“I retired at the end of 2014, which is funny because that’s when I became involved with the ELB,” Galbo says. “Retiring when I did, I just increased the level of participation [in Fraternity roles].”

It is common for Galbo to work 30 to 40 hours per week on Fraternity initiatives when there are deadlines to meet or new curriculum to create and review; that is when he is often found at International Headquarters, either in boardroom meetings or at a makeshift desk on his laptop.

Galbo’s efforts, as well as those of Holcomb, Cogdal and curriculum developer Elaine Palladino, CEO of Footprints Consulting, led to the creation of the P4B pledge program. For their work, they recently earned a Laurel Wreath Award from the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC). The award honors NIC-member fraternities for their innovative programs.

While Galbo was proud of the work, he is normally content to stay in the background, something that Twibell knows all too well. “He does not care about the kudos,” Twibell says. “His greatest gift is he believes in the ‘us’ versus the ‘me.’ … That benefits the brotherhood.”

“He does not care about the kudos,” Twibell says. “His greatest gift is he believes in the ‘us’ versus the ‘me.’ … That benefits the brotherhood.”

Galbo says he began volunteering as a social outlet — it was his way of forming relationships. Forging those relationships coincided with his plan to fulfill his lifetime obligation to Sigma Chi, which has taught him an important lesson: “The bonds of brotherhood are everlasting,” he says of what he has learned the most, adding that he may see other volunteers once a year, but they remain close.

Galbo Honored for Program Work

During the Aug. 2, 2018, opening session of the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop in Bowling Green, Ohio, Order of Constantine Sigs Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982 , and Jim Holcomb, CAL. STATESACRAMENTO 1994 , as well as the Fraternity’s senior director of membership development Jim Cogdal, BRADLEY 2003 , accepted the Laurel Wreath Award from the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) for their work on the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program.

“It was a huge, huge honor,” says Galbo, smiling as he recalls how he, Holcomb and Cogdal were called onto the stage by the Fraternity’s executive director Mike Church, ILLINOIS 2005 , and the president and CEO of the NIC, Jud Horras, said that P4B was the most outstanding pledge program of the 66 fraternities that the NIC represents.

P4B launched Fraternity-wide in fall 2016 and features online education through Sigma Chi U, as well as in-person learning. The blended educational approach offers online videos, experiential activities and readings to reach undergraduates in a variety of manners. Galbo, Holcomb and Cogdal were instrumental in the development of P4B. Elaine Palladino, CEO of Footprints Consulting, wrote the curriculum for the program.

According to the NIC, the award is presented to individuals or groups to recognize their unique programs, community outreach or influence within the fraternal world. This year, Sigma Chi was one of six Laurel Wreath recipients.

Order of Constantine Sig Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982 , holds a Laurel Wreath Award from the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) in the boardroom of Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters on Aug. 22, 2018. The NIC presented the award to Sigma Chi in recognition of the work of Galbo and others to create the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program.

Years after Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 , completed his term as 68th Grand Consul, he continues to reinvigorate himself by becoming involved in Fraternity initiatives.

By Ryan Rogers, WINDSOR 2005

Dare. Dream. Do: This is Mike Greenberg’s mantra.

“Every day I wake up and try to figure out what I can do that’s extraordinary or different or will bring excitement or maybe look at something old and how we can refresh it,” he says of his personal and professional life.

Then, he dares to take bold and purposeful risks that take down barriers or set a new course. Next, he goes out and does the work, building teams and bringing on resources to execute his plan. This is how he says he works to make things better for his family, his employees and Sigma Chi.

Sixty-eighth Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 , is well-known for his more than 30 years of volunteerism with Sigma Chi. Three years after his term as Grand Consul ended, he is chairman of the Education and Leadership Board and several Fraternity committees, is on the Governing Council of the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) and the Sigma Chi Foundation’s board of governors and is a Ritual Peer.

“This guy flies all over the place, schedules meetings … I don’t think he’s ever put in an expense sheet to the Fraternity for his hotels or flights. He’s been extremely generous with his pocketbook as well as his heart and soul,” says 69th Grand Consul and Order of Constantine Sig Mike Ursillo,

SUSTAINED VOLUNTEERISM

BROWN 1978 , adding that Greenberg also has a family and finds time to run his company, Interior Investments of Lincolnshire, Illinois.

Greenberg’s fingerprints are also found on the early Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit curriculum, and he was instrumental in creating the Mission 365 recruitment training workshop. Even the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop’s most recent chapter-centric configuration began with his ambition. Greenberg has also volunteered to develop the Jordan Initiative anti-hazing program, the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program and the Ritual for Life post-initiation training program. He has served as chairman of the Chapter and Member Accountability Committee (CAMAC), a Grand Praetor, Grand Quaestor and Grand Pro Consul.

“My God, he’s been involved with a lot of stuff,” says Ursillo. “Plus, he has been directly responsible for convincing the Foundation that these various programs he’s established, [such as] Sigma Chi U, P4B [and] Ritual for Life are deserving of the support and resources from the Foundation.”

IMPASSIONED CREATION

When Greenberg gets on a roll, he’s a whirlwind of energy, and can move a million miles an hour, according to those who have worked with him.

“Oh my God, you can’t get him off the topic,” says Ursillo. “He expresses very effusively, uses his hands a lot, [has] a lot of facial expressions, and when he’s excited about a program, you can’t change his mind.”

What makes the greatest impact, though, is how and where Greenberg applies that energy.

“The neat thing about Mike, he’s willing to take risks, and 90 percent of the time, the program works,” Ursillo says. “About 10 percent they don’t, but that doesn’t concern him because he’s taking the road less traveled. He’s not afraid to try something different.”

When Greenberg is focusing on a project, the time he commits to meetings and workshops is just the tip of the iceberg. Preparing to change curriculums,

minds and the Fraternity’s future requires a lot of homework, too.

“He has a brilliant memory, almost a photographic memory,” says Ursillo. “He doesn’t forget things, and when he’s pitching a program, without notes, he knows what the program is — [its] benefits, outcomes … he has all that in his head.”

When launching the P4B concept in 2015, Ursillo recalls hostile resistance from members about changing to a universal pledge program. Chapters wanted to preserve the local traditions within their pledge programs.

“The Magister division at [Balfour Leadership Training Workshop], they tried to tear his head off,” recalls Ursillo. “By the time he was finished with them, he’d convinced the Magister division that he was going to ensure the future for Sigma Chi.”

The P4B success story illustrates the commitment Greenberg delivers to a program, from start to finish. He had the vision, won over members’

hearts and minds, supported a Fraternity team to create the program and lobbied the Foundation for financial support to build it.

Order of Constantine Sig Jim Holcomb, CAL. STATE-SACRAMENTO 1994 , has worked with Greenberg on the Jordan Initiative and P4B. Holcomb attributes the impact Greenberg has made on the Fraternity to his strong leadership.

“Greenberg, man, has re-envisioned and reenergized the role of Grand Consul,” says Holcomb. “Mike had so many initiatives — the Jordan Initiative, the leadership continuum … I think the key to that is putting the right people in the right place to carry out that vision.”

As chairman of the ELB, Greenberg oversees the alignment of P4B, Ritual for Life and other programs into the leadership continuum, which is being designed to someday allow Sigma Chi U students to obtain a degree by taking courses recognized by universities.

Above: Sixty-eighth Grand Consul Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 , laughs on Aug. 1 during rehearsal for the opening session of the 2013 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.

The goal for the leadership continuum is to offer research-based curriculum to give Sigma Chis the skills to have crucial conversations and engage in strategic visioning and conflict resolution management, while also building high-performing teams.

“If we can put that together for our Fraternity, and offer that to all Sigma Chis, whether undergraduate or alumni, we will have created a revolution of what fraternity could stand for and shift the paradigm, [so] that we now become the leaders not just [in] the fraternal world, but [also] the campuses and communities we thrive in,” Greenberg says.

As he shows no signs of slowing down in terms of his level of involvement with Sigma, that activity continues to feed his enthusiasm and drive to keep going.

“Every day I wake up and try to figure out what I can do that’s extraordinary or different or will bring excitement or maybe look at something old and how we can refresh it,” Greenberg says of his personal and professional life.

“What I get back by giving back to people is a sense of satisfaction — a sense of that I’m hopefully leaving the relationship or the process or the program in a better place, and for that I learn and grow,” he says, adding that he has gained a war chest of life experiences from his Sigma Chi mentors. “There’s this thirst and desire to pay it back, but I also like to think of it as a thirst and desire to get more. So, you’re trying to get more, and you’re giving more — it’s a never-ending cycle.”

Fraternity Volunteers’ Qualifications and Commitments

A volunteer’s willingness to dedicate his time, experience, and in many cases professional expertise, drives the success of many of the Fraternity’s programs. Each volunteer role has its own set of necessary skills, qualifications and time commitments. Below is a list of some of the opportunities for those who would like to give back to the organization.

SERVING SIGMA CHI

The number of men who give back to the Fraternity in volunteer roles is many. In the 2017 to 2018 year, more than 7,000 Sigs have given their time and talents to benefit the Fraternity in roles as chapter officers, Grand Praetors, chapter advisors and Balfour Leadership Training Workshop faculty members, among other roles. Some of them have remained active with the organization since their undergraduate days, while others have reconnected with it years after graduation. All of them have volunteered because they feel compelled to pay back the guidance they’ve received from Sigs who have affected them. Here are the stories of four Sigs who have answered the call to serve as Fraternity volunteers.

For the Love of the Fraternity

Ryan Temby, RUTGERS 1990 , says he became Southern Ohio province Grand Praetor in 2013 because the job needed to be done. He had already spent time as Rutgers’ house corporation president, and as a facilitator for the Journey chapter retreat program and the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. Now, he also serves as Grand Praetor representative on the Executive Committee. For Temby’s work as Grand Praetor, the International Fraternity honored him in 2017 with the Edwin C. Fisher Grand Praetor Award. Temby, shown here facilitating a discussion about the Fraternity’s Jordan Initiative anti-hazing program at the 2014 Grand Council in Skokie, Illinois, discusses his role as a volunteer.

What has kept you engaged with the organization as a volunteer?

Well … the truth of the matter is, it is my favorite hobby. For so many reasons: [the] friends [I have] at all levels [of the Fraternity]; stuff still needs to be done; I still learn stuff every day; and at Rutgers, we accomplished great things, with great men and I learned what it was like to be part of a great team. To witness firsthand what it felt like to be part of something great, to feel accomplishment at a level which caused me to pause and watch it swirl all around me ... that feeling is infectious. … [and it] drives my continued involvement in Sigma Chi and it drives my passion for Sigma Chi.

What is the most important thing that you try to impart upon undergraduates with whom you work?

People are people, not objects. Try every moment to give the benefit of the doubt to folks, don’t judge them

and accept that they are not perfect. I stress the friendship part of our Fraternity with the undergraduates.

When do you know that you’ve made a difference in your role with the undergraduates or on the Executive Committee [EC]?

With the undergraduates, it is easier – when they simply smile and say “Thank you,” I know I have reached them and made a difference. The role of chapter advisor is very rewarding, [with] nearly instant gratification.

[Conversely,] making a difference on the [EC] means that we enacted a policy that enriched the lives of every Sigma Chi, undergraduate and alumnus. Knowing we have made a difference on the EC comes from [the following]: Successfully representing the Grand Praetor and undergraduate perspective; and receiving feedback on some piece of policy we have enacted or watching the upward statistical trends. Not nearly the same feeling as a chapter advisor, but just as rewarding.

A Commitment to Building Values-Based Leaders

Team Balfour member and Pro Consul division leader Ryan Wakefield, MONTANA 2000 , answers a question on Aug. 2 during a Pro Consul officer core session at the 2018 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW) at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. Wakefield joined Balfour LTW faculty in 2007 as a facilitator in the program’s emerging leaders division, and has continued volunteering at the workshop since that time. Below, he answers The Magazine’s questions about how he became an International Fraternity volunteer, the lessons he’s learned during his more than 10 years of service and how he’s applied those lessons to his life.

How did you become involved as a volunteer?

Where I live in northwest Montana, the closest undergraduate chapter is two hours away. … However, I always wanted to give back and learned early that I needed to create my own opportunities. I had two chaptermates, Jeff Burchett and Ben Fjosne [, both 2001 ,] who had previously worked at Headquarters and encouraged me to become involved with Balfour [LTW]. … This opportunity was exactly what I was looking for.

What keeps you coming back to Balfour LTW to be a facilitator?

I come back because I cherish the opportunity to give other facilitators the same chance that I was given in 2007. There is nothing I enjoy more than helping a brother who has not been part of the Fraternity for a few years make a reconnection. That, paired with the lifelong friendships that [I’ve] forged at workshop with fellow facilitators … is all the motivation that I need.

What have you learned most about yourself through your volunteerism?

That it is a sacrifice, [because]

time away from family and work is difficult. But, when I come back from Sigma Chi events … that is when I feel that I am my best version of myself. I have learned that those who I serve with will challenge me to continue to be better and hold me accountable and in many ways.

How do you apply what you have learned to other areas of your life?

My degree is in elementary education, but now I work in the hospitality industry. I have no formal training for my job. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t utilize the training I received [in subsequent training] as a Horizons guide. My departments at work now speak my Sigma Chi language. We talk about social styles, we use the Sigma Chi feedback model. Those tools that we provide to undergraduates are the exact same tools that are vital to me doing my job every day.

Who has impacted you most as a volunteer?

No brother has been more impactful on me than Cory Rigler, [MONTANA 1998 ]. Riggs was the brother who encouraged me to apply to be a Horizons [leadership

development program] guide. He is the one to deliver critical and timely feedback, and always the one to encourage me to try something else.

What skills do you believe you have yet to learn as a volunteer?

It’s not as much about what I have yet to learn, as what I need to continue to remember. When you are a first-year facilitator at workshop, Horizons, or even at a province conference you have an

element of fear, whether it be failure or of the unknown. … All of the teams that I have led at [workshop] have always been brave enough to try new things and put ourselves in a position where we can fail. Failing is good; it builds character and forces us to adjust and move forward. Challenging myself in this way provides me with the same fears that our newer facilitators have and allows me to lead with empathy as I help them to become part of our team.

Paying it Forward

In his eight years as chapter advisor at his alma mater Brett Collins, MEMPHIS 2004 , has built an advisory board that provides each undergraduate executive officer his own alumni advisor, has helped undergraduates grow their leadership skills while attaining academic excellence and has overseen a chapter that has received numerous International Fraternity awards. He is one of the recipients of this year’s Erwin L. LeClerg Outstanding Chapter Advisor Award. Miller, pictured below third from left, stands with brothers after he received a chapter advisor of the year award from the University of Memphis and the chapter won the school’s chapter of the year honors. Below, he discusses his role and why he volunteers for Sigma Chi.

Why and how did you get involved as chapter advisor for the University of Memphis chapter?

As an undergraduate leader, I thought I might want to serve as chapter advisor one day. I started in the role in 2009 when [then-] West Tennessee province Grand Praetor [and Order of Constantine Sig] Tom McAdams, VANDERBILT 1960, called me and said, “Congratulations, you’re now the Epsilon Kappa chapter advisor.” … I accepted the role because you don’t say ‘no’ to Tom. Plus, he had been a huge mentor for me in college. Tom embodies the spirit of youth that we talk about in Sigma Chi and poured into us as undergraduates …

He believed in us. He challenged us. He supported us. He fought for us. So, I answered the call and saw this as my opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to Tom, [to] pay it forward and work to provide opportunities for learning, growth, professional development and support that I wished I would have had more of.

What is your biggest accomplishment as chapter advisor? If you measured accomplishments by awards, it would be Memphis receiving the 2017 to 2018 Daniel William Cooper Award. When I was chapter Consul in 2003, we had to attend an academic improvement program prior to the start of Balfour

[Leadership Training Workshop] in Lincoln, Nebraska, because we were in the bottom 10 percent of all Sigma Chi chapters for our grade point average [GPA]. Since then, many undergraduate brothers have created programming, accountability measures and expected more out of each other to get to the [GPA] we were worthy of [for] this award. Winning the Cooper award is a tribute to all of the work done by undergraduate men in [the chapter] living our Sigma Chi values and striving for academic excellence the past 15 years. For me personally, I consider my biggest accomplishment as having a full advisory board of 10 members mentoring the chapter officers. We have spent the time to gain trust and build relationships with men in the chapter. I think it is a big accomplishment that they reach out to us with questions, to help problem solve or improve [their] plans.

What were your thoughts when you learned you won the Erwin L. LeClerg Outstanding Chapter Advisor Award?

I was extremely honored and humbled. I learned that several undergraduate brothers and some of the alumni advisors whom I consider mentors worked together on the [award] application [for me]. Many of my past Consuls contributed letters of support. For these people whom I have so much respect for to do this, I really have no words, but [to say] ‘thank you.’

How do you encourage others to give back to the Fraternity?

I encourage other alumni brothers to get involved in a way that speaks to their passion for Sigma Chi and makes sense for their current situation. They need to assess why they want to be involved and this will lead them to how they can get involved and what they can actually do.

Advice for a Chapter

With sage advice, chapter advisor and Significant Sig Phil Chambers, INDIANA 1980 , helped guide his chapter through the aftermath of the campus Interfraternity Council (IFC)’s November 2017 suspension of all social and unsupervised new-member activities for campus fraternities. The suspension was not prompted by a specific event, but by national tragedies on other campuses and challenges within the Greek-letter community at Indiana University (IU), according to a blog post by Lori Reesor, Ph.D., vice provost for student affairs. Chambers’ actions were cited as the reason for his nomination for the 2018 Erwin L. LeClerg Outstanding Chapter Award, of which he and Brett Collins, MEMPHIS 2004 , are winners.

Chambers has been chapter advisor for Indiana University since 2013; he is shown here third from left, with Indiana Sigs that include his brother Brad Chambers, 1986 ; sons Brandon Chambers, 2013 , and Dave Chambers, 2009 ; and brother Bill Chambers, 1979 . Below, he answers The Magazine’s questions about his role as a volunteer.

Why and how did you get involved as chapter advisor for the University of Indiana chapter?

Both of my sons were actives at Lambda (Indiana University). There were issues with hazing at the time and the International Fraternity conducted a [membership] review. I realized at that time that unless someone devoted the time necessary to provide leadership and direction, that the culture would not change and that [the chapter] would be at risk. Order of Constantine Sig Jay Beattey, INDIANA 1981 , took the lead chapter advisor role and I was his backup at the time and I became lead chapter advisor a couple years later.

How did you support the chapter when all fraternities were on suspension during the 2017 to 2018 academic year?

I encouraged the leadership and the chapter to do the right thing. [The chapter] was already a leader on campus and was modeling the way. (As an example, they had eliminated hard alcohol two years prior.) This was an opportunity for them to stand out above all the other [campus] fraternities. While many of the other fraternities violated the suspension, [Indiana] did not, which took courage and leadership on the part of the exec team and the members.

As chapter advisor, what is your regular contact with the chapter like?

I try to be there once a month and I talk with the Consul or house director at least weekly. In addition, [Order of Constantine Sig] Ansley Valentine [, WABASH 1990,] served as co-chapter advisor. He is on faculty at IU and was at the house frequently, and he and I talked weekly as needed. Since Ansley is [a] resident in Bloomington, [Indiana], he is taking the lead chapter advisor role effective this school year and I will be serving as his backup.

What were your thoughts when you learned you won the Erwin L. LeClerg Outstanding Chapter Advisor Award?

That it is a great honor, but that I am sure there are others who are probably more deserving of the award.

What inspires you to give back?

Sigma Chi has had a profound effect on my family and our value system. My father, two brothers, two sons and my nephew are all Sigma Chis. That is seven Sigma Chis in three generations. A great deal of our friends are Sigma Chis and I see the values instilled by Sigma Chi active in their lives. You don’t see that with any other organization. It is important. Especially in the world we live in today.

Butler Rho

The 2017 to 2018 year was one to remember. We accomplished an incredible feat: raising more than $50,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute for the first time in the chapter’s history. Being a part of the $50K Club is not something that comes easily. Accomplishing this goal took hard work and our members believing that we are the generation to end cancer. Throughout our Derby Days philanthropic event from March 25 to 29, the chapter never doubted that we would reach the $50K mark, joining the Tulane, Utah, Gettysburg, Georgia Southern and California-Davis chapters at that amount.

~Samuel Phifer, 2020

This year, our chapter raised a record-breaking $51,200.23 to benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute, far exceeding our goal of $30,000. We are proud to announce that our number of active members increased to 67 after we initiated the nine members of our most recent pledge class on April 14. Lastly, we achieved a chapter GPA of 3.1, which is above the university’s all-male average.

Our chapter pushed forward on all fronts last year. On campus, we continued to establish our presence as a powerful, forward-thinking member of the Interfraternity Council. Off campus, our members traveled to Tacoma, Washington, over spring break with Habitat for Humanity. During the trip, we were fortunate enough to work on multiple sites, working everything from demolition to interior and exterior finishing touches, with some landscaping thrown in the mix. Additionally, our members hosted a weeklong Derby Days philanthropic event at the beginning of the spring quarter and held our inaugural gala on April 5, 2018, on campus.

~Erik Mumm, 2020

California-Santa Barbara Zeta Kappa

In the spring 2018 semester the chapter successfully ran its first Derby Days philanthropic event from May 7 to 11. Despite this being such a new event for the chapter, we raised more than $25,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). The events of Derby Days included an alumni golf tournament, fence painting by the sorority chapters and community Huntsman T-shirt tie-dyeing – all in the name of cancer research. The men of our chapter are extremely excited with our entrance into HCI’s $20K Club and are even more excited for what we will accomplish next year.

This past spring semester the chapter initiated 22 new members on Feb. 24 and 25, 2018. Some new members had incredible summer plans, such as Thomas Crocker, 2021 , who was heading to Kenya to conduct research, and Christophe Gerlach, 2020, who launched Suna Breakfast, a meal delivery startup on campus. The biggest success was our Derby Days philanthropic event, held April 29 to May 6. Through member donations and a number of community-wide events we raised $26,215 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We also are proud of our former Consul, Stefan Antonsson, 2019, for serving on Cornell’s presidential task force on campus climate.

This past spring, our chapter celebrated the graduation of some of our members and wished them a successful future. Our chapter ran a successful Trampathon charity event on April 26 and 27, 2018, at the Scotia Square mall in Halifax, Nova Scotia, raising $4,200 for the Children’s Wish Foundation. We also celebrated the chapter’s 85th anniversary with our sweetheart ball on May 5 at the Ashburn Golf Club in Halifax, where we named our new sweetheart, Keara Meikle.

Consul Patrick Barrett, 2019, has coordinated with the Fraternity and university to create a unified vision for our future. This includes early adoption of the new five-week pledge program and new chapter bylaws that emphasize accountability and communication with school administration. Thanks to our Recruitment Chairman Colton Bancroft, 2019, we had 22 spring pledges. They will have an exceptional chance at leadership this fall with the sophomores studying abroad. We are thankful for our senior class, which has been a guiding light through uncertainty, offering experience, maturity and advice.

~Wyatt Gitlin, 2020

DePaul Lambda Omega

The chapter is elated to share that we raised $35,000 during our annual Derby Days philanthropic event held from April 22 to 29, 2018. This is an unprecedented feat, in that, excluding the university’s annual student philanthropic events, our chapter is the first student organization at DePaul to raise such a sizable sum of money for charity. The chapter planned to selectively allocate

funds to be donated to Chicago Public Schools. We would like to recognize our Derby Days chairmen, Magister Adam Webb, 2018 , and Brian Grover, 2018 , for their hard work and dedication.

~Kenny Shemanske, 2019

DePauw Xi

We hosted distance runner Andrew Peterson, CLARKSON 2013 , and a documentary crew from PBS at our chapter house on April 9, 2018, to help shoot a portion of a documentary about his life. Peterson was born with fetal alcohol syndrome, but has not let his condition stop him from becoming one of few Special Olympians ever to qualify for the Boston Marathon, which he will run in 2019. It was a great opportunity to showcase our chapter to a national audience and hear more about another Sig’s incredible story.

~Charles Nash, 2019

Duke Beta Lambda

We were very sad to see our seniors graduate, but we are ecstatic about the future of the chapter. Our spring pledge class brought tremendous energy to the organization once again and we looked to continue the momentum in the fall. We hope to beat last school year’s total of $9,587.74 raised for the Huntsman Cancer Institute when we hold our fall Derby Days philanthropic event, which was not yet scheduled as of this writing. In the meantime, our members were set for exciting and productive summers, some with internships at the likes of Google, Facebook and NBC.

~Benjamin Leonard, 2020

Recruitment chairman Colby Mangan, FLORIDA ATLANTIC 2019, speaks to potential recruits at the university’s Meet the Greeks event in the student union on Aug. 21.

East Tennessee Zeta Omega

Throughout last semester, our chapter held its largest philanthropic event as well as many other small community service projects. During our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 2 to 5, 2018, our chapter raised more than $4,000 through donations and T-shirt sales to benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute. On a smaller scale, our local community service projects included singing for residents of a nursing home, and cleaning up and restoring a building located near campus.

Embry-Riddle (Prescott) Kappa Phi

This past spring semester, after going through a chapter review, our members focused on rebuilding. We are implementing better risk management plans and putting a greater emphasis on academics. While we were unable to hold any recruitment events during the spring semester, we anticipated being allowed to host them during the fall semester. The chapter thanks its previous Grand Praetor, Bart Graves, NORTHERN ARIZONA 1979, for his years of service to the Grand Canyon province and welcomes Joe Beers, ARIZONA 1983 , as the new Grand Praetor.

As of this writing, our chapter was preparing for a tailgate party with our alumni sometime this fall in advance of our 30th-anniversary celebration, scheduled for Feb. 18, 2019. From Oct. 8 to 13, 2017, we held our annual Derby Days philanthropic event. All of the women’s Greek-letter organizations on campus have traditionally participated in the event and helped raise funds for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We appreciate all of the organizations that participated in Derby Days. We also named Maria Nonsoque our new chapter sweetheart. Finally, we initiated 10 members on April 20, 2018.

~Naetrell Thomas, 2019

Florida Gamma Theta

This past spring, Adam Stawara, 2018 , and Tyler Cameron, 2019, were named to the Florida Blue Key Honor Society, one of the most prestigious honors at our school.

We raised more than $4,600 for cancer research in our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 17 to 19, and pray our contributions will help the fight for a cure.

~Maxwell Giard, 2021

Fort Hays Zeta Tau

This year was full of changes for our chapter, leading us into a new era of our history. The groundwork on our new chapter house has started and will be finished sometime within the fall semester of the 2018 to 2019 school year. The fact that our house was not likely to be finished by the beginning of the fall 2018 semester was likely to cause new hardships that we would have to overcome. Our chapter was able to sustain its brotherhood without a house in the spring 2017 semester, so we were not worried about these challenges.

~Brian Cummings, 2020

Furman Iota Nu

The chapter initiated 19 men on March 16, 2018. We raised $20,200 through our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 9 to 15, making this the second consecutive year that our chapter has joined the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s $20K Club. Moreover, we received awards from the university on April 5 at McAlister Auditorium on campus for achievement in alumni relations, chapter management, community engagement, excellence in recruitment, international organization relations, and service and philanthropy. Finally, Lee Gardella, 2020, and William Stevens, 2018 , received the university’s Emerging Greek Leader Award and the Founder’s Award, respectively.

George Washington Epsilon

Our chapter is doing well and welcomed 23 new initiates into the chapter on April 14, 2018. Many of the new members immediately stepped into leadership roles and our executive board transition went smoothly. Consul Cyrus Behzadi, 2020, and Pro Consul Paul Bence, 2020, have been working hard to keep the chapter in a great position on campus. We hosted an exciting Derby Days philanthropic event from March 3 to 4, 2018, and raised $7,283 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We have had several successful events with alumni, and hope to see more Sigs at future meetups.

~Isaac Cohen, 2020

Georgia Delta

Before this past spring semester ended, three of our members won the Derby Days philanthropic basketball tournament we held on April 14, 2018, at our chapter house. Proceeds from the tournament benefited the Recovery Dawgs Foundation, an organization led by active Sigs that helps students battle addiction. Under Sig leadership, Recovery Dawgs has risen to become a large organization on campus. Fall 2018 will see our chapter grow with another pledge class being initiated in October.

~Justin Timm, 2021

Georgia Southern Eta Zeta

Our chapter had an extraordinary closing to the 2017 to 2018 school year. We came close to reaching our $100,000 goal, raising just over $90,000 for Huntsman Cancer Institute through several fundraisers and our Derby Days philanthropic event held April 9 to 13, 2018. We have ambitious expectations for the chapter in the upcoming years. Through attending on-campus workshops and participating in events around the community, we reached gold status from the Office of Student Activities, which is the highest level of achievement by organizations on campus. After exchanging officer positions, the chapter was eager to see what the future holds.

~Chandler Martin, 2021

Georgia Southwestern Eta Theta

We started spring 2018 by electing new executive committee officers. We also began building a new cookout shed for our chapter house with the help of Order of Constantine Sig Len Hicks, 1975 We graduated former Pro Consuls Greg Smith, 2018 , and Tatum Shivers, 2018, and our former sweetheart, Sarah Beth Hardin. This summer we were planning several house projects and preparing for the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop from Aug. 2 to 4 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Tribune Lane Odom, 2021 , was to attend the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit.

~Odom

Georgia Tech Beta Psi

From March 9 to 10, a record 71 undergraduate members enjoyed the 2018 Leadership for Life retreat at Berry College in Rome, Georgia. The retreat is a three-day leadership weekend modeled after the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit and Journey chapter development program. This retreat, which bookends each year of regular leadership development group meetings between an alumnus facilitator and a small group of current undergraduates, is something we always look forward to. This opportunity to learn from chapter alumni who have excelled in many aspects of life enhances our undergraduate experience.

~James Westbrooks, 2019

Gettysburg Theta

Our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 9 to 13, 2018, was our most successful ever, raising $51,500 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute and earning us an award for best philanthropic event at the Order of Omega’s Greek Awards on April 4 at the campus ballroom. Additionally, our chapter earned the highest GPA among fraternities on campus for the spring 2017 semester. Due to our success as a fraternity, we have never had a better relationship with our alumni. We can attribute this to focusing more on our brotherhood and doing our best to inspire Greek-letter life at our college.

~Benjamin Lowenberg, 2020

Hampden-Sydney Sigma Sigma

The men of our chapter are happy to announce that we initiated eight new members on March 17, 2018.

We also held a successful cookout and raffle event from April 2 to 7 to raise funds for the Virginia Recovery Foundation. The foundation is run by Michael Zohab, the father of Jack Zohab, 2017. We look forward to future events with the Virginia Recovery Foundation.

~Kevin Hood, 2020

Hanover Chi

Our chapter just completed a banner year for its Derby Days philanthropic event, which was held from April 30 to May 4. Correlated to this year’s theme, “CHIchella,” the chapter planned and executed an outdoor benefit concert that took place behind the chapter house on a stage that was designed by some of our members. Darrell Payne, 2019, headlined the program. In combination with a music trivia night and a campuswide volleyball tournament, the chapter raised more than $3,000 from Derby Days for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, improving upon previous years’ philanthropic efforts.

The chapter looked forward to conducting another strong recruitment season in the fall with the mindset of quality over quantity.

We also won the Leadership Excellence Award and two other awards at the colleges’ ceremony honoring clubs, organizations and Greek-letter groups in the Geneva Room on campus on April 24.

~Jonah Salita, 2019

Idaho Gamma Eta

Our chapter had an outstanding 2017 to 2018 academic year. We raised more money for philanthropy than any of our past years at $15,834. After a campuswide moratorium on Greek-letter life, we worked closely with our Greek-letter advisor to create progressive legislation that all fraternities and sororities on our campus now follow. We also continued traveling to area schools giving presentations on sexual assault awareness. Finally, we continued our streak as the most awarded fraternity on our campus at our school’s Greek-letter awards ceremony on May 1 at the Best Western in Moscow, Idaho.

~Justin Walker, 2020

Illinois Kappa Kappa

The chapter continued its success last semester academically and in its practice of the Ritual. We ranked 11th out of 41 Interfraternity Council (IFC) chapters with a 3.21 GPA. As of this writing, our GPA was above the IFC average and all-male average. We also received Ritual certification for the third semester in a row, something our chapter had not done in its history. Consul Kevin Steiner, 2020, recited the ceremonies entirely from memory with great passion, giving the spring class of 2018 a meaningful and noteworthy initiation on April 21.

~Steiner

Illinois Wesleyan Alpha Iota

During the spring 2018 semester, our chapter experienced a membership review and lost a couple of members, but with the help of International Fraternity Headquarters, alumni and the will of our members, we have found our way back onto the path of friendship, justice and learning. We were excited to take a break from school and enjoy the summer, but even more excited for what the fall had in store for us.

~Braden Miller, 2019

Our inaugural KJ1 flag football tournament on April 22 raised $6,500 toward a scholarship in honor of Kamil Jackowski, 2019, a great friend of ours who passed last spring.

We have done well with the initiation of our new pledges, with all six out of six being initiated on April 28, 2018. We also held a successful Derby Days philanthropic event from April 6 to 13. We created a new system and events for running Derby Days so that small organizations on campus could compete with some of the larger ones, making for more fun and competition. This helped us raise a good amount of money while also increasing awareness for the Huntsman Cancer Institute on our campus, all while having a great time benefiting our philanthropy.

Fresh off of a chapter assessment, our chapter has turned to a more values-based approach in recruiting. In doing so, we had a recruitment event on May 12, 2018, at the chapter house and met afterward to solicit the opinions of more members in the chapter. We planned on doing this after each recruitment event throughout the summer. As of this writing, we had numerous recruitment events scheduled during May, June and July. The initiation date for the soon-to-be pledges will be Oct. 27.

New Hampshire Lambda Sigma

Our chapter had a great semester. We continue to grow in size and campus presence. Our reputation on campus continues to improve as we do a great job of promoting our events. We strive to build relationships with the towns surrounding our campus, as it is great to reach out and improve philanthropy. Our fall semester new-member GPA was the highest among Interfraternity Council chapters at a 3.04. We enjoy our strong brotherhood every day.

~Samuel Howard, 2019

New Haven Lambda Epsilon

Almost half of our members graduating during the spring 2018 term took a sizable chunk out of our horsepower, but we believe in ourselves and especially the new members stepping into leadership positions who will rebuild this community-building, philanthropy-committed machine. We exceeded our goal of raising $20,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute during the 2017 to 2018 year – a mark we met each of the last three years – and we do not plan on breaking this streak.

~Eric Vandlik, 2019

The chapter had a successful 2017 to 2018 school year.

This past spring, we hosted several successful philanthropic events. Throughout these events and our Derby Days philanthropic event, held from April 9 to 14, 2018, we set new fundraising records to create a new precedent for our chapter.

Our chapter is settled into its new house and working daily to be outstanding men. At the Greek-letter awards banquet on April 23, 2018, at the Baker Ballroom on campus, we were named fraternity of the year out of 16 organizations. We initiated a spring pledge class of 12 men on

April 15, and we planned to send one member to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Workshop in the summer.

Our chapter had one of its strongest academic years in recent memory. We initiated 36 men on Dec. 2, 2017, into what we believe to be our chapter’s largest pledge class ever. This year’s Derby Days philanthropic event from March 2 to 8, 2018, was one for the books, raising more than $81,000 for Make-A-Wish Oregon and involving a good majority of the campus. As we wound down the spring 2018 term, we looked to continue improving as a chapter by putting academics as our first priority.

~Cory Hayden, 2019

Oregon State Beta Pi

The election of an ambitious and enthusiastic executive team gave the chapter a renewed sense of brotherhood along with a heightened sense of responsibility. On top of being able to throw functions again, we finished with the fourth-best fraternity GPA for winter term, won the Alpha Phi women’s fraternity philanthropic soccer tournament on April 22 and raised $20,404 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute with our Derby Days philanthropic event from May 29 to June 1.

~Ian Lewis, 2019

Pacific Kappa Sigma

After the chapter finished its spring pledge process, we initiated 15 new members on April 14 and 21, 2018. A big thanks to Recruitment Chairman Peter Nguyen, 2018 , and Magisters Ronald Ting, 2018 , and Nicholas Fasan, 2019, for their efforts during the past semester. Due to some miscommunication between some of the pledges and the university, we had to have two separate pledge processes and initiations, where Fasan stepped up and became the Magister for the second process and Consul Jordan Feneck, 2020, really stepped up and planned two initiation ceremonies in two weeks.

~David Emerson, 2019

Penn State Alpha Chi

The chapter is proud to announce the initiation of 20 new members on March 24, 2018. Additionally, we saw the graduation of 33 members.

This past spring, our chapter teamed with the Princeton Conservation Society to do trail-repair work in the Princeton, New Jersey, area on April 8, 2018. We went to Mountain Lakes National Preserve to rid its entrance of invasive plants and dead trees. This historic place is largely taken care of by concerned locals who were happy to see university students also interested in preserving nature. Serving our community was a great way to spend our Friday afternoon. We hope to ally ourselves with other organizations on campus and continue building upon our devotion to service.

~Rui De Oliveira, 2020

This past spring, Matthew Rittman, 2018 , was selected to represent the Northern Indiana province to contend for the International Balfour Award.

With the hard work we put into our strategic vision at the 2017 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop and during the last year, we were awarded second

place in the President’s Cup for the first time in our chapter’s history. This gave us the proud distinction of being the second-best Greek-letter chapter on campus.

We were also proud to be sending two members to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit this summer.

~Andrew Stelling, 2020

Our chapter of the Fraternity has a long and highly awarded tradition of being a preeminent brotherhood in several aspects of Greek-letter life on campus.

CHAPTER ETERNAL

CHAPTER ETERNAL

The White Rose Ceremony

In 1909, the service in memoriam was officially added to the Ritual. More than a century later, the beautiful White Rose Ceremony is publicly conducted as a final honor to the life of a Sigma Chi and to recognize a brother's entrance into the Chapter Eternal.

The White Rose Ceremony may be conducted in two ways, as a part of a memorial service and at a cemetery. In both, brothers who are present don white roses over their hearts. Then, each brother places his rose on the casket. After honor is called to the name of the deceased, the words spoken by the leader of the ceremony are short, yet poignant and true to the spirit of Sigma Chi:

"In as much as our dearJy beloved brother wore over his heart The White Cross of Sigma Chi whose immaculate whiteness rymbolized to us the purity of his motives, therefore, it is most appropriate that he now bear above his heart our emblem; and that we !cry white roses upon his casket in token of the sweet memories we will alwcrys cherish of him we loved so well."

The service in memoriam is one of four portions of the Ritual that can be conducted publicly. It provides a brief, but powerful glance at the meaningful words of Sigma Chi to those outside of our Order, showing them the emotional importance of the bonds of our brotherhood.

An Influential Sigma Chi

Forty-sixth Grand Consul John Graham, TORONTO-RYERSON 1933 , is remembered for his contributions to the Fraternity.

In the spring of 1973, Sigma Chi was preparing for the 59th Grand Chapter. It was fitting that this Grand Chapter was to be held in Toronto, Ontario, for it would also serve as a tribute to the first Canadian Grand Consul, the man who had led the Fraternity during the preceding two years: 46th Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig John Graham, TORONTO-RYERSON 1933 , who entered the Chapter Eternal on Jan. 9, 1998, at age 86.

“We all knew John as a gentleman in all respects and an individual who brought to every one of his undertakings a love and a deep sense of personal commitment,” said 60th Grand Consul Doug McWhirter, TORONTO-RYERSON 1958 , during Graham’s White Rose Ceremony. “Throughout his life, he devoted his remarkable intellect, his unparalleled skill and his deep passion to his fraternity. He served Sigma Chi with distinction in many capacities.”

As an undergraduate, Graham served his chapter as its historian, chapter editor and social chairman, and after graduation he maintained ties to the chapter as its chapter advisor, as a participant in building campaigns for its chapter house and as director of its house corporation. He also served the Toronto alumni chapter in various capacities.

Following a four-year stint as Grand Praetor of what was then the Ontario-Quebec province, Graham was elected to the board of Grand Trustees, which he served as member, vice chairman and chairman. He also was chief investigating officer of the Central Michigan and Colgate petitioning local groups, and is considered a father of the Western

Ontario undergraduate chapter. His contributions to the Fraternity were recognized in 1965 when he was inducted into the Order of Constantine.

In 1969, Graham was elected Grand Pro Consul during the zenith of the Fraternity’s membership selection controversy. For several decades, Fraternity regulations systematically prevented

“We all knew John as a gentleman in all respects and an individual who brought to every one of his undertakings a love and a deep sense of personal commitment,” said 60th Grand Consul Doug McWhirter, TORONTO-RYERSON 1958.

the pledging and initiation of nonwhite students, as each member of the Grand Council had a right to cast a “nay” vote for any prospective member. Graham, serving as chairman of a planning board, pointed out an overlooked detail in the Governing Laws. “I advanced the proposal that we should

merely cease to circulate to the members of the Grand Council the various lists that came in from the several chapters of names of individuals seeking membership,” he explained. “And in this way, we would not be breaching the Fraternity’s constitution, but we would effectively be granting local autonomy to the several chapters.”

Under his leadership, the Fraternity recognized the importance of the Ritual in the membership development process. He called an Executive Committee meeting in 1972 to discuss why certain chapters were more successful than others. “We concluded after two days of discussion that the common thread was the Ritual,” he said. “Chapters that had been installed within the past 10 years had outstanding success because of the indoctrination they had received from a proper installation run by the Headquarters staff.”

In addition, Graham advocated the expansion of the assistant executive secretary program, and was the first Grand Consul to fire Grand Praetors for not doing their job.

His one disappointment, however, was his inability to end hazing within Sigma Chi. “I know full well that there were a number of chapters in which hazing was deeply rooted, and I frankly was unable to eradicate it.”

But throughout his tenure, Graham strived to impart a sense of dignity to the Fraternity and the office of Grand Consul. “We have emerged, hopefully for all time, from the dark days that we suffered, to look ahead, to restore dignity to our fellowship, to cause our brothers to think

affirmatively, to think the best of each other,” he said at the end of his term as Grand Consul. Graham’s influence on the Fraternity would continue for the next quarter century. He was a longtime Grand Chapter parliamentarian, a distinguished faculty associate at the 1987 Leadership Training Workshop, a chairman of the Governing Laws Committee and a mentor to many future Grand Officers.

Professionally, Graham served as general counsel for the Imperial Life Assurance Co. before being appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1956. Two years later, he became a founding partner of the Toronto law firm of Payton, Biggs and Graham, and later joined the firm of Cassels, Brock and Blackwell as partner.

Graham, who received the Fraternity’s Significant Sig Award in 1975, also served as registrar of the Toronto Diocese and of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada, among other community leadership roles.

Graham married Velma Rogers in 1941, becoming stepfather to Significant Sig Ted Rogers, TORONTORYERSON 1956 , president and CEO of Rogers Communications Inc.

One of Graham’s final Fraternity appearances was at the 75th anniversary of the Beta Omega chapter, Toronto-Ryerson, in April 1997. In his presentation about the history of Sigma Chi in Canada, he encouraged all brothers to let the Fraternity’s principles guide them.

BUSINESS AND PLEASURE

This year’s biennial meeting took place in Chicago, where delegates voted on proposed changes to the Governing Laws and honored Sigma Chi’s latest alumni and volunteer award winners.

Two hundred seventy Sigs and their guests blew into the Windy City and the Renaissance Chicago O’Hare Suites Hotel on June 22 to convene the 2018 meeting of the Grand Council. There, voting delegates considered adoption of proposed changes to the Governing Laws and celebrated the new class of alumni and volunteer award winners, as well as this year’s Order of Constantine inductees and Significant Sig Award recipients.

Top row left: From left, Grand Praetors Tim Sullivan, ST.

Later that day, the memorial service for Sigs who passed away since the 81st Grand Chapter in Providence, Rhode Island, kicked off the business sessions for the weekend. During the service, attendees remembered such members as Significant Sigs and Order of Constantine Sigs Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959; Sigma Chi Foundation governor emeritus Al Menke, PURDUE 1943; and 62nd Grand Consul Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973 . Province representatives, Grand Officers, past Grand Consuls and Fraternity and Foundation staff additionally remembered Carlson through a tribute video. Carlson passed away on Aug. 29, 2017, from pancreatic cancer; he is the first Grand Consul to enter the Chapter Eternal since 44th Grand Consul Floyd Baker, NEBRASKA 1937, passed away on Aug. 15, 2003.

Those in attendance during the first business session also heard a state of the Fraternity address from 70th Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985 , who spoke on the campuswide shutdowns of Greek-letter life that occurred at numerous schools throughout the United States in the 2017 to 2018 academic year. He spoke of the Fraternity’s response to these shutdowns, referencing the health and safety policy changes it announced on Jan. 16, 2018, that are designed to stem potential dangers posed to members by alcohol misuse and hazing.

“We are and should be a benefit to [our host campuses],” Geddings said. “Most schools want to work with us and

other Greek[-letter] organizations, but feel we’re at odds with them. Individually and through the NIC [North American Interfraternity Conference], we have been working to break down barriers and to help show that we want to be collaborative,” Geddings said of these efforts; the policies can be read in full at sigmachi.org/ policychanges.

Foundation president and CEO Ashley Woods, EAST TENNESSEE 2000, likewise delivered a state of the Foundation address, in which he provided an update

on the Fraternity and Foundation’s strategic plan and outlined five imperatives for the organizations, which include: to provide accredited leadership training to members; to support our chapters with excellence and achieve universal high performance; to build adequate financial resources and ensure that our future is stable; to grow the Fraternity’s education and leadership programs; and to grow the organizations’ planned giving and communication capacities.

“I’m thankful to the many volunteers and staff that will be working on all of these things in the coming months to see them come together,” Woods said.

During the same business session, attendees also learned that the 82nd Grand Chapter will be held from June 27 to 29 in Salt Lake City. Additionally,

they heard the names of the Fraternity’s alumni and volunteer award winners being announced before taking part in a dessert reception that evening that honored the 2018 class of Order of Constantine Sigs. Eleven men from this year’s 18-member class attended the event and thanked those who have contributed to their Fraternity journey through prerecorded video speeches. This year’s full list of alumni and volunteer award winners can be found at left; the list of Order of Constantine inductees is at bit.ly/2wdQBuI.

On the following day, June 23, undergraduate delegates elected Calen Griffin, NEBRASKA 2019, and Greg Portner, SOUTH FLORIDA 2019, as their representatives to the Executive Committee (EC) for the 2018 to 2019 academic year. They also considered legislation that amended Statute 7 of the Governing Laws to add a third mechanism for hearing conduct expulsion or membership abuse matters: an alumni review panel directed by the EC, which could then bring such matters before it. Previously, such charges could only be brought before the EC by a two-thirds vote of the members of an undergraduate chapter who are present and voting, or by five alumni.

“This just codifies better the practice that’s been occurring and in a lot of ways is a little bit like j-board [judicial board],” Geddings said of the new mechanism that will allow for evaluation of allegations of chapter or member misconduct, or their failure to follow Fraternity policy.

The legislation passed as 98 delegates voted in its favor, and 12 delegates voted against it.

Following the legislative period of the business meeting, Education and Leadership Board chairman and 68th Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 , spoke on the Fraternity’s new leadership continuum, which, when implemented in the coming years, will provide a method of measuring or certifying leadership skills gained by members during their undergraduate career.

Senior director of membership development Jim Cogdal, BRADLEY 2003 ,

also discussed changes to the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge education program that have been made based on undergraduate feedback.

Additionally, Derby Days philanthropic event committee chairman Ryan Temby, RUTGERS 1990, presented a best-practices guide to Derby Days that his committee was charged with producing at the beginning of the 2017 to 2019 biennium. The guide contains examples of approved events, tips for fundraising and guidance on gender-sensitivity issues, among other topics. It is available at sigmachi.org/ derby-days-guide.

Next, attendees broke into discussion groups to learn more about the leadership continuum and the P4B program, as well as the Fraternity’s health and safety policy initiatives. Geddings facilitated the discussion surrounding health and safety policies, while Greenberg answered questions related to the leadership continuum and P4B program.

Afterward, delegates reconvened to close the business portion of the weekend by offering a resolution in remembrance of the life and service of the late 62nd Grand Consul Doug Carlson before attending the Grand Council banquet that evening. There, the Fraternity honored 26 members of its 2018 class of Significant Sig Award winners. This year’s full roster of Significant Sigs can be viewed at bit.ly/2ML0dEw and in the forthcoming winter issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi.

This past June, undergraduate delegates to Grand Council, a meeting of Fraternity leaders, elected 2019 graduates Calen Griffin, NEBRASKA , above at center, and Greg Portner, SOUTH FLORIDA , to one-year terms as representatives to the Executive Committee (EC).

and other campus organizations. But most importantly, I let them know that I will focus on what our brothers want. [My time in] this position is not the time for me to network and be a brownnoser, but rather a time for me to truly represent the undergraduates in any and every way possible.

WHAT UNIQUE QUALITY CAN YOU BRING TO THE EC?

During the 2017 to 2018 [academic] year I had the honor to serve on the Team Balfour committee [which puts

on Balfour Leadership Training Workshop]. This year, the team challenged every way of doing things and the final product [promised to be] the best workshop experience yet. If I can take that attitude they instilled in me and bring it to the [EC], I believe we will be very well off a year from now.

HOW WILL YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE IN YOUR ROLE?

As [representatives], it’s difficult to quantify effectiveness when our main job is to represent the undergraduates. Ultimately, the goal is to have every brother know [he] can come to us and know we are [his] resources to utilize. Personally, if just one brother tells me that his chapter benefited

from our time as representatives, I [will] believe we did well.

HOW DO YOU BELIEVE IT HELPS UNDERGRADUATES TO HAVE INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS YOURSELF ON THE EC?

I think it’s important for our undergraduate brothers to have people on the EC who have experience with our international [Fraternity] committees. At times, brothers try to reinvent the wheel by taking on giant projects related to transparency and communication, and slowly learn what is and isn’t feasible. I believe my experience on Team Balfour will help me stay within the realms of what truly is possible and spending time

accomplishing those goals. Also, having a brother on the EC who cares significantly more about representing the undergraduates than [about] making personal connections will prove more beneficial for the undergrads than someone who approaches the role differently.

WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS ROLE?

Honestly, I’m really excited to give back to our undergrads. It sounds very cliché, but I’ve developed good friendships with many other undergrads across North America and it’s really exciting to be able to represent them in some of the Fraternity’s most important conversations.

“My biggest priority was hearing from them what they want to see, rather than assuming I know what’s best for each of them,” said Griffin.

THREE DAYS OF LEARNING

Alumni and undergraduates converge at the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop in early August to take home lessons that will improve how they perform their Fraternity roles.

For the fourth year in a row, and for the 14th time in the event’s history, 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. 2 to 4, 2018; attendance totaled 1,761 individuals.

day event

Balfour LTW kicked off with its opening session at the Stroh Center arena on Aug. 2, at which Team Balfour organizing committee chairman Jeff Twibell, CALIFORNIA-DAVIS 1999, 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 the crowd, and after the session, the undergraduates headed to a cookout in the Carillon Park area of the Bowling Green campus before heading to division sessions based upon their chapter officer 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 three alumni were also in attendance to lead sessions as facilitators, in addition to the 19 members of Team Balfour and 14 Grand Praetors who led various discussion sections.

Throughout the event, the 12 professionals who attended the workshop as part of the Sigma Chi Foundation’s Distinguished Visitor program spoke to undergraduates in their division sessions to share their knowledge with them.

The distinguished visitors included Bowling Green State University

On the night of Aug. 2, Balfour LTW attendees listened to a fundraising progress update from Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) development officer Brandon Plewe, UTAH 2006 , who announced that the Fraternity had raised more than $1.85 million for HCI during the 2017 to 2018 academic year. They also heard a state of the Fraternity address in the Stroh Center by 70th Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985 , who spoke of the Fraternity’s new health and safety policies that went into effect on Aug. 1, 2018. Geddings also thanked the chapters in attendance for their efforts in setting a Fraternity fundraising record for HCI, and challenged them to raise more than $2 million during the 2018 to 2019 academic year.

Additionally, Geddings thanked the Sigma Chi Foundation for its commitment to providing $3.5 million in programming assistance to the Fraternity this year and an additional $500,000 in scholarships.

“Our Foundation is the envy of the Greek[letter] world and they are showing us why. They are tirelessly looking for donors and funding for programs, and because of [our members’] accomplishments, more and more alumni are stepping forward, seeing the impact we are having and wanting to be a part of that,” he said.

Following Geddings’ speech, Sigs stayed in the Stroh Center for the inaugural Douglas R. Carlson Ritual

Experience, led by 22nd Grand Historian Mike Codina, M.D., CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1993 , and 20th Grand Historian Eric Hansen, CINCINNATI 1989, who are both Order of Constantine Sigs. There, initiated Fraternity members learned about the organization’s Founders and various factors that have influenced the evolution of its Ritual through video and live-action performances. The event is named for the late 62nd Grand Consul Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973 , who authored The History of the Ritual in 2015 and served as the Fraternity’s 19th Grand Historian from 1981 to 1999; Carlson passed away on Aug. 29, 2017, from pancreatic cancer.

Breakout and division sessions continued on Aug. 3, as did alumni training. Additionally, beginning on Aug. 3, Consuls, Pro Consuls and Magisters had the opportunity to ask questions of Fraternity leaders in a town hall meeting during lunch. Recruitment chairmen, risk managers and others had the same opportunity on Aug. 4. SigFest was held the evening of Aug. 3, and attendees enjoyed food, games, competitions and escape room group challenges.

introduced the event’s keynote speaker: 64th Grand Consul Keith Krach, PURDUE 1979. The 1979 International Balfour Award winner and former Leadership Training Board chairman spoke about the many ways in which the lessons he learned as an undergraduate Fraternity member have informed his successes in the business world. After Purdue, Krach earned his MBA from the Harvard Business School before becoming the youngest-ever vice president at General Motors (GM) at age 26. At various times he has served as chief operating officer of Rasna Corp.; CEO of 3Points, Ariba and DocuSign; and chairman of Angie’s List, Ariba and DocuSign.

Aug. 4 was the final day of Balfour LTW, capped with the closing session, in which Order of Constantine Sig Ansley Valentine, WABASH 1990, kicked off the festivities by announcing the Cal. State-San Marcos chapter as the winners of this year’s recruitment video contest. Readers can see the video at bit.ly/2NfhRAC.

Next, attendees heard from 1997 to 1999 International Sweetheart Metta Krach, who

Throughout his career, Krach has built a reputation for being an innovator and is known for his transformational approach to leadership. Starting with GM, he co-founded the GMFanuc Robotics Corp., a joint venture between the company and Fanuc Robotics in Japan. After founding Ariba in 1996, he was named Ernst and Young’s National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000 and earned the same honor as chairman and CEO of DocuSign in 2016. Krach challenged those in attendance to leave the workshop with the courage to become change agents within their chapter, knowing such a task would be a tall order.

“Without change, we don’t learn, develop, prosper or grow,” he said of the necessity to embrace that challenge.

THE FRATERNITY’S MOST OUTSTANDING GRADUATING SENIOR

The selection committee for the International Balfour Award (IBA) selected Walker Wiggins, ARKANSAS 2018 , pictured below holding the IBA trophy, after he was announced as its winner on Aug. 7, 2018, at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. The honor is bestowed annually on who is believed to be the Fraternity’s most outstanding graduating senior based upon his academics, as well as his Fraternity, campus and community involvement. Wiggins, a biomedical engineering major, graduated with a 4.0 GPA, was his chapter’s Quaestor and Magister, and was a student body senator. He also created a volunteer network for the Fayetteville (Arkansas) Boys and Girls Club. Here, he answers The Magazine’s questions about being named the IBA winner.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE LED TO YOUR SELECTION AS THE IBA WINNER?

During my interview [with the IBA s election committee], I broke down all [of] my walls. I wanted to explain my Sigma Chi experience as a result of a membership review [my chapter had in 2014]. I believe that my honesty about the emotions and growth as a result helped with [my] selection.

WHAT DOES THIS HONOR MEAN FOR YOUR CHAPTER?

I believe it means a great deal for the … chapter. I am [its] first [IBA] winner since 1941. This comes just a few years after a membership review during my sophomore year. Therefore, I believe [it] helps prove that there are still quality men produced from the Omega Omega chapter.

HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE [IBA] WINNER AFTER YOU HAD HAD YOUR INTERVIEWS WITH THE SELECTION COMMITTEE ON THE SATURDAY OF BALFOUR LTW?

I relied on my family. I was fortunate enough to have my dad come with me to support me throughout this process. We prayed together, knowing that the decision would be in God’s hands.

“I believe that my honesty about the emotions and growth as a result helped with [my] selection,” said Wiggins.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE YOU WILL BRING TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NOW THAT YOU ARE A MEMBER OF IT AS THE 2018 IBA WINNER?

I think I bring a unique [perspective] to the table. I have personally experienced the difficulties and challenges from a membership review as an executive member for my chapter. I have also seen the benefits [that come from] them as well.

HOW DID YOUR FAMILY REACT TO KNOWING THAT YOU WERE ANNOUNCED THE INTERNATIONAL BALFOUR AWARD WINNER?

After seeing the qualifications of the other two finalists, I think we were all in disbelief. One of the best feelings in my life was coming off stage to hug my dad, knowing I completed his Sigma Chi legacy that he left me.

Following Krach’s presentation, Cory Rigler, MONTANA 1998 , the recipient of the 2017 William H. Carlisle Jr. Outstanding Faculty Award, presented this year’s award to Order of Constantine Sig Jose Tovar, SAM HOUSTON 1986 Tovar addressed the crowd and thanked his fellow volunteers for their support over the years. He also offered insight into his motivation for volunteering as a workshop facilitator for more than 15 years, referencing the relationships he has built with those he’s mentored.

“I’ve been blessed to have those connections. I’ve seen [undergraduates I’ve met at workshop] become husbands, fathers [and] leaders in the community and that is fulfilling,” he said.

Following, Geddings presented the International Balfour Award (IBA) to Walker Wiggins, ARKANSAS 2018 , who graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering. Wiggins was his chapter’s Quaestor and Magister, and served as a student body senator. Finalists for the IBA were Nick Chambers, EMORY 2018 , and William Heath, BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN 2018

After a short acceptance speech by Wiggins, International Headquarters executive director Mike Church, ILLINOIS 2005 , announced the names of the five chapters that won the James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award, as well as the names of the 20 chapters that earned the Legion of Honor Award for their outstanding academic programs. The University of Memphis chapter took home the Daniel William Cooper Award for having the Fraternity’s top academic program, in addition to $5,000 to purchase computer equipment, create a scholarship or support the chapter’s participation in leadership programs.

Lastly, attendees learned the names of the three chapters that won the Peterson Significant Chapter Gold Award for scoring 97 percent or higher on their annual report and the 66 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 Kettering B chapter, with 97.2 percent.

Following the ceremony, attendees posed for photos with their awards, closing out the 2018 Balfour LTW.

The first visit 64th Grand Consul Keith Krach, PURDUE 1979, above, took to Sigma Chi’s premier annual leadership event transformed his life more than 40 years ago. His most recent visit to Balfour Leadership Training Workshop at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, promises to help transform the lives of thousands of Sigma Chis for generations to come.

The Order of Constantine Sig, Significant Sig, entrepreneur and leader committed to fund operational costs of the event, prompting Sigma Chi to change its name to the Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop (TLW), as it will now become known.

“My workshop experience sparked my passion for leadership and played a pivotal role in my Sigma Chi journey. And that journey has profoundly impacted my life — from my values, to my leadership style, to my best friends, to my companies, to my spirituality, to my Sig sons and even to my dear sweetheart [and wife] Metta,” says Krach, shown here during his keynote address on Aug. 4 at Balfour LTW. “I feel so blessed to be able to give back to the Fraternity I love so much [which] has given so much to me.”

Transformational leadership has been a recurring theme in Krach’s life, dating

back to his first workshop experience at the University of Wyoming in 1976. “That initial workshop was the first time I really understood the breadth and the depth of the Sigma Chi journey and the lifelong bond of brotherhood as exemplified by all [of] these great Sig alumni brothers who were dedicated to passing on their wisdom and mentoring to us in Sigma Chi and in life,” he says of the facilitators and other Fraternity leaders who were present at that event.

The leadership lessons and mentors gained at the three workshops he attended as an undergraduate inspired decades of his own volunteer work within the Fraternity. Workshop is where Krach was initially mentored by one of the event’s founders, 52nd Grand Consul and Order of Constantine Sig Gardner Allen, EMORY 1928 . Krach went on to serve as a member of the Leadership Training Board from 1990 to 1995 and as its chairman from 1995 to 1999. During this time, he and past Sigma Chi Foundation president and Order of Constantine Sig Frank Raymond, PENN STATE 1971 , helped secure funding in 1997 from the L.G. Balfour Foundation to endow the workshop, renaming it the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop in 1998.

Under Krach’s leadership, Sigma Chi also developed and launched the Horizons leadership development

“My workshop experience sparked my passion for leadership and played a pivotal role in my Sigma Chi journey,” said Krach.

program — now the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit — in Snowbird, Utah, and he endowed a session of the six-day retreat in 2002. Upon his election as Grand Consul in 2005, he unveiled the 150th-anniversary strategic plan that pivoted Sigma Chi’s vision to become the preeminent collegiate leadership development organization.

Eleven years after his term as Grand Consul ended, Krach’s concept of transformational leadership is influencing the development of the Fraternity’s leadership continuum, which includes an array of programs and online learning housed on Sigma Chi U. Sixty-eighth Grand Consul Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 , conceived of the continuum. All of which, Krach says, points back to the beginning. “The seven Founders are the real mentors and true transformational leaders who were not afraid to challenge the status quo. They kicked off a chain reaction of leadership development that has led to workshop and Horizons and that inspired the 150th-anniversary strategic plan [and other programs,” says Krach.

As for the future, he says, “Our only limitation is our imagination.”

Things to know, notice and tell a brother

The Fraternity’s chapter at the University of Louisville earned its 20th consecutive Peterson Significant Chapter Award on Aug. 4 at the 2018 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW). Theirs is the longest active winning streak in the Fraternity, followed by the University of Washington (Seattle) chapter, which earned the award for the 13th consecutive time in 2018.

The winter 1993 to 1994 issue of The Magazine reported on the first personal computer network installed at Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. At the time, the Fraternity upgraded from an IBM System/36 to a fleet of 24 Apple Macintosh desktop computers, 11 Apple PowerBooks and two Intel-based PCs.

Mary Carlisle, who played the titular role in the 1933 film The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi with Significant Sig Buster Crabbe, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1931, died on Aug. 1, 2018. Carlisle was a leading lady throughout the 1930s, appearing opposite Bing Crosby and other notable actors. She was 104.

Significant Sig Michael Utley, ARKANSAS 1969, is credited as an orchestrator, composer and lyricist for Escape to Margaritaville, a Broadway musical featuring the songs of Jimmy Buffett, which ran from March 15, 2018, to July 1, 2018.

"This quote is one I use often [that reminds me of] Sigma Chi Ritual. The Ritual has become a part of me. I believe this is true for most Sigma Chis .... Sigma Chi volunteers and donors are often asked, 'Why are you still involved in Sigma Chi? Isn't it just a college frat thing?'

"The response I give and what I hear other Sigma Chis give is, 'Once you become involved, what you receive back is many times more than what you give. Because I keep getting further in debt, I keep giving.

"Maybe this gift will reduce my debt?"

One of the most enduring WC!)JS a brother or friend can demonstrate their support for Sigma Chi is making a planned gift. Planned gifts through the Sigma Chi Foundation provide direct financial support to the Fraterni!J upon a donor's passing, funding important leadership learning and academic scholarship initiatives and allowing a donor to leave a lasting impact on Sigma Chi.
