CORRECTIONS

On page 79 of the winter 2015 to 2016 issue, we reported an incorrect date of death for Bob Hall Jr., PURDUE 1949. He passed away March 8, 2016. We apologize for the error.

Bob McPherson, RIPON 1957, received a full scholarship from the Manhattan School of Music in New York City but did not earn a master’s degree there.

Letter from the Grand Consul

Brothers and Friends,

“... only as the ideals for which the badge stands take possession of my heart and become exemplified in my life, will I ever know the deepest meanings of the White Cross of Sigma Chi.”

— Ritual used by the Founders on June 28, 1855

As every pledge knows from reading The Norman Shield, the badge of Sigma Chi was conceptualized and designed by Founders and Miami University of Ohio graduates Benjamin Piatt Runkle, 1857, and William Lewis Lockwood, 1858 . A member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, James C. Beard, who was renowned for his drawing ability and with whom our Founders maintained a close friendship, assisted them with drawing the sketch of the original badge. Once the design was approved, Founder Lockwood ordered seven badges of the original Sigma Phi design from a Cincinnati goldsmith, Bradley Co. The badges were first worn on June 28, 1855, which we recognize as the founding date of our Fraternity. When the Fraternity’s Ritual was stolen in 1856 and a new one was created, the organization’s name was changed as well. A new badge was also designed.

However, as we all know, our Founders first wore the Sigma Phi badge, and fortunately, one of them, which belonged to Daniel William Cooper, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, survives to this day. When Founder Cooper died, he was laid in state in Pittsburgh. Members of the Beta Theta chapter at the University of Pittsburgh attended the funeral, including Consul Don Walker, OKLAHOMA and PITTSBURGH 1915 , who later became our Grand Tribune. Ultimately, in consultation with the Cooper family, it was agreed that the last remaining Sigma Phi badge should be preserved for the Fraternity. Brother Walker removed the badge from Founder Cooper and replaced it with his own. Cooper’s badge then made its way to the General Fraternity for safekeeping.

Founder Cooper’s badge is symbolic of the office of the Grand Consul, and it is now displayed in the new Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi at the Fraternity’s Headquarters in Evanston, Ill., for all to view and admire. The badge will be removed from there only on the occasion of a Grand Chapter, when it is pinned onto the chest of the newly elected Grand Consul. Thanks to the generosity of 22nd Grand Historian Michael Codina, M.D., CALIFORNIASAN DIEGO 1993 , an exact replica of the badge was commissioned and produced by Herff Jones, the Fraternity’s manufacturer of such insignia. It just so happens that the jeweler is located in Rhode Island, approximately 10 minutes from my office, so I was able to deliver the original Cooper badge to the master craftsmen there. They then photographed and measured the badge and prepared a plan for its exact duplication. A state-of-the-art process was utilized to reproduce the Cooper badge and its chain guard. It was then given a worn, realistic 161-year-old look! Additionally, as on the original, Cooper’s name has been engraved on the backside of the replica.

It is next to impossible to convey the feeling of having the Cooper badge placed on your chest at Grand Chapter in the manner in which we all wear our badges, as prescribed by First Grand Consul John McMillin, DEPAUW 1876 . He stated in a letter on July 20, 1932, “You are to wear it high over the heart, midway between the seat of intelligence and the seat of affections for we appeal to both.”

It is a humbling honor to wear the Cooper badge. Traveling across North America to represent the Fraternity with the exact replica of this critical link to our Founders reminds me to never forget the significance of what our badge represents, as exemplified by Founder Cooper. The ideals of the badge must first conquer a man’s spirit and the meanings for which it stands must take possession of the wearer for it to truly impact us all. Guard well.

Find it Here. Find it Now.

Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,

Our past informs our present, and includes some events that were more difficult to experience than others. However, it is how we respond to those situations that illustrates our character and determines how we will move forward. It determines what type of future we will have.

I was reminded of this when speaking with Order of Constantine Sig and 20th Grand Historian Eric Hansen, CINCINNATI 1989, about the new Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi at International Headquarters. While the museum includes many positive highlights of the Fraternity’s history, it also notes how the organization was divided during the Civil War, as brothers fought on opposing sides of the battle, and how members were at odds during the 1960s and 1970s, a time of great racial tension in the United States . Hansen stressed the importance of including within the museum information about the White Clause and subsequent actions that barred men of non-white races from membership within Sigma Chi. It is difficult to imagine that such exclusion occurred a few decades ago.

However, as Hansen noted, it is imperative to tell the story of how the White Clause affected the organization, which led some undergraduate chapters to voluntarily surrender their charters rather than to submit to a membership requirement based upon race. In displaying the information within the museum, it reminds us of a painful part of our history, but it also shows our courage to confront it and to move forward. Most importantly, it illustrated to me that neither individuals nor organizations have perfect pasts and that we can only learn from them and create better futures. In that sense, we can positively impact ourselves and others. I hope you enjoy reading about the renovated museum in this issue, and visit it soon.

Sincerely,

Susan Lorimor EDITOR

Story Updates

Gorlitsky Sets His Eyes on the Future After Completing His First 10K

Adam Gorlitsky, SOUTH CAROLINA 2008 , says that April 2, 2016, was the best day of his life. It was the day Gorlitsky, a paraplegic, completed the 6.2-mile Cooper River Bridge Run in South Carolina with the help of his ReWalk™ robotic exoskeleton. Gorlitsky, who was featured in the spring Magazine of Sigma Chi, completed the walk in seven hours. He is shown here in the race in a photo by Jennifer Collins.

Initially, Gorlitsky had said that if he needed to, he would return to the race location on April 3 to complete the 10K; however, race officials moved the finish line to the site of the event after-party in Charleston, S.C., and allowed him to walk down the sidewalk. Typically, officials at such races only block streets off for a certain number of hours to accommodate participants.

Gorlitsky says people were driving by and honking at him, and that he appreciated the support of local residents. A technician from ReWalk™ traveled the course with him, as

did 12 of his friends and family.

Now, he plans to do various 5Ks in preparation for his next 10K, the July 4 AJC Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta. He is also forming a friendship with the woman who stopped at the scene of his Dec. 30, 2005, accident that left him paralyzed. He credits her for saving his life, as she was driving down the highway behind him when he crashed, and she knew to look for him in the ditch that his car went into; it was afire with the headlights out.

“She’s like my guardian angel,” says Gorlitsky of the woman whom he recently met at a farmer’s market in Charleston, in light of the public attention he had been receiving about his plans to do the Cooper River Bridge Run. “She said the first few weeks [after the accident] she tried to reach out to me, but then I was [in rehab at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta].”

Gorlitsky plans to stay in contact with her and hopefully walk with her and her family in future races.

One Year After Georgia Southwestern Alumnus Came Back to Life, He Has a Reinvigorated Spirit

Twelve months after James Barnes, GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN 1975, came back to life after being pronounced dead at Flowers Hospital in Dothan, Ala., his friends surprised with him a one-year birthday party. They gave him diapers and Boudreaux’s Butt Paste for diaper rash, playing off of the fact that April 13, 2015, marked the beginning of his new life as his heart started beating again.

Barnes, who is fighting cancer, was featured in the fall 2015 Magazine of Sigma Chi. Then, he had four tumors. Today, he says the two tumors that were on his right ventricle and the one that was on his foot are gone, thanks to chemotherapy. He continues treatment to attack the remaining tumor on his left ventricle and says he is doing better than he ever has since his cancer diagnosis. “I run out of steam. I can’t walk very far,” he says, explaining that despite this, he no longer needs a cane to help him walk. “I tell people that the pain is the Lord telling me I’m alive.”

Despite any kind of discomfort, Barnes and his wife Laura went to the Old Mill

Restaurant in Dothan this April 13, with Barnes ready to share his story of survival, God and miracles to a group of women he was told were gathered there. He soon realized that his friends had fooled him, and he was instead there for his party. He and Laura are shown at left at the party.

Barnes says there were 50 or more people at the party, including nine of his chapter brothers. After the party, Barnes emailed his friends his thoughts on the past 12 months.

“You know, it’s been quite a journey. God has taught me so much in this year. He has shown me pain, struggle, sorrow, discouragement and sadness. But he also has shown me hope, love, caring and miracles,” he writes.

Barnes added that he is grateful for his friends. “You are looking at one of the richest men you will ever know, and it’s because of the love you have all shown.”

Online Socializing

Show Your Pride with #proudtobeasigmachi

To help celebrate the 25th wedding anniversary of the parents of Michael Vieth, KENTUCKY 2018 , he and his three brothers joined them for an African safari in December 2015.

He says that he and his family stayed at campsites in the Serengeti National Park in Kenya, sleeping in tents and taking a 10-day game drive while seeing wildlife, like the lion at right, in its natural habitat.

“It’s like a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a lion like that in person, and I happened to have my [Sigma Chi shirt on … I just felt like it was cool to show that [a] Sigma Chi [presence] is almost worldwide now,” he says of the photo taken of him.

The post of his #proudtobeasigmachiwinning picture, taken on Christmas, got 37 likes on Twitter, 771 on Instagram and 60 on Facebook as of April 28, 2016. “I’m proud to be a Sigma Chi because of the

amazing friendships I’ve made through the Fraternity,” Vieth says.

He adds that when the winning picture was taken, he and his family had been focusing on not one, but two lions. “I bet we sat there and watched those two lions for an hour and a half and they didn’t even act like we were there,” he says.

Vieth says aside from the game drive, he and his family explored the city of Arusha, Tanzania, and spoke with the cattleherding people, the Maassai, who live in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania.

Brothers and sweethearts are asked to submit a photo of themselves showing Sigma Chi pride for a chance to be featured on the Fraternity’s social media platforms and to win a gift from Campus Classics. To enter, participants should email a photo in which the Fraternity’s letters or name can be seen. The email should include the entrants’ school and graduation year and be sent to photos@sigmachi.org; other ways to enter the contest are to message Sigma Chi International Fraternity on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or post the photo using the handle @sigmachi and the hashtag #proudtobeasigmachi.

#honormerlin this Upcoming Day of Service

Every Sept. 15, Sigma Chi International Fraternity recognizes the numerous handson charity efforts put forth by the late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Merlin Olsen, UTAH STATE 1962 , during his lifetime. On the Merlin Olsen Day of Service, Sigma Chis are tasked with finding ways they can improve their surroundings through community service.

In honor of last year’s Merlin Olsen Day of Service, Baylor colony members Conor Gleason and Clark Elliot, both 2018 , painted the bathroom floors of the Jubilee Theater of Mission Waco in Texas, which helps those in need. “[Mission Waco] had mentioned it at one point that they had a children’s play coming up … and they didn’t know like how they were going to get the theater ready in time … I was like (sic), ‘Well we could come do that for y’all, we need to have a day of service coming up and we’d love to come help y’all finish it,’” says Baylor colony member and service chairman Chase Wolf, 2018 All Sigs, colony members and undergraduate and alumni chapters are encouraged to participate in community service any day of the week in which the Merlin Olsen Day of Service falls, and to

email their photos and videos of them doing community service to the above address, or post them on social media using #honormerlin. The images may also be used in The Magazine of Sigma Chi or other publications.

For Wolf, who is involved with Mission Waco, a program rooted in hands-on involvement, the day of service was an extension of his regular support of the nonprofit organization. He encourages others to take part in it.

“Just kind of get out and see what’s in your community, there [are] a lot of organizations that really try to do … a lot, but they don’t necessarily have the means to do it [all]. It just comes down to [the fact that] they just need bodies to help [get] work done, and just be eager about it and really invest in your community,” says Wolf.

Send your unedited Merlin Olsen Day of Service videos and high-res photos to honormerlin@sigmachi.org. No posed pictures, please. Please also provide a twoto-three sentence description that includes the names, school and graduation year of those pictured.

Making a Difference in Your Life and the Lives of Others

Memorializing a Friend Through Service

Five Purdue undergraduates refused to see their loss of a pledge brother as a mere tragedy. Instead, they dedicated their summer to traveling across the United States and volunteering to improve the lives of others in his name.

By Ryan Priest, WASHINGTON (SEATTLE) 2009

In the late summer of 2012, 18-year-old Xavier Somerville’s life was cut short when he fell from a fifth-floor balcony in Indianapolis, succumbing to his injuries a short time later at a nearby hospital. He had already accepted an offer to pledge the Purdue chapter, where he had planned to begin classes that fall. The news of Somerville’s death shook the chapter, including Ben Waters, PURDUE 2016

“Xavier was the most charismatic kid I’ve ever met in my life,” Waters says. “I got my bid on a Monday, and he got his on Wednesday. On Thursday morning, I woke up to a text from him asking to grab lunch. That’s just the kind of person he was, to want to connect and get to know another person who would someday become his brother.”

Though Waters’ and Somerville’s relationship had lasted only for the better part of a month from when they had begun the recruitment process, Waters was intent on finding a way to honor his friend’s spirit. To that end, Waters created the Xavier Project, through which he and chapter brothers Bryan Hall and Jake Clark, both 2016 , and Cam Sanders, 2015 ; traveled during the summer of 2015 to nine states to help those in need. Purdue Sig Will Shifrin, 2016 , joined them for the last three legs of their journey. For their efforts, the men have

been honored with this quarter’s Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action™ Leadership Award.

“In each city, we’d show up and call a bunch of churches and non-profit organizations, explain who we were and what we were doing, and ask if they knew a family or individual in need that we could help while we were there for the week,” explains Waters.

In order from beginning to end, the Sigs spent one week each in Chicago, Milwaukee, Norfolk, Va., Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Denver and Indianapolis. Waters and Hall say that they kicked the project off in earnest in February 2015. The chapter and its alumni raised more than $16,000 for the project at a parent’s weekend auction and another $4,500 through the fundraising website gofundme.com. Thanks to Waters’ careful budgeting, says Hall, the group could afford food and travel expenses while also allocating $1,000 for their volunteer efforts in each city.

In Chicago, the Rev. John Brazeal of the Christ the King Lutheran Church put the Sigs in touch with a high school freshman named Kamal Cooper. “[He] told us that he’d never met a college student before, nor had he ever been to a university campus,” says Waters. “So we arranged a trip for him this April to take the train down from Chicago to West Lafayette, Ind., to show him around Purdue, and hopefully let him know that college is a reality and that it’s possible for him to earn a degree someday.”

In addition, Kamal had been accepted to a private high school, but his family was unable to afford the entire cost of attendance. The Xavier Project helped by providing money to bridge that shortfall, as well as supplying Kamal with much-needed school supplies such as notebooks, binders, markers and pens.

Upon arriving in Dallas, the members of the Xavier Project reached out to Tarrant County Hands

Here, the Sigs pose with Somerville’s parents, Exum and Vicky Somerville, who are third and fourth from the left.

of Hope executive director and CEO John Ramsey, who put them in touch with a homeless man named Eric. The Sigs helped pay for necessary repairs to the latter man’s truck, out of which he had been living at one time.

“[Eric’s] situation is one that is pretty common, where someone goes from living in a truck to living outside — in a tent, if they’re lucky — once their vehicle breaks down,” says Ramsey, adding that Hands of Hope is usually in the process of helping secure housing and assistance for two to three dozen homeless people at any given time. “Our goal is to get these folks in touch with whatever services they need to address the root cause of their homelessness.”

Ramsey says that for some, that may mean repairing a car so that they can get to work. For others, he adds, it could be getting them into detox and rehab to kick a drug addiction, or getting them help for mental health issues.

As for Eric, being homeless has affected the way in which people treat him, according to Hall. “He said that all he wants is to walk down the street and say ‘hi’ to someone and have them look back at him and say ‘hi’ back, but other people won’t even acknowledge him because he is homeless,” Hall says.

Luckily, in the months that followed Hall’s interaction with Eric, he learned that he had been approved for housing, and that his truck had been repaired.

Hall seemed to come away with satisfaction from helping Eric and the others he met through the

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.

Xavier Project, while he says some who learned of his actions showed a sense of surprise.

“… afterward I came to understand that a lot of folks were shocked that we did this in honor of a single person that we only knew for a short period of time,” says Hall. “It’s very humbling, and I’m just extremely proud that we were able to honor Xavier in a meaningful way.”

A Commitment of Lifelong Duration

After nearly six decades away from involvement within Sigma Chi, Fred Franzius, BUCKNELL and DICKINSON 1957, attends a January 2016 province conference and is reminded of what he has to gain from involvement within the organization.

By Ryan Priest, WASHINGTON (SEATTLE) 2009

Sixty-ninth Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978 , left, presents a certificate of appreciation to Fred Franzius, BUCKNELL and DICKINSON 1957 , for his participation in the Jan. 29 to 31, 2016, Connecticut Rhode Island province conference at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I. Franzius reconnected with the Fraternity at the event after his wife passed away earlier in that month. He spoke at the conference and took part in the Ritual. “It shows me that no matter how long you’ve been away from the Fraternity, you’ll be welcomed back with warm hands and open hearts,” says Consul Mark Sylvester, NEW HAVEN 2016 . “Fred wasn’t a member of a chapter in our province, but that didn’t stop us from welcoming him back.”

Fred Franzius, BUCKNELL and DICKINSON 1957, was officially added to the Fraternity’s membership rolls on March 1, 1953. During his undergraduate days, he was the Dickinson chapter’s steward and social chairman at different points before graduating, getting married and starting his career as a minister.

On Jan. 31, 2016 — exactly 62 years and 11 months after his initiation — he witnessed a properly executed Ritual. When Franzius was at Dickinson College, he says the chapter was struggling, leaving him without the experience.

Then, after his wife of 37 years passed away on Jan. 1, 2016, Grand Praetor and Order of Constantine Sig Keith Moody, CONNECTICUT 1989, invited him to participate in and speak at the Connecticut/Rhode Island province conference at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I., from Jan. 29 to 31. Franzius eagerly accepted Moody’s offer, and Moody arranged for brothers from the nearby New Haven chapter to carpool with Franzius on the hour-long drive from his home in Connecticut to the university for the event.

“What stood out to me about Fred was how humble he was,” says Mark Sylvester, 2016 , Consul of the New Haven chapter. “He was just so happy to witness what the Fraternity is like now, because he didn’t get the opportunity to have [such an] experience when he was an undergraduate.”

Franzius says that he was engrossed in the proceedings at the conference and thrilled to interact with the young people who represent Sigma Chi’s future. “It was the best Sigma Chi event I ever experienced, and I give credit for that to Keith [Moody],” he says. “I was just overwhelmed by the experience of sharing the weekend with the 250 brothers who were at the conference, and they treated me almost like royalty. I was delighted.”

While Franzius spoke highly of his interactions with undergraduates and sharing some of his life lessons with them, he says that the highlight of the conference for him was something that was missing from his college days.

“The Ritual closing was the most powerful part of the whole weekend, because I’d never seen it or experienced it before. It sent shivers all through me,” he says.

Seated near Franzius during the Ritual performance was Order of Constantine Sig Bruce Casner, GEORGE WASHINGTON 1971 , who says he was taken with Franzius’ wide-eyed and joyful embrace of the proceedings.

“Because of Fred’s professional training in the seminary, he’s predisposed to be interested in something like the Ritual,” Casner says. “In our conversations that followed, it was clear to me that he was unbelievably and deeply moved by what he saw.”

Sylvester says that when Franzius sat down in the theater to witness the Ritual, he wanted to be up front, close to where 69th Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978 , was sitting. “You could tell he was very invested in what was going on and paying close attention,” Sylvester says of Franzius. “His eyes would light up when specific things were said during the Ritual. I think the experience was just incredible for him.”

In fact, Franzius was so impressed by the Ritual and the weekend’s proceedings that he has begun studying to become a Ritual Peer. A peer is a brother who demonstrates proficiency in Ritual comprehension and commits to assisting nearby undergraduate chapters in improving their performance of Sigma Chi’s ceremonies of initiation.

In addition, Franzius says that he is excited to help with upcoming Fraternity events however possible.

“I’m on board with anything and everything Keith Moody suggests,” Franzius says. He says that in the weeks following the province conference, Moody had already sent him at least a half-dozen emails detailing how he could become more involved in Fraternity events on the local and international levels.

Strengthening the Fraternity through an Understanding of the Ritual

In recent years, one the General Fraternity’s goals has been to create a system to ensure that every chapter performing the Ritual does so in a way that demonstrates its members’ strong grasp of the material.

To turn that vision into reality, the Fraternity’s leaders created the Ritual Renaissance and Revitalization Initiative, through which alumni and undergraduates can become certified Ritual Peers. The intent is that the men will then travel to undergraduate chapters and provide guidance on the proper way to execute the Fraternity’s ceremonies of initiation

To become such peers, participants must attend a one-day seminar hosted by a Ritual Master, which is an alumnus who has earned the highest certification for Ritual comprehension that Sigma Chi offers. During the training session, the master presents all manner of Ritual-related curriculum to the prospective peers, such as explanations of how the Ritual has evolved throughout history and what the Founders intended to communicate through each portion of the Ritual. Afterward, participants must pass an online test to show that they have gained a high level of comprehension of the materials before earning the title of Ritual Peers.

Once certified, Ritual Peers are asked to serve local collegiate chapters for at least three years as a mentor and teacher to the young Sigs, ensuring that they grasp the teachings of the Ritual and are able to accurately perform the ceremonies of initiation. The Fraternity’s leaders hope to someday require every undergraduate chapter to obtain approval from a local Ritual Peer to remain in good standing with the Fraternity.

To learn about more about the process and to volunteer to become a Ritual Peer, contact Andrew Nepp, MINNESOTA 2015 , leadership programs and data coordinator, at (847) 869-3655, ext. 229, or andrew.nepp@sigmachi.org.

Gregg Westerbeck, PURDUE 1980, at left, and his wife Cathy began their retirement by raising money for the Grizzly Youth Academy (GYA) of San Luis Obispo, Calif., through a cross-country bike ride. Westerback is pictured above with chapter brother Doug Dittrich, 1980, on day one of the ride that began in San Diego on April 1, 2016, and ended in St. Augustine, Fla., on April 15.

The organization grew near to the Westerbecks’ hearts when their son and nephew became participants in and graduates of the program. “The cross-country journey is a huge effort for Gregg, and we are both excited to be raising money for GYA. The persistence to accomplish goals and give back are very much aligned with what it means to be a Sigma Chi,” writes Cathy, who led the couple’s fundraising efforts and blogged about their experiences at grizzlygregg.com while driving along for support.

Halifax

We kicked off fall 2015 with our Halifax Moosehead hockey game between our members and local undergraduates, and followed that with a networking event. The alumni were very proud of the efforts of the Dalhousie-St. Mary’s undergraduates to host a Nov. 11, 2015, remembrance service for four Canadian brothers who were killed in action during World War II. The Most Rev. Jody Clarke presided over the event. Pictures of the four brothers now rest in the alumni room of the Dalhousie-St. Mary’s chapter house. In fact, past Consul Patrick Dornan, DALHOUSIE-ST. MARY’S 2011 , visited one of the brothers’ gravesites in September 2015 in Italy while serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He is stationed in Kuwait.

We wish the best of luck to International Balfour Award nominees Scott Purucker, WABASH 2016 ; and Grant Walters, DEPAUW 2016

~Curt Franke, BUTLER 1988

Inland Empire

We were excited to graduate from being an alumni association to becoming an alumni chapter in June 2016. We are working hard to connect and assist two local undergraduate chapters that have won a Peterson Significant Chapter Award: those at California State, San Bernardino and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. It has been great to see brothers from different eras and chapters pitch in to help with our success. In October, we will participate in our second-annual Sigtoberfest event.

~Justin Johnson, CAL. STATE-FRESNO 2007

Louisville

For 2016, we made a change so that our luncheons will take place every other month. In February, we hosted Dawne Gee of the local NBC affiliate, Wave 3 News anchor. Thanks to the leadership of Fred Silhanek, KENTUCKY 1954 , we “passed the hat” at the luncheon and collected $305 to support Gee’s television segment, called Pass the Cash. As of this writing, we expected to elect a new slate of officers at our June meeting. These brothers will serve terms lasting from 2016 to 2018.

~Rudy Spencer, LOUISVILLE 2009

Olsen explains that he met Massey a few years ago while assisting with remodeling projects at the North Dakota State undergraduate chapter house. Massey has also assisted with the chapter’s ceremonies of initiation. While spending time with the undergraduates, he learned of Massey’s interest to join the North Dakota Air National Guard. He then helped facilitate Massey’s process with recruiters to do so. “I couldn’t be happier to swear in Drew, as he’s a great individual who has made an impact with Sigma Chi and I’m sure will make an impact with the 119th Wing,” writes Olson, who is the division’s commander.

People from all walks of life and of every culture in the world connect with their predecessors each year by visiting museums and religious sites, where they can view historical artifacts or stand on sacred ground. In doing so, they identify with those who came before them and learn about the trials they endured, forging a connection to the past. Similarly, when every brother of the Fraternity is familiar with the story of the Founders and the organization’s history, they can become closer not only to those first seven Sigma Chis, but they may develop a greater bond to each other as well. It was that desire to foster a stronger connection to the past that led Order of Constantine Sig, Significant Sig and 63rd Grand Consul Lee Beauchamp, TEXAS A&M-COLLEGE STATION 1975 , at right, to help design a state-of-the-art Sigma Chi museum at International Headquarters in Evanston, Ill. As chairman of the museum renovation committee, he and other committee members ensured that the Fraternity’s history came to life within the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi. In addition to never-before-displayed images of early brothers, the museum includes screens that display video from Grand Chapters in which influential Grand Officers of decades past describe what the Fraternity meant to them. Likewise, the museum includes a valuable artifact — the Sigma Phi badge that belonged to Founder Daniel William Cooper, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857. Known as the Cooper badge, it has become the symbol of the office of Grand Consul. In this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi, we write about Beauchamp’s efforts and the history of the Cooper badge. Likewise, we share how Herff Jones, the Fraternity’s official jeweler, has worked to create an exact replica of the original piece. We hope you enjoy reading these stories and that they help you forge a deeper connection to Sigma Chi.

Symbolizing the

Past

As the museum renovation committee planned the creation of the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi, they considered which new artifacts to include within it.

By Susan Lorimor

When the renovated museum at the Fraternity’s International Headquarters officially opened on April 21, 2016, it did so with a new name and artifacts. Several recently acquired items, along with some that were not previously on display, were added to what is now known as the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi.

off a display within the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi on which visitors can watch footage of past Sigma Chi International Fraternity anniversary celebrations. The museum is within the Fraternity’s Headquarters in Evanston, Ill.

The Watsons played an integral role in the fundraising for the museum; their names are on the sets of glass doors through which visitors enter and exit the museum. Inside and to the right of the entrance is a wall dedicated to the Founders, where daguerreotypes, or early photographs of them on silver or silver-covered copper plates, sit inside lighted cubby hole displays that are recessed into the wall. The daguerreotypes, which are placed next to handwritten notes and other artifacts, are new to the museum. Previously, only reproductions were in the museum.

“To know that [Founder Isaac M.] Jordan’s family held that daguerreotype in [their] hands [and for me do so] was

Beauchamp is chairman of the committee, which was created in early 2014 after Fraternity and Foundation leaders decided to renovate the museum. Over the years, there had been talk of updating it, but it was a burst pipe on Oct. 14, 2013, that flooded portions of the first floor and leaked into the basement of Headquarters, putting those ideas into motion. The museum had long been in the basement, and the flooding damaged some reproductions and a signed lithograph of a space shuttle in flight. There was relief that more was not damaged, but agreement amongst Fraternity and Foundation officials that they needed to safeguard priceless historical artifacts, moving them from their 20th-century display cases to state-of-the art ones on the first floor.

“Once we realized [the need to do more to protect and preserve the artifacts], the

New Items to View

When visitors peruse the new Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi at International Fraternity Headquarters in Evanston, Ill., they will see the following items that have never before been on display:

ƒ A letter Harry St. John Dixon, VIRGINIA and CONSTANTINE 1861 , wrote to his father at the close of the Civil War;

ƒ Original daguerreotypes of the Founders, which are photos made on silver or silvercoated plates, and ambrotypes, or pictures made on glass that are backed by a dark surface, of the men;

ƒ A Civil War muster roll signed by Founder Benjamin Piatt Runkle, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857 *;

ƒ A page from the photo album of the Paris Alumni Chapter, which operated from 1917 to 1918, during the World War I;

ƒ A military brassard, or armband, which Order of Constantine Sig Jim Holcomb, CAL. STATE-SACRAMENTO 1994 , wore during Operation Desert Storm;**

ƒ An example of the eight variations of the Order of Constantine pins that its members have worn over the years***; and

ƒ A letter from the undergraduate chapter at Columbia University surrendering its charter during the 1960s in response to the Fraternity’s “White Clause,” which stated that only white men could join the organization.

opportunity for a top-flight museum on the first floor quickly became not only feasible, but necessary,” says Significant Sig Greg Harbaugh, PURDUE 1978, who led the decision to make the changes as former Foundation CEO and president.

New artifacts hold great meaning

In the months that followed, the museum renovation committee, which included three Grand Historians, Beauchamp, and the International Fraternity’s archivist, planned the renovation and decided how to best tell the story of Sigma Chi’s past, and which artifacts would be used to help showcase it. Some of those pieces were ones that were in the organization’s archives, while others were recently acquired.

One new collection includes eight iterations of the pins worn by Order of Constantine members over the years. The pins mark brothers’ designation into the circle of volunteers who have been honored for their 20 or more years of service for the Fraternity. On a recent visit to the museum, tears filled Beauchamp’s eyes as he described being inducted into the Order of Constantine in 2007 with the words that he has “worn the White Cross in a manner that the seven Founders would have commended.”

Beauchamp reached out to Order of Constantine Sig Jay Minton Jr., SOUTHERN METHODIST 1957, to encourage him to donate the collection of pins on behalf of his father, Order of Constantine Sig Jay Minton, MISSOURI-COLUMBIA 1920 Minton was inducted into the Order of Constantine in 1965; Minton Jr. joined it in 1998.

Beauchamp has had a close relationship with Minton Jr. over the years. Beauchamp even took the Order of Constantine pin that Minton Jr.’s father placed onto his chest at his

induction into the group and pinned it onto Minton Jr.’s chest at his own induction ceremony. The gesture was meaningful to Minton Jr., to whom the collection of Order of Constantine pins holds significance. The pins are now in a shadow-box display within the museum, next to a touchscreen on which people can search for inductees to the Order of Constantine by state and chapter. The earliest pin was one worn by the first class of inductees in 1948.

“Most people in the Order of Constantine didn’t like the [oldest] pin,” Minton Jr. says of circular pin that has a gold laurel wreath border and a light-blue enamel center. In the middle of the enamel center is a cross.

“They said it looks like a Sunday School badge.”

The next iteration of the pin was also circular, but the regular-shaped cross was replaced with one that is the shape of the White Cross, with arms that widen at the ends.

There were yet two more versions of the pin until Order of Constantine members began to wear ones that were no longer circular, but instead featured the White Cross with an arch stretching atop it, giving the pin more of a semi-circular shape.

Minton Jr. says his father was instrumental in the transition to the semi-circular pins, filing a penny into the shape of a pin that the museum display calls the Minton design.

“He took the penny with him and filed it [at the dinner table] at Fraternity events,” Minton Jr. says.

Showcasing the realities of the past

Other additions to the museum include a photo of A.B. Raffington, CONSTANTINE 1864 . He and Thomas Fowler, 1864 , were the only two men to have been initiated into the wartime chapter. They joined the chapter after

Raffington, CONSTANTINE 1864 , at far left in this display in the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi, has never before been on exhibit at the International Fraternity’s Headquarters in Evanston, Ill., where the new museum resides.

Brothers Help Fund Renovation

By Wes Holtsclaw, EAST TENNESSEE 2012

The work of a joint Fraternity/Foundation committee and a major fundraising effort catalyzed by Significant Sig and Order of Constantine Sig Chuck Watson, OKLAHOMA STATE 1972 , set the stage for a transformation of the museum that was once housed in the basement of the Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters in Evanston, Ill.

The result is the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi. “I have always admired the character expressed by our Founders and believe that the history and the ideals of Sigma Chi are appropriate for all of our brothers to live by,” says Watson.

Led by 63rd Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Lee Beauchamp, TEXAS A&M-COLLEGE STATION 1975, the museum renovation committee developed the strategy for the renovation. Insurance funds, which were awarded for the losses incurred when a pipe burst at Headquarters on Oct. 13, 2014, flooding portions of the building, covered a portion of necessary renovation costs. However, a wide monetary gap in funding the renovation remained.

Enter Watson, the past chairman of the Sigma Chi Foundation. He made an initial monetary gift for the project and issued a matching gift challenge to all Sigs.

The campaign, launched in fall 2014 and extended through spring 2015, brought contributions from 41 brothers who contributed the minimum $2,500

toward the Watson challenge, while seven additional sponsorships helped raise the sufficient funds to complete the $800,000 reconstruction of the museum and enhance other items.

The following sponsored one of seven Founders’ portraits in the Cameron Lounge at Headquarters, which is part of the museum: Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Bob Georges, FLORIDA SOUTHERN 1973; Significant Sig Dutch Freise, WABASH 1948; Nathan Neal, GEORGE WASHINGTON 1983; and 67th Grand Consul and Significant Sig Dennis Santoli, WESTERN RESERVE 1967. Twenty-second Grand Historian Michael Codina, M.D., CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1993; Significant Sig Gordon Whiting, CORNELL 1987; and the Northern Illinois House Corporation provided individual museum exhibit sponsorships.

The end result is a state-of-the-art look into Sigma Chi’s history.

“This was a great example of the partnership between the Fraternity and the Foundation,” says Sigma Chi Foundation CEO Ashley Woods, EAST TENNESSEE 2000. “Our new museum really sets the bar for any Greek-letter organization’s museum going forward. We’re grateful for Chuck Watson’s support with this initiative, and are appreciative to each of our brothers who contributed.”

brothers formed it to preserve Sigma Chi in the Confederacy, as a number of schools in the South suspended operations during the Civil War, according to Fraternity historians.

The photo of Raffington that is in the museum had been in Sigma Chi’s archives, but was not previously on display. William King, a Raffington descendant, shared it with Wayne Connelley, NORTHERN ARIZONA 1975, and another Raffington relative, who also had contact with Alan Simmons, NORTH ALABAMA 1994

The photo of Raffington, to whom King referred as Gus, originally came from Raffington’s family in South Africa.

“[In] Gus’s picture in the uniform [he] appears to be his quiet, unobtrusive self and his picture as a civilian looks like [he was] the act-of-daring type,” King writes in a letter to Connelley, speaking of the photo of a uniformed Raffington that is on display and another image that he shared. “In both he seems to be quiet and intense.”

Joining the photo of Raffington on display are other items that had been in the Fraternity’s archives, including a letter from one of the chapters that surrendered its charter during the 1960s. The Columbia University undergraduate chapter sent the letter to 42nd Grand Consul Harry Wade, WABASH and CORNELL 1926, when there was discontent within the Fraternity about its White Clause, which allowed only Caucasian men to be initiated into Sigma Chi.

“It’s important to tell these stories truthfully and to say that we’ve gone through bad times and we’ve gone through good times,” says 20th Grand Historian and Order of Constantine Sig Eric Hansen, CINCINNATI 1989, of the museum committee’s inclusion of information on the White Clause. “It shows that our organization is human.”

The museum also illustrates the reality of war through the addition of a “Gold Star” wall. The wall is full of stars that are lit to commemorate each of Sigma Chi’s fallen soldiers who died in war over the years. Beauchamp likens seeing the wall to visiting a memorial site in honor of the fallen in Washington, D.C., where one can reflect upon the sacrifices of those who died.

With the inclusion of the wall, the other artifacts within the museum and its multimedia components, Beauchamp says he is satisfied with the renovation committee’s efforts to showcase the Fraternity’s past.

“I think we did a wonderful job about putting everything out there that we needed to,” he says. “I’m very proud that we did not leave any stone unturned.”

(SEATTLE) 2009

Few Sigma Chi International Fraternity historians will contest the notion that one of the Fraternity’s most precious artifacts is the Sigma Phi badge once worn by Founder Daniel William Cooper, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857. As the only surviving badge of the original seven Founders, it is literally irreplaceable.

Over the years, the badge has become a symbol of the Grand Consulship: Incoming Grand Consuls are pinned with it at their induction into office, then they receive a replica of the badge to wear. In the past, the replica badges have not appeared identical to the original Cooper badge, showing the piece of jewelry’s natural wear-and-tear. Regardless, it has also not been uncommon for Grand Consuls to wear the original badge to special events, rather than their replica.

“[Sixty-sixth Grand Consul] Wayne Tucker, BAYLOR 1985, once told me that he used to lose sleep when he traveled knowing that the [original] Cooper badge was resting on top of a dresser in a hotel room,” says Buddy Coté, director of the Fraternal Division at Herff Jones Inc., the jeweler that produces Sigma Chi’s membership badges.

Since that time, the badge has been pinned upon each newly elected Grand Consul at Grand Chapter as he takes his oath of office.

How did a piece of jewelry once worn by Founder Daniel William Cooper, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, known as the Cooper badge, become a symbol of the Grand Consulship?

By 22nd Grand Historian and Order Constantine Sig Michael Codina, M.D., CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1993

As we prepared to open the new Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi at the Fraternity’s Headquarters in Evanston, Ill., on April 21, 2016, we stopped and took a literal inventory of the objects from our organization’s past that could help tell our story within the museum. Items like photographs and selected writings can tell about a particular time in our past, but in my opinion, one object will have a permanent home within the museum and stands out above all others: the Sigma Phi Fraternity badge of Founder Daniel William Cooper, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857. It is the only known Sigma Phi badge still in existence that our seven Founders would have worn before they changed the Fraternity’s name to Sigma Chi, and created a new Ritual for it. I say ‘known’ because I’d love to think that somewhere out there, maybe in the attic of a Founder’s descendent, hides another Sigma Phi badge from one of the original Seven.

Many brothers have the idea that the Founders were buried with their badges. While some Founders may have been buried with their badges, would those pieces of jewelry have been Sigma Phi or Sigma Chi badges? We know that Founder James Parks Caldwell, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857 had a Sigma Chi badge, but we have no idea about the other Founders. Perhaps that is a topic for another time. Cooper would have been buried with his beloved Sigma Phi badge if it weren’t for the quick thinking of an undergraduate and the generosity of his family.

Cooper died on Dec. 11, 1920, and the Fraternity played a major role in his funeral services. The coffin containing

Cooper’s body laid at state for seven hours at the chapter house of the University of Pittsburgh, according to the February 1921 Sigma Chi Quarterly. The Consul of the chapter, Don Walker, OKLAHOMA and PITTSBURGH 1915, noticed Cooper’s badge and realized that if it would have been buried with Cooper, the Fraternity would have lost a priceless object of its history and heritage. With the consent of the Cooper family, Walker is said to have removed the badge and replaced it with his own. The badge was then presented to the presiding officer, 21st Grand Consul Joseph Miller, WOOSTER 1823 . Walker went on to become a Grand Trustee and a member of the Order of Constantine.

Today, the Cooper badge is the symbol of the Grand Consul. It is placed upon the breast of every newly elected Grand Consul when he is inducted into office. Interestingly, this is not how it has always been. In the early 1920s, the badge was used to pin the elected Consul for Grand Chapters. This man wasn’t usually the outgoing or elected Grand Consul, but was a different brother altogether. He was the person who simply presided over the meeting.

From what I can find, the first Grand Consul to actually wear the Cooper badge was 23rd Grand Consul Roy Osborn, KANSAS 1897, upon his election at the 37th Grand Chapter in 1925 in Estes Park, Colo. The usual practice of the day was for the incoming Grand Consul to be pinned with the Cooper badge as he was installed into office, and then the badge was returned for safekeeping at Headquarters. This practice, however, has become more relaxed during the past 20 or so years, as

Left: Ohio Wesleyan University undergraduates carry the casket of Founder Daniel William Cooper, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, from the University of Pittsburgh chapter house following his death on Dec. 11, 1920. According the Centennial History of Sigma Chi Fraternity, 1855 to 1955, by 17th Grand Historian Robert Collet, DENISON 1914 , the entire membership of the Ohio Wesleyan chapter traveled to Pittsburgh for Cooper’s memorial service, and six of them acted as his pallbearers. Cooper was buried in Allegheny Cemetery near Pittsburgh, alongside his wife and three of their children.

the current Grand Consul has many more opportunities to wear the original Cooper badge and allow us all to bask in its glory when we see it. Which of us hasn’t taken the opportunity to gaze at it when we see the Grand Consul, or even reach out and touch it if we are given the chance?

To be in the presence of an item that spent so much time close to the beating heart of one of our Founders is something all Sigma Chis should experience.

Cooper would have been buried with his beloved Sigma Phi badge if it weren’t for the quick thinking of an undergraduate and the generosity of his family.

With that being said, I feel we have been lucky that, in the more than 90 years since the badge has been in the Fraternity’s possession, we have not lost it. How easy would it be to have the badge misplaced or stolen? Each time it leaves its home at Headquarters, there is a chance it may not come back. The new Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi will provide a home for the badge to ensure it will remain with us for as long as we exist as a brotherhood. It will come out, as it always has, to pin each new incoming Grand Consul; but then it will be returned to its home, where it will be prominently displayed.

Our brothers enjoyed a successful start to the 2015 to 2016 school year by initiating the members of our Beta Psi pledge class into the chapter. The 12 new initiates have instilled a sense of energy within our chapter that has positively impacted the aura of our chapter and we hope to see the same results from our Beta Omega winter pledge class. Additionally, our annual fall philanthropic event, Carving for the Cure, was a monumental success that raised more than $2,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We are also continuing to put great effort into supporting other philanthropies on campus and expanding our community involvement.

~Tyler Peterson, 2019

California-Irvine Eta Sigma

The brothers of our chapter have put a remarkable amount of work into what turned out to be one of our busiest and most fruitful quarters yet. We started the winter 2016 term in strong fashion by conducting a great recruitment, and followed it by holding an eight-week pledge program for our recruits. As of this writing, we expected to initiate them into the chapter soon, and we looked forward to seeing what these leaders of the future have to offer to better our chapter. Finally, we are pleased to report that our recent fundraising efforts have brought in more than $7,000 for charity.

~Aditya Kudva, 2017

California-Los Angeles Delta Eta

Our fall recruitment brought 30 new brothers into the chapter. One of our major focuses during the winter 2016 quarter has been improving our relations with the chapter’s alumni network, as well as improving our philanthropic efforts. We were very excited to host another great spring Derby Days philanthropic event, and we strive to improve and grow this amazing event each year. As we began the spring 2016 quarter, we were eager to further improve ourselves and increase our campus involvement, and by doing so, bring new luster to the White Cross.

~Christopher Rodts, 2017

California-Merced Lambda Delta

We placed a special emphasis on our academics in the fall 2015 term, and our hard work paid off when we earned the fourth-best semester GPA of any fraternity in our Greek-letter community. Many of our brothers are going even further by participating in campus research projects. As we moved forward through the spring 2016 semester, our Derby Days philanthropic event chairman set ambitious goals to help us surpass the $6,500 that we raised last year for charity. We have continued to work in the community by organizing clean-ups around the city, preparing and handing out meals for the homeless, and volunteering at local retirement homes.

~Zachary Zisser, 2017

California-San Diego Iota Chi

Our brothers continued their history of excellence on campus by earning numerous accolades during the university’s annual Greek Awards ceremony. In particular, we accepted awards recognizing our chapter programming, alumni outreach and community service efforts. In addition, we have hosted a series of successful events in recent months such as our career seminar, our 25th-anniversary reunion, and multiple philanthropic and community service events. We looked forward to our upcoming spring recruitment and hoped that it would bring a solid class of potential new brothers into the chapter. We also anticipated setting a new record in fundraising and participation through this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Shawn Hakakian, 2017

Carnegie Mellon Lambda Pi

This spring semester, our chapter welcomed 10 new pledges into the Lambda pledge class. Our 3.43 fall 2015 GPA was the highest of any Interfraternity Council chapter, and we continued our commitment to philanthropy through our hard work in the Greek Sing philanthropic event. In it, we were proud to put on a fantastic rendition of the musical Chicago with our partners in the Kappa Alpha Theta women’s fraternity. Finally, we conducted our annual Splash-A-Thon philanthropic event, which consisted of various entertaining races and competitions in the school pool.

~Augustus Henry, 2017

Case Western Beta Eta

In recent months, we initiated four brothers into the chapter who have diverse academic backgrounds. A sizable portion of the chapter is involved in the university’s athletics programs, and we have maintained one of the highest GPAs in our fraternity community. We are also proud to report that many of our brothers, including those who recently graduated, secured highly sought-after internships and jobs in their respective fields of study. We continue to build relationships with our alumni, and will continue to do so in the years to come.

~William Schnack, 2018

Central Florida Eta Pi

In the spring, our chapter hosted the quad-province conference that every chapter in the entire state of Florida attended. In attendance was Sigma Chi’s executive director Mike Church, ILLINOIS 2005, who spoke to us about how we can run our chapters in a way that would earn us the Peterson Significant Chapter Award. As we entered the summer months, we anticipated our return to campus and a new and improved chapter house in the fall. The renovations have been made possible thanks to strong alumni support, with a special thank-you to Significant Sig Todd Bowers, 1977, who led the effort’s capital campaign.

~Jad-Alexander Shalhoub, 2018

Central Michigan Zeta Rho

In January, we initiated 21 brothers into the Fraternity and continued our recruitment success by pledging a chapter-record 18 men to our spring class. In addition to our continued growth, the chapter hosted its second-annual Sigma Freeze charity ice hockey game, which raised more than $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Including those funds, our chapter raised more than $25,000 for charity during the 2015 to 2016 school year for its first time ever.

~Zachary Stout, 2016

Centre Zeta Zeta

Our chapter was proud to welcome a pledge class of 18 exceptional men who exceed the characteristics of The Jordan Standard into the chapter. They were three weeks into the new Preparation for Brotherhood pilot program at the time of this writing, and we believe that they benefitted from each and every activity in the program’s curriculum. We scheduled their initiation into Sigma Chi for March 13. With the spring 2016 semester in full swing, our chapter looked forward to hosting an excellent Derby Days philanthropic event and raising more money for charity than ever before.

~Dylan Spencer, 2017

Charleston Iota Epsilon

Our brothers enjoyed an extremely successful fall 2015 semester, during which we initiated 15 new brothers into Sigma Chi. Later, we recruited

a smaller spring pledge class of six potential members. In the spring, we looked forward to partnering with Youth Entrepreneurship South Carolina, a non-profit organization that teaches youths the principles of entrepreneurship, during our annual Derby Days philanthropic event. We also celebrated the return of Anthony Cimino, 2016, to the chapter after he successfully beat cancer for a second time. We are truly blessed and thankful to have him back.

~Thomas Faulkner, 2017

Chicago Omicron Omicron

Having initiated all 18 members of our Lambda pledge class into the chapter on Jan. 16, we were halfway through the pledgeship of the 10-member Mu pledge class at the time of this writing. Meanwhile, our members prepared for the chapter’s Derby Days philanthropic event, through which we hoped to raise more than $20,000 for charity. Beyond Derby Days, our chapter expanded its community outreach through ongoing collaborations with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and the Hyde Park Little League. Additionally, our alumni chairman worked to arrange an activity-packed alumni weekend to take place from June 2 to 5.

~Felipe Bomeny, 2019

Cincinnati Zeta Psi

We have strived to continue the chapter’s growth and success over the past year. Our new academic policy allowed us to maintain our position as the fraternity with the best campus GPA for the second consecutive semester. The chapter’s fall 2015 pledge class was its last before we began utilizing the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program. We are proud to announce that we have added 29 new men into our brotherhood. Thanks to the vision of our Derby Days philanthropic event chairmen, we raised a chapter-record of more than $36,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, putting us in the top-three of chapters participating in the Derby Challenge.

~Grant Galvin, 2019

Clarion Theta Alpha

In recent months, our brothers have participated in a broad array of philanthropic events benefiting such causes as Relay for Life, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, and Clarion’s volunteer fire department. Many of our brothers participate in intramural sports, while others are tutors to fellow students, members of the university’s activities board, and leaders of campus clubs and organizations. Still others are performers in theater productions, and some help to run the lights and technology at the shows. We are also proud that the majority of our brothers earned GPAs of at least 3.5 during the fall 2015 semester.

~Joseph Lillard, 2018

Clarkson Iota Zeta

Our members enjoyed another successful spring, during which we welcomed six new brothers into the chapter of whom we are exceptionally proud. Our brothers continue to involve themselves in extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports and honors organizations. We continue to earn one of the university’s best fraternity GPAs, and we hosted several charitable fundraisers and community improvement projects throughout the spring 2016 semester to benefit those in need. Now, we look forward to recruiting our next class of brothers in the fall and surpassing our fundraising goal for the chapter’s Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Tyler Maus, 2017

College of Idaho Kappa Lambda

The 2015 to 2016 academic year was an amazing one for the men of our chapter, during which we received a Big Sky Province Chapter of the Year Award. Additionally, former Consul Chanse Ward, 2016, accepted the Big Sky Province Balfour Award. At the time of this writing, we looked forward to hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event in April and hoped to make it our best such event yet by raising more funds than ever before for charity. Finally, we have initiated 11 great guys into the chapter in recent months, with another four that we pledged in the spring.

~Andres Maldonado, 2018

Colorado State Beta Tau

After the fall 2015 semester, we initiated the largest new member class into the chapter that we have seen in several years. This spring, one of our chapter’s main goals was the reacquisition of a chapter house. We were excited to return our Derby Days philanthropic event to campus and make a sizable donation to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We also recruited the chapter’s largest spring pledge class in the past decade. Our brothers are making tremendous progress with regard to campus and community involvement, academic excellence, strength in brotherhood, and promoting the well-being of the General Fraternity.

~Troy Witt, 2017

Columbia Nu Nu

Our chapter had a very exciting fall 2015 semester, as well as a great start to the spring. The majority of the chapter’s members participate on the university’s varsity football team, and we showed considerable improvement in our record from years past. Billy Lawrence, 2016; Cameron Molina, 2016; Matthew Cahal, 2016; and Cameron Nizialek, 2017; accepted All-Ivy League recognition awards at their respective positions and won team awards as well. At the time of this writing, we were preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and hoped to double the event’s 2015 fundraising total.

Gamma Omega

Our chapter had a very successful fall 2015 semester, during which we maintained a 3.38 GPA. At the 2016 Connecticut/Rhode Island province conference, our chapter received an award recognizing our excellence in recruitment. Kirk Chamenko, 2017, led our basketball team to a second-consecutive victory in the Delta Gamma women’s fraternity’s Anchor Slam tournament, and Mark Ballaro, 2017, and Ryan Cerniglia, 2017, facilitated an excellent spring 2016 recruitment. As a result of their efforts, we extended bids to nine exemplary young men. Under the leadership of our newly elected executive officers, we look forward to future success at our chapter.

~Dennis Rafferty, 2017

Cornell Alpha Phi

Our brothers were filled with excitement after initiating the members of the chapter's latest pledge class into the Fraternity. We looked forward to a successful semester as we began planning for our 2016 Derby Days philanthropic event. Notably, our chapter was honored for earning the third-best fraternity GPA during the fall 2015 semester. We never could have achieved this level of academic success without the support of our brotherhood.

~Harrison Boyajian, 2018

Cumberland Nu

Throughout our recruitment efforts, we are constantly looking for gentlemen who live up to The Jordan Standard, and we found two such men to pledge our chapter in the spring 2016 semester.

We hosted our inaugural ski trip in Indiana, which made for a great opportunity for our brothers to bond with one another. In addition, we planned to host a major philanthropic event sometime in April benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The event took much time to plan, but we were confident that our hard work would pay off in the end.

~Nicholas Prall, 2016

Dalhousie-St. Mary’s Gamma Rho

Our brothers managed to increase their GPA in recent months, in part thanks to our new in-house study room that was our scholarship chairman’s pet project. Our philanthropic endeavors were also successful, as our keynote Trampathon event raised more than $5,600 for Children’s Wish Foundation International. We owe a big thank-you to our alumni chapter for helping us in countless ways during the 2015 to 2016 school year. Lastly, thank you to our graduating brothers for everything they have given to the chapter.

~Jesse Laufer, 2016

Denison Mu

This spring, the members of our chapter who play for the university’s lacrosse team worked hard to earn a ranking in the nation’s top-20. We were rapidly approaching the initiation of six new brothers into our chapter at the time of this writing, all of whom will bring positive attributes to the chapter. Our chapter’s future is in very good hands, and we look forward to carrying our recent successes throughout 2016. Finally, we were excited to raise money this year with our inaugural Dad Day golf outing and a successful Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Corey Chapman, 2016

Denver Delta Iota

More than two months out from the start of our Derby Days philanthropic event, the chapter had already raised more than $8,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. That figure represents a greater total than we have ever accumulated before the actual start of the event in years past, and at the time of this writing we were well on our way toward exceeding our goal of raising $40,000 for charity during the 2015 to 2016 school year. Our intramural basketball team placed second in the league and the chapter’s cumulative GPA is the highest it has been in more than two years.

~Joshua Todtfeld, 2016

DePauw Xi

Our recruitment efforts thus far in 2016 have yielded 27 potential new members who have pledged our chapter, an increase over the 16 pledges we recruited last year. The chapter’s brothers also raised $5,000 for DePauw’s Dance Marathon, and they have clearly established themselves as campus leaders in the realm of philanthropy. Additionally, the chapter picked up several awards at the Indiana State Day province conference, including the

award for best recruitment video. As we entered the spring, we prepared to finish the school year in strong fashion by hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event and a trip to Chicago for Spring Formal.

As we approached April, we were excited to initiate the members of our Gamma Psi pledge class into the chapter and to participate in Greek Week.

~Cody Carlson, 2017

Eastern Kentucky Eta Alpha

During last year’s Christmas vacation, we initiated 21 new members into the chapter from our fall 2015 pledge class. Theirs is a very accomplished class, having earned the university’s award for having the fraternity community’s best pledge class GPA with a 3.10. Our members met in Louisville for the Kentucky province conference in February, and the chapter came away from the meeting having won the province’s William Lewis Lockwood Award, the Chapter Hospitality Award, the Chapter Alumni Involvement Award, the Ritual Award, and the Province Chapter of the Year Award.

~Blake Higdon, 2018

Eastern New Mexico Zeta Sigma

We hosted our faculty lunch on April 2, our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 11 to 16, and took part in Greek Week from April 18 to 22. We also looked forward to choosing our newest chapter sweetheart at our April 30 Spring Formal. We undertook a different community service project starting last fall, and planned to continue doing so through the spring. We also initiated five new members into the chapter during the fall, and recruited three pledges for our spring 2016 class.

~Travis Connell, 2019

Elon Theta Omega

During the fall 2015 semester, we welcomed three new members of our Beta Iota pledge class into the chapter’s executive committee. Consul Alec Burke, 2017; Pro Consul Brady Anderson, 2017; and Annotator Kelley Jay, 2017; continue to advance their respective positions. In addition, we recently accepted 14 pledges into our new member education program. We hope to instill a sense of friendship, justice, and learning into these men by the end of their pledge period. Finally, our chapter has continued to engage in university teams and respectable academic programs, such as club lacrosse and the business and industry discussion club.

~Mark Goetzmann, 2018

Embry-Riddle (Daytona Beach) Eta Iota

Zach Bettis, 2016, was recently elected president of the Interfraternity Council, while Kyle Martinez, 2019, is the organization’s new director of public relations.

We are proud to announce that, at the time of this writing, six young men were nearing the completion of their spring 2016 pledgeships. Our chapter has been active in the local community lately. In addition to preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event, we have been involved in community service throughout the Prescott, Ariz., area. We strongly believe that serving the public and forming bonds with local businesses is vital for our chapter’s ability to maintain a positive reputation. We are very excited to discover what opportunities will arise in the future as we work to continue improving our chapter.

~Zachary Ontiveros, 2020

Emory Beta Chi

Our chapter’s spring recruitment effort was extremely successful, as it brought in 20 potential new members whom we expected to initiate into Sigma Chi sometime in early April. The members of our chapter who play for the university’s baseball team were performing wonderfully at the time of this writing, and we hope that they will guide the team to an undefeated record. Meanwhile, our brothers on the tennis team contributed to yet another Division III national championship for the program in 2016. Finally, we expected our participation in Emory’s Dance Marathon as well as our Derby Days philanthropic event would raise thousands of dollars for local Atlanta charities.

~Elliot Curtin, 2017

Fairleigh Dickinson Iota Kappa

Our chapter recently recruited the largest pledge class in its history. If they are all initiated, the class’s 24 members will double the size of the chapter. At the time of this writing, we looked forward to hosting our Scott Merrick basketball tournament, which gains popularity every semester with our fellow Greek-letter organizations. We also made the effort to participate in every philanthropic event hosted by a campus sorority or women’s fraternity this spring. Lastly, we planned to honor our 15 graduating brothers at our Spring Formal.

~James Mizvesky, 2018

Florida Gamma Theta

Our chapter’s spring recruitment went smoothly, and we were excited to initiate our newest brothers into Sigma Chi later in the semester. We hosted our Derby Days philanthropic event on the weekend of Feb. 20, and it went off without a hitch. Brothers and members of our Greek-letter community’s sororities and women’s fraternities competed in a dance competition and other activities to help raise money for charity. We hoped to close out the semester with even more success as we prepared to say goodbye to our graduating seniors as they geared up to enter the real world.

~Grant Montgomery, 2018

Florida Atlantic Lambda Tau

Throughout the 2015 to 2016 school year, we have volunteered in the South Florida community through events such as the Office Depot Foundation Sample Sale, where we helped distribute office supplies among people who support the Office Depot Foundation. We also assisted the women of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority at the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., by setting up a garage sale and washing cars to raise money for the charity. We are also excited to run our first Derby Days philanthropic event at Florida Atlantic University.

~Matthew Wilson, 2018

Florida Gulf Coast Lambda Zeta

During this past spring semester, Consul Nick Clark, 2016, won the Florida Sun Coast Province Balfour Award, and Jimmy Nicola, 2016, was elected the university’s Interfraternity Council president. We looked forward to hosting numerous philanthropic events in the spring, such as our new Egg Hunt for Huntsman. We looked forward to getting everyone involved with this event and raising money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Finally, on Jan. 31, we hosted our formal pinning ceremony for the members of our Omicron pledge class.

~Austin Lehner, 2019

Florida International Lambda Iota

We recently welcomed alumni to participate in a gala recognizing the fifth anniversary of our chapter’s founding, bringing them together with our members for a fun social event. In addition, we hosted the chapter’s fourth-annual Derby Days philanthropic event and executed a Derby Run 5K race. Our efforts allowed us to increase our charitable fundraising, and we have worked to become much more involved in student organizations on campus: Gus Briceno, 2018 , who is a member of the American Medical Student Association, and Brandon Garcia, 2016, who is a delegate to the Interfraternity Council.

~Brian Lastra, 2019

Our brothers have continued to involve themselves in service projects, intramural sports and student-led organizations such as the student government association, which Pro Consul Corey Koch, 2017, leads as president. We are also proud of Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Bob Georges, 1973 , who recently donated $1 million to the Sigma Chi Foundation. We took advantage of our Homecoming alumni event as a first step in improving our alumni relations, and we continually strive to better our chapter, college, and community relations through our leadership efforts as men of Sigma Chi.

~Malcom King, 2017

Fort Hays Zeta Tau

As usual, we recruited fewer recruits in the spring semester than we did in the fall. In fact, one of our spring recruitment activities had to be cancelled due to snow. The chapter took part in the university’s Greek Basketball Games, an event in which Greek-letter organizations show off their school spirit. After many years of not putting on a Derby Days philanthropic event, we finally managed to organize and follow through with hosting one. Our brothers members visited more than 10 businesses to request sponsorship funds for us to donate to charity.

~Caleb Quay, 2017

Furman Iota Nu

Our chapter initiated 22 exemplary brothers into Sigma Chi this spring, which was our largest initiating class in ages. Alumni brothers turned out in great numbers for our Homecoming event, and we held our first brotherhood retreat in several years. We were so fortunate to have 59th Grand Consul Dick Hester, BALL STATE 1977, here to join us in leading the retreat. It is also my pleasure to inform you that we accepted a Peterson Significant Chapter Award in 2015 for the first time since 2006.

~Tyler Knauss, 2017

A College in Fairfax, Va. Iota Xi

Our brothers had a great spring 2016 semester in which we grew our membership while strengthening the bonds of our fellowship. We were happy to have taken part in the beta test of the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program, and we continue to build our recruitment efforts to benefit us in the future. Our chapter has been without university recognition since 2007, and we hope to become a recognized student organization in 2017. To our brothers who graduated in the spring: Thank you for your dedication to the Fraternity and for being role models. We look forward to your future success.

~Matthew Coyle, 2018

George Washington Epsilon

We celebrated another wonderful semester this past fall by welcoming 22 new brothers into Sigma Chi and raising more than $44,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This spring, we installed a new slate of sophomore and junior executive officers who are committed to making the chapter flourish like never before. During our spring recruitment, we invited six men to pledge our chapter, all of whom were excelling in their pledgeship at the time of this writing. Finally, our brothers who participate in the university’s interfraternity league intramural basketball and football leagues won the championships in both sports.

~Jordan Dale, 2018

Georgia Delta

Looking toward the upcoming 2016 to 2017 school year, the brothers of our chapter are excited to kickstart a new campus organization. Recovery Dawgs provides support to college-aged students who are going through varying degrees of drug abuse, and we are anxious to volunteer our time toward such a significant cause. We look forward to welcoming a new pledge class into our Fraternity, and are grateful for the help provided by our parents, advisors, alumni, and faculty.

~Tommy McGlone, 2017

Georgia Southwestern Eta Theta

After a good spring 2016 semester, our chapter is excited to move on to planning for the upcoming academic year. During the spring, we had our annual Boston Butt cookout and Sweetheart Ball, and we

are excited to work with the new slate of executive officers we elected for the 2016 to 2017 school year. Those officers are excited to attend this year’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop to learn new techniques to better our chapter. We also plan to host multiple recruitment events throughout the summer to bolster our fall 2016 pledge class.

~Johnny Moore, 2016

Georgia Tech Beta Psi

We welcomed five new pledges into our chapter in January, and they were progressing well through the Preparation for Brotherhood program at the time of this writing. At the end of January, the chapter journeyed to New Orleans for our White Rose Formal, which all of its participants thoroughly enjoyed. Most recently, we celebrated the generous contributions our alumni have made at our Feb. 27 scholarship dinner, and we also looked forward to kicking off our Derby Days philanthropic event on April 4.

~Christopher Bush, 2017

Gettysburg Theta

Our brothers had a successful end to the fall 2015 semester and a promising start to the spring 2016 semester, during which we repeated as the winners of the Greek-letter community’s chapter house holiday decorating contest. We elected a new slate of executive officers, including Chandler Robertson, 2017, as Consul and Konrad Neptun, 2017, as Pro Consul. The chapter also created the position of diversity chairman to help promote the chapter’s culture of inclusion; our chapter is the first organization at Gettysburg to introduce a position of this nature. Finally, we hosted this year’s province conference, which helped prepare our new officers for their time in office.

~Andrew Milone, 2018

Hampden-Sydney Sigma Sigma

We were excited to welcome 10 potential new members into our spring 2016 pledge class, and our members looked forward to the chapter’s initiation ceremony in April, after working to improve their comprehension and performance of the Ritual. On Feb. 12, Hampden-Sydney swim team member and pledge Jack Dickerson set three school records for individual performances, in addition to contributing to another three records that the relay team set. Our chapter has seven members who play for the college’s lacrosse team, and we are especially proud of Connor Pool, 2018 , who scored five goals in a Feb. 17 match against Greensboro.

~Nicholas Sullivan, 2017

In recent months, we accepted five awards at the college’s Greek Awards ceremony that recognized us for excellence in leadership development, scholarship, service, personal growth, and friendship. We also received the 2015 Fraternity

Chapter of Excellence Award, which is a reflection of the hard work and dedication that each member of our Order possesses. In addition, we accepted the J. Dwight Peterson Most Improved Chapter Award at the Indiana State Day province conference. Our chapter recruited a pledge class of 20 potential new members during the winter term. They comprise our largest such class in more than a decade, and we look forward to their upcoming initiation into Sigma Chi.

~Jacob Baumann, 2017

Harvard Kappa Eta

Our chapter has undergone one of its most transformative periods in recent memory. After initiating the members of our largest-ever pledge class into the chapter, we find ourselves reinvigorated and focused on furthering our chapter’s reach. As always, our brothers have taken the initiative within our organization by making improvements to the chapter house and instituting programs designed to ease the transition between pledgeship and brotherhood. They have also taken the initiative outside of our chapter by involving themselves in the leadership of student organizations, community service programs and the student government association.

~Sun-Ui Yum, 2018

Hillsdale Alpha Kappa

Having entered the spring semester with renewed social privileges, our chapter continues to thrive and bring great value to Hillsdale College’s campus. This spring, we looked forward to another successful semester of philanthropy as we planned to host our annual March Madness three-on-three basketball tournament and our second-annual Fight Night philanthropic event for the entirety of campus to enjoy. In addition, we look forward to passing an amendment that will improve our succession plan

for the chapter’s top leadership positions. We began the 2015 to 2016 school year with an intense spirit of self-improvement, and were excited to continue to do so throughout the spring.

~Daniel Bellet, 2016

Idaho Gamma Eta

We were proud to initiate 17 new members into the chapter last fall. The 2015 to 2016 school year has proven that our hard work and perseverance can pay off, as we have earned the fraternity community’s best marks for grades with a 3.5 overall GPA as well as in philanthropy hours accrued. While our achievements bring us pride and happiness, we are determined to stave off complacency by making it our goal to better ourselves as individuals and as a brotherhood.

~Alex Hamilton, 2016

Illinois Kappa Kappa

We were proud to initiate 34 brothers into our chapter in December, and hoped to add another 10 deserving brothers in the spring. We have reached our goal of improving the chapter’s grades to exceed a 3.1 GPA, and we are humbled to announce that Liam McHugh, 2017, was elected as president of the Interfraternity Council, which represents 47 fraternities on campus. We are confident that the rich tradition of Sigma Chi at the University of Illinois will continue to live on through us.

~Vito Cali, 2017

Illinois Wesleyan Alpha Iota

Our brothers have experienced an eventful last couple of months in which we enjoyed success on a multitude of levels. One particular highlight took place when 14 of our members traveled to Honduras during winter break as part of a mission trip that worked with a community owned micro-enterprise with the purpose of teaching the local Hondurans sound business practices. In addition, our brothers taught local youth about the importance of saving money, and how this concept will help them achieve their future goals. We looked forward to hosting our annual Derby Days philanthropic event and ending the 2015 to 2016 academic year on a strong note.

During our busy and successful spring, we complemented our three existing philanthropic events — Dropping the Puck on Cancer, Faceoff for the Forces and Derby Days — with the Greek’s Give Back Habitat for Humanity Build, which is the brainchild of Austin Gilmore, 2018 . We look forward to another fall with brothers seeking leadership roles within the university’s Dance Marathon event and in other student organizations. We hope to continue our tradition of strong recruitment with Emmett Flood, 2016, as the chapter’s fall 2016 recruitment chairman.

~Reese Dorger, 2017

Indiana (Pennsylvania) Eta Omicron

This May, our chapter will graduate 22 senior brothers, and we recruited 17 potential new members for our spring 2016 class to help replace them. Consul Keith Hurley, 2016, was nominated to attend this summer’s Grand Council meeting. We raised $8,100 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute during last year’s Derby Days philanthropic event, and we look forward to breaking our fundraising record at our next Derby Days.

~Tanner Patton, 2016

Indiana State Theta Pi

This spring, our chapter pledged 10 new men whom we expected to initiate into Sigma Chi in April. We hosted our fifth-consecutive Derby Days philanthropic event in March; last year’s event raised more than $17,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and our goal for this year’s event was to raise more than $20,000.

~John Gibbons, 2016

Iowa State Beta Omicron

Our brothers had a spectacular fall semester that paved the way for a great spring. With the initiation of our fall pledge class, our membership now exceeds 80 members, with potential to break 100 members by 2017. This would make Sigma Chi one of the largest fraternities at Iowa State University, which is a status that has been out of our reach for years. In addition, our chapter will host several events this year, including the Central province conference, our third-consecutive Derby Days philanthropic event, and a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the chapter’s installation.

~Spencer Tinsman, 2017

Jacksonville Iota Gamma

We recruited two new pledges during the fall semester. While that is not a large number, we feel that they will add to our brotherhood once they are initiated into Sigma Chi. The chapter elected Travis Pulliam, 2016, and Peter Hidley, 2016, as Consul and Pro Consul, respectively, and we expect that we will continue to prosper under their leadership. While our Derby Days philanthropic event is not yet upon us, we are planning to make it a more successful event than what took place last year.

~Zachary Alligood, 2018

Johns Hopkins Kappa Upsilon

Our brothers kept themselves busy throughout the spring semester. After a successful February recruitment period, we welcomed the 13 potential new brothers who comprise the Pi class. We expected to initiate them into the chapter in early April, which would increase our membership to 42 brothers. Later in April, the brothers organized the inaugural Kappa Upsilon Day of Service, to which we refer by the acronym KUDOS, consisting of trips to local food shelters, cancer homes, and beautification projects around Baltimore. Our

members also helped make the university’s annual Relay for Life event one of its best ones yet.

~Lucas Rosen, 2018

Kansas Alpha Xi

This past fall, our brothers earned a 3.18 GPA, which exceeds the all-fraternity average. Our chapter is also very proud to implement the new Preparation for Brotherhood program; we give credit to Jordan Gilman, 2017, for leading that effort and participating at the international level by providing feedback and signing up to help train other Magisters at this summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. Also, the chapter’s efforts to recruit its fall 2016 pledge class are in full swing, and we made it our goal to recruit at least 30 pledges by May.

~Alex Bontz, 2016

Kansas State Delta Upsilon

We were excited to see our spring pledge class grow, and hoped to initiate all five of its members into our brotherhood. This spring, we reached out to our community by partnering with the organization No Stone Unturned. We expected our annual Derby Days philanthropic event to be one of the biggest our chapter has hosted in the past couple of years. Additionally, our chapter GPA has continued to improve, and now surpasses the all-men’s GPA. Finally, we recently won an intramural dodge ball tournament, and our softball team is preparing for a run at the title.

~Alan Shepley II, 2018

Kent State Zeta Lambda

We welcomed seven pledges into our brotherhood this spring and hosted our first alumni and family day, which enjoyed a wonderful turnout. We placed first overall in two major campus philanthropic events: Songfest and the Delta Zeta Sorority’s Lip Sync. The two events raised more than $100,000 for charity. We are proud to announce that the Sigma Chi Foundation has designated us as a Thomas Cowan Bell Chapter, and we extend our appreciation and thanks to the chapter’s alumni for their steadfast support of us. Our membership has increased to 59 brothers, and we look forward to the coming fall semester.

~Alexander Nichols, 2015

Kentucky Lambda Lambda

This spring, Lloyd Chatfield, 2018 , led a team of brothers in organizing the inaugural university-wide Spell-to-Read spelling bee competition. Teams of four competed in a spelling competition to see which team was the outright champion. All registration fees and donations went toward Reading Camp, which is an organization that provides free summer reading camps to students who are at risk or struggling in their reading abilities.

~John Tompkins, 2018

Kettering A Zeta Theta A

Our chapter is proud to have wrapped up another successful school term. We were lucky to initiate all of our fantastic spring pledges, and in our quest to increase our philanthropic efforts, we volunteered at various local charities including the Salvation Army Rehabilitation Center and a local marathon. Also, we raised roughly $1,900 to help fly a brother out to Thailand to meet his grandparents for the first time. We are proud of our accomplishments this term and can’t wait to see what our brotherhood has to offer next semester.

~Eric Butler, 2019

Kettering B Zeta Theta B

Over the past year, our chapter has reached new heights by committing more than 1,000 hours of community service, a chapter-best; by earning a 3.15 chapter GPA; and by engineering a very strong recruitment effort that saw 18 of the 22 potential new members we recruited accept their bids to join our chapter. We constantly strive to better ourselves and the communities that surround us, and are pleased that we have done exactly that.

~Harschal Patel, 2019

Louisville Iota Lambda

In February, we broke a chapter record by collecting 3,500 blankets for the homeless through our annual Wrap-Up Louisville event that is the brainchild of Trevor Joelson, 2009. Our chapter raised more than $10,000 for the university’s Dance Marathon, and received the award for top fundraising fraternity. We are also proud of the fact that we have earned the best fraternity GPA since at least 2008. Finally, we achieved a 95 percent retention rate for our fall pledge class, and had a 100 percent bid acceptance rate for our spring 2016 class.

~Connor Tracy, 2016

Loyola (Chicago) Lambda Nu

The men of our chapter have accomplished a great deal since the fall 2015 semester. We are proud to have earned the best GPA, a 3.41, among the university’s fraternities, and we hosted one of our largest-ever recruitment periods by inviting 25 men to take part in pledgeship through the Preparation for Brotherhood program. We look forward to the next eight weeks as we prepare them for initiation into Sigma Chi. This spring semester, we have made it our goal to keep building on our successes.

~Colin Angeles, 2016

Maine Rho Rho

The University of Maine recently decided to sell the Sigma Chi Heritage House back to our chapter. The university has appraised the house at around $510,000, and our alumni are working hard to make a plan to purchase it. The chapter is excited to be a part of the Preparation for Brotherhood program; this spring, our three pledges were to be educated under its curriculum. Also, the chapter revitalized its Derby Days philanthropic event this spring,

including a huge opening barbecue event with live band performances that encouraged participation from the entire campus.

~Nicholas Burpee, 2018

Marquette Iota Pi

Our brothers have enjoyed a successful spring semester, during which we have maintained our chapter GPA at its consistent level above the university’s all-male average. We increased our participation in various tutoring organizations in Milwaukee last fall to increase our total service hours, and we continued our strong leadership presence on the Interfraternity Council and numerous other campus organizations. We are working to make improvements to the chapter house and are very excited for the potential in the large spring pledge class whose members we recently initiated into Sigma Chi.

~Dana Potts, 2018

Maryland Gamma Chi

With 91 members, our chapter is proud to have become the largest fraternity on campus. Last year, we introduced our first spring philanthropic event, a 5K race to raise money for the children’s hospital at the University of Maryland Medical Center. However, we changed this year’s event to a volleyball tournament, called Derby Dig, in order to increase participation and enthusiasm in the event. Along with the success of Derby Dig, we also raised money for the hospital by hosting multiple David Mitchell clothing shows, with a percentage of the events’ sales benefiting the hospital.

~James Becker, 2018

MIT Alpha Theta

We are glad to have recently initiated 11 new brothers into Sigma Chi, and have spent this spring making memories with the brothers who are soon to graduate. Each one will leave our chapter with the knowledge that they had a meaningful impact on our organization and imparted wisdom to the underclassmen in many ways. At the time of this writing, we were preparing for our upcoming Derby Days and other philanthropic events around Boston. Our brothers continue to lead and do extremely well in the classroom and in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs and research organizations.

~Jack Dulsky, 2019

McGill Gamma Lambda

Undoubtedly, the highlight of our semester was hosting the St. Lawrence province conference, which had the largest turnout ever from every chapter within its boundaries. We continue to grow in numbers and influence on campus following the initiation of our five newest members into Sigma Chi, and we offer our congratulations to Jean-Louis Shi, 2016, who in February was elected president of the Engineering Undergraduate Society. Our academics and campus influence are as good as they have ever been, and with strong leaders now

at our chapter’s helm, we are on our way to being better than ever before.

~Lee Lai, 2017

Memphis Epsilon Kappa

With the addition of the chapter’s 22 newest members, our brotherhood now consists of 64 Sigs. We earned the fraternity community’s best grades last fall with a 3.18 GPA, and we were proud to take home a Peterson Significant Chapter Award for excellence in our operations and programming. The chapter hosted a bowling event that raised $1,200 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and participated in a Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics Greater Memphis that brought in around $1,100.

~Clayton Smith, 2018

Miami (Florida) Gamma Phi

We have a very excited and eager new class of 23 potential new members who have seemingly already grasped the ideals set forth within The Jordan Standard. On top of that, we have pulled off one of our chapter’s first successful Derby Days philanthropic event in recent history, raising more than $17,000 thanks to the enthusiastic involvement of our university’s sororities and women’s fraternities. We have had a much greater involvement from our members in other sororities’ philanthropies, as well. Overall, our chapter is looking forward to a productive rest of the semester.

~Christopher Palmer, 2017

Michigan Theta Theta

Our chapter began to thrive during the fall 2015 semester under the leadership of our newly elected executive officers. We recently participated in a philanthropic event sponsored by the university’s Greek-letter community called Winterfest that raised more than $6,000 for the Autism Alliance of Michigan. We also played in the Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity’s annual broomball tournament, and our brothers continue to succeed in their academic pursuits and in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. We initiated 23 members of our fall 2015 Nu pledge class into the chapter, and looked forward to initiating another large class into the chapter this spring.

~Andrew Fink, 2018

Michigan State Gamma Psi

The brothers at our chapter enjoyed a successful fall and carried that momentum into the spring. After completing renovations to the chapter house, we shifted our focus to the Cancer Classic, which is a charity hockey game created by A.J. Washeleski, 2016, that we expected to raise more than $15,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Finally, we have enjoyed the leadership provided by newly elected Consul Ryan Collins, 2017, and Pro Consul Dylan Hammer, 2018

~John Bach, 2016

Middle Tennessee Eta Gamma

This summer, we are excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our chapter's installation. We recruited a strong spring pledge class and continue to be one of the largest fraternities on campus. In addition, we partnered with Habitat for Humanity to help build a home for a local family.

~Zachary Hirt, 2017

Minnesota Alpha Sigma

In recent months, we completed renovations to our chapter house’s basement, and we have enjoyed hosting events in the new area. We were also happy to initiate 32 brothers into the Fraternity, and look forward to the great achievements that they will accomplish in the upcoming years. More recently, the chapter raised about $1,200 through a charity hockey event called Power Play on Cancer. We have also continued our commitment to Holy Rosary Church, which serves food to the less fortunate.

~John Prideaux, 2018

Mississippi Eta

Mississippi Blood Services (MBS) holds an annual meeting to honor many organizations for their services to the blood bank. Our chapter was one such organization, as MBS recognized us for hosting its best overall blood drive of 2015. The drive in question collected 1,245 units over a five-day period, and represented a 41 percent increase from the previous year.

~Austin Powell, 2017

Matt Rittman, PURDUE 2018 , participates in a chapter-sponsored blood drive on Feb. 22, 2016, at the Purdue chapter house. The chapter won the Indiana Blood Center’s Greek Challenge Award in 2015 for donating the most blood of any Greek-letter organization at Purdue.

Mississippi State Gamma Upsilon

We accepted the award for earning the best fall 2015 fraternity GPA for initiated brothers as well as for potential new members. In addition, Drew Taylor, 2016 won the Greek Man of the Year Award at our university’s annual Ritter Awards ceremony.

Hunt Walne, 2017, was recently elected vice president of the student association. We expected that this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event, led by Derby Daddy Lee Peeples, 2016, would break a chapter fundraising record by raising more than $90,000 for the CatchA-Dream Foundation.

~William Basden, 2018

Missouri S&T Theta Eta

In recent months, we implemented a new monthly scholarship competition wherein whichever brother logs the greatest number of study hours wins a cash prize. We entered the Greek Sing competition, which is a “battle of the bands” competition between Greek-letter organizations. During it, we performed the songs I’m a Believer and Space Jam. We are still in the process of making additions to the chapter house’s landscaping, including a new flower bed. Finally, this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event was superhero-themed, and as of this writing we were confident that it would be a smashing success.

~Jared Flood, 2017

Missouri State Eta Kappa

Our brothers have worked hard to increase the chapter’s GPA with the assistance of our revamped scholastic program. Former Consul Dustin Keyhill, 2016, was elected as the Interfraternity Council’s vice president of recruitment. Our chapter has also successfully transitioned to the leadership of its new executive officers. In the height of our success, we look forward to a successful fall 2016 recruitment that will precede the 45th anniversary of our chapter’s installation.

~Andrew Hocker, 2017

Missouri-Columbia Xi Xi

Our chapter was pleased to initiate an outstanding pledge class into Sigma Chi last fall, and looked

forward to bringing another class of brothers into the Fraternity this spring. The entire Greek-letter community at Mizzou was excited to participate in our annual Derby Days philanthropic event, and we also worked with the men of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity to host our second-annual Slap Shot on Cancer event in March. In addition, we were excited to participate in the university’s Greek Week activities; Alex Boyd, 2017, and Blake Bougadis, 2017, represent our chapter as members of the event’s steering committee.

~Berry Brooks, 2017

Montana Beta Delta

This spring, we recruited four great young men who are in the midst of their pledgeship, and many of our newest members have stepped into executive roles within the chapter. We are continuing to improve our community and alumni relations through various philanthropic events. This spring, we continue to strive to maintain a high overall GPA and look forward to the upcoming fall semester, when we will celebrate the 110th anniversary of our chapter’s installation.

~Eric Mosley, 2017

Murray State Epsilon Tau

In February, our chapter hosted its second-annual Spring Homecoming event, at which we recognized Tim Miller, 1966, and Gabe Hobbs, 1978 , who received the Fraternity’s Significant Sig Award in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The event raised thousands of dollars that we put toward the debt owed on our chapter house. Five potential new brothers accepted their bids at the conclusion of our spring recruitment week, and we are now utilizing the Preparation for Brotherhood program for the second semester. Using the program’s curriculum, our Magister and the active chapter work to mold the pledges into the best men and Sigma Chis they can possibly be.

~Zachary Bogard, 2017

Nebraska Alpha Epsilon

After a successful fall 2015 semester, our chapter hit the ground running this spring by recruiting 12 diverse pledges with an assortment of different temperaments, talents, and convictions. Spring also brings us our Derby Days philanthropic event, which everyone is completely excited to take part in. Last year, our brothers raised more than $6,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute through Derby Days. This year, we hope to vastly increase that number. With a new team of executive officers elected, retreats planned, a province conference in Iowa, Parents Weekend and initiation, we all have so much to look forward to.

~Michael True, 2018

New Hampshire Lambda Sigma

Our brothers conducted one of their most successful recruitments last fall, adding nine quality

men to our brotherhood in the process. We are also excited to announce that we have taken the first step toward obtaining a chapter house. Twelve brothers are renting a former fraternity house located near the university’s other Greek-letter housing; even though this is not an officially registered fraternity house, it has potential to become one in the future. The house will create a common place where brothers can hang out, play lawn games and create lasting relationships with surrounding Greek-letter organizations.

~Benjamin Mager, 2016

New Haven Lambda Epsilon

Our recruitment committee worked hard to find quality potential new members this spring, and produced 11 outstanding men who accepted their bids and started our formal pledge process. Our chapter had just begun to aggressively fundraise for its Derby Days philanthropic event at the time of this writing, and we are happy to report that we have raised almost $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute in just three weeks. In addition to Derby Days, we are working to revitalize our annual event benefiting the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. We hope to continue striving forward this semester, and wish all of our fellow chapters success.

~Steven Green, 2018

New Mexico State Zeta Phi

With the initiation of the members of our fall 2015 Omicron pledge class, we added 11 men to our membership. In addition, our chapter’s cumulative philanthropic efforts totaled $1,200 between a raffle event and raising money for Toys for Tots. Our philanthropic performance is mirrored by our academic achievement, as we earned the best cumulative fraternity GPA and exceeded the all-student average. Additionally, Ryan Gamboa, 2015, accepted the Province Balfour Leadership Award for his leadership in the fall.

~Ryan Kirby, 2016

North Alabama Eta Rho

At the end of the fall 2015 semester, we initiated 19 new members into our brotherhood and earned the university’s second-highest fraternity GPA. Thanks to Grand Trustee and Order of Constantine Sig Scott Ross, MISSISSIPPI STATE 1982 , we have completed the necessary requirements to obtain Ritual certification. We now look forward to progressively improving our chapter as the spring semester continues on.

~Cameron Byroad, 2018

North Carolina Alpha Tau

Philanthropy has been a common thread throughout our chapter’s spring semester, as we have taken part in events that have raised money and awareness for local and national issues. We were honored to have another of our alumni, Jack Sussman, 1978 , accept the Significant Sig Award.

Our capital campaign continues to grow, and we expect to schedule renovations to the chapter house to take place within the next few years. Our Derby Days philanthropic event chairmen are hard at work planning for this fall’s event; last year, we reached our goal of raising $30,000 for charity, and hope to reach that mark again.

~Connor Brooks, 2018

North Carolina State Delta Epsilon

After initiating 19 brothers into the chapter last fall, we look forward to initiating five potential new members this spring. We were also excited to host our annual Derby Days philanthropic event, which took place the second week of March. All proceeds from the event went to the Frankie Lemmon School and Developmental Center for children with special needs. Late last semester, Hayes Griggs, 2017, was elected president of the Interfraternity Council for 2016. The chapter also recently elected its new executive officers that will take over in April, and they are excited to take on the challenges that next year will bring.

~Thomas Welborn, 2017

North Carolina-Charlotte Mu Alpha

Our brothers have spent the spring 2016 semester working to improve the chapter as we approached the first anniversary of our installation. We recruited another great pledge class to help us increase the number of events that we host. Next semester, we plan to facilitate our inaugural Derby Days philanthropic event. We still have many aspects of the event left to plan, but we are confident that it will be an overwhelming success.

~Joseph Frederick, 2017

North Dakota Beta Zeta

This spring, our chapter was thrilled and blessed to host the North Central province’s annual conference, which brought together more than 140 brothers from as far as 350 miles away. Our chapter has undertaken plans to refurbish its 99-year-old Steinway and Sons piano and continue to make improvements to the chapter house. As the semester progresses, we are proud to assist Brandon Beyer, 2017, in his race to become president of the student body.

~Matthew Adamson, 2018

North Dakota State Gamma Tau Along with our Sweetheart Formal, our brothers have given a new look to our Derby Days philanthropic event. Headed by Alex Reimers, 2018 , this year’s Derby Days features new events and activities that have not been used in the past. We also looked forward to the return of the chapter’s parent and alumni banquet on April 9, which allows alumni to re-engage with the chapter and the Ritual while showing our parents what Sigma Chi is all about. If you wish to attend any of our events, including our alumni Ritual meeting, or just wish

to get involved, contact Franklin Berg, 2016, at franklin.berg@ndsu.edu.

~Berg

North Florida Kappa Beta

This fall, our brothers were involved yet again in all aspects of life at the University of North Florida, becoming presidents of clubs and members of numerous departments on campus, including student government and new student orientation. We won nearly every sorority- and women’s fraternity-hosted philanthropic event during the fall semester in which we participated, and we volunteered more than 800 hours with various charities throughout the community. In addition, we joined the brothers at Jacksonville University to host our annual tailgate party prior to the Florida vs. Georgia football game. Finally, we added 10 new brothers to our ranks through the Preparation for Brotherhood program.

~Ean Gomez, 2017

North Georgia Theta Epsilon

The men of our chapter enjoyed a successful recruitment this spring, with 20 new pledges comprising our Beta Omega pledge class. We have focused heavily on expanding our philanthropic efforts, as we took part in a community service day with our partners at Habitat for Humanity and established a new and especially constructive fundraising event. The inaugural Santa’s Dahlonega Dash was on Dec. 5, and our brothers put forth notable efforts to cultivate what became an impressive scamper across the mountain town. We also continue to explore ideas for our Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Avery Williams, 2018

North Texas Iota Phi

We are more than excited to announce that we finished the fall 2015 semester with the best grades among the university’s Greek-letter community, proving that we are students of fair ability. The fraternity and sorority community at North Texas now includes more than 2,000 members, and we are proud to say that we brought in our first doubledigit pledge class in a number of years this spring, and initiated 12 members into Sigma Chi. We look forward to seeing how successful our executive officers will be in their new roles, and our implicit confidence has been placed in them to lead us efficiently this coming year.

~Jason Felts, 2018

Northern Arizona Zeta Omicron

We initiated 22 promising new brothers into Sigma Chi last fall and began a new Bubble Bash Soccer philanthropic event, with all proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project. Teams of five competed while wearing blow-up bubble suits and playing soccer. Based on the new event’s success, we expect to make it an annual occurrence. At the time of this writing, we were preparing for our Derby Days

philanthropic event with a goal of raising $25,000 for charity and looking forward to our annual spring philanthropic event alongside the brothers of the Delta Chi Fraternity, called Chi Ultimatum.

~Michael Robbins, 2017

Northwestern Omega

One of our chapter’s major accomplishments this year has been establishing a memorial scholarship in honor of John Thumel, 2015, who passed away last summer. We have raised nearly $100,000 for the scholarship, which is enough to ensure that it will be a lasting testament to his life. Our Derby Days philanthropic event raised around $32,000 for Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, earning the chapter silver status as hospital donors. Our newly elected officers are Consul Michael Weston, 2018; Pro Consul Kevin O’Rourke, 2018; Annotator Evan Tesei, 2018; and Quaestor Alex West, 2018 . Finally, we again earned a chapter GPA that exceeds the all-fraternity and all-student averages.

~Weston

Ohio State Alpha Gamma

This spring semester had a lot in store for the brothers of our chapter, such as welcoming a large spring pledge class into our brotherhood. We are excited to see what contributions this promising group will bring to our chapter. Our main priority this spring was preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event; we had confidence in the very exciting planned week of events, and aimed to raise a substantial amount of money to donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute and contribute to Sigma Chi’s mission to end cancer.

~Benjamin McMillan, 2018

Oklahoma Beta Kappa

Last year, we hosted our Christmas philanthropy event for a third consecutive year. At our event, we paired with the sisters of the Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity to benefit 20 underprivileged children, along the way decorating cookies, singing Christmas carols, arranging a visit from Santa Claus and opening gifts. The chapter’s first-ever Derby Days brunch raised $8,591.53, and was a great way to kick-off our fundraising efforts for our Derby Days philanthropic event. In addition, we hosted a fall carnival with the women of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity benefiting Soonerthon and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

~Mackenzie Milburn, 2019

Oklahoma State Gamma Delta

We recently pinned seven pledges as we took our first steps into the Preparation for Brotherhood program. We are impressed by the support and participation that our alumni and undergraduates have offered as we work to make hazing a thing of the past. Our chapter began to host alumni dinner events this spring, at which alumni share with undergraduates what Sigma Chi means to them and

how it has led them to where they are today. These events are great opportunities for brothers to meet with alumni and see the impact that Sigma Chi can have on their lives.

~Andrew Mason, 2018

Oregon Beta Iota

Our chapter was ramping up its efforts for spring recruitment at the time of this writing, which is something that we haven’t done in recent years. Recruitment chairmen Andy Werderman, 2017, and Dolan Jones, 2017, are very excited for the opportunity to identify future Sigma Chis, and have been busy planning events for potential new members. We also finished a successful Derby Days philanthropic event that raised more than $60,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Part of Derby Days included a skit auction where Michael Menefee, 2018 , and Caden Culp, 2019, played guitar and sang for members of our university’s sororities and women’s fraternities.

~Werderman

Oregon State Beta Pi

The past quarter represented a time for us to rejuvenate our brotherhood’s presence on campus. We participated in several philanthropic events sponsored by Greek-letter organizations, such as the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity’s Tug-of-War, and won every event in which we participated. In addition, we volunteered to clean up trash as part of the Willamette Restoration Project and cleaned Simpson Park in Albany, Ore. We recently hosted our annual sweetheart getaway in Pacific City along the Oregon coast; the Pacific Northwest weather was merciful, and the sun shone down on us for the duration of our outing.

~Todd King, 2016

Ottawa Lambda Theta

This summer looks to be a very busy one for the brothers of our chapter. We welcomed undergraduates and alumni from across Ontario and Quebec to our third-annual alumni golf tournament, and sent many brothers to attend the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit and Balfour Leadership Training Workshop in order to help grow our organization. We have also partaken in the Greek-letter community’s softball and volleyball leagues. We also had brothers take part in the HOPE beach volleyball tournament, which is a philanthropic event that raises money for various local charities.

~Julien Boissonnault, 2016

Pacific Kappa Sigma

A number of our beloved seniors graduated from the university in May, thus setting the stage for many younger brothers to take the helm within the chapter. The well-versed concept of “bridge building” was as important as ever during the past 18 months, as many seniors were determined to leave their legacy on their younger counterparts

and the organization that gave them much more than they would have ever expected. In other news, Wyatt Bacon, 2017, and Matt Monges, 2017, were elected president and vice president of the student government, respectively.

~Shawn Lothman, 2018

Penn State Alpha Chi

Our brothers extended 27 bids to potential members of the chapter’s fall 2015 pledge class, all of which were accepted. In December, we initiated everyone in the pledge class into Sigma Chi, and our spring 2016 pledge class had nine members whom we expected to initiate in early April. We have also thrived in our philanthropic efforts by raising $165,000 for Penn State’s THON, and we made it our goal to again raise more than $20,000 for our Derby Days philanthropic event in April. We hope all of our fellow chapters are doing well, and finish this spring semester in strong fashion.

~Maxwell Miller, 2018

Pennsylvania Phi Phi

After recruiting a dynamic class of young men this spring, our chapter will remain one of the largest and most active fraternities on campus. The chapter is currently undertaking its tremendous annual tradition that is the Derby Days philanthropic event, and we are working toward the goal of raising $20,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We expected to graduate 28 seniors in May, and their time and dedication to the chapter and Sigma Chi has been invaluable. They will be greatly missed.

~Shamus Clancy, 2016

Pittsburg State Zeta Iota

Our chapter has made moves toward reaching new levels of success on campus and within the chapter. With a 10-man pledge class composed of carefully selected gentlemen, plans for a more efficient Derby Days philanthropic event and several chapter house renovations in the works, our brothers were excited to participate in an excellent spring 2016 semester.

~Thomas Williams, 2017

Pittsburgh Beta Theta

After our first spring in which we participated in deferred recruitment, we are proud to say that the hard work of recruitment chairman Peter Kush, 2016, produced our fraternity community’s largest pledge class with 23 men. Our chapter continued its participation in the annual Wrap-Up America philanthropic event by donating nearly 1,500 blankets to the homeless. Former Consul Kevin Cox, 2017, was also elected president of the Interfraternity Council for the 2016 to 2017 academic year. We continue our strong alumni and parent engagement efforts, and are extremely proud of the strides we have made this year.

~Cox

Princeton Sigma

Our chapter enjoyed another successful semester this past fall. We initiated the members of our most recent pledge class into the chapter on Dec. 5, 2015. This past year, we welcomed visiting alumni back to our chapter in record numbers. We looked forward to hosting another White Rose Ceremony for President Grover Cleveland, MICHIGAN 1893 , on March 25, 2016; selecting our new chapter sweetheart in the spring of 2016; and finding our next class of brothers in the fall.

~Carlos Sotelo, 2017

Puget Sound Delta Phi

Despite a delay in our ability to distribute bids to potential new members, we recruited a sizeable pledge class that we are excited to see initiated into our brotherhood in the fall. We recently elected Matty Specht, 2017, and Johnny Teahan, 2018 , as our new Consul and Pro Consul, respectively, and look forward to the great heights that our other officers and new executive committee members are sure to reach.

~Brandon Schneider, 2016

Purdue Delta Delta

Our brotherhood remains strong following the initiation of the chapter’s 24 newest members. Over the holidays, our brothers paired with the sisters of the Delta Gamma Fraternity to host a Jubilee Christmas event for underprivileged families. With a new Grand Prix garage in place, our racing team is better prepared than ever before and is working hard to bring home a victory for Sigma Chi. We installed advanced teleconferencing equipment in January to allow undergraduate brothers to have

monthly fireside chats with successful alumni who share professional advice and maintain a strong connection with the chapter.

~John Reid, 2018

Radford Kappa Zeta

This spring, our brothers stayed involved on campus by participating in the annual polar plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. We also had a blast hosting the annual Sigs vs. Pigs softball game with the local police department. Our chapter’s founders also met with brothers to interview them for the Michael Leroy Drummond Scholarship, which is unique to our chapter and was created to help undergraduates succeed in school and life.

~Brett Beavon, 2015

Rensselaer Delta Psi

After initiating 16 young men into our Order last fall, we have recruited seven more to embark upon the path to brotherhood. They hope to join our ranks of 75 leaders and scholars whose efforts have spearheaded campaigns within the student senate and led to the continued academic successes that place us among the top fraternities on campus. In terms of philanthropy, our chapter is pushing to raise at least $7,000 more than the $20,000 that we collected for charity last year. We also held a successful Pinewoods Dinner event, to which we invited professors, deans and neighbors.

~Evan Barr, 2016

Rhode Island Delta Sigma

Our brothers had a strong first full year in their new chapter house. Thanks to the guidance of Consul Tom Kroon, 2016, and Pro Consul Jay Pjojian, 2016, we earned the highest GPA of any fraternity on campus. We raised more than $2,000 during the fall 2015 semester for the Huntsman Cancer Institute thanks to the success of our Derby Days philanthropic event. With our different temperaments, talents, and convictions, we look forward to remaining prominent as the only chapter with an on-campus, house corporation-owned chapter house in the Connecticut/Rhode Island province.

~Keegan Jordan, 2018

Richmond Epsilon Rho

We are excited to announce that we initiated 20 new brothers into the Fraternity this spring semester. Our chapter, now composed of 80 individuals, is at its largest size in recent memory and is coming off one of its best academic performances, having placed second among Interfraternity Council chapters with a 3.31 GPA. Brothers have been active leaders in more than 20 different campus organizations, ranging from investment clubs to environmental initiatives, and are looking forward to continuing their community service efforts throughout the upcoming fall 2016 semester.

~Jonathan Willmot, 2017

Ripon Epsilon Lambda

We are happy to announce that we recruited 10 highly regarded gentlemen into our most recent pledge class. The chapter is anxious and excited about participating in the new Preparation for Brotherhood program, but all seems to be going well so far. Additionally, we earned the best fraternity GPA on campus in our most recent grade report. In the future, we will look to stay on top and increase our overall GPA. We also looked forward to our annual bags tournament, which remains the largest philanthropic event of the spring semester. Our chapter wishes the best of luck to its new executive officers; we know they will accomplish great things.

~Will Crist, 2016

Roanoke Tau

As our spring 2016 semester got underway, we turned over our executive board to Scott Ward, 2017, and Christian Smith, 2017, whom we elected as Consul and Pro Consul, respectively. Our chapter initiated two new brothers into its ranks last fall, and recruited 14 new pledges this spring. That many pledges represents a large number for our membership, as we currently have 24 initiated brothers in our chapter. We are excited to write a new chapter in our long and storied history at Roanoke College.

~Frederick Stucker, 2017

Rochester Gamma Pi

Our chapter recently welcomed back brothers who took part in our eighth-annual philanthropic trip to the Dominican Republic. While there, they built latrines and gave baseball equipment to local children. Additionally, we started a youth outreach program in which brothers attend a local elementary school on Wednesday mornings, and we have continued to raise money for programs that assist Syrian refugees. Our brothers have competed well in athletics, highlighted by Michelangelo Bertocchi, 2018 , who won his squash match in the national title game against Yale, which ultimately ended in Yale’s 5-4 win over Rochester.

~Joseph Jenkins, 2018

R.I.T. Lambda Kappa

Our chapter kicked off its spring 2016 semester with a strong recruitment period and extended bids to eight worthy gentlemen. The spring months had a lot in store for our brothers with occurrences such as our Beach Day event, Derby Days philanthropic event and initiation. In addition, we were granted the honor of installing the new chapter at Hobart College on April 9, 2016. That day also marked the fifth anniversary of our own installation, which we planned to celebrate by hosting an extravagant ball sometime later in the spring.

~Matt Bernstein, 2016

Rutgers Iota Psi

This spring, we initiated 19 young men into Sigma Chi and hosted the 25th-anniversary celebration of our chapter’s installation. We were also able to successfully kick-start our fundraising efforts to purchase our current house, thanks to the generous donations from our alumni. Notably, chapter founding father Ryan Temby, 1990, got the night started by presenting us with a handsome $5,000 contribution. Now, we plan to end the semester on a high note, with a great showing at Dance Marathon and a boat mixer held with this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event winner, the sisters of the Gamma Phi Beta Fraternity.

~Anthony Barone, 2018

St. Thomas Iota Tau

We initiated seven new brothers into our chapter from the fall 2015 pledge class, and conducted a non-student initiation for a worthy candidate from another university in February. In January, we received a community honor roll award from the city of St. Paul, Minn., and a plaque honoring our community clean-up efforts that now rests in city hall. Toward the end of our spring 2016 term, we hoped to initiate nine new brothers into Sigma Chi and host a strong Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Tyler Trudell, 2016

Sam Houston Epsilon Psi

We initiated 23 men into our chapter last fall; the new brothers are a very hard-working group of individuals who earned a pledge-class GPA of 3.08. This spring, we recruited five outstanding and intelligent pledges whom we hope to mold into leaders of men. At the time of this writing, we expected to complete construction on our new state-of-the-art chapter room by the end of March, thanks to the generous contributions of our alumni.

~Isidro Salazar, 2017

Samford Pi

For the first three weeks of spring, we participated in the university’s popular Step Sing competition. After winning last year’s contest, we were disappointed to not place in this year’s event but nonetheless, we felt privileged to have performed there with our brothers. We completed a membership review on Feb. 20, 2016, and while we do not know what the future holds for some of our brothers, we are certain that our brotherhood is still one of the best on campus. We expected one of our brothers to run for student government association president this spring, and we were all excited to support him in that process.

~Thomas Moran, 2017

San Jose State Epsilon Theta

We welcomed the spring 2016 semester with the initiation of 12 new brothers into our Order. We are also very excited to guide our seven new pledges through their journey into brotherhood. After having

participated in a very informative Ritual retreat held by our provincial leadership team in February, our chapter is now excited to tackle our next challenge: raising even more money for Huntsman Cancer Institute through our annual weeklong Derby Days philanthropic event and surpassing the amount we raised last year, a record-setting $15,000.

~Nicklaus Perry, 2016

Santa Clara Lambda Gamma

Our brothers enjoyed initiating all 31 members of our Theta pledge class into the chapter this past quarter. While we shortened the pledgeship period in advance of next year’s new Preparation for Brotherhood program, we believe that our new initiates still learned all the lessons necessary to becoming well-prepared Sigma Chis. In addition, we hosted a fun and successful Chi Wizard tournament alongside the sisters of the Alpha Phi International Fraternity. Looking forward, we were excited for our spring formal that took place in Santa Barbara.

~Nicholas Redfield, 2018

South Alabama Eta Epsilon

Our chapter had another successful spring as we wished our graduating seniors good luck on their new endeavors. Our annual alumni crawfish boil has continued to grow each year, and our alumni relations are at an all-time high. We have started the process of reaching out to the Biloxi (Miss.) Alumni Chapter by inviting them to participate in our annual Derby Days philanthropic event. We added another strong spring pledge class and look forward to a big fall. We hope for another great Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, where we hope to win our third Peterson Significant Chapter Gold Award.

~John Calametti, 2017

South Florida Theta Beta

In order to demonstrate our ambition to reach our maximum potential, we prioritized our academic performance in the fall 2015 semester and maintained our chapter GPA. Our brothers took the initiative by becoming involved with various organizations around campus, including the athletics department and student ambassador positions. We effectively trained our pledge class by prioritizing the installment of values, academic performance, and campus involvement. We looked forward to maintaining a positive image throughout spring 2016 as we continued our efforts to exceed all standard expectations and reach our maximum potential on campus.

~Jake Iurato, 2018

Southeast Missouri Epsilon Phi

Our brothers finished off the 2015 to 2016 school year with another exciting spring semester. We initiated the members of our spring pledge class into the chapter under the leadership of Magister Brett Strebel, 2017, and Kustos Michael Pham, 2018 We are pleased to announce that we successfully

registered more than 300 people to be placed on the bone marrow donor list maintained by deletebloodcancer.org. Our chapter raised the most money of any fraternity on campus for philanthropic purposes. We enjoyed another spring formal in Memphis, Tenn., and are looking forward to our summer float trip as well as the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop.

~Brian Zielinski, 2017

Southern Illinois Lambda Omicron

Our brothers are striving to improve upon the success they achieved in the previous academic year. From only being colonized three years ago, our chapter has since grown to include more than 20 proud members, with another eight who hoped to become brothers in the spring. Along with our chapter’s growth, we have exceeded expectations in our philanthropy with our Adopt a Spot program, involvement in campus events such as the university’s Homecoming parade, and participating in the Theta Xi Fraternity’s spring semester variety show. As we approached our annual Derby Days philanthropic event, we hoped to surpass our donation goal while finishing the year strong academically.

~M’Ti Pharos, 2018

Southern Methodist Delta Mu

We raised more than $20,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute during our Derby Days philanthropic event, and we paired with the sisters of the Delta Delta Delta Fraternity for this year’s Sing Song ensemble and our next Homecoming. Moreover, our alumni Big Brother program has been a success in partnering alumni with pledges. We are also proud to announce that we initiated 31 new brothers into Sigma Chi. Finally, we would like to thank all of our departing seniors for their hard work and dedication to this chapter and Fraternity.

~Tyler Roberts, 2018

Southern Mississippi Theta Delta

The brothers of our chapter have enjoyed a fine year of success. Quaestor Jacob McNeese, 2018 , was inducted into Southern Style, among the most prestigious organizations on campus, and former recruitment chairman Blake Windham, 2017, was elected the Interfraternity Council’s vice president of recruitment and retention. In addition, we are proud of Thomas McDonnell, 1986, who accepted one of the Fraternity’s 2015 Significant Sig awards. At the time of this writing, we were working to finish our spring 2016 recruitment efforts and prepare to host further recruitment activities in the fall.

~Donald Motter, 2018

Southern Utah Kappa Iota

Recently, our chapter had the opportunity to visit the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City as part of our annual province conference. There, we delivered graduation blankets to the

hospital — which are given to patients who have completed their chemotherapy treatments — that we made during the service night of our previous two recruitment weeks. This was a great experience for our chapter, as we were able to see first-hand what our philanthropic efforts support.

~Mitchell Hillyard, 2017

Spring Hill Theta Mu

We conducted our spring recruitment at the beginning of the semester, and produced 16 pledges out of 21 bids. Theirs is the largest pledge class we have recruited since we regained university recognition three years ago, and doing so has been a great step in our effort to rebuild our chapter. As they began their pledgeship, we were excited to teach them how to represent and become Sigma Chis.

~Topher Douglas, 2017

Stanford Alpha Omega

The spring 2016 quarter was a strong one for our members, as we recruited a strong new pledge class whose members will contribute to our chapter. In February, we hosted a Bay Area province workshop to which we welcomed delegates from three other undergraduate chapters, as well as past Grand Historian and 62nd Grand Consul Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973 , and Grand Tribune Bob Wilson, FORT HAYS 1981 . Both are Order of Constantine Sigs, and Carlson is a Significant Sig. We were excited to use some of the lessons we learned at the workshop in our recruitment efforts.

~Jordan Wallach, 2017

Stephen F. Austin Eta Tau

We began the spring 2016 semester by recruiting Ronnie Elgin, 2018; Terrence George, 2019; and Vinny Ciabattoni, 2018; into our latest pledge class. We look forward to teaching them the true meaning of brotherhood, and developing them into contributing members of our chapter. At the time of this writing, we were attempting to assist the university community by contributing to several charitable events. We made it our goal for the spring to stay on top of our grades and looked forward to having a great spring semester, and prove why Sigma Chi is truly the best place to be.

~Nicolas Irene, 2019

Syracuse Psi Psi

This spring, we offered 8 men membership in our chapter, giving us a total of 26 pledges. Our Derby Days philanthropic event records crumbled when we generated more than $22,000 for charity, and we were honored to have hosted the Northwestern New York province conference for our fellow upstate chapters. We are also proud of our Thomas Cowan Bell Chapter status for at least another semester. Our goal is to increase our campus involvement in the semesters to come.

~Alex Magers, 2017

Tampa Kappa Omega

We are very proud of our chapter’s current standing. Throughout the fall, we increased our presence at the University of Tampa by improving our philanthropic and academic achievement. We raised more than $5,000 for cancer research while earning the campus’s best Interfraternity Council chapter GPA. We are also excited to have welcomed 12 new brothers into our chapter, all of whom reflect our values and are eager to join in the chapter’s continual improvement.

~Dillon Decker, 2017

Tarleton State Kappa Xi

We wrapped up another successful academic year this spring by maintaining a 100 percent acceptance rate among the bids we presented to potential new members. We also earned the university’s second-best fraternity GPA. Our weeklong Derby Days philanthropic event raised more money than all of our other charitable fundraising events combined, and as we approach the fall 2016 semester, we look forward to celebrating the 20th anniversary of our chapter’s installation.

~Kyle Kirby, 2018

Tennessee Tech Eta Delta

Our chapter hoped to take steps this summer to plan our fall recruitment events. We also hosted our annual alumni golf tournament; it was one of our most successful thus far, thanks to a tremendous increase in alumni participation. We believe this is due to the use of our new, annually updated email list. We have raised a good amount of money internally, using it to improve chapter house rooms, update our volleyball court, and deep-clean the chapter house’s exterior.

~Benjamin Vincent, 2017

Tennessee-Chattanooga Delta Theta

Along with recruiting 13 new pledges, we enjoyed our third-straight victory this spring in the university’s annual Greek Show. The money raised from the show went to establishing a scholarship in memory of Shelby Glisson, a local member of the Sigma Kappa Sorority who passed away from lung cancer. Our brothers hold leadership positions on the Interfraternity Council as vice president of finances and vice president of recruitment, student government president, and newly elected members on the Homecoming committee. Finally, we have started a bimonthly bible study program for member of our fraternity and sorority community that has seen great success.

~William Harden, 2017

Tennessee-Knoxville Beta Sigma

The brothers of our chapter enjoyed another productive and successful semester this spring. In January, we initiated the members of our fall 2015 pledge class into Sigma Chi and recruited 12 outstanding young men to our spring 2016 pledge

class, whom we believe can live up to the qualities listed in The Jordan Standard. We looked forward to our upcoming Derby Days philanthropic event, through which we hoped to drastically improve the lives of many by making a contribution to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Now, we are preparing to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our installation, and are excited for the year ahead.

~Andrew Robinson, 2018

Tennessee-Martin Kappa Psi

Our brothers started the spring semester in strong fashion by winning the university’s annual Greek Week competition; the following week, we enjoyed a 100 percent bid acceptance rate from the members of our spring pledge class. Three of our brothers applied to attend this summer’s Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit in Snowbird, Utah. All of our members have come together to make improvements to our chapter house, which we are improving by installing a new sprinkler system that our house corporation purchased with a loan from the Risk Management Foundation.

~Taylor Martin, 2017

Texas A&M-College Station Eta Upsilon

The spring 2016 semester was very special for the men of our chapter, as we celebrated the 40th anniversary of our installation. The celebration brought brothers of all ages together to bond over the past, present and future of the chapter. Following a successful joint philanthropic event with a sorority on campus, we hoped to have the most successful fundraising semester in our chapter’s history. Initiating the members of last fall’s pledge class has allowed us to increase our local tutoring program within the community. We have also increased involvement on campus, with multiple brothers running for positions within our student government association.

~Ryan Walters, 2017

Texas A&M-Commerce Zeta Eta

Our chapter has enjoyed another great year on campus. We initiated eight brothers last fall, increasing the size of our chapter to 40 members, earned the third-best fraternity GPA on campus, and improved our relations with the university’s sororities and women’s fraternities. We expected the spring semester to be a strong one for our brothers, and we looked forward to initiating the five members of our latest pledge class into the chapter. This spring, we looked look forward to hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event, a highway pickup, and initiation.

~Brenton Harrison, 2018

Texas A&M-Kingsville Zeta Pi

We got our spring semester off to a terrific start by holding our brotherhood retreat at the ranch belonging to 66th Grand Consul Wayne Tucker, BAYLOR 1985, who was a very gracious host. We are looking forward to hosting this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event and raising a substantial amount of money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. On another note, our chapter extended 11 bids to potential new members, all of whom accepted and were learning about Sigma Chi through the Preparation for Brotherhood program at the time of this writing.

~Jesus Avila, 2019

Texas Christian Epsilon Mu

After a successful winter recruitment, our chapter welcomed 10 candidates into its first-ever spring pledge class; at the time of this writing, we planned to initiate them into Sigma Chi on April 2. On Feb. 20, we hosted our annual Mom’s Weekend, which featured pledge class dinners and a tour of the Rahr and Sons Brewing Co., which took place thanks in part to Will Rahr, 2018 . On April 16, the chapter hosted its Dad’s Weekend, in which the brothers and their fathers played a round at The Golf Club Fossil Creek in Fort Worth, Texas.

~Mason Le Donne, 2017

Texas State Theta Tau

The spring semester was very eventful for our brothers. We initiated a spring pledge class of 10 excellent young leaders into the chapter, and worked to improve our GPA. Our annual White Rose formal in New Orleans was a huge hit, and we raised more money than ever before for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This summer, our chapter celebrates the 30th anniversary of our installation, and we could not be more proud of that milestone. We now look forward to our many plans for the fall 2016 semester, and pledge to strive for the White Cross along every step of the way.

~Nicholas Spedale, 2018

Texas-Arlington Theta Kappa

We recently hosted a record number of brotherhood events with impressive attendance, thanks to

the efforts of our brotherhood chairman, who introduced a new recognition program that pushes brothers to excel. We expected to have nearly 100 percent attendance at the university’s Big Event in April, when we helped facilitate a Special Olympics baseball game. The chapter’s scholarship programming also flourished as we attended or hosted three academic seminars and improved our faculty relations. Our actions have made our chapter more beloved and respected by our own brothers.

~Chandler Garrard, 2017

Texas-Austin Alpha Nu

Looking ahead to another wonderful semester, we were excited to participate in our Derby Days philanthropic event this spring and hoped to raise more than $40,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. More than 50 of our brothers participated in our community road cleaning project, and we have continued our efforts to mentor young children at the local Wooldridge Elementary School. We have also tried to keep in touch with the patient we have sponsored at Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas, Nicholas, as he undergoes another round of chemotherapy. As spring got underway, we promised to continue spreading the value of kinship.

~William Monteleone, 2018

Troy Eta Phi

This spring, we conducted a successful spring recruitment to maintain our dominance as one of the largest fraternities on campus. At the time of this writing, we were focusing our attention on hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event in the hopes of raising more than $20,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. In conjunction with Derby Days, we are hosting our first-ever Fight Night philanthropic event and arranged for musical guests Gorilla Zoe and Travis Porter to play for us. The spring was a very exciting time for Sigma Chi at Troy, and we looked forward to the rest of the school year.

~Samuel Underwood, 2018

Tulane Alpha Omicron

The 2016 spring was a great one for the brothers of our chapter. We welcomed 26 outstanding young men into our brotherhood, increasing our chapter’s membership to its largest in years. Our Derby Days philanthropic event was once again a success, and through it, we were able to connect with the entire Tulane community to raise money for the fight against cancer. Our brothers continue to involve themselves in the community and on campus, and we look forward to continuing our chapter’s growth and success.

~Tyler Byrne, 2018

Tulsa Delta Omega

The spring 2016 term was one of merit for our chapter. Dan Trost, 2018 , represented us exceptionally well in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where he volunteered at an orphanage and aided individuals

who suffer from glaucoma. We also managed to increase our chapter GPA in the fall 2015 semester, which is an accomplishment we will strive to repeat in the terms to come. At the time of this writing, we were completing preparations for our summer recruitment and looked forward to connecting with quality young men who will further cultivate our brotherhood, which has become as strong as ever.

~Christoff Orr, 2019

Union Gamma Zeta

As the chapter had an excellent spring, we were saddened to say goodbye to the roughly 30 brothers we graduated. However, we hope to fill the gap left by their departure by recruiting 30 or so new members into our fall 2016 pledge class as the chapter adopts the Preparation for Brotherhood program. We have continued to make strides in philanthropy, athletics, and our overall campus presence. We also hosted McKenzie Mullins, WESTERN KENTUCKY 2013 , the director of chapter support at International Fraternity Headquarters, on a visit that our brothers found to be extremely educational.

~William Gibbs, 2017

Utah Beta Epsilon

Last fall was a very memorable semester, as we initiated a pledge class of 31 stellar men into Sigma Chi and raised more than $35,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We hosted our annual leadership appreciation night at which we welcomed Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, Associate Justice of the Utah Supreme Court Christine Durham, and former

Clayton Fenster, WYOMING 2016 , proudly holds the trophy marking his chapter’s victory in the university’s Homecoming contests on Oct. 17, 2015, while Hunter Rowe, WYOMING 2018 , looks on in the background. The photo was taken during the halftime trophy presentation during Wyoming’s Homecoming football game against the Nevada Wolf Pack.

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, 1973 , to our chapter house as guest speakers. We have also worked to create an alumni mentorship program for the members of our executive committee that will fortify our relationships with local Sigs.

~Zachary Berger, 2018

Utah State Gamma Kappa

Our chapter has experienced a great deal of growth during the 2015 to 2016 school year. We initiated 12 new brothers into Sigma Chi last fall and have increased our chapter’s GPA thanks to adopting more rigorous scholastic procedures. In addition, we have worked closely with a local elementary school to teach the children how to grow their own food.

~Paden Fairbanks, 2015

Valparaiso Iota Sigma

Our chapter enjoyed another successful semester this past spring. We celebrated initiating 13 new members into the Fraternity and elected new, highly motivated officers to our executive committee. In keeping the ideals of the Fraternity close to our hearts, we hosted a Crossroads drug and alcohol education program, strengthening the strong arms and accountability of our brotherhood. In addition, we have increased our philanthropic efforts by having three members serve on the executive committee of the university’s Dance Marathon. We look forward to the opportunity to win a third-consecutive Peterson Significant Chapter Award at this summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop.

~Benjamin Hoemann, 2016

Villanova Kappa Chi

In recent months, we were very fortunate to welcome 15 new brothers into our chapter and host our inaugural White Rose Banquet. The latter event, which took place in December, included a silent auction at which brothers and their families bid on items to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Our Derby Days philanthropic event planning was in full swing at the time of this writing; we had already more than tripled last year’s donation amount in just a few weeks. As we closed out the spring semester, we were excited to continue making positive contributions to the Villanova community.

~Sean Cassidy, 2018

Virginia Psi

This spring, we continued to succeed in academics and looked forward to our Derby Days philanthropic event building on the achievements of last year’s affair. We recruited and initiated 21 outstanding new members into our chapter, and several brothers traveled to Brazil to volunteer with the Seeds of Hope organization during spring break. In addition, we have continued our involvement in serving the Charlottesville, Va., and university communities through our multiple leadership positions and volunteering with Madison House, OneGoal, and Habitat for Humanity.

~Gardner Tregellas, 2018

Virginia Tech Eta Lambda

Our chapter started the spring 2016 semester in strong fashion by finishing second in the talent portion of the Delta Gamma women’s Fraternity’s spring philanthropic event. Additionally, we recruited the members of our Delta Theta pledge class, and looked forward to continuing to pilot the Preparation for Brotherhood program. Some of the chapter’s other spring activities included our Derby Days philanthropic event, which we hoped would break the chapter’s charitable contribution records, and Interfraternity Council intramural sports, as we looked to reclaim the softball championship. Lastly, we eagerly anticipated our executive officer elections, and were excited to announce who won them.

~Dow Perkins, 2016

Wabash Delta Chi

Our chapter enjoyed another successful semester this past spring. We continued to help out the community around us by putting on our annual Special Olympics basketball tournament. We were privileged to have our own Scott Purucker, 2016, win the Northern Indiana Province Balfour Award, and we recognized Zach Greene, 2016, as our chapter’s eighth founder. Our recruitment efforts for the 2016 to 2017 school year thus far have been very productive, and we look forward to welcoming these new members into our chapter in the fall and having another great semester.

~Preston Hadley, 2018

Wake Forest Delta Nu

We had an exciting start to the spring 2016 semester by welcoming back 10 of our brothers who had previously studied in parts of the world such as Sydney; Barcelona, Spain; London; and Florence, Italy. We also welcomed 18 remarkable young men into our latest pledge class as they began their preparation for brotherhood in Sigma Chi. We look forward to watching them develop into men of character. Many of our brothers hold leadership positions on the committees overseeing our university’s major events, and we were very excited to meet with our fellow brothers at our Feb. 28 province conference.

~Graham Shue, 2017

Washington & Lee Zeta

We were excited to invite our chapter alumni to return to campus for the 150th-anniversary celebration of our chapter’s installation. Called “Zeta-Fest,” we hosted the event during the university’s April 29 to 30 alumni weekend. In addition, our brothers played a critical role in the recently-completed 2016 quadrennial mock convention and continue to lead on the tennis, golf, and baseball teams. Last but certainly not least, we want to acknowledge the 16 outstanding young men whom we initiated into Sigma Chi during the winter term, and were excited to welcome them into the Fraternity as our brothers.

~Matthew Kinderman, 2016

Washington (St. Louis) Tau Tau

As our spring 2016 pledging season neared its conclusion, all of the chapter’s brothers looked forward to initiating their new brothers into Sigma Chi. At the time of this writing, we had strong hopes that all 25 members of the pledge class would earn initiation into the Fraternity this spring. Another event that held our attention this spring was the university’s famed ThurtenE carnival; Sam Schnabel, 2016, was elected as our chairman for the event, and he worked diligently to make sure that everything went as planned.

~Matthew Highsmith, 2018

Washington (Seattle) Upsilon Upsilon

Our chapter is working to grow its relationships with alumni by hosting career fairs. The chapter is also striving to improve its Derby Days philanthropic event in an attempt to break the chapter’s fundraising record of $21,000. The improvements we have made to our scholarship program resulted in 46 brothers making the dean’s list by earning GPAs of 3.5 or greater during the fall 2015 quarter. At the time of this writing, we were working to plan a chariot race for our fellow Greek-letter organizations to take part in this fall; hopefully, it will also help us raise a great deal of money for charity. We hope to win our 13th consecutive Peterson Significant Chapter Award this year.

~Paul Gentsch, 2018

Washington State Beta Upsilon

We began our fall 2015 semester with a list of triumphs and developments of which we are proud. In addition to initiating 11 new brothers into the Fraternity, we hosted an all-class reunion with more than 150 alumni in attendance, and earned a cumulative chapter GPA that exceeds that all-fraternity and all-student averages. As we transitioned into the 2016 calendar year, we hoped to build off of these successes and cultivate new accomplishments.

~Braden Johnson, 2019

Waterloo Theta Psi

This past term, several of our brothers went on international exchange trips to Europe, and a sizable number of others secured co-op placements, leaving our chapter’s size smaller than usual. With their absences came a change in leadership, as many of our younger brothers have stepped up into larger roles. Those younger brothers brought with them new viewpoints and ideas. We have taken a number of road trips in recent months, such as one journey to visit other Sigma Chi chapters within the Ontario province. Moving forward, we look to develop our brotherhood and keep up on our involvement on campus and with other Greek-letter organizations.

~Andrew Evans, 2017

West Florida Lambda Beta

This past spring, our brothers helped the community by donating more than $2,500 to families that were affected by an F3 tornado that hit Pensacola, Fla. We also planned to participate in philanthropic events benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities and diabetes research. Finally, we looked forward to holding our formal in New Orleans.

West Georgia Lambda Phi

In recent months, our members have committed themselves to the task of further building our chapter’s foundation. Our membership consists of 45 brothers who set the standard for all fraternity men on our campus. Philanthropic service is important to us; to that end, we have adopted a stretch of road and are responsible for keeping it clean and presentable. Our alumni-based friendships are small in number, but significant to the development of our brothers. We are working to build our alumni relations by hosting events and keeping them in the loop with our weekly newsletter.

West Virginia Mu Mu

This semester has been another stride in the right direction for our chapter. After initiating 11 new brothers into Sigma Chi, we hosted a successful spring recruitment through which we met many quality prospects. Of them, we decided to extend

bids to five gentlemen. We also looked forward to planning another strong Derby Days philanthropic event and serving our philanthropic obligation to the community. In addition, we are actively participating with campus sororities and women’s fraternities to raise even more money for the community.

~Elliott Chiartas, 2016

Western Carolina Kappa Gamma

This spring, we welcomed 11 new pledges into the chapter and have high hopes for them and their futures. We hosted the Western North Carolina province conference, to which we welcomed delegates from the Wake Forest and North Carolina-Charlotte chapters. We also looked forward to hosting a police social with the sisters of the Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity, where we planned to go over how to properly perform the Heimlich maneuver and thank the police for their service to our community. Finally, we looked forward to the Relay For Life fundraiser, when we hoped to once again do our part to become the generation to end cancer.

Western Connecticut Iota Eta

We are proud to have had initiated eight new brothers into Sigma Chi during the fall 2015 semester; theirs is one of the largest pledge classes we have recruited in recent years. We were also honored to send Consul James Collins, 2015, to attend Grand Council in Skokie, Ill. During our spring 2016 semester, we hosted recruitment events that included dodgeball and jumbo scrabble, and brought several gentlemen into our latest pledge class. In addition, we hoped that our signature Derby Days philanthropic event would raise a large sum of money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

~Jeffrey Moffat, 2019

Western Illinois Iota Omicron

As we got underway into the spring 2016 semester, our brothers were pleased to involve themselves in various campus events and organizations. One of our goals for the semester was to help raise money for the sister of one of our brothers who is battling sarcoma. We have done so by making “Stronger than Sarcoma” bracelets to sell around the community. At the time of this writing, we were beginning to adopt the Preparation for Brotherhood curriculum, and we are honored to recognize Andrew Crossan, 1995, who will be inducted into the Order of Constantine this year.

~Matthew Hutchison, 2019

Western Kentucky Zeta Mu

This fall 2015 semester was another great one for our brothers. We celebrated the 50th anniversary of our installation by welcoming many alumni back to Bowling Green, Ky., to see our new chapter house for the first time. We were also selected to participate in the new Preparation for Brotherhood

pledge program’s pilot, and we are happy to report that everything went well and we initiated 19 new brothers into Sigma Chi. This spring, we looked forward to our Derby Days and Fight Night philanthropic events; in particular, we hosted Fight Night at a new venue and expected it to be bigger and better than ever before.

~Tripp Watson, 2017

Western Michigan Zeta Nu

Midway through the spring 2016 semester at the time of this writing, our brothers were focused on several imperatives for the remainder of the semester. Our foremost focus was on properly educating the 14 men whom we offered bids to pledge our chapter through informal recruitment at the beginning of the semester, while at the same time preparing the chapter for an excellent performance of the Ritual to initiate our newest members into Sigma Chi. The chapter is also implementing new procedures to ensure that our overall chapter GPA continues to increase for a fifth semester in a row.

~Lucas Funk, 2017

Western Ontario Epsilon Omicron

Our chapter had another successful term this spring, as we retained our title as the largest fraternity on campus. We initiated 25 new brothers into our chapter during the 2015 to 2016 school year who share the high ideals of Sigma Chi, and the members of their well-rounded pledge class earned the fraternity community’s best new-member GPA with a 3.5. Continuing off the success of our Sig Dig and Derby Days philanthropic events, we have set a lofty goal of raising $25,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute during the upcoming 2016 to 2017 school year.

~Matthew Soper, 2017

Whitman Gamma Epsilon

We have had a lot on our agenda in recent months, and have remained productive in pursuing our goals. We were in the process of forming an alumni advisory board at the time of this writing, and we are beginning to plan for our chapter’s centennial anniversary. In addition, we have implemented many policies to prevent sexual misconduct in hopes of combatting this issue head-on. This includes preselecting sober individuals to supervise parties and help put a stop to harmful behavior. We have also implemented sober stations that provide water and snacks to partygoers.

~Thomas Douglas, 2018

Wilfrid Laurier Iota Mu

Thanks to our election of a very strong executive team, we have greatly increased our presence on campus, while at the same time improving our relations with the rest of the Greek-letter community. The chapter would like to welcome the members of its Beta Epsilon and Beta Zeta pledge

classes; both groups are composed of young and ambitious emerging leaders who will bring the chapter to new heights. We look forward to the leadership of Consul Louis Pfeifer, 2017, and Pro Consul Eumin Song, 2018 , in the upcoming school year.

~Madisson Dowsling, 2016

William & Mary Zeta Upsilon

Many of our brothers are involved in all aspects of campus life, and continue to have a strong presence in the community. Five individuals decided to join the chapter during the spring 2016 semester, and as it continued, we looked forward to initiating them into Sigma Chi. Additionally, we eagerly anticipated hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event, through which we raised money for Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals affiliate in Ghent, Va.

~Conor Rooney, 2017

Wisconsin-Milwaukee Lambda Chi

Our chapter has continued to thrive by excelling in character development and inclusiveness. Our brotherhood is unique because we have three men in it who are deaf. At first, this may appear challenging, especially considering that communication is vital to the act of developing brotherhood; however, it has fostered an unbelievable bond amongst brothers. Many have taken it upon themselves to learn American Sign Language (ASL), with some becoming proficient in it. This has extended into our pledge classes, which include bits of ASL in their weekly studies. Sigma Chi is a terrific organization that promotes love, caring and brotherhood, and this is a prime example of how we live its true values.

~Erik Sands, 2017

Wyoming Gamma Xi

We earned a GPA exceeding the all-men’s average at our university on our most recent grade report, and have raised more than $1,700 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute thanks to events such as our Souper Cheesy Fundraiser. One of our members is serving as president of the Interfraternity Council for the third-straight semester, we have four brothers who occupy positions in the student government, as well as brothers who are members of many other organizations throughout campus. Our latest Derby Days philanthropic event was very well received throughout the campus, and we now look forward to fall recruitment and adding new brothers to our chapter.

~James Munoz, 2018

Yale Theta Upsilon

Our chapter’s officers are efficiently executing their tasks, and our brotherhood is engaged with a school administration that respects our leadership in philanthropy. We are reaping the benefits of re-thinking our best practices in an effort to operate

at optimal efficiency. While many seniors left after graduating this spring, our younger brothers are stepping up as leaders and pushing their limits in ways we have never before imagined. As such, the chapter is full of hope after recruiting a strong pledge class whose members will inherit a new and improved chapter. Please join us for the chapter’s 30th-anniversary celebration on Oct. 7 and 8, 2016.

~Joshua El-Bey, 2016

Youngstown Eta Chi

The spring 2016 semester was a successful one for our chapter. We held our first Rockuacade, which is a philanthropic event in which we raised money for charity. We organized Project Penguin, through which we gathered stuffed animals and donated them to local fire departments that distribute them to children. Our chapter’s two most recent initiates are Donald Duda, 2018 , and Jacob Majovsky, 2018 , for whom we have great expectations. We planned to put on a strong recruitment this spring, and are preparing to host our annual Derby Days philanthropic event in the fall for the fifth time in recent history.

~Landon Kline, 2017

COLONY UPDATES

Baylor Eta Omega

Our members had a great showing in the all-university sing event alongside our partners in the Kappa Alpha Theta women’s fraternity. We enjoyed our alumni presence there. We hoped to have great support from local businesses and other Greek-letter organizations at our Derby Days philanthropic event in April. We welcomed 23 new members into the colony last fall, and we are preparing for recruitment this coming fall. Finally, we have begun working on our 2016 Homecoming parade float for the university’s annual competition.

~Garrett Smith, 2018

Hobart Sigma Chi Epsilon

At the time of this writing, we were very excited for our reinstallation that was scheduled for April 9, 2016. We are in the process of putting the final touches on our Phase Two colony report for the International Fraternity and our Formal Petition to become a chapter. We have eight men who are in the process of going through a four-week pledge program. We will continue to reside in our lakefront house once our group is reinstalled as a chapter.

~Ryan Densen, 2017

Massachusetts-Amherst Sigma Chi Omega

Our colony’s membership now includes 33 potential new brothers. After considering more than 25 men for our next pledge class, we selected just six of them. We chose them for their high moral standards and capability. We prepared for this year’s Greek Week by collecting canned food, aluminum can tabs and donations through various events benefiting the Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass. Now, we look forward to participating in our second Balfour Leadership Training Workshop and province conference.

~Tirso Peña, 2018

Ohio Delta Sigma Chi

Following the Executive Committee’s approval of our Formal Petition to become a colony, we were to be installed into the Fraternity on March 19, 2016. Our 48 members were very excited for the opportunity to become brothers, to continue making a positive name for Sigma Chi on the Ohio University campus, and to continue exemplifying leadership, academics and brotherhood within the Athens, Ohio, community.

~Matt Falconer, 2017

Virginia Commonwealth Sigma Chi Sigma

Our colony was officially founded on Sept. 27, 2015, and we are working hard to become an installed chapter. The Executive Committee approved our Declaration of Intent to become a colony in January, and we hope to submit our Phase One colony report to the International Fraternity by the end of the spring 2016 semester. Our latest campus and community involvement included partnering with Hanover Arc in Ashland, Va., which provides services and advocacy to citizens with special needs, to help their Pumpkin-Chunk-A-Thon event.

~Jeremy Cummings, 2018

Executive committee members of the University of Utah undergraduate chapter gather on Jan. 6, 2016, at Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City, where they discussed their goal to raise $50,000 this academic year for Huntsman Cancer Institute. All told, they raised $66,706.

“[Fifty thousand dollars] seemed quite unrealistic, then we decided to push ourselves,” says Historian Mason Earl, UTAH 2017. “A lot of our fundraising came from contacting local companies and soliciting donations, as well as social media and word of mouth. We also asked each member of our chapter to raise at least $100 and required that none of that be out of pocket.”

Chapters Continue Their Fundraising Efforts After they Donate $1 Million to Huntsman Cancer Institute

Sigma Chi International Fraternity members have raised their millionth dollar in 10 months in support of the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), and Fraternity leaders are confident that brothers will add another $200,000 by July 31. Leading the charge in that effort are the brothers at the University of Utah and Loyola University Chicago chapters, who have given $66,706.65 and $52,003.06, respectively, since Aug. 1, 2015.

The $1 million mark was reached on May 10; this comes less than one year after the Fraternity pledged to raise an all-time total of $10 million to HCI by 2022. Since Sigma Chi named HCI its preferred philanthropic partner in 2005, brothers have contributed more than $4 million to the organization to find a cure for cancer.

“This is the Fraternity and the [side of] Greek[letter] life that we want everyone to see and know about,” says Lori Kun, director of development at the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. “People are so blown away by Sigma Chi’s enthusiasm and tenacity to support this fight against cancer.”

It is that enthusiasm upon which Order of Constantine Sig Dan Shaver, TEXAS TECH 1993 , is relying when he says he believes Sigma Chis are capable of raising an additional $200,000

by July 31. Shaver is chairman of the Fraternity’s philanthropy committee.

“Everybody simply needs to dig deep,” he says. “[Our hope is that brothers] will reach out to their alumni, will reach out to their parents and their aunts and their uncles and their grandparents, and ask for a final push.

“Curing cancer is the cause of our time, and that resonates with this generation of students,” Shaver continues. “The [undergraduates] raising money today will probably have a future where their children don’t know the devastating impact of cancer. And that provides more hope to me than anything I’ve ever considered in my lifetime.”

At HCI, Kun believes that the Fraternity’s partnership with the organization has sparked a passion among Sigs to help realize the dream that Order of Constantine Sig, Significant Sig and HCI founder Jon M. Huntsman, PENNSYLVANIA 1959, has of making cancer a disease of the past.

“People are really starting to feel this movement, and it has so much momentum behind it,” says Kun of the fundraising efforts. “Mr. Huntsman and everyone here is just so thrilled with what Sigma Chi has accomplished.”

CHAPTER NAME: Alpha Alpha

INSTALLATION DATE: April 9, 2016

PROVINCE: Northwestern New York SIGS INITIATED AT INSTALLATION: 39

The growth — or rather, regrowth — of the Fraternity’s presence at our college has been a demanding and rewarding process. Our chapter was first installed in 1892, it went inactive in 2006, and our Declaration of Intent to become a colony was approved in January 2014. During our colonization, we learned what it means to run a successful chapter and truly appreciate what it means to be a Sigma Chi. To the original seven members of our Alpha pledge class, we have added many others, and now we number 36 strong. That makes us one of the largest fraternities on campus. We also initiated three alumni at our installation. So far, we have experienced challenges as an organization, but we have also enjoyed many successes, such as hosting our faculty reception and participating in the campus’s Relay For Life fundraiser. We would not be where we are today without the help of the following people who guided us to our initiation: Northwestern New York Grand Praetor John Predmore, KETTERING 1979; Larry Heininger, RENSSELAER 1977; Kyle Swartley, CLARKSON 2001 ; former expansion coordinator at International Headquarters, Nick Alvarez, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 2014; expansion team lead at International Headquarters, Des Robinson, TARLETON STATE 2015; expansion coordinator at International Headquarters, Walker Patten, NEBRASKA 2015; and Mid Atlantic Grand Praetor Josh Hartman, GEORGE WASHINGTON 2004 . We also thank the brothers of the chapter at the Rochester Institute of Technology for installing us; to college president Mark Gearan and his wife, Mary, for attending the installation banquet; and to executive director Mike Church, ILLINOIS 2005, and Grand Pro Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985, for pinning us with our badges and signing our charter at the installation.

CHAPTER NAME: Delta Pi

PROVINCE: Southern Ohio

INSTALLATION DATE: March 19, 2016

SIGS INITIATED AT INSTALLATION: 45

It is with immense pride and excitement that our brotherhood returns to Ohio University as a reinstalled chapter. More than 100 of our alumni attended our initiation ceremony, and nearly 200 guests were present for our re-chartering banquet. It was just 18 months ago that we started our journey as a colony. Southern Ohio province Grand Praetor Ryan Temby, RUTGERS 1990, colony advisor Art Berg, OHIO 1982 , and our local alumni challenged us and made us grow, think and learn. The care, enthusiasm, dedication and help that we received from other Sigs was never-ending, valuable and set the perfect example for each of us to follow. Without the added support and help of our Balfour Leadership Training Workshop facilitators, the assistance and encouragement from the staff at Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters, and the guidance of our facilitators who brought us the Journey chapter development and Crossroads drug and alcohol education programs, we would not have developed the desire, enthusiasm and dedication to become Sigma Chis. We’ve all heard the saying that “it takes a village.” Well, it might. But what it really takes is brotherhood: The brotherhood of our colony, and now, the brotherhood of our chapter. We will continue to bring honor, pride and distinction to ourselves, to Sigma Chi, to Ohio University, and to each and every one of our alumni.

~Matt Falconer, 2017

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 dearly beloved brother wore over his heart The White Cross of Sigma Chi whose immaculate whiteness symbolized to us the purity of his motives, therefore,it is most appropriate that he now bear above his heart our emblem; and that we lay white roses upon his casket in token of the sweet memories we will always 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.

A BRIGHT

Idea

Significant Sig William Fulbright, ARKANSAS 1924 , helped create a program that takes scholars to foreign countries, gaining an understanding of others’ worldview

Albert Einstein is reported as having spoken these words in the aftermath of World War II and the August 1945 destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: “Now everything has changed except our manner of thinking. Thus, we are drifting toward a catastrophe beyond comparison. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”

A month later, a recently reelected U.S. Senator from Arkansas introduced a bill to Congress that would provide grants for an international educational exchange.

In the fall of 1946, Congress passed the bill that was introduced by Significant Sig William Fulbright, ARKANSAS 1924 , and President Harry Truman signed it. The Fulbright International Educational Exchange Program was born. Its purpose was “To increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.”

Under the Fulbright program, grants are awarded to American students, teachers and scholars to study, teach, lecture and conduct research abroad. Grants are also awarded to foreign citizens to engage in similar activities in the United States.

“The great majority of the 156,000 alumni of the program are from the major countries,” Fulbright is reported in the spring 1987 Magazine of Sigma Chi to have said. “Impressive numbers of them have emerged as prime ministers, business leaders, academics, journalists and artists.”

As of 2016, the program had placed 50,000 faculty and professionals in 140 countries and more than 45,000 overseas scholars had visited U.S. colleges, universities and research institutions, according to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, which administers the program.

Fulbright, who entered the Chapter Eternal on Feb. 9, 1995, believed that the program was a great asset to national security. “[The Fulbright scholars] are of greater significance to our security

than is another aircraft carrier, which incidentally would cost three times as much as the exchange program has cost in 40 years,” he is reported in 1986 as having said.

At the time, the Fulbright program was administered by the U.S. Information Agency, under policy guidelines established by what is now known as the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarships Board, and in cooperation with other federal agencies and several private organizations.

Today, the program’s primary source of funding is an annual appropriation by the U.S. Congress to the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Participating governments and host institutions in many countries and the United States also contribute to the funding through cost-sharing, salary supplements, tuition waivers, university housing and other benefits. The estimated 1986 Congressional appropriation for the program was $94 million. In 2015, it was $236,485,000.

Participants in the Fulbright program are selected based on academic or professional qualifications and potential, as well as the ability and willingness to share ideas and experiences with people of diverse cultures.

Fulbright is reported in 1986 to have believed that the program should have been expanded to include exchanges between the U.S. and the country it perceived to be its most serious threat: the Soviet Union. “If leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States have the advice of people who have lived and studied in the other’s country [or who have done so themselves], they are more likely to calculate the consequences of a nuclear conflict between superpowers [and] are better insurance against war than are any number of machines of destruction,” he said in The Magazine

Fulbright said that he got the idea for the international exchange program from his experience as a Rhodes Scholar in 1925. “That experience made

This photo appeared in the August 1951 issue of TheMagazineofSigmaChi, which highlighted Fulbright after he addressed the U.S. Senate on “The Moral Deterioration of American Democracy” on March 27, 1951. Time,Life,Reader’s Digest and other national magazines described his talk as a speech that was said “to be read and remembered.”

a great impression on me. It was a great cultural shock to be taken from Fayetteville, Ark., to Oxford, England, without any intermediate introduction to the civilization. Naturally, that remained in the back of my mind.”

Fulbright had entered the University of Arkansas at the age of 16, earning a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1924. In college, he was president of the student government that he helped organize, was captain of the tennis team and was a halfback on the football team.

As a Rhodes scholar, he continued his study of history and political science at Oxford University, earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree there. In 1953, the university awarded him an honorary doctorate degree.

After studying at Oxford, Fulbright travelled throughout Europe, then returned to the United States to study law at George Washington University. He earned his law degree in 1934 and accepted a position as a special attorney in the antitrust division of the Department of Justice. He stayed there until 1935, when he became a lecturer in law at George Washington. In 1939, he returned to the University of Arkansas as a member of the law school faculty. The same year, he was appointed president of the university at age 34. Two years later, the Governor of Arkansas removed him from that office for political reasons.

In 1942, the Democrat was elected by a large majority to the U.S. House of Representatives from the 3rd District of Arkansas. In 1944, at age 39, Fulbright was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he remained until 1974. He served 15 years as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

THE SIG LIST

Things to know, notice and tell a brother

Significant Sig John Wayne, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1929, got his nickname, Duke, from his dog, according to a Nov. 17, 1989, story in the Los Angeles Daily News. The newspaper reports that Wayne said in a 1973 interview that the “mutt” named Duke followed him everywhere, and firemen began to call Wayne “Little Duke,” until one day “Little” fell from his name.

Henry Vinton, PURDUE 1885, created the Sigma Chi flag. The Fraternity adopted his design in 1899.

Team Joe Gibbs Racing, owned and operated by Joe Gibbs and his son Significant Sig J.D. Gibbs, WILLIAM & MARY 1992, won its second Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2016, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. The team’s first Daytona 500 win came in 1993, and has also won four NASCAR Sprint Cup championships since its founding in 1992.

The Fraternity began its Life Loyal program in 1925. Membership in the program provided a brother with a lifetime exemption from his dues, as well as a lifelong subscription to The Magazine of Sigma Chi. Today, more than 57,000 brothers have become Life Loyal Sigs.

On March 31, 2016, the Recording Industry Association of America certified the self-titled debut album of Significant Sig Cole Swindell, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 2005, platinum. One million copies of it had sold since it was released on Feb. 18, 2014.

The USNS Bruce C. Heezen, a hydrographic survey ship that was built in 2000, is named for Bruce Heezen, IOWA 1946. Heezen led the team of researchers that in 1952 mapped the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a section of the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. Photo courtesy of U.S. Navy.

When asked why he was removing the coat of arms, the other fraternity man said, “It's all over now.” To which Jim replied, “That would never happen with a Sigma Chi.”
