Ashley Van Meter, SAM HOUSTON 1993 , is the father of the new sweetheart of the undergraduate chapter at his alma mater. We misidentified him in the spring Magazine of Sigma Chi. We regret the error.
It is hard to believe that I am now almost halfway through my two-year term as Grand Consul. In typical fashion, nothing has gone as originally intended and I had no idea of the crisis the Greek-letter world would face in the last year with alcohol- and hazing-related issues. I am extremely proud of the way Sigma Chi has been responding with our new health and safety policies and our efforts to model the way to our members, fraternal partners and host institutions. Although there continue to be isolated issues that arise when chapters fail in their efforts to promote personal accountability, overall I take pride in seeing we have a great group of men out there carrying the torch forward for Sigma Chi.
This issue is about alumni who give back to important causes, so a reference to carrying the torch is very appropriate, I believe. There would be no Sigma Chi without the seven men who founded the organization in a boarding room in Oxford, Ohio, in 1855. The path for personal growth that they laid out has continued to this day and their service has been modeled by over 330,000 men who have followed in their footsteps. All of us would not be here as Sigma Chis if not for the people in our chapters who prepared the way for us. None of us who came after the Founders spontaneously became a Sigma Chi — we were brought into the organization by someone who believed in us and felt that we had the potential to embrace its values.
Therefore, I believe that we remember our obligation as members is two-fold. Just like our badge has two chains that link its upper arms and removing one would result in an imbalance, if we only focus on one of our obligations, our life would be out of balance. We owe a duty to the past and a duty to the future. Our duty to the past is to thank those who brought us and Sigma Chi to this point in time. Without their hard work, sacrifices and positive examples, there would be no Sigma Chi today. We meet our duty to the future when we identify and nurture those young men who show they can embody those Fraternity values we hold so dear. Just saying, “I am a Sigma Chi” is not enough. It must be accompanied by action.
As you read this issue, I ask that everyone keep in mind what led them to where they are now and what is yet to come. Consider calling some chaptermates if you are an alumnus and let them know how much you appreciate what they have done for you. Commit to being involved in the future of Sigma Chi by finding a local chapter and taking an active role within in. If you are financially able to do so, consider donating to the Sigma Chi Foundation. If you are unable to donate your money, you can still invest your time in the organization. You do not need to hold an office or spend an exorbitant amount of time with the undergraduate chapter. Sometimes just going by the chapter house and talking with the members is enough. The key is to invest some time with them so they are reminded that when they become an alumnus, they have a duty to continue to give back to Sigma Chi.

Dear Readers,
If only we could all be a little more like Matthew Palazzolo, BINGHAMTON 2020 . As a college student, he learned about Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) and its foundation this past fall, when he was a pledge. Inspired by the deaths of his family members, including his mother, he donated $300 of the money he had saved from his summer 2017 job to HCI. He plans to donate what he can to support the institute this fall, during his chapter’s Derby Days philanthropic event.
His selfless act made me think of myself as a college student, or as a teenager preparing to go to college. During my summers then, I worked hard at the local discount store and fast food restaurant to save money for myself and the expenses I would incur as I went back to college each fall. I thought I would give to others later, when I was making more money. My motives for saving money were selfish.
Palazzolo’s desire to donate to help others reminds me of the late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, who is said to have regularly given $50 to a young mother in need in the late 1950s, when he made just $320 per month working as a naval officer. Huntsman Sr. was not making much money, but he found a way to give. Palazzolo’s actions offer hope that others will continue to pick up the torch of generous men like Huntsman Sr., who found a way to donate to causes close to his heart, inspiring others to do the same.
I hope you enjoy reading about Sigma Chi philanthropists in this issue.
Sincerely,
Susan Lorimor EDITOR




































Now is the time to start planning what you or your chapter will do on the Sept. 15, 2018, Merlin Olsen Day of Service. To honor the impact Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Merlin Olsen, UTAH STATE 1962 , made on his community, the Fraternity encourages members to take part in service events such as cleaning up public parks, picking up trash along highways and creating community gardens. If you will be doing an event with your chapter, present ideas for it at the earliest possible chapter meeting, agreeing upon what your group will be doing. The month of the event, promote it on social media using #honormerlin. Let your school or community newspaper know what you will be doing and encourage them to cover it for their publication.
Take lots of photos and video of your day of service project and post the content on social media, using the same hashtag and
identifying the members in the images. Using the hashtag will allow the Fraternity to engage with your posts and share them with followers on the International Fraternity’s account, showing even more people the good that Sigma Chis do.
Also, if the community service event involves a local nonprofit organization, tag it when you share the posts. This will help to gain further exposure and promote positive public relations with the nonprofit’s followers.
Lastly, email photos to honormerlin@sigmachi.org, along with a description of what is happening in the photo and the names of the brothers in it, including their university names and graduation years. The photos may be used in General Fraternity communications.
Olsen was a longtime host of the Children’s Miracle Network telethon. Prior to his broadcasting and acting careers, he played defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams from 1962 to 1976 and was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982. He entered the Chapter Eternal on March 11, 2010.
In an effort to protect Sigma Chi’s name, trademarks and its online communities, the Executive Committee adopted and approved a policy for social media use in its Jan. 26, 2018, meeting, presenting detailed responsibilities for management of social media groups that use the Fraternity’s name and logos. To view the policy, go to sigmachi.org/policies and scroll to “Sigma Chi International Fraternity Social Media Policy.”
In the past, there have been a number of groups on various social media outlets that used Sigma Chi’s name and trademarks. This has presented questions of ownership and authenticity; individuals were given the impression that the Fraternity approved of and managed the groups, when it may not have known of the groups’ existence. Under the new policy, groups that wish to identify with Sigma Chi and use its name and other trademarks must apply for approval to do so and submit proper contact information for those who will manage the group. This approval process will allow the organization to maintain a record of the groups and the individuals who will manage them. Those managers or administrators will thus agree to safeguard the Fraternity’s trademarks and to uphold their responsibilities to the best of their abilities, and to only approve members to the group who are in good standing with the international organization.
This policy does not apply to undergraduate or alumni chapter social media groups.
By maintaining a record of approved and active groups on social media, Sigma Chi can also work to eliminate redundant or inactive groups from Facebook or other platforms.
To apply to create a new group or to become an administrator, please send your request to socialmedia@sigmachi.org.

Making a Difference in Your Life and the Lives
A St. Louis-area orthodontist volunteers his professional services to improve the smiles of children and teenagers in need, impacting their self-esteem.
by Susan Lorimor
Each year, Randall Markarian, WASHINGTON (ST. LOUIS) 1989, of Markarian Orthodontics in O’Fallon and Swansea, Illinois, which are located outside of St. Louis, provides reduced cost orthodontic work to about 20 patients through the Smiles Change Lives (SCL) nonprofit organization. SCL partners with orthodontists to volunteer their services to provide braces for those ages seven to 21 years who have a moderate-to-severe need for braces and whose families meet SCL’s financial guidelines. Those who SCL approves for treatment pay a $30 application fee to the program and $650 for their orthodontics. Metal braces can cost from $3,000 to $7,000, according to Oral-B. For Markarian’s volunteer service, he has been named the summer 2018 Mark V. Anderson Character-inAction™ Leadership Award winner.
Below, Markarian describes what motivates him to take part in SCL and why he continues to do so.
Why and how did you become involved with [Smiles Change Lives]?
I have always been compelled to give back to my community by doing pro-bono cases for patients with significant orthodontic need that, due to their family’s financial situation, they would not be able to receive. Many times, people automatically believe that all orthodontic treatments are cosmetic only. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are many times where the need for care borders
on medical necessity due to an inability to function normally during chewing or speaking. And there are many others [who] have significant social and selfesteem issues due to the appearance of their teeth. We know that being an adolescent can be challenging enough without adding the bullying and teasing that someone with crowded and misaligned teeth can experience from their peers. For me, deciding which cases “deserved” a free treatment was always difficult to do [on my own, prior to receiving pre-screened SCL patients]. When providing such a treatment, you want to be sure that the neediest cases are being treated.
“I have always been compelled to give back to my community by doing pro bono cases for patients with significant orthodontic need …,” says Markarian.

In 2006, I read about … [SCL, which] was expanding [its] program outside of Kansas City, [Missouri,] to other major metropolitan areas like St. Louis. I contacted them and became a provider with them. At that time, they needed volunteers to get the St. Louis program going and get the word out. I volunteered to do that and was put on the organizing committee. We got information out in local media and set up screenings at St. Louis University. At that point, I was hooked on helping out and have championed the program ever since.
What inspires you to keep giving back through [Smiles Change Lives]?
I think that from my standpoint, maybe in a selfish way, I get a great sense of personal satisfaction by providing these treatments [for others]. I realized long ago that by doing something small, something I do day in and day out, for someone, it can have real impact on their [life]. Seeing [SCL] kids come out of their shell and blossom into amazing young adults is really a great thing to see. The families’ gratitude [for the assistance] and love really makes providing the treatments a joy for me. It really is something that I cannot imagine not doing and being a part of.
What have you said to your colleagues to encourage them to take part in the program?
I have had a harder time recruiting colleagues than I expected. It’s hard to convey the benefits of providing care for [someone for] no fee.
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.
For information about the award, see sigmachi.org/mark-v-anderson-characterin-action-leadership-award.
Sometimes, I get a response [of], “I can’t afford to treat for free,” or some other excuse. Once [orthodontists] do a case, they start to understand why it is important [to do them]. Unfortunately, not enough have done [so]. Twice in the last four years, I have cleared out the St. Louis [SCL] waitlist for treatment. Each time, [there were] 15-plus patients [to treat] to start to make that happen and there are around 75 orthodontists in the St. Louis metropolitan area. I always say that if every orthodontist would just volunteer to treat one child a year, then we could help out so many more kids. In St. Louis, that would be 75 a year. In Illinois, that would be around 450 a year and in the United States, that would be 10,000 a year. What a great achievement that would be [to help those individuals] as SCL currently treats around 1,400 [patients] a year across all [the] States. I’d like to think that numbers like that could inspire others to treat a case a year.

Instead of typical monthly luncheons, our goal is to host a social event celebrating each decade, starting with the 1950s and culminating with the post-2000s. We held our sweethearts of Sigma Chi luncheon at the Cooperage Restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Feb. 6, 2018, with a Valentine’s Day theme. About 70 people attended, including 10 former chapter sweethearts and Cristal Terrazas, the current sweetheart of the New Mexico undergraduate chapter. At the time of this writing, we were planning a spring dance for May 5 at the Cooperage, and our annual backyard barbecue on July 21.

Please refer to the chapter’s directory listing in this Magazine issue for information regarding our monthly meetings. We also try to schedule golf matches, fishing trips, poker games and other events. Our annual Christmas dinner at a local establishment on Dec. 12, 2017, was a success, and we plan to do it again this year. Sigs, pledges, their partners and their kids are always welcome at our monthly meetings. Please contact the chapter president, Chip Derrick, DAVIDSON 1964 , with questions or comments using the phone number in our chapter listing in the directory of this Magazine

We had an exciting start to 2018 with the undergraduate chapter at Boise State University hosting the Big Sky province conference on Feb. 10, 2018. The event provided a great opportunity for alumni involvement.

Concurrent with the formation of the new Rhode Island province, headed by our Grand Praetor Phil Genereux, RHODE ISLAND 1993 , there is now early planning to consider the merits of consolidating the two existing — but socially inactive — alumni chapters, Providence and Narragansett Bay.

Also included within the consolidated alumni group would be all Sigs who express interest in it, as well as the addition of a few active, but informal Rhode Island Sigma Chi groups, such as the Biking Sigs and Rhode Scholars groups.

In this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi, we focus on how others give financially to charities and organizations that are close to their heart. In doing so, they hope to advance a cause or help others in a way that they were helped, perhaps years earlier. Significant Sig Bill George, GEORGIA TECH 1964 , has pledged $500,000 over five years through the George Family Foundation to support the creation of Sigma Chi U, the Fraternity’s online learning management system. One of his goals through his foundation is to help develop authentic leaders, and he has touted his chapter experience as helping him grow in such a manner.
Thanks to George and others such as the late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959 , and Significant Sig Steve Denning, GEORGIA TECH 1970 , individuals are benefiting from their financial contributions. During his lifetime, Huntsman Sr. and his family donated millions of dollars to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, in an effort to find a cure for cancer.
Denning has donated millions to his alma mater, Georgia Institute of Technology, and to Stanford University, from where he received his graduate degree, to assist students with their educational pursuits.
The altruistic natures of Denning, George and Huntsman Sr. have impacted many individuals. We hope you enjoy reading more in this issue about what motivates them to contribute in such a manner.

As a way to help the Fraternity and aid undergraduates’ personal development, an alumnus helps build Sigma Chi U.
By John O’Brien









Significant Sig Bill George, GEORGIA TECH 1964 , credits his time with his chapter as an undergraduate in the early 1960s with helping develop him as a leader. The former chairman and chief executive officer at Medtronic, which makes medical devices, has written numerous books on leadership and is a senior fellow at Harvard Business School, where he’s taught leadership since 2004.
After experiencing success, he wanted to give back to the Fraternity and help develop the next generation of leaders. So in 2015, George, through his George Family Foundation, committed to make five annual grants of $100,000 to Sigma Chi to help it develop an online learning management system. The result was Sigma Chi U, which features e-learning modules. The modules help lay the foundation for the education the Fraternity presents its undergraduates, says Jim Cogdal, BRADLEY 2003 , the organization’s senior director of membership development.













Those modules include the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program for various constituents, as well as the online learning for the Ritual for Life (R4L) program, which will educate new initiates on the deeper meaning of the Fraternity’s sacred text. R4L is in its pilot phase.
To George, making the commitment and helping develop Sigma Chi U was a way to assist the Fraternity in the midst of negativity within Greek-life culture on college campuses. The goal is to help educate brothers on their responsibilities as members of Sigma Chi so that they avoid making poor decisions regarding issues such as alcohol use and hazing. “We just wanted to see to it in general that the Sigma Chi chapters around North America are avoiding those situations,” George says.



He adds that he hopes Sigma Chi U and the education the Fraternity provides will help reinforce the beliefs that make the organization special, while providing the same type of leadership development he received as an undergraduate.
Cogdal says Sigma Chi U was initially rolled out to 53 chapters in fall 2015 before it was expanded to all of the Fraternity’s undergraduate chapters in the following academic year. Since its inception, the platform has had more than 11,800 registered users. In addition to housing the R4L online education, it will soon be home to the Strong Arms mental health education curriculum, as well as a compliance education program.
“It’s the best way to provide consistent education to all [of] our members year after year.

Craig Herring, GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN 1994 , who is Grand Praetor of the South Georgia province, says Sigma Chi U has been important in teaching undergraduates about many aspects of the Fraternity, including its history and background. Sigma Chi U also allows Grand Praetors and chapter advisors to follow along with the material undergraduates are learning.
One of his chapters, Valdosta State, was part of the alpha test for Sigma Chi U in 2015; it was rolled out to all chapters in the fall of 2016. Herring says just about everyone at the chapter now has gone through the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program, which is administered on Sigma Chi U, and he believes it’s had an impact on them.
“I know there are a lot of factors [leading to change], but they’ve steadily improved,” Herring says.
The Interfraternity Council at Valdosta State recently honored
Sigma Chi as both its chapter of the year and most improved chapter, and even recognized it for excellence in philanthropy and community service.
Justin McCloskey, NORTH GEORGIA 2019 , who is his chapter’s outgoing Magister, joined the Fraternity when the Sigma Chi U learning management system was being debuted there.
“It’s extremely easy to use,” McCloskey says, adding that it was valuable for helping members make sure they know the ins and outs of how the Fraternity works.
Plus, the online nature of the system allows for flexibility.
“All these [undergraduates] have different schedules so they can use it at their leisure,” he says. “You can just pull out your laptop and do [Preparation for Brotherhood pledge education training] after you do your regular homework.”
It’s just great that we are able to create the foundation for a system that has advanced our education farther than we’ve ever had it before,” Cogdal says. “Really, all the bells and whistles that Sigma Chi U provides to our members come from the generosity of Brother George.”
George’s financial contributions to Sigma Chi go beyond funding the creation of Sigma Chi U. In 2016, he retired the outstanding mortgage debt on the Georgia Tech chapter’s house, which is the single-most generous gift to the chapter in its history.
George and his wife, Penny, started the George Family Foundation in 1994 with the mission to foster wholeness in mind, body, spirit and community by developing authentic leaders and supporting transformative programs serving the common good, according to its website.
The foundation has an annual grantmaking budget of $3.8 million, and the grant that created Sigma Chi U was part of a larger $1.6 million round of giving.
George, who lives in Minneapolis with his wife, says he eventually plans to give away 30 percent to 40 percent of his net worth.
He says he’s made a point to remember Sigma Chi in his philanthropic giving as a way to offer thanks for the role it played in his success.
“My four years at the Beta Psi chapter were the most important in my development as a leader,” he says, crediting that time with helping him foster personal growth, leadership, self-awareness, higher emotional intelligence and more.
“The Fraternity has given so much to me. It’s not an obligation to give back. It’s a desire,” George says.
The George Family Foundation, created in 1994 by Significant Sig Bill George, GEORGIA TECH 1964 , and his wife Penny George, funds programs and initiatives in four main focus areas: integrative health and healing; authentic leadership; communities connected to foundation board members; and emerging areas such as the environment, spirituality and mindfulness and the advancement of women and girls.
The $63 million private family foundation has an annual grant-making budget of more than $3.8 million. In 2016, it paid $3.9 million worth of grants, 27.4 percent of which focused on integrative health and healing, followed by 19.1 percent that supported authentic leadership programs. The George Family Foundation provided $100,000 to the Sigma Chi Foundation in support of Sigma Chi U; other grants went to the Georgia Tech Fraternity chapter for annual leadership training workshops and undergraduate scholarships.
The George Family Foundation concentrates on single and multiyear programmatic grants, and does not make capital or endowment gifts.
“We are grateful to be able to do the work we do through the foundation,” Penny George writes in the 2016 annual report. We continue to hold as our lodestar our core principle of spiritual reciprocity — as we give, so we receive. This means we seek to partner with the leaders whose vision, ideas and heavy lifting are making our communities better places for us all to live and work.”

Watson and his wife Kim made the initial monetary gift to create the museum; other funds from brothers followed to complete the project.
The Sigma Chi Foundation relies upon generous donations from Fraternity members and their families to provide character-based leadership training for those affiliated with Sigma Chi. As of March 31, 2018, the Foundation had awarded $2.13 million in grants and scholarships during the 2017 to 2018 fiscal year to help operate the Fraternity’s programs and provide education to members.
The funds to make the grants and scholarships come from members; those who have provided the most lifetime giving are part of the Lockwood Society, meaning they have gifted $100,000 or more to the Foundation. The top donors within the Lockwood Society, listed here with their level of giving, are:

to help people suffering with it. He and his family began HCI in 1995, and HCF to support it in 2007.
Located in Salt Lake City, HCI is dedicated to finding a cure for cancer, creating and improving cancer treatments for patients, relieving their suffering and providing education about cancer risks, prevention and care.
After 25 years, HCI now hosts more than 125,000 patient visits annually, has more than 170 research teams studying cancer and curates the Utah Population Database, the largest genetic database in the world, which links the genealogies, health
The National Center for Charitable Sources says there are more than 1.5 million tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations in the United States, and according to Sector Source, there are more than 170,000 of them in Canada. This means selecting an organization to donate your money to can be daunting. Below are tips for finding one that shares your passion for advancing a specific cause and doing it well.
Determine what is important to you.
Is your heart leading you to support voting rights, animal welfare or a health-related concern? Whatever the concern, further specify the type of help you want to deliver. Are you interested in organizations that educate patients about cancer and give them rides to chemotherapy, for
records and birth, death and marriage records of 9 million people.
Researchers’ understanding of a person’s genetic predisposition to contracting cancer increases through the work with the database.
Helping identify genes, like BRCA1, which increases a woman’s chances of developing breast and ovarian cancer, is helping people take preventative measures that may save their lives, such as genetic testing. The testing may inform a patient’s medical decisions.
“We were one of the first labs in the world to recognize the importance of this,” says HCI’s executive medical director and senior director of clinical affairs, John Sweetenham.
However, according to those who knew Huntsman Sr., his legacy is more than the center, the foundation and the businesses he established, and the charities and organizations he supported — it is how he inspired others to commit to give.
“Wealth isn’t always measured in dollar signs,” Huntsman Sr. says in his 2008 book, Winners Never Cheat. “We each have time, talent and creativity, all of which can be powerful forces for positive change. Share your blessings in whatever form they come and to whatever level you have been blessed.”
To lifelong friend Significant Sig Al Shoemaker, PENNSYLVANIA 1960 , Huntsman represented American ideals.
“He started out with nothing, he built his fortune, and he’s given most of it away,” says Shoemaker. “He represents the best of the capitalist system.”
instance, or do you want to donate to those that rescue animals from regional or national shelters that are in danger of being euthanized? Consider whether you want to support a large or small organization that has a local, national or international scope.
Do your research.
Make sure the organization’s mission aligns with your values, and ensure that it is registered with the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)3 if it is headquartered in the U.S., or as a charity or qualified donee with the Canadian government. Also, examine the organization’s leadership, transparency and financial efficiency and sustainability.
Talk with the organization. A conversation with an official
at the organization can help you ascertain its goals, challenges and accomplishments. This discussion could be key to knowing that your dollars will be used wisely, because it can reveal if the organization has a roadmap for where it is headed and how well it is prepared to meet its objectives.
Determine your budget and follow your investment.
Understand the tax benefits of giving, and assess whether it makes more sense for you to donate at set intervals throughout the year or annually. After you make a donation, keep up with the organization to which you’ve given for a progress report on how funds have been utilized.

Huntsman’s rags-to-riches story and dogged commitment to ending cancer for the next generation, in concert with his philanthropic giving, are even more impressive after his actions during the stock market crash in 2008.
To meet his philanthropic commitments, Huntsman took out a high-powered loan — for charity. He knew food banks and women’s shelters were counting on the money he’d pledged. The banks hesitated. They reportedly said that nobody would be foolish enough to borrow money and give it away.
“I will not let those people down,” he is said to have told an official at the bank. “They’re counting on me for food.”
Huntsman Sr. also wanted to help those affected by cancer, establishing HCI, where fundraising dollars support researchers in the fight to end the disease.
When Nelson heard of Huntsman Sr.’s plan to end cancer years ago, he believed the Fraternity could get behind Huntsman Sr.
“I said, ‘Sigma Chi’s going to help you,’” Nelson says. “[Huntsman] said, ‘You think Sigma Chi would really do that?’”
Nelson went to Fraternity leaders in the early 2000s to encourage Fraternity support for Huntsman’s work with HCI, and Sigma Chis began to raise thousands of dollars for the institute. Nelson adds that HCF began to hire full-time staff to manage the partnership with the Fraternity.
In December 2012, Sigma Chi designated HCI as its sole preferred philanthropic partner and in 2015 pledged to raise $10 million in seven years
When deciding to give to charity, 819 respondents to a recent survey told two professors that a variety of factors led to their decisions. The findings were reported in the Dec. 11, 2017, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly.
Below are the factors, listed from most important to least important, as told to Sara Konrath, assistant professor of philanthropic studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and Femida Handy, professor of social policy at the University of Pennsylvania.
Donors want to give to others because of their selfless concern for others’ well-being. Other studies had previously shown that people are happier when they spend their money

for cancer research. Since 2005, Sigma Chis have donated more than $7.6 million to support the institute.
As Nelson and other Sigma Chis are committed to finding a cure for cancer, they carry on the work of Huntsman Sr., whom Nelson describes as being kind and appreciative. “He was the type of guy you wanted to do anything for,” says Nelson.
It seems clear that Nelson has gone out of his way to support Huntsman Sr. and his mission to help others, even joining the HCF staff at Huntsman Sr.’s encouragement.
Nelson is left with many lessons from his longtime friend. The biggest one? “Probably the importance of loving and serving other people,” he says.
on others — a feeling that is more likely to emerge when one or more of the core human needs of relatedness, competence or autonomy are engaged.
It may seem obvious, but the survey found that people are more likely to give to a nonprofit that they trust will use their money to make a difference.
Respondents say they are more willing to give their money when they know it will help someone they care about. For instance, this may be why people are motivated to give to a cause that is close to a family member’s heart, such as supporting the local youth organization in which their niece or nephew is involved.
In addition to the factors that motivated the respondents to give, there was one factor that led them not to give, or to hesitate to do so: the feeling that they cannot afford to donate their money to others.
Respondents say they give in order to receive a personal benefit, such as looking good to others.
People also give because of the tax deductions they receive for doing so.











Philanthropist donates millions of dollars to assist others through educational opportunities, leadership development and other causes.

Significant Sig Steve Denning, GEORGIA TECH 1970 , chairman of the growth equity investment firm General Atlantic, didn’t have to look far for inspiration for his philanthropic giving. He was the second investment professional hired by Chuck Feeney after Feeney founded General Atlantic in 1980. By then, Feeney was already a successful businessman, having co-founded Duty Free Shoppers, a network of duty-free shops around the world.
But only four years after creating General Atlantic, Feeney secretly transferred his nearly 40 percent stake in Duty Free to his charitable arm and quietly set out to give away all of his fortune, eventually donating $8 billion to charitable causes by 2017.
Long before billionaires such as Bill Gates, Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet vowed to donate large portions of their wealth — and started encouraging others who are among America’s wealthiest individuals and couples to follow suit through the Giving Pledge — Feeney was secretly supporting causes around the

world. Feeney was reportedly doing so starting in 1982, prompting Forbes magazine to dub him the James Bond of philanthropy.
Denning, too, has a long track record of philanthropic giving. And, much in the spirit of his longtime business partner, Feeney, he was reticent to talk about it. “You see the tremendous, profound need around the world and you’re fortunate to generate the means to give back,” Denning says, speaking of his time and money.
Denning has been generous with both types of resources. He has served on the boards and advisory councils of numerous civic, academic and charitable organizations. He’s also taken an active role at Stanford University, where he received his MBA from the Graduate School of Business in 1978.
He served on Stanford University’s board of trustees from 2004 to 2017, including as its chairman from 2012 to 2017. He is emeritus chairman of the Graduate School of Business Advisory Council and serves as chairman of the Global Advisory Council to the President, the Advisory Council of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and the Natural Capital Advisory Council. He’s on the advisory board of several other programs at Stanford, including the Distinguished Career Institute and the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program.
“You see the tremendous, profound need around the world and you’re fortunate to generate the means to give back,” Denning says.
The Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program was named for former Stanford President John L. Hennessy and Stanford graduate school alumnus Philip Knight, co-founder of Nike Inc., who donated $400 million to help start the program. Every year it gives 100 students with demonstrated leadership and civic commitment three years of funding to pursue advanced degrees at Stanford.
Denning and his wife, Roberta, who has an undergraduate degree and MBA from Stanford, also played a key role in launching the program, giving a $50 million gift to its endowment.
“It’s an incredible opportunity to bring in 100 students from around the world every year [who] will have a huge impact on Stanford,” Denning says.
Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne lauds Denning for the impact he and his wife have had on Stanford. “He is an extraordinary leader, and his knowledge and commitment to all things Stanford are profound,” Tessier-Lavigne says. “Steve possesses so many gifts as a leader: He is strategic, he fosters positive relationship building, he knows when and at what level to engage.”
Tessier-Lavigne adds that the Dennings have left an indelible mark on the university. “I am so
very grateful for their impact on our community and the world,” Tessier-Lavigne says.
Denning’s generosity extends to his undergraduate alma mater as well. He is a Trustee Emeritus of the Georgia Tech Foundation and former member of the Georgia Tech Advisory Board.
In 2007, Denning committed $5 million over five years to Georgia Tech’s Technology and Management Program, which enrolls a select group of undergraduate majors from the colleges of business, computing and engineering.
In 2010, he made a commitment to provide the college with a second $5 million gift that was matched by another benefactor. The program is now called the Steven A. Denning Technology and Management Program. “Georgia Tech and Stanford were the springboard to what I’ve been able to do,” Denning says.
As a way to give back to other students, Denning says he was compelled to help seed programs the administration thought would enrich and deepen the educational opportunities at both schools and make the schools better.
Denning credits his time as a member of the Georgia Tech undergraduate chapter for helping make him into the man he is today.
He attended the university on a Navy ROTC scholarship, and says that prior to exploring the university, he had not been to Atlanta or on an airplane. However, once on campus, he joined Sigma Chi. He says it was great to be a part of the culture and fabric of the Fraternity, which shaped him in immeasurable ways.
“It reinforced [within me] a lot of Christian values and values you have as an individual,” he says. “It clearly had an influence on me.”
However, when looking back upon Denning’s life, there has also been what he calls the extraordinary example made by Feeney. “His willingness to be so generous … I was clearly influenced by him,” Denning says.
Denning says he plans to continue supporting a variety of causes: education, entrepreneurship, leadership development, local causes near his homes in Greenwich, Connecticut, and San Francisco, and the environment. He has already served as a member of the board and co-chair of The Nature Conservancy and a member of the board of the National Parks Conservation Association.
“It’s a way to give back to others, deal with inequities and in one small way, improve the human condition,” he says.
However, he adds, the work he does to better the lives of others is a collective effort. “What you end up doing in life and what you achieve is a function of the people you surround yourself with and the opportunities you’re given as a result,” he says. “It’s the work of many people, not myself. I’m happy to be a catalyst and part of it. You don’t do it alone.”
Our chapter was excited to host its annual Derby Days philanthropic event week from April 8 to 14, 2018, benefiting Children’s of Alabama medical center and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Derby Days has turned into the largest Greek-letter philanthropic event at the University of Alabama. Some of our events include the Derby Dash 5K run, a house decoration contest, as well as various front yard games. In 2017, our Derby Days set a University of Alabama record with more than $40,000 donated and we hoped to have similar success again this year.

This past fall semester, our chapter had a successful time. Our Derby Days philanthropic event held Sept. 24 to 29, 2017, raised $2,100 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We had every member participate and reflect on the week, and received positive feedback — especially with the event we held that raised awareness for our family and friends who have or had cancer. This was a balloon-release vigil, and it was the most powerful thing our chapter witnessed during Derby Days week. In all, the sweetheart chapter of Sigma Chi is doing wonderful and is ready to increase its philanthropic efforts.

Our chapter had a successful past few months, beginning with the addition of three new members in our fall pledge class and the future addition of 15 potential members from the winter pledge class. The chapter is working toward assisting the Gratiot County, Michigan, community. Though the chapter may be small, that does not stop us from making a large impact. We consistently volunteer time in hospitals, pet shelters and soup kitchens, and even read to children in the nearby city of Ithaca. All of our efforts are creating a positive image of not only our chapter, but all of Sigma Chi.

With our Derby Days philanthropic event from March 26 to 31, 2018, we emphasized our commitment to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. As Julian Wilson, 2018 , last year’s philanthropy chairman, put it, the positive impact of the late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, on thousands of people will carry on through generations. We honor Huntsman’s legacy through increased efforts for his foundation. Recognizing that sororities and other women’s groups on campus make the greatest contributions to our philanthropy, we are directing community service efforts toward N Street Village, a women’s shelter in downtown Washington, D.C.
~Tim Lund, 2020
During the fall 2017 semester, we initiated 20 new members into the Fraternity; raised more than $26,000 during our Derby Days philanthropic event from Oct. 16 to 21, which surpasses our previous year’s total of $10,000; and had a chapter GPA of 3.047. As of this writing, so far this semester we had 21 new pledges. Our chapter sees a lot of potential in this spring class. We were excited about the rest of the semester and the even greater potential in the coming years.
~Joseph McCarty, 2019
Our chapter continues to be on a steady upward trend. As of this writing, we had 12 pledges for the spring 2018 semester. Our members have been planning and getting ready to start our first on-campus Derby Days philanthropic event since 2013. We were excited to take part in various sororities’ philanthropic events for the first time since 2013 as well. We completed another community service event assisting with the Junior League of Phoenix’s annual rummage sale on Feb. 24. We are excited for what is to come in the near future.

At the time of this writing, we were off to a great spring semester, coming off a fall semester just as impressive, full of members who were active in our chapter and our university. During the fall, we welcomed 49 men who have found their home here at Sigma Chi. We also raised funds for our chapter’s philanthropy, Arkansas Children’s Hospital. As of this writing, we had accepted 10 men to be initiated as members this spring, and looked forward to our annual Derby Days philanthropic event on March 29 to end an exciting and prosperous school year.

Our chapter’s most meaningful philanthropic event this past spring was participating in the Make-A-Wish Have-A-Heart Wish-A-Thon on Feb. 16. The event raises money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and consists of multiple roadblocks across northwestern Arkansas. Throughout the day, we volunteered at a local roadblock and helped collect donations at a busy intersection. The event raised a total of $421,843 through all of the roadblocks. This event has been the most meaningful because of the impact it has on children with cancer. It brings joy to our chapter knowing we will have helped fulfill a child’s wish.

This year has been a tremendous success for our chapter. We are closer than ever to building our new house in a lot on campus that our chapter has owned for close to 20 years. With fundraising successes and a fantastic turnout for our Derby Days philanthropic event, we hoped the plans for the new house could go into action by the end of the summer. While we are excited to break ground this summer, we know that we would not be here without the continued support of our alumni along the way.

Last fall, we initiated 40 new members. We also had a fun and successful Derby Days philanthropic event from Oct. 11 to 13, raising about $13,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Although our university imposed a ban on social events in the fall of 2017, we reacted by learning more about preventing sexual assault and ways to end alcohol abuse. At Ball State’s Grand Chapter Award Ceremony, our chapter was pleased that Chad Kelham, BALL STATE 2005 , received an Honorary Greek Leader of the Year award. We had a great year, and are excited for this next one.

They have many experiences and much wisdom to help guide our chapter to the noble standards upon which Sigma Chi was founded. The chapter also welcomed 28 men into the Fraternity on Feb. 24, 2018. As we entered the month of March, our chapter was excited to see what the rest of the spring semester would hold.

Our chapter had a successful fall 2018 semester, earning a top-five GPA among on-campus fraternities. We have also had a lot of success establishing philanthropic ventures within the local community. On March 9, 2018, we served as sponsors for the Children’s Miracle Network’s Dance Marathon, contributing to the nearly $24,000 that the event raised. Additionally, we were planning to host a charity golf tournament later on in the semester. Lastly, we have members volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club as well as at local soup kitchens and food pantries within the Greater Binghamton, New York, area every weekend.

The philanthropist who inspires us here at our chapter is Hill Carmichael, 2002 . Carmichael is the executive director of Urban Ministry, based in Birmingham, Alabama, which is a faith-based nonprofit that focuses on providing a safe and positive community for the citizens of Birmingham. The organization offers programs such as tutoring to help students succeed in the classroom and a community garden to help provide healthy food sources for Birmingham’s citizens. Carmichael inspires us to look at practical methods of helping the people of Birmingham on a daily basis.

Annually, our chapter organizes a Derby Days philanthropic event. Our chapter is only six years old and even in our short existence our members have been affected by cancer. In 2014 our brother Kendall Francisco, 2016 , entered the Chapter Eternal after passing away from cancer. At every chapter meeting, we have a stuffed bear and it has its own seat. We call this bear the “Kendall Bear” and it continues to remind us of Francisco’s unwavering friendship toward all who knew him and why we dedicate our philanthropic efforts to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Ryan Faithe, 2018
We are happy about the direction in which our chapter is heading. We finished the fall 2017 semester with the second-highest GPA among Interfraternity Council fraternities on campus. In addition, we brought in six new pledges this semester through informal recruitment efforts such as a football championship watch-party at Buffalo Wild Wings, a cigar night and an alumni dinner. We were also excited about our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 9 to 13. We planned to exceed our goal of raising $10,000 with activities including a Derby Dash, a cooler painting competition and a carnival in the university’s Greekletter housing village.

David Meyer, 1981 , is an inspiration for our chapter to give back. Meyer helps the chapter with the Ritual Bridge and initiation ceremonies. In turn, the chapter volunteers with him at an annual archery event, which was held this year on Feb. 17, at the Woodruff Career and Technical Center high school in Peoria, Illinois. Additionally, during the fall, the chapter rakes leaves and cleans his property. Derby Days is the most meaningful philanthropic event to our chapter. We understand that cancer touches everyone’s lives; Derby Days showcases how much we care for those who have to battle this disease.

Our chapter is growing strong. In the fall 2018 semester, the chapter initiated two men, and we added three more during the spring semester. With only three members graduating this year and continuing their future as alumni, the chapter is headed in the right direction, increasing strong potential leadership for next year. It is never just about the numbers, though. This year, our chapter has grown closer to one another and a huge reason why is because of the opportunities we had serving together. One goal we strive for is to leave the Fraternity better than when we found it.

As of this writing, the second semester had been a busy one. After electing our new executive officer team, some of our members took the road down south and joined other chapters at the University of Oregon in Eugene for the annual province workshop on March 10, 2018. There, our Chapter Balfour Award winner Alim Lakhiyalov, 2018 , won the Province Balfour Award. For the first time ever, our annual blood drive, held March 15, was organized on campus thanks to our community service chairman, Devon Gould, 2019. His efforts enabled around 200 students to donate blood and make a difference.
~Thibault De Wit, 2019
We have selected two philanthropic organizations to donate the proceeds of our philanthropic activities to: the Huntsman Cancer Institute and United Way of Rhode Island. From chapter discussions, it became apparent that many members had experienced the devastating effects cancer has on individuals and their friends and families. Fortunate and grateful to have Providence, Rhode Island, as our home for our four years at Brown, we feel a strong desire to give back to our surrounding community. Through our contributions and volunteer efforts with United Way, we hope to make a lasting positive impact on the Providence community.
~Alex Hill, 2019

Our chapter was off to a fast start in 2018. Our recruitment chairman, Noah Pease, 2020, ran a successful recruitment week that attracted more than 45 potential new members. After a well-planned pinning ceremony and Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program thanks to our Kustos Corey Haskell, 2019, and Magister Zachary Mastrianni, 2018 , we initiated 16 new members into our Fraternity. As of this writing, we had a lot going on for the remainder of the semester, including our Derby Days philanthropic event to be held April 9 to 14. Our committee, led by Will Tondo, 2019, was working to meet our $20,000 fundraising goal.
~Tondo
Bucknell Kappa
Our chapter has been incredibly busy this spring semester. As of this writing, we were preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event in April, and had been active in various other philanthropic events, such as Speak UP Bucknell, a peer education group dedicated to ending sexual violence on campus, and the Relay for Life walk to raise funds for the fight against cancer. Derby Days has always been an important week for us and making sure we make others aware of the Huntsman Cancer Institute is our No. 1 priority.
~Niko Spyropoulos, 2019

We were excited to welcome 32 outstanding potential new members during the spring semester. We are proud to say that we raised more than $17,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute before our Derby Days philanthropic event week had even begun, and we were on pace to raise more than $25,000 before the year is over. Themed “Seven Derby Sins,” we expected the slate of events to run from March 25 to 30. As our semester wrapped up, we hoped to continue to become the generation that ends cancer.
~Scott Hevel, 2020
Kappa Theta
Our biggest inspiration when it comes to philanthropy is the late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA
1959. Our biggest philanthropic event of the year is our annual Huntsman Dinner, held this school year on Sept. 2, 2017, where we raise money to give back to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We invite our family, friends and fellow Sigma Chis to appreciate and raise money for what one of the Fraternity’s most significant alumnus members has done for the community and our organization. We look forward to another successful dinner next fall.
~Conor Maloney, 2020
Our chapter is committed not only to the development of the men within our own Fraternity, but also to the development of the community in which we live. Our chapter annually takes part in the Kids Day event that benefits Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera, California, as well as the Harvest of Hope fundraiser benefiting Catholic Charities Diocese of Fresno, California. We have long partnered with Valley Children’s Hospital and are proud of the Fresno alumni chapter’s involvement through support of our contributions to both Valley Children’s and the community at large.

As our chapter grows and establishes itself, we are striving to set the foundation of philanthropic excellence. Over the 2017 holiday season, we sponsored families in need and supplied them with toys for Christmas as well as living essentials. This year, we wanted to raise the bar for our Derby Days philanthropic event, so we set our fundraising goal to $30,000. We can proudly say we raised more than $35,000 to be the generation to end cancer. We don’t wait for change to happen, but rather be the change we want to see.
~Jared Calloway, 2019

We kicked off our winter quarter in true philanthropic fashion. As is tradition, on Feb. 24, 2018, we put our best foot forward in executing our annual event, Puppy Love, wherein guests are invited to play with and potentially adopt shelter dogs. All proceeds benefited Hearts for Paws, a nonprofit group in Davis, California, seeking to aid disadvantaged canines. Ultimately, our chapter raised nearly $2,500, making it one of our most successful winter philanthropic events. In conclusion, our efforts led to the chapter receiving a philanthropy award from our school’s Interfraternity Council.
~Sourena Shir, 2019
California-Irvine Eta Sigma
Our chapter hosted its annual Derby Days philanthropic event from Jan. 26 to 30, 2018, and raised $9,000. We also raised the most money for two philanthropies on campus. The first was Kappa Alpha Theta women’s fraternity’s Theta Shootout fundraiser on Feb. 2 for Court-Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County, California, an organization dedicated to getting kids out of the foster care system more quickly. The second was Sigma Kappa Sorority’s Ultra Violet campaign the week of Feb. 4 to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. On March 10, we initiated five new members and we are excited to see what they can contribute to our chapter.
~Marco De La Cruz, 2020
We were enthusiastic to host our annual Derby Days philanthropic event this year in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This three-day event was to be filled with obstacle courses, bubble soccer and team games in an effort to create an all-inclusive, interactive event that allows our student body to come together and support a worthy cause. Furthermore, our chapter attended an inspiring Crossroads drug and alcohol education seminar on Jan. 27, and Mason Henrich, 2020, and Matthew Koelzer, 2020, were awarded Interfraternity Council merit scholarships for displaying qualities of outstanding character within our chapter.
~Kyle Kirk, 2020
We have had a very memorable spring 2018 semester. While upholding the values we cherish, our members were invested in their studies and fulfilling their duties within the chapter and numerous other campus organizations. With more than 10 members graduating this year, our chapter was focused on obtaining an exceptional new pledge class and were successful in recruiting eight new members who were eager to continue our chapter’s tradition of striving for excellence. In addition, we hosted our Founders Day on March 14 and achieved yet another prosperous Derby Days philanthropic event week from March 19 to 23, raising over $7,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Nathan Bomar, 2018

Our chapter held its annual scholarship banquet in the spring in honor of Emilio Cruz, 1994 , welcoming friends and family of members, as well as alumni, to honor the memory of an honorable and inspiring Sig. In attendance at the banquet were members of Cruz’s family; our chapter sweetheart, Evan Barosay; and our excellent chapter advisor, Nate Smith, 2001 , who is stepping down from his position at the end of this year. This banquet represents our chapter’s pursuit of excellence that defines our members’ character and the culture of the Fraternity, and gives members an opportunity to appreciate their history and heritage.
~Ian Stafford, 2019
California-Santa Barbara Zeta Kappa
We recently installed our newest executive board members, who are extremely excited to lead the chapter down the right path. We were planning for our first Derby Days philanthropic event since reinstallation, to be held May 7 to 11, 2018. The chapter hoped the event would be successful, and that we would raise as much money as possible
for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We plan to dedicate our first Derby Days to the late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, as his philanthropic efforts and values-driven life inspire us to be better men every day.
~Colby Jordan, 2019
Carnegie Mellon Lambda Pi
Our chapter is proud to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). Our Derby Days philanthropic event held from Sept. 19 to 23, 2017, raised more than $5,000 for HCI. We also support Camp Kesem, a camp for children whose parents are affected by cancer. Our most recent Sigma Fry fundraiser in which we sell fried goods on campus was held on March 2. Through these events, we raised nearly $1,500 for Camp Kesem during the 2017 to 2018 school year. Our philanthropy chairman, Paul Rogozenski, 2018 , has done a great job in leading the chapter’s philanthropic efforts.
~Arnav Jain, 2019
Case Western Beta Eta
This academic year, we worked hard to enliven our Derby Days philanthropic event, held from Sept. 23 to 30, 2017, and raise more than $8,000. Since our campus is located adjacent to the University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center in Cleveland, which most of us walk past every day on our way to class, we decided to keep the money in the local community. Through a partnership with Cleveland Clothing Co., we used the funds to purchase winter hats that we delivered to patients at Seidman. We have enough hats left over that we are planning more visits in the future.

The men of our chapter excelled in academic performance for fall 2017, coming in with a 3.16 GPA, the highest among all fraternities on campus. Our chapter GPA also exceeded the all-Greek average, the all-men’s average, the all-women’s average and the all-student average. Kudos to the co-chairmen of our 2018 Derby Days philanthropic event, Rohan Doodnauth, 2018 , and Dillon Wilson, 2018 , for beating the $20K mark for the first time, netting some $23,000 for the benefit of the Huntsman Cancer Institute during the week of Feb. 26.

Our chapter was coming to the end of an incredible spring 2018 semester. We initiated a group of men whom we truly believe to be the best on campus. Our chapter is revamping our philanthropic efforts and, as of this writing, we had already surpassed
our total 2016 to 2017 contribution to the Huntsman Cancer Institute with our Derby Days philanthropic event still on the horizon. We remain committed to the values of the Fraternity and are striving for a Peterson Significant Chapter Gold Award. We are excited about where we stand, but we know that we can always improve.
~Bailey Spade, 2019
Charleston Iota Epsilon
Our chapter started 2018 on a great note. We looked forward to our Derby Days philanthropic event, which was to start on April 9, 2018. We hoped to raise $25,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute; YES Carolina, a youth entrepreneurship organization; and the Zippy Fund, founded by Anthony Cimino, 2016 , and his family to help children with cancer. We are up to 73 members and growing, with a spring pledge class of three men. Three members hold Interfraternity Council officer positions: Dylan Cooper, 2021 , for risk management, George Kennedy, 2019, as treasurer and Ross Sigal, 2021 , for philanthropy. Chris Kienzle, 2018 , was honored with the Province Balfour Award.

We have been celebrating our new chapter house, which allows us to have a stronger presence on campus. This has resulted in two impressive pledge classes, with 17 fall initiates and 11 men going through the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program at the time of this writing. We have had much individual success in athletics, with several conference championships in both wrestling and track and field. Three of our members were finalists in the College New Venture Challenge entrepreneurship competition and Benjamin Elias, 2020, won for his presentation of Quevos, a highprotein snack chip.
~Jackson Mariotti, 2019

After record-breaking fundraising for our Derby Days philanthropic events last September and October, where we raised more than $36,000, our chapter carried that momentum into the spring. We planned to use our resources to send 20 members to Nicaragua, the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, to provide clean and accessible water to rural communities. At home, we are continuing to tutor students at the nonprofit organization Inner City Youth Opportunities in Cincinnati each week, participate in the Greek-letter community’s philanthropies and build on our chapter GPA of 3.322.

Our chapter draws its philanthropic inspirations from personal experience. Having numerous members, family members and friends affected by cancer and related illnesses is our motivation for our primary philanthropy, Huntsman Cancer Institute. Members of our chapter are introduced to our philanthropic dedication through multiple fundraisers every semester and our annual Derby Days philanthropic event in the fall. The chapter’s 30th-anniversary celebration was to take place from April 20 to 22, 2018, at various locations on campus and in downtown Potsdam, New York. Events included a casual running tour, pig roast and banquet.
~Brendan McBride, 2019

We are ecstatic to report another fall and spring of strong recruitment. We welcomed 13 initiates in the fall who were proving themselves to be excellent members of the chapter. By the end of the spring semester, we were planning to initiate all six members of our current pledge class. Multiple members of the chapter were accepted to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit this summer, and we are excited for the productive knowledge they are sure to bring back to us. Looking forward, we were excited to host a Derby Days philanthropic event this past spring for the first time in years.

It has been an exciting spring 2018 semester for our chapter. As of this writing, we were planning our Derby Days philanthropic event, which benefits the Huntsman Cancer Institute, for April 28. During the spring, we were striving for our largest Derby Days to date. We have recently strengthened our relationship with the New York City Alumni Chapter and look forward to future events with them. Our members maintain active roles on campus as well, including as members of various sports teams and other student organizations. This summer, many of us are finding opportunities working or interning in New York City.
~Ryan Gilbert, 2019
We continued to thrive as we looked toward the end of yet another semester and the celebration of the chapter’s 75th anniversary during the weekend of April 18, 2018. A strong spring pledge class of young men who are passionate about the Fraternity continue to remind even the oldest members of the value of being a Sig. The process of regaining campus recognition is still ongoing as we strive to meet our university’s expectations. We look forward to sharing the Fraternity’s new policies with our university, as they will enable us to greatly strengthen our case.
~Nick Davis, 2019

Our chapter welcomed 22 new members this past February. The new member class comes from a wide variety of academic backgrounds and geographic locations. Additionally, contributing to this new class is Nico Mottesi, 2021 , a member of the varsity baseball team, and Collin Stockton, 2020, a member of the varsity sprint football team. As of this writing, the men of our chapter were gearing up and getting organized for our Derby Days philanthropic event to take place from April 29 to May 5. We hoped to have another successful year in raising donations for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

The major event that all of our members and other Greek-letter organizations were looking forward to had to be our first Derby Days philanthropic event the week of March 19, 2018, leading up to the campus-wide Greek Formal on March 24. Kennon Casey, 2020, became philanthropy chairman after being initiated in the fall of 2017 and has done a phenomenal job. He has brought the excitement of having a Derby Days week and awareness of cancer research to our campus. We hope that our excitement will spread into our surrounding community.
~Bryce Parson, 2020

Our newly initiated class and our incoming executive officers got things started with a focus on philanthropic service with our annual Trampathon on April 26 and 27, 2018, at the Scotia Square mall in Halifax, Nova Scotia, benefiting the Children’s Wish Foundation. May 5 marked the 85th anniversary of our chapter, which we were planning to celebrate along with our sweetheart ball at the Ashburn Golf Club in Halifax. We approached the occasion with a sense of gratitude for both the successes and the failures of our predecessors, and with optimism for the next 85 years of our shared legacy.

We have had a year to remember. Welcoming in 12 new initiates who embody what it means to be true Sigma Chis, we look forward to the future of our chapter. These initiates only add to the outstanding group already part of our chapter. Filled with athletes, scholars, creative thinkers and leaders, our chapter has continued to be exceptional members on campus. At the time of this writing, we were getting ready for our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 16 to 20, 2018, following our chapter’s 150th-anniversary celebration from April 13 to 15.
~Wyatt Donnelly, 2019

The chapter celebrated its 70th anniversary on Oct. 21, 2017, with a large gathering of alumni and undergraduates. After the loss of our chapter house and a membership review, the new executive board led by Consul Patrick Barrett, 2019, has renewed our focus on accountability. Magister Riley Renick, 2020, has embraced the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program and was looking forward to starting our pledges’ lifelong journey this spring. We were looking forward to the third-annual Clay Day in memory of Clay Soper, 2018 , on May 11 at the Arapahoe Basin ski area in Keystone, Colorado.
~Chase Hopkins, 2020

This year, we shifted our philanthropic focus to a cause closely tied to our beloved city of Chicago. We chose to dedicate our philanthropic efforts to support Chicago Public Schools, an educational system that is deteriorating as a result of various factors, including the improper allocation of funding. In an effort to make an impact, our chapter used Donors Choose, a fundraising platform that assists teachers seeking financial assistance for necessary classroom resources, such as writing materials and books. We are inspired by the hardworking and dedicated teachers and faculty who inspire young students every day to change the world.
~Benjamin Hatch, 2019

From Oct. 20 to 24, 2017, members of our chapter and the Pi Beta Phi women’s fraternity chapter at our school traveled to New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity. There, we helped rebuild a house destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and offered assistance to people who still face the damages of the hurricane. As of this writing, we were preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 8 to 13, including a flag football tournament, a Penny Wars competition, a knockout tournament and a dance competition. We hoped to reach our goal of raising $5,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Charles Nash, 2019
Drake Theta Gamma
As of this writing, we were looking forward to continuing a great spring 2018 semester that would include sorority philanthropic events and our second philanthropic event of the school year, the Belize Dance Marathon on April 25, raising money over several months for the James Arthur Albert Foundation to fund education programs for children in Belize. We were also excited to continue the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program with our new members. Finally, we are happy to announce that our chapter GPA increased by 0.17 points in the fall semester and we expected that trend to continue during the spring semester and into the future.
~Collin Apgar, 2019
After a successful spring recruitment, our chapter had 15 new members going through the pledge process. We continued to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) via a March Madness bracket fundraiser, through which we hoped to raise an additional $2,000 for HCI; for the year, we raised more than $10,000 for the institute. While we will be sadly saying goodbye to our seniors at the end of this semester, we are excited to build on our momentum as a chapter. We hope to continue to be the most active philanthropic chapter on campus.
~Benjamin Leonard, 2020
After a successful fall 2017 semester, during which we initiated 18 new members, we were powering into the spring semester by preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 2 to 5 and setting our fundraising goal twice as high as it was the previous year. We’ve made an effort to become more involved in the community and with our campus by participating in more events. Most recently, some of our members helped remodel the Veterans of Foreign Wars center in nearby Elizabethton, Tennessee, and we had other service projects planned to help make a positive impact on our community.
~Xavier Grisham, 2019
This year, our chapter participated in a range of philanthropic events, including Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity’s 5K run/walk for suicide awareness on March 4, 2018, and Elonthon, our university’s premier philanthropic event benefiting Duke Children’s Hospital, from April 13 to 14. In addition, our chapter raised more than $35,000 through its annual Derby Days philanthropic event from April 3 to 6, contributing a chapter record in funds to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The chapter also initiated 13 new members, including James Stirling, 2021 , son of our chapter's founding father James Stirling, MARYLAND and ELON 1990
~Kevin MacWilliams, 2019
We are pleased to have had a productive 2017. At the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, we received the Peterson Significant Chapter Blue Award. We also initiated 11 new members. The spring of 2018 proved eventful as well. We welcomed our most recent pledge class in addition to our chapter sweetheart, Alexis Glenn. We were exceptionally motivated in preparation for our Derby Days philanthropic event. Last year’s success and the life of the late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, inspire us to always strive to better our contributions.
~David Marsilio, 2021
Our chapter was enjoying yet another exciting semester at the time of this writing. We were eagerly awaiting our Derby Days philanthropic event to be held the first week of April and have been progressively raising more money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute with a goal of $20,000 in our sights. We are meaningfully inspired to raise money to battle cancer for the greater good of the world and those we love. Our members could not wait to see the good we could do with the money we raised.
~Daniel Ostrove, 2020
We are preparing for our 30th-anniversary celebration with a tailgate party with founding fathers and alumni, which will take place in January or February of 2019. From Oct. 8 to 13, 2017, we held our annual Derby Days philanthropic event. We are the only chapter on campus who does a week for cancer. The women’s fraternity that raised the most money this year was Theta Phi Alpha. We raised a total of around $4,000 that we plan to donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This spring semester, we recruited 10 potential new members. We are excited to see where they can take us in the future.
~Naetrell Thomas, 2019
We have made several strides to become the most prestigious organization at the school. Apart from having leaders across campus and a strong GPA, members exceed expectations every day. Our members have been vital to our philanthropic and service events, as well as other organizations’ events. In the Interfraternity Council’s Chicken Wing Charity Thing event on March 15, 2018, at Flavet Field on campus, we placed second out of 24 Greekletter chapters in raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network. We recently made the substantial decision to begin plans to build a new chapter facility on our current property on campus.
~Tyler Cameron, 2019

In our resilient spirit, we see the national microscope on Greek-letter life as an opportunity to demonstrate what Sigma Chi is truly about. We started last semester with a Hurricane Irma cleanup that proudly earned us the winter quarter Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action™ Leadership Award. We worked hard to have a great Derby Days philanthropic event from Feb. 16 to 18, 2018, and achieved our goal of hitting the $20K Club for the second consecutive year. The Greek-letter system is something valued by so many; we are motivated by the adversity we’re facing and are determined to use it as an opportunity for change.
~Sebastian Scalera, 2021
Florida Gulf Coast Lambda Zeta
While we came to the end of another fantastic spring semester, our chapter was ending strong. We celebrated our eighth Founders Day anniversary on Feb. 13, 2018, by selling white roses in order to help bring us closer to the Huntsman Cancer Institute $20K Club. With Significant Sig and Order of Constantine Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, passing away earlier this year, it pushed us to work harder than ever in our philanthropic fundraisers. We still say proudly that we will be the generation to end cancer. We were excited to recruit our next class of members for fall 2018.
~Paden Retherford, 2020
Florida Southern Epsilon Sigma
We looked forward to finishing a great 2017 to 2018 academic year. We raised our overall GPA to 3.27 and initiated one of our biggest pledge classes in the fall. Additionally, we had a spring pledge class for the first time in three years. We met a lot of the goals we set for ourselves while attending the 2017 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, such as reaching out and familiarizing ourselves with our alumni. Through constant communication with newsletters and email updates, we have taken the first step to reconnect with them. We are still committed to meeting the rest of our goals.
~Hogan MacIntyre, 2019
Fort Hays Zeta Tau
This past spring was a different semester for our chapter. We had no house this year, making it harder to stay connected. We held chapter meetings and some ceremonies for pledges in meeting rooms provided by the school. Not having a house made recruitment more difficult than usual, but we were able to recruit three men. For our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 23 to 28, local businesses around Hays, Kansas, donated around $1,000 in raffle prizes and $1,000 in cash. We also had two local businesses, Billy Sims Barbecue and Pasta Jay’s, cater events.
~Brian Cummings, 2020
Furman Iota Nu
We have worked these past two years to redefine our chapter’s approach toward philanthropy. We were coming off of our biggest philanthropic year after becoming part of the $20K Club. After last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, we decided one of our goals was to have being part of the $20K Club become our standard. Our aim is to devote ourselves to raising money not just for one week, but for the entire school year. We strive to be the change we want to see in the world, and with our strong leadership we are working to establish ourselves as philanthropic leaders in our community.
~Riley Gessner, 2019

We earned recognition as a Chapter of Achievement in the university’s 2017 Standards of Excellence review of Greek-letter organizations. We also received the Achievement Award in the area of Chapter Management and Self Governance as presented by the office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. After a 13-year absence, the chapter plans to hold Derby Days philanthropic events April 30 to May 4, 2019, which will include international fundraising to benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute. See derbychallenge.org to show your support throughout the year. Our 30th-anniversary celebration will be April 6, 2019. Save the date. For more information please see masonsigmachi.com.
~Andrew McDowell, 2019
George Washington Epsilon
Our chapter has had a successful year, pinning 24 pledges and fully adjusting to our new delayed spring recruitment process. Our Derby Days philanthropic event from March 3 to 4, 2018, was a success, and as of this writing we were waiting to tally our total funds raised for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We were also excited about our formal at Snowshoe Mountain ski resort in Snowshoe, West Virginia, on March 24 and 25. We have also invested time and effort in improving our chapter house at 2156 F Street NW in Washington, D.C., by building a picnic table and repainting the basement.
~Jack Fagan, 2019

We are inspired to give back to others because of a tragedy that a had direct impact on our chapter. Michael Woods was a member’s cousin who lost his life to addiction, and his death was the impetus for creating an organization that could connect students struggling with addiction to the recovery resources they need. Our chapter has partnered with the Recovery Dawgs Foundation in Athens, Georgia, to promote its twofold purpose: creating a culture where students needing help feel supported in their battle with addiction and equipping students with access to financial resources to receive the treatment they need.
~Justin Timm, 2021
Georgia Southern Eta Zeta
Our chapter is proud and honored to report another great semester of hard work and dedication in academics and raising money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). We have been working diligently to go beyond our $75,000 mark from last year and reach the $100,000 fundraising goal we have set for ourselves this year. Our chapter was preparing multiple new fundraising and sponsorship ideas for our Derby Days philanthropic event being held from April 9 to 13, 2018, in order to reach this goal and make a difference for HCI.
~Brandon Nordberg, 2016

Georgia Southwestern Eta Theta
We started our year by initiating 11 new members this past fall. We kicked off an alumni weekend on Jan. 20, 2018, consisting of a golf tournament and cookout to help build relations with them. Our Derby Days philanthropic event from Feb. 26 to March 1 was a success. Our school’s two women’s Greek-letter organizations participated all week in the events and helped us raise more than $7,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, which is more than $2,000 better than our previous year. It has been a successful year and we are looking forward to growing even more next year.
~Lane Odom, 2021
Georgia Tech Beta Psi
Four members have attended the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit over the past two summers and, after being blown away by their research and facility, led the charge to switch our philanthropy to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. After switching, total fundraising from our Derby Days philanthropic event increased by almost 60 percent this year. We had a renewed focus on fundraising and education throughout our Derby Days held from March 26 to 30, 2018, where our goal was to surpass last year’s fundraising by 65 percent. We are inspired by the Fraternity’s efforts in being the generation to end cancer.
~Hunter Podlin, 2019
Gettysburg Theta
Spirit and enthusiasm were growing each day in anticipation of our Derby Days philanthropic event, to be held from April 9 to 13, 2018. Our newest pledge class, which had not yet experienced Derby Days, was preparing as well. Last year we raised more than $40,000, which was an amazing feat for such a small college. This year, we made a pledge to raise $50,000 to donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This has motivated us to prepare and challenge ourselves like we have never done before. We hope to continue to inspire the Greek-letter organizations around us to fight to end cancer.

Hampden-Sydney Sigma Sigma
We are happy to announce that it has been another successful semester thus far for our chapter. John Dickerson, 2019, received all-conference honors for his performances this swimming season. Stewart Thames, 2019, was chosen to be the sports editor for the school newspaper. We are also enjoying another lacrosse season of watching Connor Pool, 2018 , Chandler Shaheen, 2018 , Johnston Little, 2018 , Jack Scheer, 2019, and Seamus Byrne, 2019, as they chase another Old Dominion Athletic Conference title. The chapter was looking forward to a fun and philanthropic Greek Week this April 2 to 7 benefiting the Virginia Recovery Foundation.
~Charles Zambetti, 2019
Hanover Chi
As of this writing, our chapter was happy to report the pledging of 16 soon-to-be new members. Former Consul Keaton Veldkamp, 2018 , received the Southern Indiana Province Balfour Award, given annually to the region’s most outstanding Sig. Our new marketing committee has increased the chapter’s campus presence, and has augmented the display of the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s (HCI) efforts. We are also planning a number of summertime philanthropic ventures to contribute to HCI, including a car wash and a stand at an annual barbecue cook-off. For next year’s Derby Days, we will be unveiling a new music-festival theme.

Harvard Kappa Eta
Philanthropy has been running strong within our chapter. After reviving and expanding upon our community service outreach events, our chapter has had increasingly high levels of enthusiasm for service. One of our most meaningful philanthropic events was sending some of our members to an all-day Habitat for Humanity build on March 3, 2018. We completed an array of tasks, from tarping to demolition. Above all, however, we were all proud to serve a cause much bigger than ourselves and the entire experience was incredibly grounding and helped reorient our perspectives on life as college students.
~Jonathan Paek, 2020
Hillsdale Alpha Kappa
The 2017 to 2018 school year was a time of rebuilding for us. Our chapter has increased its size to 23 members, made improvements to the house, strengthened scholarship and increased our philanthropic efforts. The chapter set a goal to raise $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We revamped our Derby Days philanthropic event and had one of the most successful weeks in years, raising $3,000 from Oct. 13 to 17, 2017. In the spring, we held several smaller fundraising events with local businesses and animal shelters. We are committed to the continuous success of the chapter.
~Christopher Huffman, 2019
Hobart Alpha Alpha
This past semester, we initiated nine new members, seven of whom hold chapter positions. Sigma Chi remains the largest fraternity on campus and our chapter had the second-highest grade point average among Greek-letter organizations for fall 2017. The growing brotherhood has greatly expanded community engagement and philanthropic efforts on campus and our chapter planned to hold its first full-fledged Derby Days philanthropic event during the week of April 21, 2018. As emerging campus leaders, many members are also campaigning for the student trustee position and Tanner Arnold, 2020, was named an orientation coordinator for the colleges.
~Jonah Salita, 2019
Idaho Gamma Eta
Philanthropy has always been a large part of our chapter’s identity. Doing a Derby Days philanthropic event to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) is something that our chapter takes pride in, and something that we do to give back to the community. Raising money via donations from the University of Idaho’s Greek-letter system and from other contributors is one of the most important things that we do, and we do it with pride in order to contribute as much as we can in the fight against cancer. As of this writing, we had contributed more than $14,000 to HCI.
~Ryan Walters, 2019
Illinois Kappa Kappa
We have long been determined to contribute to the community and leave a mark on the world through philanthropic events, and are determined to explore innovative ideas to change how Greek-letter organizations engage in philanthropy. The values that Sigs hold are reflected every day through our members’ actions and generosity. Our chapter’s Derby Days philanthropic event week is filled with competitions, service and celebrations, and our Spring Classic philanthropic hockey game brings together three other fraternities and boasts a
large crowd. Our philanthropy is focused on helping others and raising funds for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Kevin Steiner, 2020
Illinois Wesleyan Alpha Iota
We had an uphill battle this past semester to try and clean out our chapter of all of the negative impacts on it and the standards that we live up to. We are proud to say that we are working hard toward many progressive goals that will bring about a new and improved perspective of how our chapter will live. We have drastically improved in overall class GPA, attitude and environment around the chapter, and participation within the Fraternity. We look forward to continuing philanthropic events and working hard to improve our ways.
~Konrad Wasilewski, 2020
Indiana (Pennsylvania) Eta Omicron
In addition to its own philanthropic efforts, our chapter teams up and participates in sorority fundraisers. During the spring 2018 semester, we planned to play in a dodgeball tournament to raise money for Delta Zeta Sorority. On Feb. 18, we also participated in Delta Gamma women’s fraternity’s Anchor Splash swim-off against other fraternities to raise money for the organization Service for Sight, which helps military veterans who have experienced vision impairment, eye trauma or vision loss. Overall, our chapter has been very active in Greekletter philanthropic events this semester, and there was still so much more to come.
~Johnathon Brink, 2020
Iowa Alpha Eta
Our chapter was keeping morale high following a membership review. In the wake of the passing of Kamil Jackowski, 2019, we were working hard to rebuild and restore our chapter’s presence on campus. We have conducted many projects to better the interior of the chapter house. We planned a second event this year, along with our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 15 to 21, 2018. Those events were a 7-on-7 flag football tournament in honor of Jackowski. The proceeds will go toward a scholarship for a football player at his alma mater, John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
~Joseph Van Nieuwenhuyse, 2019
Johns Hopkins Kappa Upsilon
Our chapter has been hard at work. In the beginning of the semester, we were focused on finishing recruitment. As of this writing, we were preparing to initiate 13 new members. Furthermore, we were simultaneously preparing for our two major philanthropic events this semester. First, we had the annual Relay for Life on April 13, 2018, which the members of our chapter have not only participated
in, but also played a pivotal role in organizing every year. After this, our attention was focused on our Derby Days philanthropic event.
~Marcos Bottenbley, 2018
Kansas Alpha Xi
We recently had the pleasure of hosting the Fraternity’s 70th Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985 , who was able to visit our chapter and meet our members. Geddings attended our chapter meeting and our scholarship dinner on Feb. 27, 2018. Scholarship chairman Andrew Tyler, 2019, organized our scholarship dinner with the help of Jim Hanna, 1992 , who is a certified financial planner and served as our guest speaker for the dinner. Tyler is aiming to have a larger alumni participation at our dinner and to renovate our study rooms in the future.
~Ryan Carter, 2018
Kent State Zeta Lambda
Our chapter has had a strong semester as it prepared for another Derby Days philanthropic event. Last year, we raised more than $20,000 to join the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s $20K Club, a milestone we looked to repeat this year from April 23 to 27. This achievement has inspired us all to work harder, to truly embrace what it means to come together as a community and to play a small part as the generation to end cancer. The legacy of Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, lives on through us all.
~Zachary Adair, 2020
Kentucky Lambda Lambda
We are inspired philanthropically by many alumni, undergraduates and other incredible role models. This year, Luke Fenwick, 2019, has raised enthusiasm for our philanthropy. Fenwick has pioneered a suicide awareness 5K run event in Lexington, Kentucky, that was to be held on March 24, 2018, and raised money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He has been personally affected by the tragedy of suicide and has inspired our chapter to donate and volunteer for the cause, as well as pray for the individuals and families of those struggling with any form of mental illness or suicidal thoughts.
~Andrew Flood, 2019
For winter 2018, our chapter welcomed three new members, and hosted a Ritual Peer through the ceremonies of initiation and first Ritual chapter meeting. Always striving for growth, we also conducted a successful recruitment in the winter semester. On the community service front, we volunteered on March 10 at the annual Shillelagh Four Mile Run and Walk in Flushing, Michigan,
to give back to the chapter’s home community. Having reached entrance into the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s $20K Club in the 2017 to 2018 academic year, we were already preparing in July for another Derby Days philanthropic event in hopes of eclipsing last year’s efforts.
~Sarth Patel, 2020
Going into our spring 2018 semester, we were excited to work toward our goals that we set for ourselves. While maintaining one of Kettering’s highest GPAs as a Greek-letter organization remains one of our top priorities, we were also looking to greatly change our spring-term philanthropy to reach our goal of $20,000, which is the highest goal our chapter has had. These changes include improvements to our Derby Days philanthropic event being held April 16 to 24, such as including more Greek-letter organizations at Kettering, and the addition of multiple new events to help us reach our philanthropic goal.
~Lukas Swartzmiller, 2021
Knox Lambda Alpha
We are proud to have initiated our Lambda pledge class last winter term and look forward to the positive and wonderful contributions they will make to our chapter, the International Fraternity and the Greek-letter community. We are also overjoyed to announce that Ben Rutter, 2020, was accepted to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit and will be the first person from our chapter to attend the leadership program. Lastly, at philanthropic events, we were able to raise $180 for Planned Parenthood and look forward to doing more philanthropy for them in the future.
~Jack Harman, 2018
Louisville Iota Lambda
We began 2018 by initiating our Beta Xi pledge class and looked forward to all we will accomplish in the chapter. We also participated in the RaiseRed Dance Marathon on Feb. 23 and 24 benefiting the University of Louisville’s pediatric hematology and oncology clinic. As a chapter, we raised more than $60,000. Including all members on the leadership team, we raised more than $75,000. We look forward to continue our success through fall recruitment. If you know of any quality young men attending the university in the fall, please email our recruitment chairman Nick Stegman, 2019, at nicholas.stegman@louisville.edu.
~Nicholas Yates, 2019
Loyola (Chicago) Lambda Nu
The men of our chapter have consistently held philanthropy as the most important aspect of our chapter. Since September of 2017, our chapter’s Derby Days philanthropic event efforts paired with the help of our university friends and family have raised nearly $40,000 that we donated to the Huntsman Cancer Institute for cancer research. We are most inspired by our members who have had a personal connection with cancer. Their testimonies about how cancer affects their lives and their loved ones inspire us. Dedicating our efforts to such a noble cause makes the hard work well worth it.
~Joseph Cuellar, 2020
Loyola Marymount Iota Omega
We are happy to report a successful spring 2018 semester. We started the year with our Sigma Stand Up to Cancer event on Jan. 18, a night of stand-up comedy organized by Marc Brockwell, 2020, with all proceeds going to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We initiated our newest pledge class, and spent several weeks planning our Derby Days philanthropic event the week of April 2. We’ve also met and befriended the chapters in our new province, the Southern California province, at our yearly province conference, even meeting International Sweetheart Allisen Hagemeyer and 70th Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985
~William Sitzman, 2019
Maine Rho Rho
We are happy to announce that over the last semester our chapter organized several philanthropic events, including the weeklong “Breakfast Burritos and Coffee” event held the week of April 9, 2018, to benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We congratulate Cody Alexander, 2018 , for his hard work toward graduating this semester. We also congratulate our new members for completing the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program. Finally, we extend our sincerest gratitude to the Boston Harbor province undergraduates and alumni for hosting the North Atlantic province during the 2018 Boston Harbor and North Atlantic combined province conference the weekend of Feb. 10.
~Hunter Dunn Ferri, 2020
On Dec. 6, 2017, our chapter organized a “polar plunge,” during which we raised $1,300 to finance this semester’s Derby Days philanthropic event that was to be held from April 9 to 13. All of the profits from Derby Days were to ultimately go to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The principle of a polar plunge is the following: Anyone can nominate
a member to go take a bath in the chilly waters of Lake Michigan by sending us any amount of money. The nominated member has to choose between paying double the initial sum or going into the freezing water. This presents a difficult choice, but our members have boldly accepted the challenge.
~Vlad Petrea, 2020
Maryland Gamma Chi
Our chapter was looking forward to the initiation of 20 new members on March 31, 2018. We were also excited to kick off our Derby Days philanthropic event week with a Volley for the Kids event on April 8. We are truly blessed to be able to contribute to such a great cause. In the fall of 2017, we set a new record by raising nearly $45,000 and we are looking to break that in 2018. We are thankful for the continued support of our alumni as we strive to help the Children’s Miracle Network to the best of our ability.
~Griffin Cicci, 2019
Massachusetts-Amherst Mu Epsilon
Since our chapter installation back in December 2017, our members have continued to exemplify our values through campus involvement in university clubs, community service and philanthropy. At the time of this writing, we were raising money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute through various events while raising awareness of the institute’s mission. Our chapter has also spent this past quarter recruiting the first official class of our chapter. We planned on preparing our new members to eventually carry the torch through participation on campus, friendship and learning.
~Nihal Gowda, 2020
McGill Gamma Lambda
This past semester, our chapter was proud to bring in seven dedicated pledges who we initiated on March 31, followed by a reception and networking event with alumni. Our philanthropy chairman, Nico LeBlanc, 2021 , has taken the initiative to start a partnership between our chapter and McGill Walksafe, whereby members volunteer several times per semester to assist in walking people home if they feel unsafe. Additionally, we had the opportunity to meet Sigs from all over the region through our annual province conference on Feb. 10. One-third of our chapter attended and gained valuable insight from the discussions they had.
~Sacha Gilles, 2018
Memphis Epsilon Kappa
As of this writing, our chapter was having a great spring 2018 semester, with our members rallying together as leaders on our campus despite recent policy changes within our Greek-letter community. On Feb. 25, we co-hosted our first-ever riskmanagement seminar with the Pi Beta Phi women’s fraternity. The event was open to the public and was designed to improve people’s ability to deal with difficult situations a college student might encounter. The men in our chapter have displayed tremendous leadership and responsibility in a time when men in Greek-letter organizations can be stereotyped in a negative way.
~Jack Callahan, 2020
Miami (Florida) Gamma Phi
Our chapter has had an amazing spring semester this year. We had 25 potential new members from our spring recruitment. At the time of this writing, our Derby Days philanthropic event was approaching at the end of March and the beginning of April. We won multiple sorority philanthropies this semester and aim to continue that trend. We finished the fall semester with a 3.278 GPA as well. We were looking forward to competing in softball and football intramural sports competitions to end the semester. Eight of our members also secured internships or jobs for this summer.
~Austin Assentato, 2019
Michigan Theta Theta
Our chapter had another outstanding fall semester 2017, carrying a chapter GPA of 3.432. This ranks the chapter among the best in all of Michigan Greek-letter life. Additionally, four of our members achieved perfect 4.0 GPAs. Our newest pledge class, Sigma, was initiated into the Fraternity. Many of us were involved in philanthropic events, most notably Winterfest from Jan. 22 to 23, 2018, which is an annual broomball tournament to benefit the Autism Alliance of Michigan. Four of our members spent the winter semester studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Best of luck to all of the graduating seniors.
~Alex Krueger, 2020
Minnesota Alpha Sigma
Philanthropy is an important aspect of our chapter, and our favorite philanthropic event is our Derby Days week, which, like all of our events, benefits the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This year, it was to take place from April 2 to 6, 2018, and we had a lot of great events planned as well as a capstone alumni event to close out the week. We also held a couple of smaller philanthropic events, including a gingerbread house making contest and a dunk tank and doughnuts event. We were very excited about our 2018 Derby Days.
~Aaron Tsuchiya, 2019
With 10 initiates in fall 2017 and five new pledges in the spring, we are continuing to grow during this tough time for Greek-letter life. We sent one member to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Workshop last summer, and looked forward to sending another member this summer. Seeing the Huntsman Cancer Institute and sharing that experience reminded us why we give back. We had a successful Derby Days philanthropic event from Oct. 9 to 14, 2017, and looked forward to spring philanthropic events such as partnering with restaurants to host fundraisers, bagging groceries for tips and a flapjack feast on April 8.
~Kevin Hines, 2020
Last fall semester, 56 of our 250 members earned a spot on the Chancellor’s Honor Roll. This spring we were revamping our Derby Days philanthropic event in hopes of making a difference in the Oxford, Mississippi, community and in the state of Mississippi. We planned to support Mississippi Blood Services with a blood drive from April 2 to 5, 2018, and the Oxford Food Pantry with a canned food drive from April 2 to 6. We also planned an event on April 6 to support the university’s William Magee Center for Wellness Education in addressing drug and alcohol misuse on our campus.
~Jack Chambers, 2019
Our chapter is excited to be celebrating 80 years since being activated. During the weekend of March 23 and 24, 2018, the chapter and alumni were glad to celebrate the 80th anniversary with a packed weekend full of events. We want to thank all alumni who took time out of their schedules to come celebrate during the weekend. The chapter was also looking forward to hosting our 61st-annual Derby Days philanthropic event from April 10 to 14. We hoped to raise more than $100,000 to be donated to the Catch-A-Dream Foundation and Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Layton Little, 2019
Our chapter is motivated to assist with the fight against cancer, not only because it is the right thing to do and is our philanthropic cause, but because for some people within our chapter it is personal. I have a family friend who is fighting cancer, and although she is a small individual, she has some of the most grit and fight I have ever seen. She personally inspires me and others to keep the fight against cancer going, and to make sure other people do not have to be in a similar situation.
~Nicholas Quintana, 2020
Missouri State Eta Kappa
Things for our chapter are looking better than ever. Our brotherhood has grown and together we are accomplishing more than we ever have. Through deep and meaningful conversations with one another, we have found out what the true meaning of the White Cross is and look to live its values day by day. For the upcoming year, we expected to make big plans for our community service and philanthropic efforts. We have big goals and we look forward to working together as one to conquer the goals we have. In the upcoming year, we want to make the most of our motivated membership.
~Dalton Rowe, 2020
Missouri-Columbia Xi Xi
The men of our chapter continue to pursue a high academic standard. Our chapter began spring with our fourth-annual Slap Shot on Cancer hockey philanthropic event from March 9 to 10, 2018, during which we held on for a 4–3 victory over Beta Theta Pi Fraternity while raising money and awareness for research at the university’s Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. We were eagerly looking forward to Greek Week, when we would be competing alongside the Delta Delta Delta women’s fraternity. We planned to wrap up the spring term with a Derby Days philanthropic event at the end of April.
~Michael Peterson, 2020
Montana State
During this past semester, our chapter experienced upward movement in all areas of operation. As of this writing, we were in our 100th year as a recognized chapter of the Fraternity. In the fall 2017 semester, we had the opportunity to celebrate our centennial with 70th Grand Consul Tommy Geddings, SOUTH CAROLINA 1985 , and Grand Pro Consul Steve Schuyler, ARIZONA 1979, who visited to celebrate with us. Our chapter has raised its GPA to a 2.9, which is third among campus fraternities, and we have the second-most members of any chapter on campus. Thank you to our alumni who have made this year great.
~Jacob Linnell, 2018
This past spring, our chapter made progress with the declaration of our primary mortgage on our chapter house being paid off thanks to gracious donations from our chapter’s alumni, and a donation of $3,000 to the Kyle Rogers Scholarship at Murray State University. On Feb. 16 and 17, we hosted our fourth annual basketball Homecoming, which included a brunch, a “Sigma Chi Proud” ceremony, dinner at the Big Apple Café in Murray, Kentucky, and the basketball game against Tennessee Tech. Our chapter continues to develop within and look to promote efficiency and well-being among our members and on campus.
~Blake White, 2019
Nebraska Alpha Epsilon
Last fall semester, our chapter initiated its largest pledge class in recent memory with 33 men. After winning a Peterson Significant Chapter Blue Award at last year’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, we have been making strides to continue our three-year streak. From members being elected to leadership roles on campus to raising nearly $9,000 in the fall semester alone for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, we have put in a lot of work to make positive strides — including gaining enough points to win the university’s annual Homecoming pride competition this year.
~Gabe Eubanks, 2021
New Hampshire Lambda Sigma
Our chapter has been showing great promise. We have raised our chapter GPA more than one-tenth of a point and our numbers remain consistently strong. The $10,000 fundraising goal for our Derby Days philanthropic event, which we planned to hold from April 9 to 13, 2018, was higher than ever. Our brotherhood remains strong and there are a great deal of leaders in our chapter. We were also looking forward to holding an alumni lobster bake in May. Overall, our chapter continues its upward trend and we remain hopeful that we will soon have a chapter house.
~Samuel Howard, 2019
New Haven Lambda Epsilon
Our chapter hosted a joint province conference including the Western Massachusetts and Connecticut/Rhode Island provinces from Jan. 26 to 27, 2018. We also hosted a Ritual Renaissance class the same weekend, which helped the Fraternity gain more Ritual Peers from these two provinces. The whole weekend ran flawlessly thanks to every member who came and helped organize. Our chapter hosted the Crossroads drug and alcohol education program on Feb. 3 and everybody learned something. Even the members who had been through the program before said it was great to have a refresher on the subject.
~Eric Vandlik, 2019
New Mexico Beta Xi
The past year has been successful for our chapter. The chapter earned the Interfraternity Council Cup — winning Greek Week competition for a school-record seventh year in a row — and was designated a Four Star Chapter of Achievement by the university. Pano Argyres, 2019, and Darius Jean-Bart, 2019, were elected president and vice president, respectively, of the Interfraternity Council. At our chapter’s Derby Days philanthropic event from Oct. 5 to 7, 2017, we raised more than $6,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Jared Gonzales, 2018 , took office as Consul this spring and Andrew Pierce, 2019, was elected Pro Consul.
~William Lauver, 2018
New Mexico State Zeta Phi
This past semester we were aiming for a chapter record donation to the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). Each spring, the chapter hosts its Sig Glow philanthropic concert and a traditional Derby Days philanthropic event. With the chapter goal being $7,000 raised this year, we were proudly able to raise $2,400 for HCI on Feb. 16, 2018, making it the most successful Sig Glow yet. Taking motivation from the passing of Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, we planned to continue working hard to put on Derby Days in April.
~Mason Watkins-Quiñones, 2018
North Carolina State Delta Epsilon
Our chapter has made its return to the university’s Greek-letter community. During the fall 2017 semester, we had the honor of initiating 24 men into our chapter, and after 100 percent bid acceptance this spring, we were preparing 12 more future leaders for brotherhood. At the time of this writing, we were gearing up for our 43rd Derby Days philanthropic event in April, with proceeds benefiting the Frankie Lemmon School and Developmental Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. We are proud of having overcome the obstacles that we have, and the chapter was in a great place to celebrate its upcoming 75th anniversary.
~Harrison Walker, 2019
North Dakota Beta Zeta
Our most meaningful philanthropic event of the year is Derby Days. The chapter’s annual Derby Days was held Oct. 3 to 5, 2017, leading up to the university’s fall Homecoming. Throughout the week, the chapter hosts several events, such as a flag football tournament, the Derby Chase and a barbecue. To wrap up the week, the chapter held its Bungaloo Ball on Oct. 6, where the next sweetheart, Kara Kohns, was announced. The chapter’s motivation for hosting these events every year comes from our members’ desire to donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and to be the generation to end cancer.
~Jeffrey Elliot, 2018
North Dakota State Gamma Tau
We are inspired to give back to charity because of our loved ones who have been affected by cancer. A member who graduated recently had been diagnosed with cancer as an undergraduate and had to take time off to go through chemotherapy and helped the chapter realize what kind of battle one must go through to beat the disease. Our most meaningful event has been the crepe feed that we run during every Derby Days philanthropic event, which brings in members from the local community and campus. All of our proceeds get donated to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Logan Clark, 2018

Penn State Pro Consul Adam Holz, 2018, at center, stands with 2018 Consul Brendan Granahan, 2020, and 2017 Consul Jackson Fitzgerald, 2018, at the university’s Greek Column Awards on Feb. 12, 2018, at the Nittany Lion Inn in State College, Pennsylvania. Holz was one of five students who received a Living the Ritual award as part of the university’s Standards of Excellence program for Greek-letter organizations.
Our chapter had just finished its Derby Days philanthropic event week from March 7 to 9, 2018, during which we raised more than $4,300 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Many of the men in our chapter are motivated by Derby Days and giving back due to the number of members who have been personally touched by cancer in their lives. Through our “Derby Darling” Instagram challenge, sororities helped spread the word about Sigma Chi, the Huntsman Cancer Institute and cancer research throughout social media by sharing and liking photos of members of each sorority on our campus.
~Sam Berlin, 2017
The late Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, is who inspires our chapter to give back to the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). Seeing the dedication he put into the Fraternity and the institute gives us a reason to donate all that we can to cancer research. Our chapter believes that we are the generation to end cancer and Huntsman is an individual who gave us that opportunity. Huntsman battling cancer himself shows why Sigma Chi chapters across North America should donate as much as they can to HCI’s cancer research efforts.
~Nikolas Stamper, 2020
Northwestern Omega
This past March, our chapter welcomed 21 new members into the Fraternity. These men come from various parts of the country and the world. Our chapter partnered with the Alpha Phi women’s fraternity to raise nearly $50,000 and dance for 30 straight hours from March 9 to 11 as part of the university’s Dance Marathon at the Norris University Center in Evanston, Illinois. From Feb. 23 to 25, our chapter hosted its annual father’s weekend, during which we went with our fathers to the Second City comedy club in Chicago and spent time together at our chapter house in Evanston.
~Julian Wallentin, 2020
Ohio Delta Pi
Our chapter never needs a reason why when it comes to philanthropy and giving back to the community. However, we continue to be inspired daily by the courage shown to us by the mother of Connor Childs, 2019. Thankfully, after a long battle with cancer, Maria Childs has been in remission for the past two years, despite her doctors’ original predictions. Thankful is an understatement, and the men of our chapter are truly blessed to have such a strong woman to inspire us to continue the fight against cancer, most notably through raising money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~William Hippler, 2020
We participated in the university’s BuckeyeThon dance marathon at the Ohio Union on campus from Feb. 9 to 10, 2018, where we assisted in raising more than $1.6 million for Nationwide Children’s Hospital to fight pediatric cancer. We were honored to hear the life story of Kevin Laue, the Manhattan College center from 2009 to 2012 who was the first collegiate basketball player with one arm. On April 14, we were starting our annual Derby Days philanthropic event, with a goal of raising $65,000. We were also excited to be initiating the 41 men of our spring 2018 pledge class on March 31.
~Thomas Weickert, 2020
Oklahoma Beta Kappa
Our chapter was planning to host a Derby Days philanthropic event from April 2 to 4, 2018. This was to be followed by a Derby Days brunch on the morning of April 8, for which we encouraged all alumni to come back for a visit. If you would like more information about our Derby Days objectives or events, please email Stephen Cromwell, 2020, at stephen@cromwells.net. Alumni events will be coming very soon in the future, now that we have our budget settled. Please reach out to Cromwell to ensure that you are on our contact list.
~Cromwell
Oklahoma State Gamma Delta
During the previous year, our chapter has had a special focus on its philanthropic efforts. In response to the June 2, 2017, death of Brandon Cavazos, 2018 , our chapter came together and held a philanthropic event later that year called Buckets for Brandon from Nov. 10 to 11 at the Colvin Annex on campus. The event was a three-on-three basketball tournament open to all students on campus and was a great success. The money donated was sent to the Huntsman Cancer Institute, along with a few other on-campus organizations. This philanthropy will remain very important to us because of its special meaning to all of our undergraduate members.
~Ryan Roy, 2021
Ottawa Lambda Theta
Our chapter has had a successful school year with the initiation of 15 new members with the potential for greatness. We are looking forward to our newest classes taking the reins of our chapter in the upcoming years and leading it toward bigger and better philanthropic, community service, social and brotherhood events. We are going to do this by continuing to recruit and then initiate the best of the best, and with the newly elected officers we are sure to make this year one of our best yet.

This year, our chapter has made significant philanthropic contributions. Our Derby Days philanthropic event was a great success, as we raised $16,657.05 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. During the fall 2017 semester, we partnered with a new women’s fraternity, Alpha Phi, for THON, Penn State’s annual 48-hour dance marathon raising money and awareness for pediatric cancer. Our team’s combined fundraising efforts resulted in us ranking fifth out of all Greek-letter organizations and contributed to the final total of $10,151,663.93. Inspiration runs deep in our chapter because of our close relationships with our THON families and their children Alex, Mason and Maura.
~Brendan Granahan, 2020
We welcomed our newest pledge class in November 2017. Also in November, we raised more than $32,000 for City of Hope Cancer Center. On March 10, 2018, we held our province leadership workshop, where we discussed the new four-week Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program and hosted speakers from the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We were also planning a brotherhood event in Big Bear Lake, California, for March 17 and 18. Lastly, we enjoyed taking part in auctions, buying T-shirts and playing in a soccer tournament against other fraternities during the Alpha Phi women’s fraternity’s philanthropic event in support of women’s heart health from March 5 to 9.
~Mikiah Azarcon, 2020
We have experienced great internal growth this past spring semester. We raised our chapter GPA to nearly a 3.0 for the first time since any of our members have been a part of the chapter. We hope to surpass the 3.0 mark once this semester wraps up. Also, we were focusing on philanthropy with a Derby Days philanthropic event planned for April 23 to 27, partnering with the Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority from April 2 to 5 to raise awareness for the Robbie Page Memorial Fund and continuing to lend a hand serving food at the Lord’s Diner kitchen in Pittsburg, Kansas.
~Kyle Sherrill, 2018
This past spring we held elections for a new group of officers who have already come up with a number of novel ideas for our chapter to keep members involved. These officers have planned a new set of appealing philanthropic events and brotherhood activities and have been transitioning well to their new positions. We planned to hold the traditional White Rose Ceremony on March 30 at Princeton Cemetery. The White Rose is an important coat-andtie ceremony we hold every year to celebrate the life of former U.S. president and honorary Sig Grover Cleveland, MICHIGAN 1893
~Rui De Oliveira, 2020
Our chapter has been active this semester in recruitment, as well as helping our new pledges make their way through the Preparation for Brotherhood program. We planned to initiate our group of 15 pledges on March 25, 2018. We were excited to welcome this new class of men into the house. The chapter has recently created an equity, inclusion and justice chair position and committee to improve the chapter’s involvement with the surrounding community in order to help our members become more well-rounded young men.

Throughout the fall 2017 semester we continued to support and strengthen our relationship with Lafayette Urban Ministries (LUM), a community support organization in Lafayette, Indiana. For Halloween, we invited LUM’s childcare service to trick-or-treat from door to door through our chapter house. Seeing the children’s faces light up is always rewarding. On Dec. 9, our annual Jubilee Christmas Celebration hosted 18 parents of families to pick out and wrap gifts for their kids who would otherwise not have received Christmas gifts. Helping local children experience some of our favorite childhood memories is one of our favorite ways to give back.

Our executive board has set many specific goals to advance the interests of the chapter. Its members have been striving to become the premier leadership organization on campus through facilitating the values of Sigma Chi. We have also been moving to advance relationships with nonGreek-letter organizations such as sports teams, student government and various special interest clubs. The outreach program has encouraged members to engage further with university staff as well. We hoped to raise $20,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute through our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 16 to 20, 2018.
~Jonathan Meacham, 2020
Radford Kappa Zeta
We are excited about summer 2018. By then, we will have initiated our most recent pledge class into the Fraternity, and we are excited to see what they bring to the table for fall 2018 semester. Our main goal this summer is to find ways to improve our Derby Days philanthropic event. We believe we have underachieved the past few years, and are focusing on turning that around. We are also excited about the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, held from Aug. 2 to 4 at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.
~Chase Thomas, 2019
Rensselaer Delta Psi
Our chapter was enjoying another successful semester this past spring with the continuation of its strong recruitment during the previous fall semester. We are proud to have gained 12 new pledges. With a focus on strong community relationships, our chapter held its Pinewoods Scholarship Dinner on Feb. 28, in which members invite faculty and professors to come over for dinner. Finally, with our Derby Days philanthropic event coming up from April 23 to 28, our chapter was aiming to raise more than $20,000 in hopes of being able to help the fight to end cancer.
~Joshua Yurkofsky, 2019
Rhode Island Delta Sigma
Our chapter welcomed 27 new members this past fall. All of our new members have come in enthusiastic about taking leadership roles in the chapter and improving involvement with other chapters on campus. As of this writing, our chapter had already started planning the philanthropic events we hope to host annually in the future, including a 5K run to end cancer with all the proceeds going to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The chapter was also able to assist the Fraternity chapter at Brown University with its initiation on Nov. 18, 2017.
~Brendan Farragher, 2020
Richmond Epsilon Rho
This past semester, our chapter welcomed a pledge class of 13 members. Following initiation this spring, our newest pledge class, accompanied by a group of seniors as well as alumni, visited Arlington National Cemetery, located across the Potomac River just outside of Washington, D.C., to pay tribute to Founder Benjamin Piatt Runkle, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, whose gravesite is found within the cemetery. We looked forward to increasing our contribution to the Huntsman Cancer Institute through our annual Derby Days philanthropic event occurring from March 19 to 29.
~Keenan Shepard, 2019

As of this writing, our chapter was making great improvements to plans for its Derby Days philanthropic event, which we hoped to have in the spring. We were working with other organizations on campus in order to get as much participation as possible, and intended to host our inaugural Derby Days formal. Our alumni weekend was scheduled for April 13 to 15, 2018, and we encouraged alumni to stop by for a get-together at the chapter house on April 14. We planned to initiate our pledge class before then and were excited to add new members to the chapter.
~William Grossmann, 2019

We were pleased to have our spring pledge season come to fruition. The annual golf tournament, which was to be held April 21, 2018, at Raven Nest Golf Course in Huntsville, Texas, was anticipated to be a success and we look forward to hosting it again next year. The chapter looks forward to fall recruitment and the many opportunities that fall semester brings for our members to grow and serve others in our community. We also look forward to seeing many of our alumni for our upcoming Homecoming, and will unveil further information on Twitter search @sigsatsam and in future Magazine issues for details.
~Ethan Dyer, 2019
Samford Pi
Our chapter has historically been very involved in philanthropy. This past year during our Derby Days philanthropic event, we hosted several events exclusively benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute because we feel very strongly toward this cause. Cancer has affected the lives of almost everyone and we feel that we are making a difference in people’s lives by contributing to such a cause. This year from March 24 to 28, we have planned to make Derby Days a campus-wide event in order to raise as much support as possible. We cannot wait for the opportunity to raise money for something bigger than ourselves.
~Jeffery Dortch, 2020
San Jose State Epsilon Theta
Over the past spring semester of 2018, our chapter has thrived despite recent restrictions placed on our university’s Interfraternity Council. With most of the fraternities in IFC on probation, the spotlight on Sigma Chi has never been greater. Utilizing our limelight, we have been able to flourish in all areas of focus, especially philanthropically. Our 2015 Derby Darling, Brooke Yarrington, has strengthened our love and drive to further our philanthropic work with the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Children’s Miracle Network by organizing a toy drive/tour with UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland, California.
~Khoa Nguyen, 2019
Santa Clara Lambda Gamma
Our chapter is looking to continue its philanthropic relationship with the John Lester Foundation to assist children with reconstructive surgeries. A recent alumnus of our chapter, Connor Lester, 2015 , has worked to carry forth the mission his father established by raising nearly $500,000 for the cause. Because of our belief in the great aims of Lester’s work and in support of our fellow Sig, we planned on donating all of our proceeds from our Derby Days philanthropic event, which was to be held from April 16 to 20, 2018, to the John Lester Foundation.
~Tripp Bastian, 2020
South Alabama Eta Epsilon
We were having an eventful spring 2018 semester with our Derby Days philanthropic event; trying for the Dean’s Cup, the highest honor given to Greekletter organizations on campus; and initiation. We prepared for Derby Days, which was to be held from April 1 to 13, with roadblocks every Saturday where every member helped raise money. We also looked forward to a competitive run at the Dean’s Cup, hoping our intramural victories, campus involvement and philanthropy would help us to pull out a victory. We were also excited to initiate eight new members on March 16 and 17 so they could participate in the brotherhood events that we had planned.
~Britton Roland, 2019

Our chapter had a successful spring 2018 recruitment, admitting 12 new members, which we believe is a direct result of having earned a 3.32 chapter GPA, which was fourth among Interfraternity Council organizations, and being leaders on campus. Members have continued to get more involved on campus through student body senate, Interfraternity Council and the university alumni association’s University of South Florida Ambassadors program. The chapter has been involved in several philanthropic events, such as Kappa Delta Sorority’s Shamrock paintball tournament on Feb. 18 supporting Prevent Child Abuse America and Alpha Delta Pi Sorority’s Cheer Toss and Tumble benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities on March 4, earning first place in both.
~Jozua Martins, 2020
Southeast Missouri Epsilon Phi
We began 2018 by welcoming 33 newly initiated members. Our overall grade point average for the fall semester was a 3.02 with 25 percent of the chapter having a 3.5 or better. As of this writing, we had accumulated $6,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute this school year. Morale was high, as all 94 of our members are appreciative of the new chapter house. In addition, our chapter played a significant role in the reinstallation of the chapter at Saint Louis University on Nov. 17, 2017. Our focus was to win the university’s Greek Week philanthropic competition held from April 1 to 9.

Southern Illinois Lambda Omicron
The spring 2018 semester was off to a great start for our chapter. We held another successful Derby Days philanthropic event at the end of February, during which we raised funds to donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. During the semester, our members were busy volunteering all over the campus and town. We initiated our new pledge class early in the semester. As time goes on, we continue to look to increase our chapter size so we can increase our prominence on campus and eventually purchase a house. We are excited to see what the future holds for us.
~Jake Malay, 2021
Southern Methodist Delta Mu
Our chapter was having another great spring semester. With the initiation of our new pledge class on March 24, 2018, the chapter has 130 undergraduates striving to continue success in the classroom, during social events and with this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event campaign from March 19 to 23. We have once again solidified our strong bonds with alumni through our annual Father’s Weekend golf outing, scheduled for April 14, and our alumni big brother program. Lastly, we would like to thank all of this year’s departing seniors for their hard work and dedication to this chapter and the Fraternity.
~Evan Webb, 2019
Spring Hill Theta Mu
We donated $4,000 to the Huntsman Cancer Institute as a result of our Derby Days philanthropic event efforts, held from Oct. 6 to 9, 2017. The following spring we experienced yet another successful recruitment process, providing 13 men a chance to benefit from the lofty ideals held by our Fraternity. Our chapter is excited to watch their development into men of Sigma Chi. In the remaining months of the spring semester, our chapter was preparing to overcome the challenges we had not yet encountered, and to meet the organizational goals we had set for the upcoming year.
~Jimmy Ackels, 2019
St. Thomas Iota Tau
Our chapter has given out three bids over the last school year to men who will bring honor to our Fraternity. With approximately half of our chapter members graduating in the spring, we have been making valiant recruitment efforts to keep the chapter strong. We planned to have attorney and former Consul David Hackworthy, 2012 , come to help us with this initiative through the Mission 365 recruitment training program. Furthermore, we have developed committees for key officer roles, such as Quaestor and recruitment chairman, to make next semester’s transition as smooth as possible.
~Maximilian Jude, 2019
Stephen F. Austin Eta Tau
As of this writing, we were very excited for the remaining portion of the spring 2018 semester thanks to our successful fall recruitment, during which we initiated 16 new members. We also added six new members for this spring semester. Our spring initiation was planned to take place on April 7. We were very proud to have a Fight Night philanthropic event returning to our chapter for the first time in a very long time, taking place in Nacogdoches, Texas, on April 27. Of course, we planned to donate the profits from Fight Night to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Nicolas Irene, 2018
Syracuse Psi Psi
Whether through philanthropic events or participation in intramural sports leagues, our chapter has made its presence known on campus. Through our recruitment, we have added individuals who we believe will carry on the Fraternity's legacy and uphold its values. The coming of our Derby Days philanthropic event, which was to be held from April 16 to 20, 2018, continued to be a point of pride and excitement for our brotherhood. With a goal of raising $30,000, we’re optimistic for the philanthropic week. Our members and alumni also look forward to our annual clambake in order to bring together multiple generations of Sigs.
~Brandon Das, 2018
Tampa Kappa Omega
Our chapter has focused its philanthropic efforts on raising money for suicide prevention and awareness due to our loss of Jamal Nganga, 2019, in the fall semester. As a chapter, we decided to shine a light on suicide by raising money. We have raised more than $3,200 as of this writing. The event we were planning to host was a basketball tournament on campus for our fellow Sig on his birthday, April 26, since basketball was his favorite sport. We hoped that during the event we would bring in our goal of $7,500.
~Jordan Edwards, 2018
Tarleton State Kappa Xi
Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, is the inspiration behind our push for donations to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. More than two-thirds of our members have been affected directly by cancer and for this reason we all strive to donate as much as we can. Although we are not a large chapter, we know that every penny toward research counts because we have seen it change our lives. Every year, Derby Days is our most meaningful philanthropic event. Derby Days brings our members, families and school closer together for this cause.
~Cody Faulkner, 2020
Tennessee Tech Eta Delta
The men of our chapter feel the need to raise awareness and money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We have all been affected by someone who has had cancer and want to help find a cure for this disease. Our goal was to raise at least $10,000 during the spring 2018 semester. Our most profitable event each year has been the Lift-A-Thon, a workout competition that was held during our Derby Days philanthropic event from March 19 to 21. This year, it really hit home with us as our own former chapter advisor, Derrick Edwards, 2008 , and his wife were diagnosed with cancer.
~Stefan Remus, 2018
Tennessee-Chattanooga Delta Theta
Our chapter donates all proceeds of our Derby Days philanthropic event to the Children’s Hospital at Erlanger in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We are driven to raise money for Erlanger because of the outstanding, courageous work they do for the city of Chattanooga. During the Derby Days that took place from April 2 to 7, 2016, our chapter raised more than $32,000 for the construction of the children’s hospital during a memorable week of field games, dance competitions and a jousting competition. The most meaningful moment was meeting a young man who would soon undergo treatments in the hospital.
~Samuel Wigger, 2018
This past fall, we raised $13,500 for our Derby Days philanthropic event, which was held from Sept. 11 to 15, initiated six new members and earned the best fraternity GPA on campus with a 3.11. In the spring we recruited six new members. At the university’s Greek awards banquet on April 22, we were honored to take home the 2018 Chancellor’s Cup, along with three Who’s Who awards, two Emerging Leader awards, two Community Service awards, a Community Service and Philanthropy award for most funds raised and hours spent, and an academic achievement award.
~Travis Crum, 2018
As of this writing, our chapter was off to a great start during the spring 2018 semester. Our spring pledge class had 24 members, making it one of our chapter’s largest spring classes in the last five years. We set a goal this year to join the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s $20K Club through our philanthropy and we plan on bringing back a Derby Days philanthropic event in the fall to help meet that goal. We were all looking forward to a great year.
~Grayson Humphrey, 2019
Texas A&M-Commerce Zeta Eta
In the fall 2017 semester, we initiated 16 members after a successful recruitment program. This spring semester, we pinned another five men through the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program. Our alumni are getting us a chapter house, and we had a groundbreaking event Oct. 14 during our Homecoming weekend with several faculty members, alumni and students there to support. The preparation of our spring Derby Days philanthropic event had begun and we were excited for our community to get involved. We also had some members attend the NCAA Division II football championship on Dec. 16, 2017, where our team came home with the title.
~Nathan Hogan, 2018
Texas A&M-Kingsville Zeta Pi
We have had the privilege of going through the Mission 365 recruitment training program and the Crossroads drug and alcohol education program this spring, and completed Ritual for Life postinitiation training, which is the second program our chapter has piloted. We took 15 undergraduate members to our tri-province workshop in College Station, Texas, from Feb. 16 to 17, 2018, and have been proud of our improvement in overall attendance at most events. As the spring ended, we prepared for spring initiation on April 7 and for our Derby Days philanthropic event from April 23 to 27.
~Marc Cruz, 2018
Texas Christian Epsilon Mu
This past spring our chapter enjoyed a weekend with our moms, followed by our annual Father’s Day weekend golf tournament on April 2. The members along with their dates then had our traditional outof-town formal floating the river in New Braunfels, Texas, from April 13 to 15. Our chapter looks forward to a great summer recruitment and to help with that will be our beautiful, new house that will open this fall, housing 25 members. An alumni barbecue will also be taking place this fall as a thank-you to all those who donated to our new house.
~Ezra Caballero, 2019
Texas State Theta Tau
Our most prominent philanthropic event has always been our spring Derby Days which, at the time of this writing, we anticipated holding from April 15 to 18, 2018. In the spring of 2017 we raised approximately $18,000 over the course of just one week, all donated to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. It has always been a fantastic way for us to make connections with the community while also managing to raise money for a great cause, so we were looking forward to putting together another great set of events this year to try and reach our goal of raising more than $20,000.
~Joshua Beardmore, 2020
Texas-Austin Alpha Nu
Our chapter was looking ahead to another exciting and fulfilling spring 2018 semester. We were greatly excited for the Audrey Freeman Golf Classic on April 8 for undergraduates and alumni, as well as our Derby Days philanthropic event the week of April 16, both benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Additionally, the chapter has continued its involvement with the B+ Foundation for childhood cancer research and will soon adopt another B+ childhood cancer hero to mentor. As the academic year comes to a close, the chapter looks to finish the year strong and begin an exciting recruitment process.
~Matthew Favre, 2020
Troy Eta Phi
Our chapter’s most meaningful philanthropic event was this past fall benefiting our local Head Start, a program helping underprivileged children in the Troy, Alabama, area. Our members have volunteered more than 300 hours with them. To go along with that, we donated $2,000 to the program and gave each child a brand-new coat and every teacher a gift. This is our most meaningful event because it allows us to interact with the children and teachers, and to see the difference we are making in our community.
~Chase Blake, 2019
Tulane Alpha Omicron
Our chapter had a fantastic spring 2018 semester, initiating 20 new members and engaging our campus with members in student government, orientation programs, Tulane Emergency Medical Services and the Interfraternity Council presidency. After raising more than $30,000 for the first time in our chapter’s history during last year’s Derby Days philanthropic event, we were able to inspire our campus, families, friends and alumni to raise more than $50,000 from March 11 to 17 for Derby Days 2018. I am proud of the chapter’s excitement and dedication to our initiative.
~Julien Bourgeois, 2019
Tulsa Delta Omega
Thinking about who inspires our chapter to work hard toward our philanthropic efforts, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, is the first man who comes to mind. Every member has been touched by his incredible efforts to fight cancer. Our chapter’s most meaningful event was our Shave for the Cure event on Oct. 14, 2017. Members were able to show their passion for the fight against cancer by shaving their heads in front of their friends and family while raising more than $6,000 in just 30 minutes to contribute to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Peter Reardon, 2020
Utah State Gamma Kappa
Our chapter was having another successful semester at the time of this writing. We recruited well for our spring 2018 class and were on pace to initiate nine new members into the Fraternity. We were excited to put on our Derby Days philanthropic event from March 26 to 30. Our chapter goal was to raise $25,000, so having a successful Derby Days was important to us. Our chapter also looked forward to its annual alumni banquet on April 14 at the Logan Country Club in Logan, Utah. The alumni banquet is a great opportunity for our undergraduate chapter members to meet and interact with our amazing alumni.
~Joshua Witzel, 2018
Valparaiso Iota Sigma
Our Derby Days philanthropic event in support of Huntsman Cancer Institute is the chapter’s most meaningful such event, and has been revolutionized this year. We held events for half a week in the fall, from Oct. 2 to 8, 2017, and another half-week in the spring, this year from April 17 to 20. This change allows the chapter to promote Derby Days while fundraising all year long. The chapter also planned to host its first-ever Derby Days concert on April 20. The chapter and our school’s student body were eager for this philanthropic opportunity, and could not wait to see country music artist Matt Chase come to campus.
~Ryan Manderfield, 2019
Villanova Kappa Chi
We were fortunate enough to participate in a White Rose Ceremony dedicated to Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, alongside the other chapters in the Mid-Atlantic province at the Pennsylvania undergraduate chapter house following the province conference on Feb. 24, 2018. His legacy as one of the greatest philanthropists of our Fraternity encourages us to always improve our charity, and in the fall, we added a new father-son golf philanthropic event that brought our families and alumni together for a noble cause. Although the weather did not cooperate for us, we hope to make it an annual event.
~Andrew Lynch, 2019
Virginia Psi
Thanks to our tireless former recruitment chairman and current Consul Sean Fitzgerald, 2019, we brought in a spring 2018 pledge class of 25 men, all of whom we hope will be valued members of the chapter for their remaining time at the university. With our Derby Days philanthropic event to be held from March 19 to 24, Derby Days chairmen Martin Knauf, 2019, and Jack Jeffrey, 2018 , along with the rest of the house, hoped to recreate the success of last spring’s event and raise $20,000 to $30,000 for the University of Virginia Children’s Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia.
~Marco O’Donnell, 2019
Virginia Commonwealth Mu Delta
We have focused on community service, our spring 2018 philanthropy and building a strong system for recruitment. Community service chairman Brandon Dupert, 2020, has organized local river cleanups and a beautification activity in honor of Earth Day on April 22. Our philanthropic event this spring was Canine Carnival on April 13, which raised almost $4,000 for Making of Miracle Stories Animal Rescue of Virginia to help homeless animals and promote their adoption. We are focusing on recruitment as a year-round process instead of a short period in each semester. We hope that this will help us to bring out more potential new members while still maintaining exceptional quality.
~Colton Wolf, 2020
Wabash Delta Chi
Our chapter started 2018 in an innovative way. We have redesigned our risk management system by collaborating with other fraternities and chapters of Sigma Chi within Indiana. Part of this new system utilizes the risk managers from other visiting fraternities. This has proved to establish better relationships with other chapters and has ensured that our house as well as everyone within it during social events remain safe. In addition to our new risk management system, the chapter also set a new record for Sigma Chi State Day on Feb. 10 with a 97 percent attendance rate.
~Arthur Equihua, 2020
Washington & Lee Zeta
We were enjoying our 152nd year on campus, and brought in a pledge class of three new men. We were looking forward to our annual Derby Days philanthropic event from April 23 to 27, 2018, including concerts and fundraising competitions. We have had great success with our fundraising the past two years, earning us a brick on the “Walk of Hope” pathway between Huntsman Cancer Institute and Huntsman Cancer Hospital, and we hoped for more this year. As of March, we had newly elected officers for all positions and looked forward to good things from the new leadership.
~Caleb Knight, 2018
Our chapter was happy to have completed another successful quarter at the time of this writing. We planned to pay off our final loan for our chapter house this past spring and start using that money to make more improvements to it. We also elected new officers who were just beginning their terms. Consul Brandon Nelsen, 2020, will lead the chapter and its new slate of officers into the next academic year. Many members are anticipating and excited for their upcoming summer internships. We are excited to end the school year on a positive note that will carry over to next year.
~Nelsen
With 13 juniors abroad this past spring, our chapter came together to keep things running smoothly. Recruitment chairmen Sam Margolis, 2020, and Kyle Perez, 2019, secured a 25-man pledge class, and Magister Shadi Awad, 2018 , and his staff worked hard to prepare these men for their April 7 initiation. We were preparing for the April 14 to 15 ThurtenE Carnival organized by Greek-letter members at the university, specifically focused on connecting campus with the St. Louis metro area. Funds raised during ThurtenE and this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event, held March 26 to 31, benefited the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
~Thomas Gardner, 2020
Our chapter was extremely committed to philanthropy during the spring semester of the 2017 to 2018 school year. With $5,000 in donations to the Huntsman Cancer Institute as of March 2018, we were on track to raise nearly $10,000. This would be a record fundraising amount for the chapter and is a tradition that our members would like to carry on. This semester, the chapter hosted a drive-in movie event for the first time, showing The Sandlot in the parking lot of our chapter house on April 18.
~Kyle Arnold, 2020
Our chapter hosted a Derby Days philanthropic event for the first time in years from Oct. 2 to 7, 2017, focusing our efforts on mental health. The members of our chapter are passionate about ending the stigma around mental illness and creating a supportive environment for all. As of this writing, we had seven pledges who were eager to join our brotherhood and we had also elected Scott Rochon, 2019, as our Consul and Samuel Rubin, 2021 , as our Pro Consul. We look forward to seeing the results of the amazing things that our chapter is doing.
~Rubin
Our chapter has been having a great year. We had the highest GPA among the chapters in the Interfraternity Council and the second-highest among all Greek-letter organizations. As of this writing, we were headed into our Derby Days philanthropic event from March 22 to 24, 2018, where our goal was to raise $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We were also in the final weeks leading to our formal, which was to be held at Tailfins restaurant in Destin, Florida, from April 13 to 15.
~Joe Stevens, 2021
Our spring 2018 semester started off well. We continued to implement our new risk management plan and our strategic plan for recruitment. We had a successful recruitment period and 26 bids were accepted. Unfortunately, the pledging process and our spring semester were cut short due to a moratorium on Greek-letter life at the university. As of this writing, our school’s administration was reviewing all chapters and deciding which would be welcomed back next year. We expect to be one of the chapters welcomed back and plan on continuing to improve our chapter.
~Nicholas Collins, 2017
On Feb. 18, 2018, our chapter lost a significant mentor in Leslie Hatcher, 1991 , at age 48. Hatcher had been diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer on June 6, 2016. His selfless and genuine actions have influenced a majority of past and present members to behave similarly. He was one of the founders of our chapter, which colonized under the name of Sigma Chi Alpha. His death and memory have inspired the whole chapter to give back more to Huntsman Cancer Institute in the fight to end cancer.
~Nicholas Bond, 2019
Our chapter was in good standing at the time of this writing. Due to our optimism throughout the recruitment process, we recruited four pledges who we hope will make a difference in the Fraternity. This was a substantial improvement from our past two spring recruitment seasons. Aside from that, we have been working diligently for our philanthropy. We had our Derby Days philanthropic event planned for April 9 to 12, 2018, and a Super Smash Bros. video game tournament on May 3. We were hoping to raise $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute during the spring semester.
~Graham Lewson, 2021
Western Illinois Iota Omicron
Our chapter had 45 members at the time of this writing, which is the largest it has been in recent memory. Most of our attention during the spring 2018 semester was aimed at our Derby Days philanthropic event, which we held from March 26 to 30. Last spring, we raised just around $4,000 and had every sorority participate. We hoped to repeat that success at this year’s event.
On Nov. 3, 2017, we held a fundraiser at Diamond Dave’s restaurant in Macomb, Illinois, and raised $275 to help reach our goal of $5,000.

Our high ideals and evident success have improved the reputation of Sigma Chi on campus. With a large pledge class and a strong will and energy to continue improving our chapter foundations, our brothers have their eyes on the future.

We could not be more excited to pair up with the day center, and we hope this relationship will last for years to come. We began making plans to celebrate the chapter’s 50th anniversary in the fall of 2018. For more information, email the chapter at wmsigs@gmail.com.

Each year, a delegation of fraternity and sorority members, including Sigma Chis, converge on Capitol Hill to speak with legislators about topics pertinent to Greek-letter life. This year, Jon Degner, DRAKE 1997, at left; Seth Jones, WYOMING 2020; and Zach Berger, UTAH 2018 , were there on April 28, urging lawmakers to support the REACH Act, which would require institutions of higher education to disclose hazing incidents. They also showed their support of the Higher Education Act, which would preserve undergraduates’ rights to freely associate with single-sex organizations. Below, Jones answers questions about his experience lobbying for these issues.
Why did you want to travel to Washington, D.C., and lobby on behalf of fraternities?
Sigma Chi has been an incredibly important part of my collegiate experience, so when it came time to have the opportunity to travel through the Fraternity, I couldn’t pass it up. … I was just elected student body president … [and] also thought it would be a great learning opportunity to [network and] speak on behalf of Greek[-letter life].
What impact do you feel that you had?
Most of the legislative aides and congress people we met with seemed very supportive of the cause we were lobbying for. … [and] the aides or representatives we met with seemed to be very engaged with our cause.
What does it mean to you to have represented fraternities on Capitol Hill?
Being able to represent a body larger than just Sigma Chi helped me see the big picture of why Greek[-letter] life is still relevant … . Within the [roster of attendees] for this lobbying effort … [were] … past and present chapter presidents, student body presidents [and] Interfraternity Council and college Panhellenic conference leaders from all over [who were there] to represent the organizations they care about. Even though we come from different

, pause while speaking with legislators on April 25, 2018, on Capitol Hill. They were among the Sigma Chis and members of other fraternities and sororities to encourage Congress to fight hazing through support of the REACH Act and to preserve undergraduates’ rights to freely associate in single-sex organizations with the Higher Education Act.

[chapters], we were all here for the same reason: to preserve the fraternal experience on campus that helped shape us into the leaders we are.
Why do you think [these acts] are important pieces of legislation to lobby for?
I think that the REACH Act is important as it [brings] hazing incidents in the same reporting line as sexual misconduct cases. … We should do everything we can to prevent [hazing] occurrences, as they take away from brotherhood and what it actually means to be in [a] fraternity.
What is your biggest takeaway from the experience?
Outside of the lobbying effort, we were able to connect with leadership through Sigma Chi. ... Getting to hear their experiences within [Washington,] D.C. … was a wonderful experience that helped remind me how connected we are within our organization.

Founded 70 years ago, the Order of Constantine recognizes members for the years they spend helping advance Sigma Chi
By
Engraved on the medallion that has been presented to each brother inducted into the Order of Constantine since its inception in 1948 are the words that say he has worn the White Cross in a manner the seven Founders would have commended. When the first class of inductees was introduced at the 47th Grand Chapter in Seattle, they were presented as those who had performed outstanding service on behalf of the Fraternity. The celebration of these men and their service to the Fraternity was regarded as the most outstanding achievement of that meeting.
This year represents the 70th anniversary of the creation of the Order of Constantine, and since then, 761 brothers have been given the distinction of membership into it.
After the creation of the Significant Sig Award in 1935, Fraternity leaders felt that similar recognition was needed for those who had labored long and arduously for the development of the ideals of Sigma Chi. A formal plan for the founding of the Order of Constantine was presented to a special meeting of the Executive Committee on July 21, 1948. Thirty-fourth Grand Consul and Maj. Gen. Patrick Hurley, GEORGE WASHINGTON 1913 , gave the idea his enthusiastic approval. The first class of 44 Order of Constantine Sigs who gave their time, energy and effort — inspired by the emotions of their hearts in their love for Sigma Chi and the way of life that came to them from the lessons of the White Cross — was comprised of Grand Officers, past and present; veteran chapter
advisors; outstanding Grand Chapter speakers; alumni chapter stalwarts; faithful undergraduate chapter supporters; and exceptional chapter house corporation officers. These brothers, and all past and present Order of Constantine Sigs are often referred to as the “eighth Founders,” as they represent the builders of Sigma Chi.
As an entity within the Fraternity, the Order of Constantine works under a set of bylaws which authorizes its guidance to that of a president, vice president and secretary/treasurer. Currently, those positions are held by Craig Brewerton, UTAH STATE 1967 ; Jeff Muir, GEORGIA 1971 ; and Dick Burns, MIAMI (FLORIDA) 1969, respectively. Each officer holds his position for two years.
The Order of Constantine holds a meeting at each Grand Chapter, conducting business and welcoming its newly inducted members. An informal meeting is usually held in off years at Grand Council.
To be eligible for selection into the Order of Constantine, candidates have usually served Sigma Chi for at least 20 years. Anyone in good standing with the Fraternity can nominate a brother for induction into the Order of Constantine. To do so, they submit to Headquarters a letter of nomination, biographical material for the nominee and no fewer than four letters of endorsement for his selection. At least three of those letters must be from current members of the Order of Constantine.
Once all nominations have been received, a selection committee of seven men, appointed by the president of the Order of Constantine, reviews the

nominations. This committee will decide upon the candidates for induction. Currently, the maximum number that can be selected in any given year is 20 men. There is no honorary or posthumous membership into this entity.
When a brother is inducted into the Order of Constantine, a special lapel pin is placed upon his chest, and he receives a medal emblazoned with the Order of Constantine logo, a certificate and plaque. The lapel pin has been the subject of periodic redesign. The first design was based upon the Norman Shield pledge pin. It took the form of a plain white cross on a light-blue background with a circular gold perimeter adorned with laurel leaves. This design made no mention of the Order of Constantine and as such was not popular.
Several other pins were designed and made for the entity’s membership but over time, these designs, too, grew unpopular. The current pin was based upon the replica of the badge that Harry St. John Dixon, VIRGINIA and CONSTANTINE 1867, made from a half dollar during the Civil War. The pin is silver with a plain White Cross; arching above the cross are the words, “The Order of Constantine.” This pin has been the official emblem since 1986. This year, the pin will be placed upon the chests of 18 inductees who are members of the 2018 class of the Order of Constantine. Their induction does not represent the reward for a life dedicated to Sigma Chi, but in some way, it is an acknowledgement of the work they have done and is a motivator to help them continue their journeys of
unselfish giving of their time, talents and experience to advance the interests of the Fraternity. While Sigma Chis say, “The world expects more of us [than it does of others],” membership within the Order of Constantine also expects more of its inductees. From them, much still is needed
Their induction does not represent the reward for a life dedicated to Sigma Chi, but in some way, it is an acknowledgement of the work they have done and is a motivator to help them continue their journeys of unselfish giving of their time, talents and experience to advance the interests of the Fraternity.
Twenty-ninth Grand Consul L.G. Balfour, INDIANA 1907 ; 33rd Grand Consul Charles Hough, ILLINOIS 1915; William Henning, DEPAUW 1890; and 32nd Grand Consul Ben Fisher, ILLINOIS 1948 ; pose at the 46th Grand Chapter in 1946 in Chicago.

The 126-foot-long yacht, Wild Goose, which Significant Sig John Wayne, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1929, bought in 1962, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Wayne bought the vessel for $116,000, according to the National Park Service. The yacht is now part of the fleet used by Hornblower Cruises and Events in Newport Beach, California.

With the Villanova men’s basketball team’s win over Michigan on April 2, 2018, in San Antonio, the team won its second national championship in three years, led by head coach and Significant Sig Jay Wright, BUCKNELL 1983. Wright also became the second coach in Division I history with four straight 30-win seasons, according to espn.com.
Fraternity members and brothers-to-be are familiar with The Norman Shield pledge manual. Fewer of them, however, are familiar with The Right Start career guide by Order of Constantine Sig and 17th Grand Historian Robert Collett, DENISON 1914. Published in 1955 and again in 1957, it contains study tips and financial advice, and addresses qualities to look for in prospective companies when job searching.
The Fraternity has presented the International Balfour Award to its most outstanding senior annually since 1930. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of Utah chapters are tied with having the greatest number of recipients; each claims four winners.
Fortieth Grand Consul Richard Doyle, GEORGE WASHINGTON 1917, at left, became the first acting Grand Consul to attend what is now referred to as the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop when he traveled to the Aug. 22 to 25, 1959, event at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. He is shown here at the event with Significant Sig Brooks Hays, ARKANSAS and GEORGE WASHINGTON 1922.
