CORRECTIONS:

The Harry St. John Dixon Memorial is located in Fresno, California, and Bob Raney, CINCINNATI 1974 , is the warden of the Franklin Howard Scobey Memorial Monument. His email address is raney04@aol.com. We listed the incorrect information in the fall issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi.

On April 8, 2016, the Executive Committee voted to approve the Monuments and Memorials Commission’s proposal to create a plaque for the Hanover undergraduate chapter house. It joins plaques such as the one at Albion College that marks the site of the creation of The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, rather than joining the list of 14 monuments and memorials that includes the Founders’ monuments. We regret any confusion that may have been created in the fall issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi.

Letter From the Grand Consul

Brothers and Friends,

“Joining Sigma Chi is a lifelong commitment.” How often do we hear that phrase? Everyone likes to snap their fingers when someone says, “Others claim they were in a fraternity, while I am proud to say that I am a Sigma Chi.” As with many things in life, it is often easy to say those words, but it can be difficult to live their meaning. The lifelong commitment is no exception.

Our badge reminds us of the lifelong commitment to the Fraternity that we take at initiation. To some people, Sigma Chi is only a college club, but for those who strive to embrace its ideals, we owe it to them to ensure that they have the basis and knowledge to truly fulfill that lifelong commitment. When they have that knowledge about the Fraternity, they can make their experience a lifelong one. The Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program was the first step in that endeavor to teach and train our recruits who will become brothers. The next step is the Ritual for Life (R4L) training for new initiates. I hope that as you learn more about it, you will see why I am so thrilled about the effect it should have upon our brothers.

The old P.I.T., or post-initiation training, was good in theory, but in reality, very few chapters followed it. The meetings that were part of the training were stale and other than a brief discussion on how to enter a chapter meeting, most chapters never held any type of additional training. Every year at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW), we would schedule a Ritual talk during the evening’s SigFest. Rather than play the games such as flag football or basketball at SigFest or go out and socialize, brothers showed up to hear and participate in the Ritual talk. Every year it had more people in it than expected, and every year it ran much longer than it was scheduled. Clearly, there was a hunger for learning cool stuff about our Ritual. Those who have gone through Ritual Renaissance and Revitalization training have been amazed about the neat things in our Ritual and how fun the learning can be.

Thus, R4L was born and is being piloted at 44 chapters this fall, with plans for a full launch next academic year. The first of the three program sessions are done by the Pro Consul and offers the nuts and bolts of how to get into a meeting using a password, as well as where to sit and what happens during it. This session is about an hour long. The second session is my favorite one, where we take the neat things from Ritual Renaissance and Revitalization training and from the Ritual talks at Balfour LTW and squeeze them into a 90-minute session with slides and videos, presented by a trained Ritual Peer. My belief is that all Sigs will enjoy being a part of that second session, so hopefully it can help bring alumni back to the chapter just to watch them and learn. The final session revolves around the “architecture of Sigma Chi” and is presented by the Pro Consul, with video explanations from 62nd Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973

The need for R4L was real and I expected the P4B committee that developed it would create a program that would meet it, but believe me, they delivered more than I expected, and I hope it will exceed your expectations, too. Send us feedback at grandconsul@sigmachi.org on what you think about the need for R4L or its contents, if you are lucky enough to be from a pilot chapter. The program will continue to evolve.

Expect more,

Letter From the Editor

Dear Readers,

I did not realize when we began creating the feature content for this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi that it would become a tribute to the work of 62nd Grand Consul Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973, who passed away on Aug. 29, 2017, and 65th Grand Consul Bob Jones, RENSSELAER 1973. These Significant Sigs and Order of Constantine Sigs have played key roles in the Ritual Renaissance and Revitalization committee over the years; their work laid the foundation for the Ritual Peer program, in which brothers are certified in their knowledge of the Ritual so that they can assist undergraduate chapters with such matters.

It became clear in writing a story for this issue about the new Ritual for Life program, which relies upon Ritual Peers to deliver a portion of the curriculum, that their work helped make it all possible.

Carlson and Jones have been widely sought for their knowledge of the Ritual, and seemed to thrive on educating brothers about its history. They understood the necessity for doing so, as it is the basis for the ideals and virtues that guide Sigma Chis. It will be difficult to think of their work without missing Carlson’s presence at events such as Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, where he shuttled across campus to deliver Ritual history talks. That said, it seems fitting that this was the issue in which we discussed R4L, so that it can be pay tribute to not only Carlson, but to Jones, who will carry on the important work with the Ritual Peer program and the Ritual Renaissance and Revitalization committee. Enjoy the issue.

Sincerely,

Susan Lorimor EDITOR

Brothers Extend Strong Arms of Support After Storms Hit Texas in August

After Hurricane Harvey brought about 5 feet of rain to the Houston area from Aug. 26 to 30, 2017, resident Brad Van Kampen, STEPHEN F. AUSTIN 1985 , was left picking up the pieces. Thankfully, his brothers were there to help.

“We don’t usually worry too much about [hurricanes],” says Van Kampen shown here. “But this time, while it lost its hurricane-force winds, it just stayed over us and rained and rained and rained.”

In our #flagfriday post on Sept. 1, which generated 1,563 likes on Instagram as of Sept. 28, Van Kampen is standing outside of his home in knee-high floodwater. “That flag was literally floating by and so I asked my friend to take a picture,” says Van Kampen, who explained to his friend that the flag meant a lot to him.

Van Kampen’s unofficial measurement is that more than 60 inches of rain flooded his home, which, after a few days, mixed with backed-up sewage water. “Everything was toxic, everything was poison,” he says.

He adds that he saw Sigma Chis of all ages, from 18-years-old to their mid-60s, organize efforts on Facebook to help those like him who needed it. At least eight brothers came to assist Van Kampen, including his chapter brother, Stephen Hill, 1988 , who traveled more than five hours from Fort Worth, Texas.

“Armies and armies of volunteers just mobilized and appeared out of nowhere,” says Van Kampen. “It was very humbling [and] very overwhelming how hard all of these people worked for free.”

University of Louisville Chapter Picks Up $100 in Merlin Olsen Day of Service Contest

In a contest to see which chapter could receive the most amount of likes on a picture showing its involvement in the Sept. 15, 2017, Merlin Olsen Day of Service, the undergraduate chapter at the University of Louisville proved victorious. The chapter won $100 to use for its next service project.

Members of the chapter, pictured here, walked across their campus and Cherokee Park in Louisville, Kentucky, participating in their annual event, “Sigs Picking up Cigs for the Merlin Olsen Day of Service.” In efforts to promote the day of service, the Sigma Chi International Fraternity created a Facebook event where chapters could share pictures of their members getting involved within their communities.

“It really wasn’t that difficult to get brothers involved, just because we’re all pretty passionate about Sigma Chi in general,” says Kyle Ackerman, LOUISVILLE 2019

In total, about 30 Sigma Chis participated in the Sigs Picking up Cigs event, and the chapter’s photograph in the Facebook event page totaled 154 likes, beating out the other 12 chapters that posted images.

Ackerman says he and his brothers reached out to the Greek-letter women on campus for their help to win the contest. Brothers provided the direct link to their chapter’s photo on the

He stated that he and the volunteers accomplished two weeks’ worth of work in one day.

“I’ve never been more proud to be a Sigma Chi than [I have] this past month,” he says, expressing his gratitude for the work and brotherhood the volunteers shared with him. “If I lived 10 lifetimes I could never thank them enough.”

Ackerman says that he and his brothers hold their annual Sigs Picking up Cigs event when the weather is nice, following their Derby Days philanthropic event and before their Wrap Up Louisville event. As part of Wrap Up Louisville, members of the chapter host a blanket drive with the Salvation Army for those in the city who are homeless.

Assisting in the Aftermath

Brothers lend a helping hand to those affected by storms this past fall.

By Evan Moore

In the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma this past August and September, undergraduates and alumni volunteered to help those affected by the storms. While those featured below are just a few of the brothers who assisted others, they received the Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action™ Leadership Award for their efforts.

Brothers Help Rescue Those Stranded in Storm Waters

When Luke Oldham, TARLETON STATE 2014 , learned of the devastation Hurricane Harvey was causing in Houston in late August 2017, he knew that he wanted to do something about it. Harvey made landfall as a category four hurricane on Aug. 25 near the Texas Gulf Coast, then was downgraded to a tropical storm and stalled over the area, keeping rain falling for days, dumping almost 52 inches of rain in the Houston area.

With the rising flood waters, many people were stranded and in need of help. On Aug. 28, Oldham and chapter brother Jake Jones, 2016 , went to Houston from Fort Worth, Texas, with a small boat in tow, so that they could rescue residents from the flood waters. Oldham says they helped several people.

Oldham and Jones started out using an app through which people would give their location and say they needed help, but when the Sigs got there, they were gone. “So, we ended up following a truck with some canoes on it,” Oldham says, adding that they tagged along with those in the truck who were also there to rescue people.

He adds that he and Jones came across three families who refused to leave their homes because they were scared that people would loot their belongings. “We also rescued one gentleman and then took him back so he could get important documents and take pictures of the damages,” Oldham says.

He adds that he and Jones came across many thankful people in Houston. “They were so grateful.

You can tell that they were still in shock because they lost all of their belongings. They were in awe of what was going on,” he says.

Sigs Ensure Small-town Residents Were Not Forgotten

Alex Fleishman, HOUSTON 1994 , believes the press coverage of Hurricane Harvey this past August left out the areas east of Houston and how residents there were grappling with the effects of the storm, focusing instead on the impact on those in the larger city. As a result, Fleishman directed his relief efforts to Sour Lake, Texas.

“We wanted to make sure these folks weren’t forgotten,” says Fleishman. He, four other Sigs and two more people borrowed an 18-foot trailer truck from a friend and filled it with supplies.

“Through donations, we were able to get that truck totally packed. We found out that [the residents] didn’t need food or water. They needed cleaning supplies,” Fleishman says.

According to Katie Magee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Houston-Galveston, Texas, bureau, the 51.88 inches of rainfall that dropped on the Houston area as a result of the storm was a record. “We did see the most rainfall from a tropical storm in the U.S. The record was right at 52 inches,” she adds.

This meant that residents had much flood damage to clean up. Fleishman and his group spent roughly four hours on Sept. 9 in Sour Lake handing out plastic bins, toilet tissue, paper towels, contractorsize trash bags, mosquito repellent, bleach and sunscreen to those who would take it. He estimates

Character-in-Action

his group helped at least 30 households.

“We drove the truck around to the people who needed it most,” Fleishman says. “There was a man who had tears in his eyes as we were giving him some supplies.”

Undergraduates Organize Cleanup

Following Hurricane Irma

The Sigs from the Florida Atlantic University undergraduate chapter wanted to lend a helping hand in the aftermath of the devastation Hurricane Irma left on their campus after the storm went through the area on Sept. 10.

Three days later, the chapter’s executive board met and came up with a plan involving social media, on which they announced their clean-up efforts.

“Irma left some pretty nasty damage to our campus and we wanted to make a change,” says Consul Tyler Bonney, 2019, of the tree branches, leaves and other debris that were strewn across campus. “We put out a call to all [of those in Greek-letter life] and other students. We wanted to do something to help the [campus] maintenance people [clean-up].”

On Sept. 15, five Sigs, two members of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity and three members of Sigma

Making a difference in your life and the lives of others

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

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

For information about the award, see sigmachi.org/mark-v-andersoncharacter-in-action-leadership-award

Kappa Sorority assisted the Sigs in cleaning the campus, which they did for two hours.

“We cleaned sidewalks [and] we raked up leaves and put them in trash cans. We helped move tree branches from the sidewalks. We basically did everything we could to make the campus presentable,” Bonney says. “The maintenance guys are going to be cleaning up the environmental damage for the next couple of months. We want to come back out and clean up every two weeks to help out. We want to make sure our campus gets back to normal.”

Significant Sigs

In 2017, Sigma Chi International Fraternity presented brothers the Significant Sig Award as a way to recognize them for their professional achievements that have brought honor and prestige to the Fraternity. The award was established in 1935 as a simple token of recognition and has become one of the most distinguished awards in the Greek-letter world.

Offering Much Needed Help

As southeast Texans continue to recover from the aftermath of this past August’s Hurricane Harvey, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr, PENNSYLVANIA 1959 , continues to help his employees of the local Huntsman Corporation and others with their needs.

He notes that in several of the communities outside of Houston where the company has facilities that manufacture polyurethane and other chemicals, most of the homes were devastated. Those cities include Port Arthur and Port Neches, among others. “This means displaced people,” Huntsman Sr., says, explaining that the flood waters would have damaged the homes and the moisture could give rise to mold within the houses.

To help those in need, Huntsman Sr. and his company have rented apartments as temporary housing for some of their employees. His staff has also walked through the communities, distributing $500 or $1,000 gift cards to the residents, so they can use them to buy whatever they need. They are also assisting those in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which was also affected by the flood. “We don’t make a distinction in those areas of our associates

or others,” he explains, noting that everyone who needs help receives it.

Huntsman Sr. is helping via the Huntsman Flood Fund, a subsidiary of the Beaumont Foundation that was formed to support residents impacted by the hurricane. The flood fund began with $3 million, $1 million of which came from Huntsman’s own money and another $1 million from the Huntsman Family Foundation. Wayne Reaud and Buddy Low of the Beaumont Foundation also donated a total of $1 million to the flood fund; Huntsman Sr. hopes to grow the it to $10 million. He and his associates are sending letters to Huntsman Corporation’s customers seeking donations; he spoke of another $25,000 they received on Nov. 9 from a company with which they do business.

“This will go on for over two years,” Huntsman says, noting that it takes time to rebuild and recover from a storm of Harvey’s magnitude.

He says that when he traveled up and down the flooded Texas streets in a canoe three or four days after the storm, he knew it would take time to recover from it. “This one was an enormous amount of water,” he says, explaining that it closed the

company’s manufacturing sites because power and generators went down.

Of course, the facilities are back open, but the residents are left reeling. To better assist them, Huntsman Sr. has site directors for each 10 to 15 local areas in which the company has a manufacturing site. The directors are assessing the needs of those in the communities to determine where help is needed. Huntsman Sr. says that when the American Red Cross and others leave the area, that is when people need it most; that is why he knows the flood fund assistance will continue for multiple years.

Huntsman Sr.’s chapter brother, Significant Sig Charles Butt, 1959 , who is chairman and CEO of the Texas-based H-E-B supermarkets, also donated $5 million of his own money to the Justin J. Watt’s Houston Flood Relief and his company reportedly donated $1 million to flood relief. Butt was Pro Consul of his chapter when Huntsman Sr. was its Consul.

Understanding the Ritual

The Fraternity pilots a program to teach new initiates about the deeper meaning of Sigma Chi’s sacred text.

By Susan Lorimor

This fall, 44 undergraduate chapters began the pilot test of the new Ritual for Life (R4L) program, which will replace the P.I.T, or post-initiation training, that some chapters have had in place. It will feature three phases of education.

Those phases include: week one, which includes a presentation by a chapter’s Pro Consul about the Ritualistic procedures in chapter meetings; week two, in which a Ritual Peer, who is certified on his Ritual knowledge, will speak about the interpretation of Ritualistic ceremonies; and week three, during which the Pro Consul will deliver a “Principled Architecture” presentation.

The presentation, which details the Fraternity’s ideals and values, was created by 62nd Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973 , who passed away on Aug. 29, 2017.

“We were looking around, and what we realized is that not every chapter has a P.I.T.,” says Kentucky/Tennessee Lakes province Grand Praetor and Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) committee member Dale Thomas, AUSTIN PEAY 1999, of the need for R4L.

He explains that while some of the Fraternity’s 242 chapters may have an elaborate P.I.T., some do not have one, and for others, the training may amount to giving new initiates a Ritual book and telling them to go read it.

“If you do not understand the meaning and interpretation of the single-most important piece that embodies the Fraternity, which is the Ritual, [then] you’ve lost that foundation,” says Order of Constantine Sig and P4B committee vice chairman Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982 , adding that if members do not have that understanding of the Ritual, it’s often left to their interpretation, which may not be what the Founders intended of the words or actions written about within the Ritual.

Galbo, Thomas and others on the R4L committee say that there is demand for the program, and that it was easy to find volunteers to enroll their chapters in it. In fact, Pro Consuls who learned about R4L this past summer say they are excited for the new curriculum to be put into place.

Pro Consul Jeremy Osborne, SOUTHERN UTAH 2018 , gained an understanding of R4L at this past summer’s 81st Grand

Chapter in Providence, Rhode Island, and received more details about it at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW) in Bowling Green, Ohio, along with other Pro Consuls. “After being exposed to more of the details of the program, it served to bolster my already firm belief that this program is absolutely essential to the wellbeing of our Fraternity,” he says.

Order of Constantine Sig and a Significant Sig. They led the Ritual Renaissance and Revitalization committee, which gave birth to the Ritual Peer program. As Galbo explains, there were two Ritual Peers on the P4B committee who had access to their training materials, which was adapted when creating the curriculum for undergraduates to use in R4L.

The Ritual Peers are also an important component of the post-initiation program, serving as facilitators of its week-two session. As of press time, there were 381 certified Ritual Peers in 45 states and four Canadian provinces.

“If you do not understand the meaning and interpretation of the single-most important piece that embodies the Fraternity, which is the Ritual, [then] you’ve lost that foundation,” says Order of Constantine Sig Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982 .

Osborne, who has since become the undergraduate delegate to the P4B committee, says that if R4L was anything like P4B, which prepares men for initiation, he knew it would be necessary for the organization. “As a self-proclaimed Ritualist, as well as a certified Ritual Peer, I believe that the R4L program is the bridge that will help this Fraternity get back to the vision that our Founders had for this organization.”

Much of the necessary foundation for R4L education was put into place by Carlson and 65th Grand Consul Bob Jones, RENSSELAER 1973 , who is also an

“Our logistics issue between now and when we roll [R4L] out across all chapters [in fall 2018] will be to get all Ritual Peers trained and certified so [the Fraternity] will have one close to a chapter,” says Order of Constantine Sig and P4B committee member Jeff Greene, WYOMING 1975

Some Ritual Peers may be heavily concentrated in certain geographic areas, such as Minnesota, likely due to the influence of Carlson, who lived in Minneapolis and was well-regarded for his passion for teaching members about the Ritual.

The R4L curriculum combines facilitated discussions by chapter Pro Consuls, presentations by Ritual Peers, and online learning on Sigma Chi U through videos, catering to various learning styles. Galbo says he would like for the Ritual Peers to make their R4L presentations at province conferences in the spring; in the meantime, the P4B committee will be gathering and implementing feedback from the pilot chapters in order to improve the R4L before its full launch.

R4L will also be a focus of the 2018 Balfour LTW.

Greene says preparing for the pilot and eventual launch of the program is exciting. “We developed things that were sorely lacking in our organization,” he says, adding that in some cases, the post-initiation training was simply not done well. “It’s a quantum leap ahead [from when I was a new initiate].”

He says that such training for him was about two hours maximum, and consisted mainly of how he could gain access to a chapter meeting as an initiated member and what he had just went through during initiation. “My deeper meanings of the Ritual came after I graduated and met people like Doug [Carlson],” Greene says, noting that such people were his teachers.

Now, Carlson’s legacy will inspire thousands of new initiates across North America.

Deepened Connections

As the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program enters its second year of implementation across undergraduate chapters, brothers say it has brought a greater understanding of oneself, others and the organization.

By Ryan Rogers, WINDSOR 2005

t the Southern Utah University undergraduate chapter, Magister Taylor Lee, 2019, has seen firsthand how putting Sigma Chi’s values at the forefront of the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program has impacted members.

In a pledge’s first week of new member education, he is led through an experiential exercise in which he reads a poem, The Man in the Glass, that prompts him to reflect upon his decisions and how he is the final judge of his character. During the spring 2017 pledge term at Southern Utah, then-pledge Kyle Egan, 2021 , had a strong reaction to the activity.

“It hit him so hard, he had so much going on in his life, that he broke down and cried for like 10 minutes,” says Lee. The pledge brother hadn’t expected to be moved so strongly. He didn’t expect something so deep from a social organization.

“It’s no doubt my favorite activity that pledges go through and I love that it’s the first thing they go through,” Lee adds.

Now in its second year of full implementation, P4B is ensuring that all chapters strongly emphasize the organization’s core values at the beginning of pledgeship through uniform e-learning and experiential exercises. This presents a major shift in preparing pledges for brotherhood, as prior to the launch of the program, chapters prepared their own lesson plans, which were then approved by their respective Grand Praetor. That meant that pledge programs varied from chapter to chapter.

Magister Will Kennedy, BRADLEY 2018 , says P4B is a welcome change at his chapter. Jack Ramsey, 2016 , led Kennedy through his pledgeship during

the 2014 to 2015 academic year. Kennedy says he described the intensity of the pledge process like this: The program’s first 12 weeks represented 15 percent of what a man needed to know to become a brother, and the remaining 85 percent came during what was known as I-Week, or the days leading up to initiation. P4B replaced I-Week with the Ritual Bridge, a transition period to prepare pledges for experiencing the Ritual.

Kennedy says he believes the changes are for the better. He adds, “P4B does a lot better job showing the pledges and the new members how important Sigma Chi is as a values-based organization.”

A stronger organization

Alabama Gulf Coast province Grand Praetor, Significant Sig and Order of Constantine Sig Ken Kvalheim, SOUTH ALABAMA 1981 , sits on the Education Leadership Board, which oversees the curriculum used in programs such as P4B, and he says the pledge program was specifically designed to get brothers more engaged with living Sigma Chi’s values. He explains that achieving that vision meant making changes at the outset of brotherhood.

Prior to P4B, pledgeship routinely began with memorizing The Jordan Standard, The Sigma Chi Creed and learning about the Founders and the creation of the organization. The heart of what it means to be a Sigma Chi was saved for I-Week. “[Pledges] just [memorized] things and then we put them through this intense week where we

does a lot better job showing the pledges and the new members how important Sigma Chi is as a values-based organization,” says Will Kennedy, BRADLEY 2003 .

Program Improvements to Come

Following the Fraternity-wide implementation of Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) in the 2016 to 2017 academic year, a number of changes were made to enhance the program. Those improvements are listed below.

 PORTIONS OF THE MAGISTER GUIDE WERE REWORKED, such as the “goals vs. ideals” and Constantine lecture sections, based off of feedback from Magisters, chapter advisors and Grand Praetors;

 THE BIG BROTHER MANUAL WAS UPDATED to better incorporate the Connections part of the pledge program. Connections is the process in which pledges are encouraged to meet with initiates to get to know them;

 A P4B FAQ HANDOUT that includes best practices from last academic year was created; and

 THE 2017 TO 2019 NORMAN SHIELD layout has been formatted to better follow the weeks of P4B.

Continued from page 38

[talked] about intangibles and [tried] to talk about conceptual things and our core values in more depth,” says Kvalheim. “Now we give it to them a little bit at a time – [it’s] sort of a chance to grasp, understand [and] ask questions, instead of throwing it all to them in one week.”

He says the results are a greater and deeper appreciation for our ceremonies of initiation, which then will be followed by the new Ritual for Life (R4L) program, which is being piloted at select chapters. Once brothers are initiated, they will experience R4L, where they will gain further insight into Sigma Chi’s values and where they come from – the Ritual.

But before that learning takes place, pledges experience P4B, complete with a reorganized Big Brother program, which is intended to aid pledges in grasping the lessons they must learn if they are to become Sigma Chis. Big Brothers are now paired with their Little Brothers in the beginning of pledgeship, and more may be expected of the Big Brothers today than before P4B, depending upon how a chapter previously ran its pledge program. With P4B, Big Brothers must guide weekly discussions with their Little Brothers about what they have learned, further impressing upon them Sigma Chi’s values.

In the past, the Big Brother and Little Brother may have been paired later during pledgeship, after a relationship between the two of them had begun to form. Thus, the pairing may have come as a result of who had become friends with one another, and the depth of discussions on Sigma Chi’s values depended upon their

compatibility, without structure for the conversations. P4B, on the other hand, pairs Big Brothers and Little Brothers earlier in pledgeshp and instructs Big Brothers to focus primarily on being a mentor to their Little Brothers, and the curriculum provides discussion questions for the two to use.

“The Big Brother meetings can be intense,” says Lee. “I was a Big [Brother] for … fall [2016] with P4B, and [of] some of those questions, I thought, ‘Wow. How would I even answer that?’ It definitely really makes them think.”

Some of the weekly questions ask, ‘If wisdom is an ideal, what is its goal?,’ and ‘What does it mean when someone says integrity is one of the few, if not the only, virtue(s) that no one can take from you except yourself?’.

Lee says asking tough questions helps build the bond between the Big Brother and Little Brother, and reaffirms the former’s role as a coach. “It’s almost like a guarantee that the Big [Brother] will be more perceived as a mentor than a guide, rather than trying to be [their] best friend. Now, with P4B, you could almost put anybody with a pledge knowing that what

Building Knowledge and

Relationships

The Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge education program is intended to help the Fraternity’s new recruits learn about the organization’s values and history while allowing them to build relationships with their pledge brothers and the chapter. Below is data gathered from Sigma Chi’s 2017 pledge classes regarding those efforts.

they go through once they’re together, [that] they’ll develop a connection.”

In addition to the deepened friendships between those within chapters, P4B has been shown to increase pledge retention. The pilot chapters during the 2015 to 2016 academic year had an 86 percent retention rate, while all others had an average 84 percent retention rate. Kvalheim also says there is increased involvement among brothers in the pilot chapters.

“We’re in the infancy of this, but what I’ve seen is more brothers staying active in the chapter after initiation,” says Kvalheim. “We’re in our first year of having active members that went through the program last year, and I’m seeing they’re more engaged and more involved than I’ve seen in the past.”

Lee also says that he can envision P4B allowing the Fraternity to continue to grow stronger. “So long as all chapters are going with this program, it’ll [make] everyone more focused, more together and our Fraternity will only grow for the better,” he explains.

CHAPTER UPDATES

Alabama Iota Iota

Our chapter enjoyed another semester of growth and success on campus. Members hold leadership positions across campus, and we hoped the fall semester would mark our ninth semester in a row with a GPA above the all-men’s average. We have made such an impact on campus that university president Stewart Bell had a ceremony at our house on Aug. 31, 2017, to congratulate our brothers on their successes. We looked forward to initiating what we hoped would be the largest pledge class on our campus this November — and look forward to their continued growth of our chapter’s legacy.

~Jordan Levy, 2018

Albion Alpha Pi

Our brothers were able to move back into the chapter house during the fall semester after a two-year hiatus. As of this writing, we had 28 men living in the house, including our most recent nine-member pledge class. The fall also marked the 51st anniversary of the chapter house. We planned to have a celebration in conjunction with our school’s Homecoming on Oct. 20 to honor those who made our moving back into the house possible. Recruitment was underway, as we hoped to have more members living in the chapter house.

~Matthew Lowes, 2018

Alma Theta Nu

Our chapter anticipated hosting a Mission 365 recruitment training program during the fall, in order to expand on our recruitment successes from the previous year. We were implementing the strategic visioning plan that we created at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, through which we hoped to improve external relations, brotherhood participation and philanthropic goals. We also hoped to maintain a high GPA as a chapter, and to increase our previous semester’s marks by 0.25 points. Doing so would likely give our chapter the highest fraternity GPA on campus.

Summer 2017 was an eventful time for our chapter. Sweetheart Kellyn McMullan was selected as a finalist for the International Sweetheart position. She traveled to Providence, Rhode Island, for the 81st Grand Chapter, where the voting for the role took place. Although she was not crowned

International Sweetheart, she could not have represented us any better. We also had the opportunity to send four of our brothers to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit. As of this writing, we were excited for the fall semester and all of the opportunities we might have.

~John Wade, 2019

Baylor Eta Omega

As of this writing, our chapter had gotten off to a strong start during the fall semester by recruiting a pledge class of eight men. Along with this, our chapter was in the middle of its Derby Days philanthropic event at Baylor. As of Sept. 25 we had secured $13,600 in donations from local businesses and our network of alumni, and we expected to break into the $20K Club with the addition of T-shirt sales and other fundraising. Finally, we began preparing for spring recruitment, and hoped to land another solid class of brothers.

~Brady Dunlop, 2020

Bentley Lambda Upsilon

Our chapter enjoyed a memorable semester this past spring, reaching some notable milestones. We initiated one of the largest classes of new brothers in chapter history, and achieved the highest GPA of any fraternity on campus. Our initiation was enjoyed by all, and we thank the alumni who attended and showed their support. Our brothers remained involved on campus by holding leadership positions in a variety of clubs and organizations. We looked forward to hosting our alumni for Homecoming on Sept. 23, as well as staging a successful recruitment and Derby Days philanthropic event from Sept. 25 to 30.

~Thomas Gaffney, 2018

Binghamton Mu Gamma

Our chapter had a strong start to the fall 2017 semester. Our recruitment week was a success, as we met many new potential brothers. As of this writing, our biggest upcoming event was our inaugural Derby Days philanthropic event from Sept. 24 to 30, which was to consist of many events like Sign a Sig and Pie a Sig Chi, as well as field day competitions to engage with sorority members and raise money to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Our chapter also raised money to support one of our brothers competing in Alpha Epsilon Phi’s Greek God philanthropic event on Oct. 7.

~Steven Reddan, 2018

Birmingham-Southern Chi Chi

Our chapter is proud to announce that as of Sept. 17, 2017, 13 men had chosen to pledge Sigma Chi at Birmingham-Southern College. Our recruitment chairmen, Stewart Fowler, 2019 ; Rich Yancey, 2019 ; and Taylor Carson, 2019 , did an excellent job. Our brothers were proud to have the responsibility of leading these pledges through the Preparation for Brotherhood program so that they may learn the meaning of Sigma Chi. We are optimistic that they will do so and wear the White Cross proudly.

~Faaiz Saad, 2018

Boise State Lambda Xi

Our brothers had a great summer full of travel, brotherhood and new experiences. This fall, we got right back into the swing of things, giving 20 bids following one of our largest fall recruitment periods yet. As football season began, we took advantage of our tailgate spot, building brotherhood through grilling burgers and watching the school’s football team. With big things ahead of us this semester, we looked forward to many social events, formals and retreats and, as always, helping each other become better men.

~Adam Mazor, 2019

Bowling Green Delta Kappa

Our chapter was excited to be holding its secondannual fall fundraiser, Sigtoberfest, on Oct. 27. Our brothers had a great time putting this fundraiser on last year and could not wait to get the community and campus involved in it again this year. This year’s event was to feature new T-shirts, new ideas and great company benefiting a phenomenal cause. We planned to exceed the results of last year’s event and were eager to get things started.

~Brendan Brichmann, 2019

Bradley Delta Rho

This fall, our chapter welcomed a pledge class of 31 members, which represents the secondhighest figure on campus. Under the guidance of Magister William Kennedy, 2019 , the chapter continued to improve its implementation of the Preparation for Brotherhood program. Elsewhere, the chapter volunteered at the Maui Jim Maka Maka 3-Mile Race on Aug. 17 and helped freshmen on move-in day. Finally, the chapter teamed with the Fraternity’s Illinois Wesleyan chapter to plant two bushes at the Joseph Cookman Nate Memorial Monument in Bloomington, Illinois, for its Merlin Olsen Day of Service project.

~Kyle Job, 2019

Bridgewater State Theta Zeta

The chapter is happy to announce that we have once again been fully recognized by our university. With this year approaching, we were striving to have a smooth reintegration back into campus life. We hoped to increase our fundraising and community service efforts to show Bridgewater State who we truly are. This past summer, we received our fourth consecutive Peterson Significant Chapter Award, and we expect to win many more in the coming years.

~Brian Kretschmar, 2020

British Columbia-Simon Fraser Delta Omicron

After a beautiful summer, the return of Vancouver’s unpredictable weather meant the start of another school year for our brothers. Our chapter always strives to make a positive impact on our community, and this year is no exception, as the number of brothers holding leadership positions in campus organizations has increased. Alim Lakhiyalov, 2018 , became the Interfraternity Council (IFC) vice president of finance, and three out of seven IFC executive board positions belong to our members. We also congratulated Saif Akkad, 2018 , and Jesse Grist, 2017, for having started medical school in September.

~Thibault De Wit, 2019

Brown Beta Nu

The fall semester brought with it reform and rebuilding for our chapter. After a membership review and some other incidents last academic year, much of the active membership was suspended. Therefore, this year we began working on and revamping recruitment for the chapter so that there are real and practical best practices going forward, both ritually and organizationally. Unrelated, but just as important, our fundraising to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute was going well, and we hoped to keep up that momentum throughout the year to help be the generation to end cancer.

~Jacob Ihnen, 2018

Bryant Lambda Eta

This year has brought continued success for our chapter. Not only did we earn a Peterson Significant Chapter Award at the 2017 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, but our chapter was named both fraternity of the year and philanthropy of the year on campus as well. We looked forward to working with our new Grand Praetor Phil Genereux, RHODE ISLAND 1993 , and would like to thank our former Grand Praetor, Order of Constantine Sig Keith Moody, CONNECTICUT 1989 , for everything he has done for us. We were excited to welcome our newest members and continue to grow as brothers.

~Jesse Calder, 2019

Bucknell Kappa

Our chapter had a successful summer, starting with being awarded our third Peterson Significant Chapter Award in the past four years at the 2017 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW).

This award is a testament to the hard work we put into our chapter, internally and on campus. We had a good turnout at Balfour LTW, as we learned a lot from other chapters along with developing strategies to bring back to campus. Our recruitment was a success, as we took a class of 27 new pledges. The Preparation for Brotherhood program was underway, as the pledges were immersed in and dedicated to this process.

~Samuel Stager, 2018

Butler Rho

Our chapter experienced a strong and progressive semester this fall. Not only were we able to achieve our highest GPA as a chapter in over 10 years, but we also increased our members’ service-hours requirement to ensure that our brothers are bettering their campus and community. Our public relations on campus improved, and our chapter’s Instagram account reached 1,000 followers. As we planned our Hog Roast and Stogies and Stories recruitment events, we hoped to find more men of good character who will continue to make our chapter a respected one on campus.

~Scott Hevel, 2019

Cal. Poly.-Pomona Theta Sigma

The chapter added many new items to the old chapter house during the 2017 winter quarter. A new white fence was put in by the brothers living in the house, along with the financial help of Tyler Panse, 1986 . Our most recently initiated pledge class enjoyed their first quarter as active members and were able to get a lot done for the Fraternity. The chapter once again was able to raise more than $30,000 toward cancer research during our Derby Days philanthropic event week. This year marked the record for the most money raised in our chapter’s history.

~Christian Miller, 2020

Cal. State-Fresno Epsilon Eta

Our chapter was looking forward to the new year. We were in the process of preparing for recruitment week, and looked forward to meeting potential new members who hold themselves to the same set of values and beliefs as true Sigma Chis. This past summer, our chapter had the honor of receiving a Peterson Significant Chapter Award at the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. It was a proud moment for the chapter and we continue to find ways to improve our house each and every year.

~Jameson Ruppel, 2018

Cal. State-Long Beach Eta Beta

Our brothers have been working on all aspects of the chapter. Four brothers have worked hard to become the representatives of four women’s fraternities and sororities on campus — Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Kappa. We were doing great in sports and in sorority philanthropic events, placing first in Zeta Tau Alpha’s Think Pink week, as well as placing second in the Interfraternity Council’s volleyball league. Our next goal was raising money to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute; we’ve raised more than $20,000 over the past two years, and we aimed to surpass that mark this year.

~Brian Powell, 2019

Cal. State-Northridge Zeta Xi

The chapter was filled with determination for another year full of successes. At the end of the previous scholastic year, the chapter received the highest GPA for spring 2017 among all Interfraternity Council fraternities and was voted “Best Fraternity” in the campus newsletter by the Cal. State-Northridge students. After our fall recruitment week, Magister David Dinwiddie, 2018 , was eager to guide the potential new members and show them the ways of the White Cross. Consul Dominic Scaglione, 2018 , likewise hoped to lead the chapter toward a memorable year.

~Mathew Quintero, 2020

Cal. State-San Marcos Mu Beta

The brothers of our chapter enjoyed a prosperous year, as we received the Legion of Honor Award and our second consecutive Peterson Significant Chapter Award at the 2017 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, and sent four brothers to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit. We initiated another group of high-minded men with our Delta class. Nick Lavely, 2019 , was working toward another successful Derby Days philanthropic event week, in which we hoped to be inducted for the third straight year into the $20K Club for our fundraising to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We foresaw another successful semester as our recently installed chapter continued to grow.

~Jared Calloway, 2020

California-Berkeley Alpha Beta

Our chapter looked to continue off of a strong academic and philanthropic year. Magister Alec Newcomb, 2019 , had begun guiding nine men in their journeys to learn about the Fraternity. Our chapter’s GPA remained above the university average, and we kicked off our philanthropic efforts for the year with the Merlin Olsen Day of Service on Sept. 15, as brothers, pledges and members of nearby sororities worked together to clean up nearby Strawberry Creek. We were excited for the upcoming year, as we strengthen our bonds with one another.

~Sahil Sheth, 2020

California-Davis Theta Omicron

Our chapter had a tremendous start to the winter quarter, as we recruited 12 men to one of the most accomplished and diverse pledge classes our chapter has seen. Our brotherhood was as strong as ever, with unique events and our annual winter philanthropic event, Puppy Love, on Nov. 11, which we expected to be a success in terms of raising funds to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We continued to present ourselves as positive role models and leaders in our community, while continuing to support various philanthropic causes around campus.

~Adam Armienta, 2019

California-Irvine Eta Sigma

At the time of this writing, the fall quarter was just around the corner for our chapter, and we were expecting another successful recruitment period and school year. Our chapter had its annual advance planning retreat on Sept. 9 and 10, and we had already made tremendous leaps to improve our chapter and community before the school year started. Community service was a key aspect that our chapter needed to improve, so we created a committee dedicated to this task. We also revamped our recruitment events to make them more fun and to attract more potential brothers.

~Marco De La Cruz, 2020

California-Merced Lambda Delta

This past summer, we had five brothers attend the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop and were humbled to receive a Peterson Significant Chapter Award. We were excited to implement the action plan that we devised there, and had high expectations for this year. As of this writing, we had received nine pledges for the fall semester. Last semester, we were honored to have the highest cumulative GPA, 3.06, out of all Greek-letter social organizations on campus. One of our goals was to repeat this achievement this semester through values-based learning practices and holding each other accountable.

~Dakota Diaz, 2018

California-San Diego Iota Chi

Our chapter planned to host its fourth-annual career summit on Nov. 18, 2017, bringing undergraduates from our school together with Sigma Chi alumni for an educational and inspirational event. The chapter continued its mission to enrich the lives of our members and the community at large through our service events, which included plans for an expansion to our Derby Days philanthropic event programming, through which we hoped to surpass last year’s total of raising more than $30,000. Our brothers recommitted themselves to scholarship, and had the top Interfraternity Council chapter GPA in their sights for this academic year.

~Ian Stafford, 2019

California–Santa Barbara Zeta Kappa

Our chapter was proud to have sent seven brothers to this past summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop to represent us as a Thomas Cowan Bell Chapter. We were focused and ready to move into our first full year after a 10-year absence from being an active chapter. We were equally proud to have already taken back the honor of having the highest GPA of all fraternities on campus at the University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB). Given that U.S. News and World Report ranked UCSB as the No. 8 public university for 2018, we saw this as a further indication of Sigma Chi’s renewed strength at our school.

~Spencer Dell, 2018

Case Western Beta Eta

Over the summer, our chapter was able to raise enough money to buy new Ritual regalia, thanks to the support of our generous alumni. We were all very excited about this new purchase and were very thankful to all of the brothers who made it happen. In addition to new regalia, we are pleased to announce that this semester our chapter welcomed 12 new pledges. The chapter has also welcomed Brian Eckert, 2019 , who transferred from Valparaiso University and joined our ranks. As of this writing, we also planned to commence our Derby Days philanthropic event on Sept. 25.

~Matty Baratz, 2020

Centre Zeta Zeta

At the Centre College chapter, the Fraternity’s Ritual and its principles provide the ideals of excellence we all seek to reach. We choose to lead our campus and community together for the greater good. We have made a renewed commitment to strengthen our service efforts and to never become complacent or staid with inaction in the face of new challenges, difficult conversations or our individual fears as we seek a better version of ourselves.

~Bailey Spade, 2019

Charleston Iota Epsilon

Our chapter experienced a fantastic 2016 to 2017 academic year. Our Derby Days philanthropic event raised more than $15,000 to help YESCarolina and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Members also participated in downtown street cleanups throughout the year. As of this writing, the chapter had 54 members. Our most recent pledge class had 19 members, which is consistent with past years. Garret Hill, 2018 , and Hank Seltman, 2019 , are president and treasurer of the Interfraternity Council, respectively. The chapter was looking forward to upcoming events this semester, such as a charity beach volleyball tournament and community service event.

~Sean Harrington, 2019

Cincinnati Zeta Psi

Our brothers had the opportunity once again this past summer to attend the chapter’s annual service trip to Haiti from Aug. 6 to 14. In addition to raising $2,900 for the trip, our brothers were able to help build home foundations for Haitian people. In addition, we were excited to roll out the biggest Derby Days philanthropic event week in our history from Oct. 1 to 6. Our goal of joining the Huntsman Cancer Foundation’s 50K Club was being executed by Derby Days chairmen Sam Burchell, 2019 , and Nick Dinunzio, 2019 . We had a handful of new and exciting events planned for the fun-filled week.

~Michael Musilli, 2020

Clarion Theta Alpha

Our chapter had a productive fall semester. We participated in our annual community service project of helping the Clarion, Pennsylvania, chamber of commerce prepare for its Autumn Leaf Festival on Sept. 30. We organized a speaker on campus to talk to the student body about suicide awareness. We also sold wristbands to raise money for the Semicolon Project, which benefits mental health and suicide prevention efforts. We volunteered to help with a local YMCA’s Halloween party for children, and we hosted a Homecoming cookout for our alumni on Oct. 6, featuring a live band.

~Joseph Lillard, 2018

Clarkson Iota Zeta

Our brothers enjoyed an action-packed summer. Many of them completed internships within their field of study, while others returned to summer jobs in their hometowns. A few brothers attended the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit and the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop and told us about their amazing experiences. As of this writing, we were preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event to be held during the last week of September. We were also excited to be pledging five men to our Fraternity this fall.

~Nathan Guinta, 2019

A College in Clemson, South Carolina Eta

Psi

Our chapter celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. The brothers continued to find opportunities on campus in various clubs, student government, philanthropy and many more individually beneficial commitments in our area. Our chapter was a key player in the Samapalooza fundraising event in memory of Samuel Cadden, 2013 , this past spring to help build a student chapel. The chapter was also pleased to have initiated nine brothers in the spring, and had 12 prospective brothers this semester. At the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, our chapter received a James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award.

~William Grattan, 2018

College of Idaho Kappa Lambda

This year, we had various members holding residence life positions; some holding president positions in clubs such as Idaho Young Democrats, gun club and the Cabaret improvisational comedy club; and many others being active members on campus. Sigma Chi has historically held one of the largest philanthropic events at our school with Derby Days. Our brothers also welcomed back Significant Sig Robert Hoover, Ph.D., ARIZONA STATE 1966 , who is serving as the College of Idaho’s interim president.

~Andres Maldonado, 2018

A College in Storrs, Connecticut

Gamma Omega

As of this writing, our chapter was excited for the fall semester. We extended 21 bids to potential new members and received 21 acceptances. We were excited for the Preparation for Brotherhood program to begin. The chapter had also begun the process of once again being a recognized student organization on campus, and we hoped to learn the results of our efforts by end of the fall semester. We felt that exciting times were ahead for the chapter, and we could not thank the rest of the chapters and Headquarters enough for their continued support.

~Andrew Watson, 2018

Colorado State Beta Tau

Our chapter was coming off a great spring semester. After enduring a membership review in the fall, we took over the chapter and made it our own. We achieved a 2.93 chapter GPA, which put us close to the all-university average of 2.95 and above the all-men’s average of 2.84. Recruitment-wise, we initiated a pledge class of nine men. As of this writing, we had already garnered a fall pledge class of 16. We look forward to growing in size, pursuing a chapter facility and advancing the values of Sigma Chi in our community in Fort Collins, Colorado.

~Charles Rand, 2019

Cornell Alpha Phi

Our brothers were thrilled to be back together in Ithaca, New York. Samuel Kent, 2020, articulated his enthusiasm in saying, “I’m really excited to spend this semester with my brothers. I’m especially looking forward to watching the guys in the house play their first home football game of the season.” Brothers were also eager to give back to the community through philanthropy. Philanthropy chairman Samuel Royce, 2020 , noted, “One of the most rewarding aspects of being a brother at Sigma Chi is the unique opportunity to give back to the community.”

~Stefan Antonsson, 2019

Cumberland Nu

For upholding the ideals of Sigma Chi, we were awarded this past semester with the Presidents Cup at our school’s formal for Greek-letter organizations. It is the highest award given to a Greek-letter organization at our school. Our GPA has risen due to the outstanding group of men we initiated last year, doubling our chapter size. Being a very small school, we have close connections with our surrounding community and spend much time providing assistance to our neighbors. This year, we intended to raise our academic standards and maintain a strong status on campus, while humbly serving those around us.

~Bryson Storie, 2019

Dalhousie-St. Mary’s Gamma Rho

Following a summer full of major Sigma Chi events, we were ready to tackle the upcoming semester. As of this writing, our brothers were in the middle of their fall recruitment period and would soon begin transitioning their attention to our fall pledge class. We expected the fall months to bring our annual Thanksgiving charity event, and our yearly fundraiser for Victim Services of Nova Scotia. We thank the dedicated alumni serving on our chapter’s house corporation and in the Halifax Alumni Chapter for their continued support of fundraising events for the chapter.

~Shayn Power, 2016

Denison Mu

Our chapter graduated a large class of seniors in 2016 who led the chapter with favor and distinction. As we immersed ourselves in the 2017 academic year, we were poised to recruit new brothers who we believe exemplify the qualities in The Jordan Standard, and who we hoped would enrich our chapter with their temperaments, talents and convictions. We were busy supporting our brothers on the soccer and football teams, planning for recruitment and upholding our philanthropic obligations to the sororities and women’s fraternities on campus.

~Alexander Guckien, 2020

DePauw Xi

Our chapter began the fall semester with a rejuvenating spirit and no lack of enthusiasm. A new program known as Greek Row was being initiated this year, thanks to the invention of a brother at Purdue University, to aid in our next semester’s recruitment and overall house involvement in the process. Philanthropy was kicking off as well, as our chapter prepared for a campus-wide Greek Week involving a variety of activities that will combine efforts of all of the other Greek-letter organizations at DePauw, including a dance-off. We felt that this fall semester was bound to be a great one.

~Kyle Munz, 2020

Drake Theta Gamma

The chapter came into the year ready to achieve success, as its members had successful sessions at both the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop and the annual chapter retreat during the summer. Recently, we had celebrated the eight new pledges we welcomed into the chapter following spring recruitment. Our focus then turned to holding a successful Derby Days philanthropic event, which we expected to host in mid-October. We were excited for the upcoming year and could not wait to see everything our chapter would accomplish.

~Christian Higgins, 2018

East Tennessee Zeta Omega

We finished the spring 2017 semester by winning the Most Improved Chapter of the Year award from East Tennessee State University. This was followed by winning a James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award at the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. These awards increased our momentum as we began the fall semester. We expected a great turnout from our alumni at our annual golf tournament on June 10, and also a great turnout during the alumni-undergraduate workday on Aug. 12 to prepare our house for fall recruitment. We hoped to recruit a pledge class of around 20 men, and looked forward to keeping our momentum going throughout the year.

~Gunnison Walker, 2019

Eastern Illinois Eta Mu

The spring semester was one that will not be soon forgotten by the brothers of our chapter. We achieved our highest GPA in recent memory, and also finished with the highest GPA of any fraternity on campus. We enjoyed countless good times together as brothers, and held our most successful function of the year in April to celebrate our prosperous year. We looked to carry our success into the fall semester as we prepared for our Derby Days philanthropic event from Oct. 1 to 6, Homecoming on Oct. 21 and welcoming a new fall pledge class to our brotherhood.

~Jonathan Bullock, 2019

Elon Theta Omega

The 2017 fall semester got off to a great start and it was only up from there. At the time of this writing, our chapter had extended bids to four men who could grow into the future leaders of the Fraternity. As the year got into full swing, we were without some of our junior class members as they took advantage of study abroad opportunities, learning and immersing themselves into other cultures. This year, we hoped to exceed all expectations and to raise our chapter GPA as well as our campus presence.

~Kyle Barber, 2018

Embry-Riddle (Daytona Beach) Eta Iota

It was an eventful year for our chapter in Daytona Beach, Florida. We achieved a personal best in philanthropy by reaching the 20K Club during the 2016 to 2017 academic year, we sent three brothers to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit, we successfully initiated two outstanding pledge classes and we got a new roof for our house — right before we got a visit from Hurricane Irma in September 2017. During the upcoming months, we intend on continuing our success in philanthropy and recruitment.

~Daniel Juchtman, 2019

Embry-Riddle (Prescott) Kappa Phi

The brothers of our chapter overcame many challenges during the spring 2017 semester; however, they persevered and grew stronger than ever. With steady leadership, a renewed vision and more than 50 brothers and eight pledges, we were prepared to push forward this semester. Additionally, from the flight line to our student government, our brothers were actively involved on campus while maintaining a cumulative GPA above 3.0. We expected to participate in a city cleanup day with all of the other Greek-letter organizations on campus this semester. We looked forward to our continued growth and development.

~Zachary Ontiveros, 2020

Emory Beta Chi

This fall, our chapter continued to uphold its traditions and values with brotherhood events and an active on-campus presence. Consul Tommy Baumgartner, 2019 , guided us with passionate leadership through the first month of the semester and our executive board has been a strong supporting cast to help him adjust to his new position. The Emory men’s soccer team had eight brothers who were leading the team to a successful first half of the season, as they hoped to make a run into the playoffs.

~Baumgartner

Fairleigh Dickinson Iota Kappa

Returning after yet another successful trip to the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, our chapter set many new goals. At the time of this writing, we had finished our recruitment process and were excited to announce that three undergraduates had accepted bids to begin the Preparation for Brotherhood program. The chapter was focusing its attention on its Derby Days philanthropic event and had set the goal of reaching the Huntsman Cancer Foundation’s 20K Club. The chapter was working diligently to improve alumni relations, as we hosted a successful alumni tailgate prior to our school’s first home football game on Sept. 16.

~Matthew Lane, 2017

Florida Gamma Theta

Our chapter enjoyed another successful semester this past spring. The true meaning of Sigma Chi was exemplified by our members’ continued dedication to performing charitable work for our community. Our brotherhood remains involved with many of the university organizations, athletic teams, student government and other campus activities. Our chapter was honored to be awarded a Peterson Significant Chapter Award for the second year in a row at the 2017 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. As of this writing, we were excited to find our next class of brothers, and to celebrate the chapter’s 93rd anniversary on Oct. 4.

~Matthew Herman, 2019

Florida Atlantic Lambda Tau

Our chapter had a fantastic spring 2016 semester. We initiated six men, made it into the Huntsman Cancer Foundation’s 20K Club after hosting a successful Derby Days philanthropic event and contributed more community service hours than any fraternity at our school. We had brothers involved with Greek ambassadors, Interfraternity Council (IFC) ambassadors, engineering clubs and more. Brothers also represented us on the hockey team and the football team. We also had a brother who was the vice president of philanthropy on IFC. We won our first Peterson Significant Chapter Award this year, and we looked forward to another great year!

~Tyler Bonney, 2018

Florida Gulf Coast Lambda Zeta

These past few months have been exceptional for our chapter. From sending two brothers to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit to winning a Peterson Significant Chapter Award as well as receiving the honor of entering the Huntsman Cancer Foundation’s 20K Club, we have thrived in every way possible. We intended to raise $30,000 through our Derby Days philanthropic event held from Nov. 7 to 10, which started with a kickoff concert featuring the band Lost Kings. As we continued to grow, we remained humble by offering our help to the victims of Hurricane Irma and remembering that service is a core foundation of Sigma Chi.

~Conor McNally, 2019

Florida Southern Epsilon Sigma

Our brothers enjoyed a great semester this past spring. Our biggest accomplishment, by a landslide, was winning our first Peterson Significant Chapter Award since 1994 at the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. This was also our chapter’s first Gold Peterson, and we were happy we could make our alumni happy with our hard work. We also upgraded our chapter room this past summer thanks to generous contributions from our alumni. Due to Hurricane Irma, our recruitment week was pushed back, but we could not wait to welcome all of our new pledges for our fall class.

~Robert MacIntyre, 2019

Fort Hays Zeta Tau

Our brothers could not have been more excited for the upcoming semester. Our pledge class of 19 men was the largest in our chapter’s history. This was also the last semester that we would spend in our old chapter house, as plans for a new house were well underway. We were planning to host several activities involving alumni, so that the memories of the old house could be preserved. There was also an addition of a house dog named Scobey. We hoped that we could continue our successes.

~Jon Beck, 2019

Furman Iota Nu

Our chapter was off to an excellent start this school year. This past summer, six of our brothers traveled to Bowling Green, Ohio, to attend the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. At this meeting, we determined our main goals for the year and received our third straight Peterson Significant Chapter Award. For this year, we focused on enhancing our brotherhood, improving our chapter GPA, securing a quality spring pledge class and continuing our philanthropic work while raising $20,000 to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Overall, we were looking forward to a great year.

~Clayton Moyer, 2019

George Mason Iota Xi

This fall, our chapter was able to take part in its first tabling session during the university’s formal recruitment in more than 10 years. Our brothers were very excited to finally be able to get the word out about what Sigma Chi can offer. Thanks to that tabling session we hosted, our pledge class was one of the largest we have had in recent years, totaling 13 pledges. We could not wait to see what the rest of the school year had in store, and we looked forward to congratulating our 13 new brothers following their initiation in November.

~Andrew McDowell, 2019

Georgia Delta

Our chapter was excited and grateful for another year in Athens, Georgia. Entering our fourth year in our new downtown chapter house location, we had 28 brothers of the fall 2016 pledge class living in the house along with our Consul John Showfety, 2018 , and Pro Consul Dave DeLany, 2018 . As for our fall 2017 pledge class, we had 38 pledges participating in the Preparation for Brotherhood program. Also, we increased our fundraising goal to $30,000 for this year. We were confident that we would reach our goal, and hopeful we would exceed it.

~Showfety

Georgia Southern Eta Zeta

This past spring, our chapter had an outstanding semester, being recognized as the top fundraising chapter in the Fraternity when we raised $75,000 to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Continuing into the fall, after Hurricane Irma ran its course through Statesboro, Georgia, recruitment was postponed one week. After the long break, our brothers were happy to give 35 bids to 35 great potential new members. The chapter continued to grow and strive for greatness in all aspects of its operations, and hoped to have another successful year academically, socially and philanthropically.

~Brandon Nordberg, 2019

Georgia Southwestern Eta Theta

We had a successful recruitment period this fall. We led all fraternities at Georgia Southwestern University in number of bids accepted for the second consecutive year. In addition, we were forming a relationship with a local retirement home where we plan to volunteer. We also planned to do more work in our community, implement programs that will raise our chapter GPA and have brotherhood events to strengthen our relationships with one another.

An Historic Purpose

An PurposeHistoric

In 1872, the Fraternity created the first Grand Officer role, that of the Grand Historian. The position was instituted with a specific task in mind.

On Dec. 27, 1872, the Fraternity, then having attained the age of 17 years and six months, with 1,070 initiates, created the role of the first Grand Officer – the Grand Historian. At the ninth Grand Chapter at the Neil House in Columbus, Ohio, leaders decided by due discussion and resolution that the time had come when a history of Sigma Chi should be written.

On motion, Harry St. John Dixon, VIRGINIA and CONSTANTINE 1861 , was elected the first Grand Historian on the basis that he was the historical mind of the Fraternity, coupled with his possession of the patience necessary to start without chart or pattern, without guidance or precedent, a written history of the organization. No other fraternity is said to have had undertaken such a task at that time.

Dixon took the responsibility of creating a history without anticipation or expectation of a publishing date. What he compiled became the basis for the history section in the 1890 monumental volume, The Catalogue and History of Sigma Chi, which also included a directory of chapters and members.

Dixon served in his role for two years, and Charles Wightman, NORTHWESTERN 1885 , succeeded him, holding the position from 1884 to 1890. When Wightman was in office, Fraternity leaders created the next Grand Officer role, and in 1882, John McMillin, DEPAUW 1876 , became the first Grand Consul.

Over the years, the Grand Historian has taken an active role within the organization, and can be described as a teacher, writer, collector, preservationist and most importantly, a link between Sigma Chi’s storied past and today. Since the inception of the office, there have been 23 Grand Historians. To contrast that, there have been 70 Grand Consuls.

While Grand Historians are elected to two-year terms, some of them have served successive terms, making the role part of their life’s work. The longest serving Grand Historian was 19th Grand Historian, Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973 , who held the role for 18 years. Carlson is also an Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig, and was the Fraternity’s 62nd Grand Consul. Other notables are 13th Grand Historian and ninth Grand Consul Joseph Nate, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1890, who had the role for 12 years, and 17th Grand Historian and Order of Constantine Sig Robert Collett, DENISON 1914 , who was in it for 16 years. Each of these three Grand Historians has written key parts of the Fraternity’s story, and contributed to the collective understanding of what it means to be a Sigma Chi.

From Nate’s History of the Sigma Chi Fraternity: 1855-1930, to Collett’s The Centennial History of Sigma Chi: 1855-1955, to Carlson’s The History of the Sigma Chi Fraternity: 1955-1980, these volumes take the reader through the important events of the specific time periods.

The historical volumes began with Nate. At the 29th Grand Chapter in 1909 in Chicago, the Fraternity decided that a comprehensive history of the organization was needed. Nate was appointed to lead the project and write the history. The plan was to publish the history from 1855 to 1930 in seven volumes, each one dedicated to a Founder. In 1925, the first volume was released. Three other volumes followed, with the last being published in 1931. Nate’s death in 1933 saw the project come to an end. However, the first four volumes would have never come to fruition without his hard work and dedication to the task. Nate sacrificed his own time and treasure to make the project happen, and now the books he wrote are prized possessions of many brothers.

The archives within Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters contain the unfinished manuscripts of Nate’s volumes five and six. As 22nd Grand Historian, I am finishing volume five, to be published next year.

While I have old Grand Chapter minutes and documents within Sigma Chi’s archives to use when I write the volume, I also have tools available to me for other purposes that Nate and Collett could have never imagined. Reading about the Fraternity’s past in the above-mentioned history books is one thing, but with the presence of Facebook and other social media sites, information about interesting historical tidbits can be researched, posted and read on an almost-daily basis. As of October 2017, the Fraternity’s Facebook history group included over 5,700 members and is growing every day, signaling the interest in learning about Sigma Chi’s past. This desire has also been evidenced with the number of visitors seen at the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi at International

Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. On Feb. 20, 2014, members of the Sigma Chi Foundation’s museum renovation committee, which included all of the living Grand Historians — plus myself, the to-be 22nd Grand Historian — began to lay out the vision of what a museum dedicated to the organization’s history could look like. What was born was a stateof-the-art museum.

What is needed now is the same dedication to build a place to properly house and preserve the Fraternity’s archives, which include letters written by the Founders, early hand-drawn charters and meeting minute books of early chapters. These items are a few of the treasures in need of preservation. The hope is that they will be housed in the to-be built Douglas R. Carlson Sigma Chi Archives and Center for Advanced Studies.

Church gave an overview of how the Fraternity’s vision and mission statements were created. Work was done to create a single vision for the Fraternity and Foundation. It is: “To be the preeminent leadership and character development brotherhood benefiting our members throughout life.”

Church explained the need to develop an operational mission statement and presented it as: “To develop values-based leaders committed to the betterment of character, campus and community.” He explained the need for a development mission and stated it as: “To secure financial resources and provide faithful stewardship in support of Sigma Chi.”

Ursillo presented the Journey overview,

which provides the framework for the Fraternity’s learning continuum concept. He stated that a committee is being appointed to review the continuum, the objective of which is building metrics into all current and future programs. He added that the cost of delivering four of the leadership programs is $10,000 to $15,000 each.

Ursillo stated the core of the continuum will be centered around creating a central leadership model, and presented a potential concept. He stated the deadline for a finalized model is Sept. 29, 2017, and the estimated cost for the 2017 to 2018 fiscal year to review and develop the continuum is $140,000. Discussion followed.

Geddings said the main focuses for the alumni involvement task force are: expanding alumni roles in the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program and Ritual for Life (R4L) program, revitalizing alumni chapters, developing alumni curriculum in Sigma Chi U, communicating opportunities for alumni involvement at all levels of the Fraternity and celebrating individual alumni involvement.

Geddings stated that revitalizing alumni chapters will be a major undertaking, and the Grand Trustees have taken on the goal of helping to create 20 new alumni chapters. Discussion followed.

Schuyler and Greenberg stated that there needs to be personalized outreach to our members and a better way to know where our alumni are and how members and volunteers can connect with them. Discussion continued.

Sanderson reviewed his task force’s plan to optimize operations and to align the Fraternity and Foundation by exploring outsourcing services, eliminating redundancy and creating dashboards to measure efficiencies. Discussion followed.

Greenberg stated there is a lack of Ritual engagement with members. He said the latest Ritual update created the perfect platform for the organization to create Ritual-based programming.

His taskforce is focused on creating a responsibility and accountability retreat, as well as a model judicial board for chapters that utilizes restorative justice measures. Discussion followed.

Goodroe stated that the marketing task force has been working to create a joint communications platform that will support the one voice strategy. He reported that Woods and Church have committed themselves to this goal. He explained that historically the Fraternity and Foundation have been operating communications separately, but in order to achieve our goals, we need to have a consultant provide recommendations on how to join those efforts.

He stated that the planned implementation for the joint communication platform is June 1, 2018. Discussion followed.

Woods stated that his task force has begun working on its initiatives, and gave an overview of what the consulting firm has identified as the keys to success. He said they are having: the right case to support, the right people to give and the right catalyst for support. He said the Foundation is getting close to working on a level that is competitive with best-industry standards and is focusing on setting better goals and simplifying ways for members to give. He said they are creating a culture of giving back, and will host the inaugural Celebration of Giving Back Luncheon at the 81st Grand Chapter in Providence, Rhode Island, in June.

Woods stated the other main objective is to provide more than $3 million in scholarships in a year, building a $100 million reserve and optimizing non-charitable revenue for Sigma Chi. Discussion followed.

Ursillomovedtoendorsethereportof thejointstrategicplanaspresented. Beauchampseconded.The motion carried unanimously.

Woods said that Cogdal and his team were to present a model to speed the implementation of Sigma Chi U. Cogdal explained his team is operating under model No. 1, which has one full-time employee and two part-time employees to manage Sigma Chi U. He stated that operating under this model makes implementation daunting when paired with system administration. Model No. 2 would include two full-time employees and two part-time employees next year, which would ensure four programs get done instead of three. Model No. 3 would include three full-time employees and one part-time employee and would ensure five programs are added to Sigma Chi U within the next fiscal year. The net difference would be a $100,000 increase for the model. Model No. 4 would include four full-time employees and one part-time employee, with one of the full-time employees being a temporary

two-year employee. A $200,000 increase would be needed for this model. Discussion followed.

He suggested that chapters select the dates on which they could host programs while at Balfour LTW, and that the Strategic Visioning process be completed at the workshop. The program model would have a one-year pilot and be fully implemented in 2019 to 2020. Discussion followed.

Biller reviewed his subcommittee’s work on facilitator training and engagement. He explained that each Fraternity program has its own facilitator pool, resulting in regional gaps and more facilitations. He explained the subcommittee’s goal is to have one pool of facilitators who are

trained in multiple programs and deployed regularly. He then reviewed feedback from a survey designed to measure facilitator engagement. Discussion followed.

Biller presented a model where the Fraternity would conduct three to four regional trainings for which facilitators would pay a portion of the costs associated and be trained in one or two programs. The goal is to have 240 facilitators trained in 2018 to 2019. Discussion followed.

Significant Contributions

Sixty-second Grand Consul Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973, will be remembered for his work to connect members to the Fraternity’s past and its ideals.

Story by Ryan Rogers, WINDSOR 2005

by Jeff Lee, WILFRID LAURIER 2003

In the early 1970s, Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973 , spent the spring break of his junior year at Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. It was the first of what became many 400-mile trips from Minneapolis to Headquarters over the next two years for the man who would ultimately become 19th Grand Historian, Grand Pro Consul and 62nd Grand Consul.

Carlson entered the Chapter Eternal on Aug. 29, 2017, after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

“[Doug would] show up at Headquarters [as an undergraduate for] two out of every four weekends, and he would just spend the weekends downstairs locked in the Ritual closet, going through old historical documents,” says Order of Constantine Sig Bob Schock, NORTHERN ARIZONA 1973 , who met Carlson in June 1973 when Schock was an assistant executive secretary at Headquarters.

“He’d painstakingly go through stuff … he had that mentality of being a digger,” says Schock.

The past enthralled Carlson and he was absorbed in Sigma Chi and its Ritual. After being granted access to Headquarters’ archives, he began asking, ‘How did the Ritual become what it is today?’ Headquarters’ executive director Mike Church, ILLINOIS 2005 , says, no one could really answer that question at the time.

Carlson understood early on that to speak about Sigma Chi and its values meant one must fully grasp where it comes from, how far it has come, and where it’s going, says Church.

“Doug spent many, many years compiling information about the Ritual. Anything he saw

about the Ritual he would copy and put it in a file,” says Order of Constantine Sig and the Fraternity’s 22nd Grand Historian Mike Codina, CALIFORNIASAN DIEGO 1993

Carlson was elected Grand Historian in 1981, a role he held until 1999. He wrote the History of the Sigma Chi Fraternity: 1955 to 1980, which is often referred to as the Carlson history. He had in his home a collection of antique silverware and early 20th-century phones that had separate transmitters and hand-held receivers into which the user would speak. He had a fascination with dip pens and reportedly hand-wrote the history book with a fountain pen.

“What Doug tried to do [through his work] was to bring us all back to the original ideas and ideals of the Founders,” says Codina.

When Carlson wrote the history, he was adamant that it justly covered the Fraternity’s actions, not leaving anything out. The time period that the book covered included the elimination of the clause within the Fraternity’s constitution that limited membership to white men; the issue created

tension among members for some time, and undergraduates turned in their charters when they were not allowed to admit men of various races into their chapters.

“[Carlson] said, ‘We need to cover not only the great things we’ve done, but also the bad things we’ve done in our history,’” recalls Codina. “He covered a very difficult time in our history and I think he did it extremely well.”

Carlson served as a member or chairman of the Fraternity’s Ritual committee for 42 years, and was inducted into the Order of Constantine in 1993. As a result of his research into the Ritual, he wrote an essay on the historical perspective of the Ritual that evolved into a 650-page compendium History of the Ritual, published in 2015.

He was also a member of the Ritual Renaissance and Revitalization committee, and his work helped give birth the Ritual Peer program, which pairs a person who is trained and certified on their knowledge of the Ritual with an undergraduate chapter. The Ritual Peer helps ensure that the chapter performs the Ritual as it was intended, and he helps start an in-depth conversation on the deeper meaning of the sacred text.

“What Doug tried to do [through his work] was to bring us all back to the original ideas and ideals of the Founders,” says Codina.

As 63rd Grand Consul, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Lee Beauchamp, TEXAS A&MCOLLEGE STATION 1975 , reflects, he remembers Carlson’s timeless character. “He would have been able to comfortably fit with any decade of Sigma Chi throughout our 160-year history… He was born that way,” says Beauchamp, who, along with Codina and Church, paid tribute to Carlson at an Oct. 21 memorial service at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota.

“He was kind of an embodiment of quite frankly all our Founders and leaders in Sigma Chi,” says Beauchamp. “He took over their personalities, whether it was past Grand Consuls or a Founder. I think Doug will really be known, historically speaking, as still being the foremost Grand Historian in the history of Sigma Chi.”

To honor Carlson, Sigma Chi created the Douglas R. Carlson Principled Leader Award, which will be bestowed each year upon an undergraduate and alumnus who have best exemplified the Fraternity’s principles through their selfless and impactful leadership. The organization is also creating the Douglas R. Carlson Sigma Chi Fraternity Archives and Center for Advanced Study, which will house processing and cataloguing space for important Sigma Chi documents and items.

Influential Lessons

Sixty-fourth Grand Consul Keith Krach, PURDUE 1979, proves that there is no shortage of inspiration to further his personal growth and leadership abilities. Story

Sixty-fourth Grand Consul Keith Krach, PURDUE 1979, speaks about mentorship and leadership on June 22, 2017, at the 81st Grand Chapter at the Omni Providence Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island.

As a successful entrepreneur, 64th Grand Consul Keith Krach, PURDUE 1979, knows leadership lessons come from many places — whether from 52nd Grand Consul Gardner Allen, EMORY 1928 , or Krach’s five-year-old twins, J.D. and Emma. Krach is chairman of the board of DocuSign, which allows users to electronically sign documents, having served as its CEO for almost six years. He began his career in 1981 with General Motors, where he was a vice president and spearheaded GMF Robotics. Named Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000, Krach also helped found the tech companies Rasna Corp. and Ariba. Below, Krach shares how Allen, whom he met when he was an undergraduate, impacted him, as did Krach’s children.

Allen called Krach and other undergraduates with whom he was close his little brothers, and as Krach explains, he had many little brothers, serving as their mentor.

As a young guy, did you expect to be able to develop such a close relationship with someone who at the time was a Grand Consul?

“… we looked up to [Allen]. He was just so comfortable in his own skin … all of a sudden, next thing [you know] you’re talking to him like he’s your best friend. And we told him everything. And he opened up with us. He had a lot of stories, you know, from the war, and all kinds of [lessons].

I think that was a huge part of his charisma, because he could really peel the layers of the onion and get to know people really fast. And he would let himself be vulnerable. And the next thing you know, [we were] vulnerable … and now you’re talking soul to soul.

And I’ll never forget … a few hours before he passed [away of a heart attack on Aug. 13, 1983, at Balfour Leadership Training] Workshop, I went into his room, because he was heading to an Executive Committee meeting.

And … I don’t know why he said this – he must have had a premonition, but he said, ‘Keith, you know, [if] something happens to me, there will always be a piece of your heart in mine, and a piece of my heart in yours.’

And what he taught me is your heart has an infinite capacity. He really had an infinite capacity … he taught me the magic of Sigma Chi [which is giving back], and paying it forward.

What is it that you learned from him that you try to emulate?

Well, I think it’s living our [Sigma Chi] values every day. I also learned that you don’t have to be perfect … which was kind of interesting, because he was never afraid to talk about his failures. That was a gift that he gave us because, first of all, it took all of the pressure off [of] us to be perfect. Second of all, it taught us [not to] be afraid to take risks.

How would you encourage an undergraduate to search for a mentor who would be really beneficial for them? This is the magic of Sigma Chi — your natural mentors when you come [into the chapter] are the seniors. And, as you get to be a senior, a lot of times [they would be] guys who graduated from the [chapter].

Would you consider your dad your first mentor?

Absolutely. In many ways, he was like Gardner. He really modeled the way. He [was] a German guy, [with] a strong work ethic. He had a great sense of humor …

A big thing I learned from my dad is that a key leadership quality is range. I mean, is it better to be an autocratic leader or a consensus builder? Well, the answer is both. It depends [upon] the situation. I used to

work in [my dad’s] factory in the summertime [when I was in junior high and high school], and everybody liked my dad, but he didn’t talk about that much. But we’re [out driving] and I go, ‘Dad, everybody just likes you. Why?’ And he pulled over … put on the brakes, and he looked over at me and [said,] ‘When you’re with a drunk, you drink. When you’re with the Pope, you pray. Everything in between goes, but always be yourself.’ So, basically, he was saying [you should have] range, but always maintain your integrity.

Has there been inspiration that you drew in your life from someone from whom you didn’t expect to?

Oh, yeah, … from the last place you’d think to look — five-yearold twins. Actually, those guys are great leadership models. And the reason is because they never take anything personally … Sometimes they get into spats, but they love each other. But when they do [get into a spat], it’s a thermonuclear war. [Then] it’s over like that. And they also have positive intent. And they don’t live in the past, or in the future. They just live in the here and now. If you just think about those three things, that will make you a better [person].

The HBO comedy series, Veep, which features Significant Sig Tony Hale, SAMFORD 1992, as the character Gary Walsh, won an Emmy Award for best comedy series on Sept. 18, 2017, at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The seventh season of Veep, which will air in 2018, is said to be its last.

Called the most ambitious production of a Fraternity publication, work began in 1884 on the 720-page Catalogue and History, which was published in 1890. It includes a history of the organization and each of its chapters to that point.

The University of Arkansas Razorbacks’ football team wore Dallas Cowboys-style uniforms when they played at the NFL team’s stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 23, 2017. The uniforms were a nod to Cowboys owner and Arkansas alumnus Jerry Jones; Arkansas athletics graduate assistant and law student Hayden Redd, ARKANSAS 2012, created the design.

Lining the walls of International Fraternity Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, are 94 portraits of each of the Grand Consuls and other key figures. At least one of them is the work of famed artist Everett Raymond Kinsler, whose subjects have included eight United States presidents and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
