The Magazine of Sigma Chi Winter 2019

“TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP IS THE PRACTICE BY WHICH LEADERS INSPIRE AND EMPOWER OTHERS TO INNOVATE AND CREATE...”

It is fitting that, as we begin a new decade, this Magazine of Sigma Chi will showcase the Learning Continuum and Transformational Leadership development we have been working on for the past two years. We will be sending this issue to university and college presidents and student life professionals to showcase our efforts.

Sigma Chi International Fraternity is ready to announce to our brothers, the parents of our brothers, our university partners and the world that we are redefining the word “fraternity.”

From an organization first chartered by our seven Founders in 1855, our Fraternity has grown and sometimes stumbled, but it always has focused on developing our brothers both personally and professionally. Our naysayers argue that we are not aligned with the modern university environment and our best days are behind us — that our way of life needs to end.

As your Grand Consul, I firmly believe that our best days are in front of us. We have been working diligently on the concept of the Learning Continuum and advanced the role of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute. We rolled out the definition of transformational leadership at the inaugural Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop this past summer at Bowling Green State University. Sigma Chi’s definition of transformational leadership is the practice by which leaders inspire and empower others to innovate and create change that will positively impact the Fraternity and ultimately the world.

If Sigma Chi is to succeed in the modern university environment, we must become partners with our host institutions. We will continue our efforts in philanthropy and campus involvement, but now we also have created an educational pathway that will allow our undergraduate brothers to earn fully accredited, transferrable and stackable certificates that articulate the life skills they learn through membership in Sigma Chi, all while pursuing their chosen course of university studies. As our members matriculate through their undergraduate careers, they will be able to gain micro-certificates in areas such as foundational leadership and innovative leadership, resulting in a first-of-itskind certificate in Transformational Leadership. I invite you to read this issue of The Magazine and acquaint yourself thoroughly with this new program.

Our emphasis will be on developing our brothers’ soft skills. Colleges and universities will teach calculus, while we will teach life skills. We will recruit young men who are interested in more than the social aspects of university life. We will prepare them to compete in a rapidly changing professional environment. Employers today are looking for employees who can:

• Solve complex problems.

• Think critically.

• Exhibit creativity and an ability to think on the fly.

• Show strong people skills.

• Work well with others.

STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP

• Exhibit emotional intelligence.

• Demonstrate sound judgement and decision-making.

• Be service oriented.

• Have negotiation skills.

• Exhibit cognitive flexibility.

A person who can exhibit these skills stands a much better chance of landing employment and advancing further and faster than those who do not exhibit these skills.

Our recruiting efforts will shift to recruiting men who want to be enduring and transformational leaders. We will provide that opportunity for creating social maturation and building lifelong friendships while also advancing their ability to perform upon leaving the university.

The future for Sigma Chi is limitless, but it will take the combined efforts of the Fraternity and our extended alumni ranks. Join us in this campaign. Help us continue to grow our beloved Fraternity into the organization our seven Founders envisioned 164 years ago.

Fraternally,

Steven Schuyler

A“ THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE MADE THE 2019 YEAR A SUCCESS, AND BEST WISHES TO ALL OF OUR

BROTHERS AND FRIENDS .

lthough 2019 marked the 164th year since the Fraternity’s founding, the year included many firsts for our storied organization. One of those firsts was announced on June 29, 2019, at the 82nd Grand Chapter in Salt Lake City: the naming of Jim Cogdal, BRADLEY 2003, and 68th Grand Consul Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982, as the first executive director and chairman of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute (SCLI), respectively.

In this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi, we are excited to announce Sigma Chi’s plans to begin the path to institutional accreditation under an accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education so that the Fraternity, through the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute, can begin offering certificates in Transformational Leadership to members. This step forward for the organization gives our graduates a leg up in the job market and offers our alumni additional opportunities for skill development and involvement with Sigma Chi. The chance to learn and practice skills like values-based decisionmaking, self-management, team building and others in an environment that supports growth and mentorship have long been the hallmarks of our membership experience. Now, the organization is positioning itself to provide members accredited training in such skills. We hope you enjoy learning more about these efforts from Cogdal and others in the feature stories in this issue.

Also in our winter issue, for the first time in quite some time, is the Sigma Chi Foundation’s 2018 to 2019 annual report. Coupled with reporting, stories and statistics representing the highlights of all that Sigma Chis have accomplished during the past year, it provides detailed information on the many ways the Foundation provides best-in-class support to our members thanks to the incredible generosity of our alumni and friends. We hope that you will find our including it in our winter issue to be a valuable source of information that demonstrates the ways in which Sigma Chis are making an impact.

Thank you to all who have made the 2019 year a success, and best wishes to all of our brothers, family members and friends for a happy holiday season and prosperous year ahead.

Sincerely,

Ryan Liskey

Fraternity Financial Commentary 2018-2019 Fiscal Year

The 2018 to 2019 fiscal year was one of growth for Sigma Chi, recognizing total gross revenues of $8.5 million. Our Foundation continued its support, contributing $4.147 million and representing a year-to-year increase of $1.3 million.

Pledge, initiate and membership fee revenue totaled $2.8 million, $291,000 more than comparable 2017 to 2018 income. Nearly half of this growth was due to continued normalization of the membership fee deferral schedule, heavily adjusted in the 2017 to 2018 fiscal year. The remaining increase was due to organic growth in pledge and initiate numbers.

From a cost perspective, operating expenses totaled $8.3 million for the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year. This increase of $1.2 million compared to the previous fiscal year correlated nearly in step with our Foundation’s additional investments, cited above.

Bolstered by the Foundation’s grants, the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute (SCLI) continued to develop and expand its curriculum and educational tools, such as the Ritual for Life post-initiation training program, Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit sessions, the Sigma Chi Online learning management system, Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop and other initiatives. Programs expenses increased by $685,000 over the previous fiscal period, reflecting a 28 percent increase.

Accountability and chapter support costs increased $407,000 in the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year, reflecting full deployment of the regional chapter support model. Ten regional chapter support coordinators now blanket North America to support our undergraduate chapters.

Other expenditures included the 82nd Grand Chapter and investments in marketing and communications, including a rebrand of The Magazine of Sigma Chi.

From an operational perspective, the Fraternity closed the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year with a net asset increase of $191,000.

The 2018 to 2019 fiscal year saw our Designated Fund and other investments gain $429,000, translating to a total portfolio market value of $10 million. Contributing to this $10 million balance are funds released from the recent sale of Constantine Capital, Inc. Acting on a proposal from the Risk Management Foundation (RMF), the Fraternity sold its ownership stake in CCI to the RMF. The transaction released a segment of the fixed asset portion of the investment portfolio, requiring rebalancing of the portfolio to match our investment policy.

For the coming year, the Executive Committee has approved a budget designed to keep expenses as low as possible and to estimate revenue in a conservative manner. We will strive to continue delivering world-class programs and services and to be good stewards of the Fraternity’s funds.

The 2018 to 2019 fiscal year audited financial statements are available upon request.

S Fundraising for Others

Steve Marin Jr., FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 2020, has raised more

than $110,000

to aid homeless and former foster care students at his university

teve Marin Jr., FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 2020, hasn’t forgotten the moment as an eighth grader he realized that not every child grows up with the same lifestyle he has.

At the time, Marin belonged to a traveling basketball team comprised of youth from various parts of his hometown of Miami. One weekend they had a game in Tampa, Florida, and the overnight arrangement was three boys to a room at the Holiday Inn. When Marin and his roommates arrived at their room to drop off their luggage, one of the teammates plopped himself onto the kingsized bed, looked up at the other two and said, “This is heaven.”

Those words stunned Marin.

“It’s inexplicable how I felt. To me, it’s just another hotel and bed,” he says. “It made me wake up to how my world is different than others. Kids my age don’t all live the same way I do.”

Marin was left thinking about that experience days later. His father advised Marin to use the advantages he has to help others, and Marin took those words to heart. “Because I am privileged, I have an obligation to help them have the same things I have,” he says.

That attitude is one that has followed Marin to college at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami. There, he fundraises for an on-campus program that benefits students experiencing homelessness and those who were formerly in foster care. For his actions, Marin has been named the winter quarter Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action TM Leadership Award winner.

FOSTERING PANTHER PRIDE

When Marin, a business major, started his freshman year in fall 2016, he kept his extracurricular activities schedule simple until he got used to the university routine. He focused on his classes and worked part-time at Smoothie King. By spring semester, Marin was eager to become busier.

“I wanted to do something [impactful]. I just didn’t know what,” he says.

Marin reached out to Sandra Gonzalez-Levy, senior vice president of external relations at the university, and asked for advice on how to get more involved in his collegiate community.

“I suggested Fostering Panther Pride because it is an incredible way to improve the lives of fellow students who need it and deserve it,” she says. “All of our FFP

students work so hard, fight through challenges and overcome so much.”

The Fostering Panther Pride (FPP) program, founded in 2013, provides academic and support services to students who are experiencing homelessness or were formerly in foster care. Its purpose is to aid the students’ transition to FIU, retain them through graduation and assist them with securing employment or placement in graduate studies after earning their bachelor’s degree. The university says online that since the program’s inception, 425 students have benefitted from it, and 117 have graduated.

“The students we support through FPP have no family support. They don’t have the guidance, the home or the nurturing of parents,” Gonzalez-Levy says. “College is hard enough if you know where your next meal is coming from. If you don’t, life can be overwhelming. This program gives these students a fighting chance.”

Marin joined the President’s Council, a voluntary leadership advisory board, and its Fostering Panther Pride Committee that is responsible for fundraising initiatives for the program. Money raised directly helps with students’ tuition, food, books and other expenses. Marin says he has tried to involve himself in his community since he was young, so he knew of several people he could call and ask for donations.

“Money is a big deal, and at first I called people who I was comfortable with. I got a lot of nos. It wasn’t easy to do,” he recalls. “I tried to win them over with how well the program does and how it’s impacted me and others.”

Thanks to his years of advocating for the program and dedication to collecting funds from various donor sources, Marin has raised more than $110,000 for Fostering Panther Pride. He also serves as a student mentor to those in the program.

“Steve is a role model for students in and outside of the Fostering Panther Pride program,” Gonzalez-Levy says. “He’s knocked on doors, made connections and brought people together for the benefit of our FPP students. His fundraising efforts are evidence of what can be accomplished with hard work and determination.”

Recently, Marin was recognized by county officials for the amount of money he has secured for Fostering Panther Pride.

A COUNTY COMMENDATION

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Esteban Bovo Jr. presented Marin with an official commendation at the July 23, 2019, commissioners meeting.

“When I went to college, I took for granted the sacrifices my parents made. Yet, there are many who go to college who have made sacrifices we can’t even imagine,” Bovo said in a video posted to his social media accounts as commissioner. “There are young adults who go to FIU and other colleges who are homeless. Thanks to the efforts of Steve Marin Jr., Fostering Panther Pride at FIU makes sure that students who sleep in a car at night, or in a bathroom, have a place of shelter and food. … For those who sometimes speak about this new generation that doesn’t, [Marin] represents a new generation that does.”

Several news outlets reported on the commendation following the commissioners meeting.

“It’s a big deal and was super exciting to receive it,” Marin said. “However, it’s about recognizing the program, not me. It’s about recognizing what the kids have been able to do, such as make good grades and graduate. They’re the superstars. I’m just the middleman.”

Marin credits Sigma Chi with helping to foster his giving attitude. “[During recruitment], I learned about Sigma Chi’s values, and it inspired me to take life more seriously,” he says. “Hearing about [Jon] Huntsman [Sr.] [and his philanthropy] is what elevated me to give back more.”

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 introduced the award to recognize the selfless acts of brothers. A formal recognition by the Fraternity allows non-m embers to appreciate the scope of the organization. For information about the award, see sigmachi.org/character

"FRATERNITY FRATERNITY TRANSFORMING TRANSFORMING

SCLI HAS NOW BEGUN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING AN INSTITUTION LICENSED BY THE ILLINOIS BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION PRIVATE BUSINESS AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS

DIVISION AND IS POSITIONED TO BECOME ACCREDITED THROUGH A U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION RECOGNIZED ACCREDITOR.

As you may have read in the spring and summer 2019 issues of TheMagazine ofSigmaChi, Sigma Chi has invested heavily in the character and leadership development of its members for decades. Through these efforts, we have been told repeatedly by third-party observers that the quality of curriculum we provide to our men is equitable to the best of what is available in either the higher education landscape or the corporate world. In short, it is best-in-class material.

Decades of investment to develop the leadership and life skills of our members is what enables Sigma Chi to now look to the future. Although Sigma Chi is an institution that has entered its 165th year of existence, we have turned our sights to ensuring that the organization’s future is even more vibrant than its decorated past. In seeking that future, we spent significant time coming to understand the needs of the students of today and tomorrow and the role that fraternities could play in enhancing the already intrinsic benefits associated with membership. As the next article will explore, Sigma Chi has focused on the need to help our men develop articulable, tangible and transferrable life and leadership skills. We cast a vision that will be transformational for Sigma Chi and for each man who wears our badge. In order to achieve this vision, we recognized that an evolution was necessary within Sigma Chi and that the broader notion of fraternity needed to find new vibrance as well.

In order to deliver on this promise, we needed the right vehicle to do so. Sigma Chi formed in 2007 a 501(c)(3) organization called the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute (SCLI) whose purpose is to provide character and leadership education. It soon became clear that SCLI’s purpose and formation made it a perfect vehicle to which we could hitch our aggressive ambition, and the Sigma Chi Fraternity and Foundation jointly decided to recast SCLI to enable it to deliver on this plan.

In order to add new vitality and meaning to the fraternity experience, we realized we first needed to overcome the inertia of tradition. That process requires a catalyzing vision and unified efforts to achieve success. In 2017, Sigma Chi Fraternity and Foundation leadership, working hand in hand, agreed that we must break the cycle and, in turn, landed on our solution.

Since the organization’s founding in 1855, Sigma Chi has always believed that the world should Expect More of us and that we should Expect More of each other and ourselves. In that spirit, Sigma Chi is launching the boldest and most aggressive initiative ever undertaken by a fraternal organization.

In the coming years, Sigma Chi will offer curriculum that is aligned to similar standards as our higher education partners and validated as such by regulatory authorities.

SCLI has now begun the process of becoming an institution licensed by the Illinois Board of Higher Education Private Business and Vocational Schools division and is positioned to become accredited through a U.S. Department of Education recognized accreditor. The leaders of SCLI will provide more context to this mission in the following pages. In 2019, the next generation of leadership of the SCLI was selected. The board of directors hired as its executive director Jim Cogdal, BRADLEY 2003, who for years had served as a primary architect of Sigma Chi’s revolutionary approach to membership education through his role as senior director of membership development for the Fraternity. With him, they hired a team of professionals who would be tasked with achieving this unique mission. New board members who had the requisite qualifications, experience and pedigree were recruited and elected.

Sixty-eighth Grand Consul Michael Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982, with his decades of experience in leading the development of Sigma Chi’s programming, was tapped to serve as chairman. And, with that, the work of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute has been set in motion, task in hand: deliver curriculum that has been validated to meet accreditation standards to the men of Sigma Chi and validate the leadership experience for decades of transformational leaders to come.

It is this ambitious plan that Sigma Chi feels will bring about a new way of thinking for fraternities. In this way, we raise the bar for what should be expected of a fraternal organization and establish simultaneously a new value proposition for what it means to be a fraternity man.

FRATERNAL FRATERNAL LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP

Since its founding on June 28, 1855, the Sigma Chi International Fraternity has been rooted in transformational leadership. More than 160 years have passed since our Founders’ leadership forged a path for more than 300,000 young leaders to follow, but their legacy of courage and high ambition remains constant, especially in Sigma Chi’s most recent endeavor.

Sigma Chi is developing a Transformational Leadership Program featuring eight stackable leadership certificates through its Sigma Chi Leadership Institute (SCLI), which is anticipated to be licensed by the Illinois Board of Higher Education Private Business and Vocational Schools division as early as fall 2020 and begin the accreditation process through a Department of Education recognized accreditor as soon as it is eligible. Sigma Chi’s attempt to quantify leadership by providing measurable leadership skills to its members is a groundbreaking move in the fraternal industry in an attempt to continue providing value and benefit to its campus partners and communities.

“We must evolve when the times demand it,” says 71st Grand Consul Steve Schuyler, ARIZONA 1979. “And I would rather us lead that evolution than follow it.”

In 2017, Sigma Chi leadership began exploring the potential of a bold new reality. Informed by research about the needs and desires of today and tomorrow’s students, Fraternity leaders, led by 68th Grand Consul Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982, began thinking about what could be if we only had the courage to pursue it.

Greenberg enjoys daring greatly. He ends each SCLI meeting with a call to action for his board members and staff. His message is simple: Don’t be afraid to dream big, and dare to do something extraordinary every day.

Behind his leadership, Sigma Chi contracted with Cyanna Education Services to begin building pathways for SCLI to be licensed by the Illinois Board of Higher Education Private Business and Vocational Schools division as early as fall 2020 and begin the path toward institutional accreditation. Cyanna, based in Ohio, has helped organizations and institutions obtain accreditation for more than a decade. Its team plans to help Sigma Chi’s students achieve credit for Fraternity-related education that Sigma Chi members have been experiencing for decades.

Sigma Chi began focusing on the notion that fraternities have a real role to play in helping their members develop life skills that lead to creating transformational leaders. The Fraternity has long sought character-based leaders, albeit in less formal ways. It was this informal basis of development, juxtaposed against the backdrop of the ills that can befall fraternities, that has caused society to begin questioning the relevance of the fraternity experience.

“The goal is to continue what Sigma Chi has always done for its members: build enduring leadership skills that will impact the world,” Greenberg says. “This new vision of Sigma Chi education will not be too much different in form – just in the delivery and the expectation to put what is learned into action. By attending all our educational programs, including the Horizons Huntsman [Leadership Summit], Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop experiences or going through Preparation for Brotherhood and Ritual for Life, or Mission 365 [recruitment training program] and ValuesBased Decision Making or others, Sigma Chis can earn hours toward achieving a stackable certificate that will be recognized by the Department of Education, just like [a] degree at their university.”

Many Sigma Chis credit their undergraduate fraternal experience as playing a pivotal role in the formation of their life skills. Sigma Chi just needed a way to confirm that notion for the rest of the world. By developing the Transformational Leadership Program featuring eight stackable certificates, the Fraternity gives its members a way to publicly demonstrate the skills they learn from being a member of a Greek-letter organization.

In parallel, Sigma Chi also decided that it was time to evolve the notion of fraternity. There are certainly some ways that fraternities hang on to traditions of the past for nothing more than the sake of tradition. Traditions are important, but if they drift into the realm of the archaic, then the question of irrelevance begins to come into play. Sigma Chi must preserve our unique heritage and the core experiences that define us.

“I believe our Founders would be so very proud of the work we are doing and the incredible achievement we are working toward,” Schuyler says. “In this way, Sigma Chi once again takes a bold, visionary approach to evolving the notion of fraternity. Our brothers will be the generation that benefits from this incredible work. What a future this will be.”

THE VALUE FOR UNDERGRADUATES

If the world truly expects more of Sigma Chi brothers, then Sigma Chi brothers should expect more opportunities to challenge and build their leadership skills in a competitive professional environment.

Beginning as early as 2020, the Sigma Chi journey as we know it –participating in all of our educational programs, either by completing classes in-person or on Sigma Chi Online – will now be rewarded with credentials used within a stackable certificate process. A stackable certificate is a packaging of modules that, when completed, combine to form a certificate. For example,

the successful completion of P4B, Ritual for Life and Strong Arms will someday yield a stackable certificate.

Sigma Chi’s goal is to build a more complete and well-rounded leadership offering to its members so that they can articulate a certifiable Sigma Chi experience to their future employers, their families and others. SCLI is building stackable certificates, each focusing in a different form of leadership: Foundational, Authentic, Enduring, Courageous, Values-Based, Innovative and Distance. SCLI also is developing an alumni experience called the Adaptive Leadership Certificate.

“Experiencing traditional education from both an academically rigorous liberal arts college in Maine, and then at North Florida University, I have enjoyed an opportunity to see a variety of styles in education techniques,” says John Fletcher, NORTH FLORIDA 2020, an undergraduate representative to the Fraternity’s Education and Leadership Board. “I can’t name one class or combination of classes that have been so transformational to my development and have taught me so much more than the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit.”

The decision for Sigma Chi to invest in the accreditation of SCLI and its education is backed by research.

In April 2019, Strada Consumer Insights and Gallup released a joint report after surveying a representative national sample of 1,139 adult employees involved in hiring decisions. The report yielded key findings that support Sigma Chi’s transformational certificate strategy:

Sigma Chi is developing the Transformational Leadership Program featuring stackable leadership certificates through its Sigma Chi Leadership Institute, which is anticipated to be licensed by the Illinois Board of Higher Education Private Business and Vocational Schools division as early as fall 2020 and begin the accreditation process through a Department of Education recognized accreditor. The certificate categories are shown.

1 Employers prioritize technical and interpersonal skills as well as work experience above academic degrees, majors, college rankings and grades in the decision-making process about hiring.

2 Employers report that skills such as leadership, critical thinking, data analysis and work ethic are the hardest to find in potential hires, leading most managers to report leaving some jobs unfilled during the past year.

3 Seventy-seven percent of those involved in hiring decisions would consider hiring someone without the desired degree (and 62 percent have done so).

4 Three-quarters of respondents fail to see much connection between the school someone attended and their job performance.

The goal is for Sigma Chi to provide a quantifiable path to these critical skills so that employers see the fraternal experience as a rewarding experience in terms of skill-building, networking and the development of enduring leadership skills.

“Sigma Chi is pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a fraternal man in this decade,” says Spencer Laiben, SAINT LOUIS 2020 , who is an undergraduate representative to SCLI. “The decision to potentially accredit SCLI moves the fraternal world in its entirety in a positive direction that illustrates our commitment to education. Countless brothers of the future will benefit from this groundbreaking academic opportunity offered by Sigma Chi.”

Sigma Chi plans to offer a complete transformational leadership program that features potential leadership certificates through SCLI. Currently, SCLI is building its state licensing application for the Illinois Board of Higher Education Private Business and Vocational Schools division and evaluating national accrediting agencies recognized by the Department of Education for the best potential for short-term success and a long term, mutually beneficial relationship.

The Fraternity will offer the program to undergraduate and alumni members, but it will not be required to be completed during the undergraduate experience. The goal is to provide on-demand access to world-class education for Sigma Chi members that can be completed, if need be, after undergraduate graduation and into life as an alumnus.

Integral social skills such as strategic visioning, understanding team dynamics, communication, cultivating change management, problem solving, crucial conversations, resiliency, feedback and mentoring are a snapshot of the offerings that will be quantified through these certificates.

THE VALUE FOR ALUMNI

Order of Constantine Sig Bob Wilson, FORT HAYS 1981, is the alumnus-at-large representative on the Fraternity’s Executive Committee. He is charged with increasing alumni engagement within Sigma Chi, and this new Transformational Leadership Program will be a way to engage alumni, both as learners and teachers.

“Education in Sigma Chi is two-way street. We are constantly learning and constantly teaching,” says Wilson. “Sigma Chi Leadership Institute is embracing this concept through their transformational programs and certificates for undergraduates and alumni, in effect for our entire membership.”

In order to achieve successful learning outcomes for every leadership certificate, Sigma Chi needs certified teachers and mentors. Sigma Chi’s alumni base will provide the necessary teaching skills to allow the future leaders of our

Chairman of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute

68th Grand Consul Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982, was selected as chairman of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute on July 1, 2019. Greenberg previously served as chairman on the Education and Leadership board from 2017 to 2019 and as Grand Consul from 2013 to 2015. He additionally has served as chairman of the Mission 365 recruitment training program board from 2001 to 2009, as a Horizons leadership development program facilitator and operating board member from 1998 to 2011 and has been a member of the Sigma Chi Foundation Board of Governors since 2015, among other roles. He was inducted to the Order of Constantine in 2005 and received the Significant Sig Award in 2017.

The Sigma Chi Leadership Institute’s board of directors is comprised of Fraternity alumni volunteers and an undergraduate representative. Its members are as follows:

• Chairman, 68th Grand Consul Mike Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982

• Vice chairman, Order of Constantine Sig Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982

• Order of Constantine Sig Curt Biller, MONTANA 1987

• Dr. Anthony Friedman, MISSOURI S&T 2007

• Brandon Gross, MIAMI (FLORIDA) 2009

• Spencer Laiben, SAINT LOUIS 2020

• Order of Constantine Sig Cory Rigler, MONTANA 1998

• Order of Constantine Sig Dan Shaver, TEXAS TECH 1993

• Dr. Matthew Skoy, NORTH DAKOTA STATE 2007

• Mike Targonski, VALPARAISO 2012

Fraternity to flourish through this forthcoming education. Through the creation and development of the Sigma Chi Facilitator Academy, the Fraternity and SCLI will endeavor to create a cadre of certified facilitators to instruct and track all SCLI programming.

Beginning with Horizons session coordinators and guides, spanning through our seasoned collection of Mission 365 and Workshop facilitators, Sigma Chi will utilize decades of leadership experiences and scholarship through a faculty spread across North America to deliver these certificates to undergraduates.

“My Horizons session coordinator, [Order of Constantine Sig] Dan Shaver, TEXAS TECH 1993, inspired me in such credible ways that even more than a year after experiencing Horizons I still think about all that he has taught me on at least a daily basis – and this will continue to be true every day that I live,” Fletcher says, adding a joke. “How many credit hours is that worth?”

Sigma Chi members are lifelong learners. That’s why SCLI certificates also will be offered in the future to alumni looking to take advantage of best-in-class leadership development curriculum.

Sigma Chi has more than 245,000 living alumni who made a lifelong commitment to the organization. It’s time to provide them value and benefits that can help them live their values in the workplace or in their family life.

“Sigma Chi believes in lifelong learning, and the ability to engage with Leadership Institute certificates is a perfect way for alumni to have access to a unique value-added personal development opportunity and reconnect with their Fraternity at the same time,” says International Fraternity Executive Director Michael Church, ILLINOIS 2005. “In this way, the Transformational Leadership certificates become just as important for today’s leaders as they will be for tomorrow’s.”

According to a June 2019 Forbes article, trainingindustry.com reports that leadership training is a $366 billion global industry. Sigma Chi will be offering its more than 250,000 living members the opportunity to engage with leadership certificates from a potentially accredited institution, which is a benefit to themselves and their communities around them, including their workplace.

Sigma Chi alumni also will be able to pay it forward and sponsor scholarships for other members looking to improve their leadership portfolios.

“The need for transformational leaders in our society will never end,” Church adds. “As the future of learning becomes much less linear, it will, in turn, require each of us to reinvent ourselves and acquire new skills in order to keep pace with constantly evolving industry demands and stay relevant.”

THE VALUE FOR CAMPUS PARTNERS

Sigma Chi’s Transformational Leadership Model maps out the core tenets of Sigma Chi leadership, which will be infused into each of SCLI’s eight stackable certificates. The tenets include Self, Others, Action and Community. We believe that until you develop self, one cannot lead others to cultivate action or change for the benefit of the community.

If Sigma Chi’s Transformational Leadership Model does not take hold within its chapters, their campuses and communities will not be impacted to full capacity. Community is an important aspect within Sigma Chi. Our philosophy of leadership is not just to improve ourselves and the organization, but also to

benefit those around us. Most importantly, the institutions of higher education that host our chapters on their campus or in their communities.

Dr. Matt Skoy, NORTH DAKOTA STATE 2007, is the director for student activities at North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota. He also is a director on the SCLI Board, joining because of the value the Transformational Leadership Program and its certificates could bring to the higher education environment.

“We are all in the business of preparing college graduates for the great transition from college to career,” Skoy says. “The Sigma Chi Leadership Institute is a perfect example of how Fraternity can truly assist in the development of college students prior to graduation.”

This new co-curricular experience will fit hand-in-hand with the academic experience Sigma Chi members enjoy within their colleges and universities. By experiencing Sigma Chi programs on their own time, members could graduate with a diploma from their institution and leadership certificates awarded by a nationally accredited Sigma Chi Leadership Institute.

The tandem will be a win-win for all involved. Graduates are stocked with valuable learning and life skills plus on-the-job experience entering the job market, which increases their placement rate following graduation and is a win for their university. This program should also elevate the leadership experience and extracurricular offerings for recruits looking to engage in the Greek-letter landscape at their institution.

“SCLI will provide many personal and professional development opportunities for participants,” Skoy adds. “These co-curricular experiences will complement the experience institutions provide as both Sigma Chi and higher education institutions work toward the holistic development of each student.”

WHAT’S NEXT?

The future of Sigma Chi is truly transformational. Over the course of the next two years, Sigma Chi will work toward getting SCLI accredited to continue providing members with the critical skills needed to enhance their lives and make their communities and workplaces stronger.

In partnership with Cyanna, the SCLI staff, board of directors and consultants, and the Fraternity’s educational operating board and Executive Committee are collaborating to build the Transformational Leadership Program and each of its leadership certificates and a deployment plan for them. This information will be delivered in future issues of The Magazine of Sigma Chi and on sigmachi.org.

This announcement is the beginning of a leadership journey that will show the world why it should expect more from Sigma Chi and what happens when it does. The best is yet to come.

FUTURE FUTURE FOROUR HOPE HOPE

"

BY DR. CHARLES NIES, ST. THOMAS AND WASHINGTON STATE 1998, VICE CHANCELLOR FOR STUDENT

As another academic year starts, I review the syllabus for my course on Exploring Leadership. I reflect on how the course often pushes students beyond their previously held single story of what it means to be a leader and what they define as leadership. While I know that I am biased because this is what I study, I have come to believe that the conversations we have throughout the semester are critical lessons for the students’ future and for our future.

While it may feel like splitting hairs, too often the interchangeable use of the words leader and leadership add to the confusion and our inability to move beyond the single story. From a theory perspective, leaders are the individuals who work collaboratively with others to influence positive change around a shared understanding of the future. Leadership is the process, the action, through which this change occurs. We often limit our understanding of the ability to facilitate change to those with positional titles and attribute to those in charge the power and responsibility to create the future. This single story assumes that those to whom we ascribe the label of leader are effective in their roles, that those without positional power cannot influence positive change and that having leaders means that leadership will happen.

leadership, Sigma Chi’s leadership model and its practice challenge participants to identify strengths, values, skill development and areas of growth. It examines the importance of personal wisdom, passion, commitment and self-control. Then, bringing that sense of self into the dynamic of a team and creating an inclusive environment is connected to Google’s discovery in Project Aristotle, a 2012 to 2014 study on what makes a team successful, and Amy Edmondson’s 2018 book on fearless organizations, as it balances courage with compassion. The teams tap into Ronald Heifetz’s notion of adaptive leadership as creative problem solving and strategic action addresses complex challenges with integrity. Margaret Wheatley’s notion of community connects the leadership process to our civic responsibilities as we collaborate and partner with our communities to facilitate that powerful vision of a better future, only to learn more about ourselves and continue the journey.

It is not surprising, then, that most of the leader and leadership development programs focus on the skill development of the individual who is in, or aspires to be in, one of these positional roles. While models identify the need to develop individual strengths and talents, and the need for collective action through collaboration and partnerships, many of the programs fail to deliver. As a result, you often have well-trained leaders who feel frustrated by an organizational culture resistant to change or unwilling to move the leadership process into action.

That is why the Transformational Leadership Program developed by Sigma Chi International Fraternity is critical. It is comprehensive in its approach to self, others, action and community. It is both theoretically sound and operationally deliverable. I have seen it work.

Building off the concepts supported by Harvard Business School professor and Significant Sig Bill George, GEORGIA TECH 1964, and the power of authentic

These are only a few of the grounded theories linked to this model. They are all powerful concepts, but the model is more than just theory from wellresearched books. As a past facilitator in the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit, Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop and former Cornerstone mentoring program, I have witnessed lives transformed as leaders developed, and the leadership process launched positive change in the communities of our chapters, campuses, neighborhoods, cities and states. While it may seem a departure from our founding and the Three Great Aims of Friendship, Justice and Learning, I see them all aligned. These principles and concepts are reinforced throughout our Ritual and reflected in the lives of many brothers throughout history. This is connected to our charge.

As we continue to face complex issues and respond to the rapidly changing global economy, we need leaders who can engage the leadership process. We need leaders who understand self, bring that authentically into relationship with others, create collaborative plans of action and work with their community partners to transform current conditions. These leaders, who lead with character, are the hope for our future.

A stackable certificate program recognized by the Department of Education provides Fraternity members with an advantage in the job market

For a quiet kid from a small town in central Illinois, my ascent to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit at the Snowbird Resort in 2001 posed a challenge I had not encountered before. It sent me on a weeklong quest to understand and reflect on who I was as an individual, what qualities I possessed and needed to sharpen, and more importantly, how I communicated with those around me.

My descent from the mountain six days later was much different. I spent that time immersed in my small group, with a mentor as our guide, to focus on learning. Learning to communicate. Learning to cultivate positive change. Learning to properly give and receive feedback. Learning to fail. Learning to follow. Learning to lead.

The Fraternity chapter at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, offered me many opportunities to put what I learned at Horizons into action as an undergraduate. The real challenge came after graduation, surprisingly. The first real assessment of what I learned on the mountain came in questions posed to me in my first job interview.

The learning outcomes of Horizons made complete sense to me. I experienced them, and they changed my life. The carefully crafted curriculum helped me problem-solve, communicate and strategize with my teammates to cultivate positive change. However, quantifying and proving that to an inquisitive hiring manager sitting across from me became a test that I ultimately passed, but the experience left me wondering how other brothers would fare in similar situations.

Fast forward to 2019, where Horizons is still thriving as one of many transformational leadership programs Sigma Chi offers. With the announcement that the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute is building a pathway to state licensing and accreditation for its education through leadership certificates, future Horizons graduates will have their college transcripts as proof that Sigma Chi leadership education is proven and effective through the Enduring Leadership Certificate in the Leadership Institute’s Transformational Leadership Program.

The licensing and accreditation process will bring a level of external credibility and validation never before offered alongside Sigma Chi leadership development. These certificates and credits earned by completing Horizons and other Sigma Chi programming, such as the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge education program, also will be submitted to the American Council of

Education, which means they soon could be eligible for transfer back to our members’ colleges or universities for application to their respective degree paths.

Finally, Sigma Chi leadership, quantified. Finally, something tangible to hand to a hiring manager and point to the skills Sigma Chi teaches its members. Finally, proof that what Sigma Chi has built in 164 years remains to be a valued and worthy benefit beyond chapter life. Now, when a hiring manager reads a Sigma Chi’s résumé, they will find an extra bonus, something different about this candidate.

‘TELL ME ABOUT TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP’

What we know about the future of the world economy is that it will become much more centered on specific, articulable, transferrable skills.

According to the World Economic Forum’s most recent “Future of Jobs” report, published in 2018, the top 10 skills needed in the workplace in 2020 and beyond are:

• Complex problem-solving.

• Critical thinking.

• Creativity.

• People management.

• Coordinating with others.

• Emotional intelligence.

• Judgment and decision-making.

• Service orientation.

• Negotiation.

• Cognitive flexibility.

These skills and many others are the bedrock of all Sigma Chi education and have been for years. By someday developing a pathway to accreditation, Sigma Chi Leadership Institute is connecting these skills within all Sigma Chi programming and packaging them into a transformational leadership experience comprised of eight stackable leadership certificates.

For our future Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit graduates and all members who engage with Sigma Chi programs, they will be able to show hiring managers and the world what Sigma Chi has built, as well as how it transformed them and the idea of being a Fraternity member.

Hollywood Stars and Leaders of Significance

BY WES HOLTSCLAW, EAST TENNE SSEE 2012

Los Angeles, the city where Significant Sig actors John Wayne, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

1929; Brad Pitt, MISSOURI-COLUMBIA

1986; and others began their careers has long been an active area for Sigma Chi activity

Since the turn of the 20th century, Sigma Chi has had a strong presence in southern California, particularly with alumni in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

While side chapters and clubs have been established and closed, the original Los Angeles Alumni Chapter remains one of the Fraternity’s oldest continually active alumni chapters west of the Mississippi River.

Officially chartered on July 7, 1903, 14 years after the establishment of the first alumni group in the area, the Los Angeles Alumni Chapter has included three Grand Consuls, five U.S. senators, 20 U.S. congressmen and a number of Order of Constantine Sigs and Significant Sigs from its eight regional chapters, particularly those at the University of Southern California and the University of CaliforniaLos Angeles.

The Los Angeles Alumni Chapter honors these men and the academic success of area undergraduate members with its annual awards banquet each fall.

As with most years, the three Significant Sig Award recipients recognized during the September 2019 event provided a true look at the variety of successes Sigs have found in the region.

There’s Significant Sig John Ireland, CALIFORNIA-LOS ANGELES 1985, the radio voice of the Los Angeles Lakers and co-host of ESPN Los Angeles’ “Mason and Ireland,” the highest-rated sports radio show in southern California for the past three years, according to espnpressroom.com.

Significant Sig Dave Demarest, CAL. STATE-LONG BEACH 1972, graduated 100 percent of the players he coached on the baseball diamond during his National High School Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame career at La Quinta High School and helped many of his athletes land playing opportunities at the collegiate and professional levels.

Significant Sig Michael Connelly, FLORIDA 1979, moved to Los Angeles as a crime writer for the LosAngelesTimes in the late 1980s and turned his experiences into a series of best-selling novels and an Amazon TV series about his Detective Harry Bosch character.

The other highlight of the event shined a light on the undergraduate members in attendance.

Fundraising efforts from area alumni have allowed the chapter to award six academic scholarships annually through the Sigma Chi Foundation since 2015 as a tribute to longtime volunteer and 47th Grand Consul Craig Nason Jr., SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1926.

NASON AND WAYNE

Historically, it was the efforts of Nason and his Fraternity little brother that stood out among Los Angeles alumni for a great part of the 20th century.

Nason was immediately involved as an alumnus in the Los Angeles region upon his graduation.

While serving as an active member of the alumni chapter, he led alumni efforts with the local chapters by serving as chapter advisor to the CaliforniaLos Angeles undergraduates, an alumni chapter and housing volunteer, the West Province Grand Praetor, Grand Trustee and later as the 47th Grand Consul of Sigma Chi from 1973 to 1975.

His efforts are recognized with plaques at both the California-Los Angeles and Southern California chapter houses as well as the M. Craig Nason Los Angeles Alumni Chapter Scholarship Fund.

While Nason was more hands-on with Sigma Chi, his little brother became the entertainment face of the Fraternity for decades.

Significant Sig John Wayne, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1929, became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but he remained an active presence at local Sigma Chi alumni functions and used his celebrity status through letters and phone calls to encourage the activity of Sigma Chi alumni in the area and to boost attendance at popular events, such as the annual Sigma Chi Day at the Races horseracing outing.

Wayne also helped award the inaugural International Sweetheart of Sigma Chi recipient in 1948 and was known for writing letters to new Sigma Chi chapters upon attaining their charters.

SIGS IN HOLLYWOOD

Sigma Chis have long been leaders in a variety of fields in southern California, whether through business, legal affairs, political endeavors or medicine.

It’s the Sigma Chi success in the pinnacle of the entertainment industry that gives the Fraternity added bragging rights among its Greek-letter peers.

From classic Hollywood stars Significant Sigs Regis Toomey, PITTSBURGH 1921, and Buster Crabbe, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1931, to the legendary careers of Wayne and Warren Beatty, NORTHWESTERN 1959, and the modern-day success of Brad Pitt, MISSOURI-COLUMBIA 1986, among others, Sigma Chi stars have shined bright.

It is the Los Angeles area where a young budding TV executive, Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Kerry McCluggage, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1976, and Universal Television took a chance on a fellow Southern California Sig, Significant Sig Tom Selleck, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1967, with a career-defining lead role in what became a major 1980s TV success on CBS, Magnum, P.I., despite the insistence of ABC that Selleck was not “leading man” material.

It is also where, in 1975, at the encouragement of his Fraternity brothers from the Ball State chapter, Significant Sig David Letterman, BALL STATE 1969, and his former wife, Michelle, moved to Los Angeles in hopes of becoming a comedy writer and began his career performing at The Comedy Store.

Hollywood also is where the late Significant Sig Rip Torn, TEXAS-AUSTIN 1952, launched a 60-year career and, today, counts Significant Sigs Ty Burrell, OREGON 1987, and Tony Hale, SAMFORD 1992, among those finding success on the small screen from its studio lots.

SIGMA CHI IN LA TODAY

The expansive geographic area in Los Angeles and Orange counties has enabled the alumni chapter to create and grow sub-pockets for monthly gatherings, events and meetings in order to enable active participation in an area where traffic delays are as common as the California sun.

Areas such as Conejo Valley, downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Inland Empire, Long Beach, San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, South Bay and Westside each have respective lunch, dinner or social hour events each month.

Along with the annual Los Angeles Alumni Awards banquet, the chapter in recent years also has resurrected an event that was popular among members, the Sigma Chi Day at the Races. Held each January, the event at Santa Anita Park horseracing track serves as a fundraiser for the chapter’s M. Craig Nason Los Angeles Alumni Chapter Scholarship Fund.

Following Nason’s lead, longtime volunteer and Order of Constantine Sig Dick Barley, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1954, remains active leading fundraising efforts to renovate the chapter house at the University of California-Los Angeles, while McCluggage, who is former director of Universal and Paramount Television, leads similar efforts for his home chapter at the University of Southern California.

With eight active chapters and a steady growth of young alumni in the region, the future of Sigma Chi in Los Angeles appears as bright as the Hollywood stars.

A Successful Mission

The Fraternity’s Florida Atlantic chapter shares how the Mission 365 recruitment training program has helped its members recruit record pledge class sizes

The majority of the 55 members of the Sigma Chi chapter at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) struggled in 2017 to wake up early on a Saturday and report at 8 a.m. to a four- to six-hour Fraternity program on recruitment.

Mission 365, a values-based recruitment training seminar for undergraduate chapters, was introduced to all Fraternity chapters in 2006 and has undergone subsequent revisions to better reflect the needs of undergraduate students. It is intended to introduce a strategic 365-day recruitment approach to enhance membership quality and quantity, and the goal is to help chapters identify and recruit men of character.

The Florida Atlantic chapter was chartered in 2013 with 36 members and over the years had been having pledge classes of 14 men. Order of Constantine Sig and Chapter Advisor Vincent Fernald, BRIDGEWATER STATE 1990, says the chapter wasn’t hurting for new members, but, “The guys needed some support.”

Significant Sig Bill Morrow, IDAHO 1967, facilitated that 2017 program, and the men walked away better understanding what qualities a man of Sigma Chi should have and how to recruit such men. That fall, they recruited a pledge class of 21 members and have averaged a pledge class of 23 men since then. Today, the chapter and its alumni leaders say Mission 365 has helped the chapter grow 200 percent since its founding to about 72 members, with an additional 22 men who were ready to be initiated for fall 2019 at the time of this writing.

MORE THAN A TAGLINE

“Recruiting 365 isn’t just a tagline,” Fernald says. “They’re really doing the prework. We bid to initiate. We don’t bid to drop.”

For the first time, all undergraduates in the chapter have gone through Mission 365, and both Fernald and Consul Sebastian Scalera, FLORIDA ATLANTIC 2020, say the mindset of recruiting throughout the year has come organically.

“Recruitment week is where we get it done, but Mission 365 primes you to think about [recruitment] year-round. More and more guys recognize the importance of Mission 365,” Scalera, the chapter’s former recruitment chairman, says. “Whatever you want to excel at, you need all hands on deck and the culture to support that. We’ve really set the bar high for that energy.”

“Whatever you want to excel at, you need all hands on deck and the culture to support that. We’ve really set the bar high for that energy.”

The chapter recruited a record-number of new members during the 2018 to 2019 academic year. In the fall, the men offered 27 bids to potential new members and initiated 26 men. In the spring, they offered bids to 17 men, and for the first time the chapter had a 100-percent initiation rate. Also, in each of the past three years, the chapter has won a Peterson Significant Chapter Award and has reached the $20,000 donation club for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Fernald credits the chapter’s recent successes to its implementation of Mission 365.

“In bid meetings, we use language from The Jordan Standard. They’ll ask, ‘What line in The Jordan Standard does [the recruit] meet?’” he says. “It’s easy to ask where you’re from, but not so much the deeper questions we’re asking now.”

Last summer, Fernald had a conversation with the chapter about how large the chapter wants to get.

“At first we said no more than 85 total [members]. We only wanted a 10-men pledge class,” he says. “This fall we ended up giving out 22 bids, and 22 accepted.

“We decided it’s about quality, not quantity.”

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

For chapters looking to replicate the success Lambda Tau has had with Mission 365, Fernald and Scalera offer some tips, with the first being to try and secure a consistent facilitator. Both men say having Morrow as a facilitator has helped their chapter better understand the program and their own recruitment goals.

“Bill has built a relationship with the undergrads, and he knows all the players at FAU, such as the Greek Life coordinator,” Fernald says.

Morrow, who became a Mission 365 facilitator in 2017 after being impressed with the program and its mission at an earlier Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, often meets with the undergraduates at the annual workshop and province conference and regularly seeks input on the chapter from university officials. He says his availability has allowed him to facilitate the program at FAU and is always honored to be invited back. But he says the real credit lies with the men of the chapter.

“The chapter really pays attention to the facilitation and seems to embrace the concepts,” Morrow says. “It appears to me that they’ve achieved a higher level of success with recruitment the past two years. They’ve really captured some topquality guys, and I’d like to think Mission 365 has contributed to that.”

Fernald and Scalera also recommend using a recruit-management application or other software, such as the free version of ChapterBuilder. The company’s website, chapterbuilder.com, says that its software aids in year-round recruitment, keeps recruitment organized and provides real-time analytics.

“Last year, we collected the names of 88 people interested in joining Sigma Chi. This year, we have collected 148 names,” Fernald says. “It’s easy because you can put [potential new member form links] out on social media, rank candidates but the candidates can’t see their ranking, and you can track the progress of candidates right up until bid day. It’s made a difference in our recruitment and has been a nice complement to Mission 365.”

Finally, Scalera says some of the best recruits were initially people the Florida Atlantic Sigs had as friends or met in class or at work.

“That relationship allows you to understand what they really care about,” he says. “How else do you find 40-plus quality guys in one year?”

CONTINUING THE QUEST FOR THE BEST

Sigma Chi’s recruitment philosophy and process is taught in an instructional program called Mission 365. It is designed to provide chapter members with practical suggestions and tools to improve their recruitment efforts.

The program, which had been in development since 2001 and was introduced to all chapters in 2006, includes for the first time in fall 2019 a modular version of its curriculum offerings. Chapters may customize their recruitment training workshop to fit their needs. Mission 365 includes a 3.5hour core curriculum session and three 90-minute enhancement modules that delve deeper into specific topics found in the core. Below are the topics covered in each session:

MISSION 365 CORE CURRICULUM OBJECTIVES:

• Describe Sigma Chi’s 365-day recruitment philosophy guided by the organization’s values and ideals.

• Summarize the selection criteria at the center of all Fraternity recruitment efforts.

• Define the social intelligence skills all members must use to find and recruit new members 365 days a year.

• Identify and review what makes Sigma Chi stand out from other Greekletter organizations.

• Help each member create and articulate a personal elevator speech for use as part of the chapter’s recruitment events.

ENHANCEMENT MODULES:

Advanced Conversation Skills

• Learn the five essentials to making a good first impression.

• Become proficient in asking questions that invite conversations.

• Understand the message and power of non-verbal communication.

• Identify areas of personal communication improvement.

The Art of Asking and Answering Questions

• Learn what progressive questioning is and understand its benefits.

• Practice asking progressive questions that reveal potential newmember character.

• Identify the tools available to help your chapter provide information about the Sigma Chi International Fraternity.

Building Diversity

• Learn Sigma Chi’s definition of diversity.

• Understand the advantages of a diverse membership and realize its importance to the future of the organization.

• Assess the current level of diversity within your chapter.

• Explore unfamiliar recruitment sources.

• Develop a plan with goals and accountability markers to expand chapter diversity.

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

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

“InasmuchasourdearlybelovedbrotherworeoverhisheartTheWhiteCrossofSigmaChi,whoseimmaculatewhitenesssymbolizedtousthepurityofhismotives, therefore,itismostappropriatethathenowbearabovehisheartouremblem;andthatwelaywhiterosesuponhiscasketintokenofthesweetmemorieswewillalways cherish of him we loved so well.”

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

IBrothers, friends and supporters of Sigma Chi,

t is a profound privilege to say this: Sigma Chi is in excellent condition. Take a moment to glance at the statistics in the sidebar on the adjacent page. Simply put, Sigma Chi is one of the largest fraternities by every measure, we are proud to claim the most initiates in the history of a men’s Greek-letter fraternity and the incredible outcomes of our collective efforts are quite clear. Our footprint at the undergraduate level is broad, it is becoming increasingly more diverse and the successes of our chapters and members are well-documented throughout this issue. All of us should be incredibly proud of what is happening in our chapters today because we have contributed in some way to making that possible.

As incredible as it is, the health of Sigma Chi is not simply measured by what is happening in the undergraduate chapters, though. There are, at present, nearly 245,000 living alumni spread throughout the world who proudly carry with them the ideals of Sigma Chi and live their lifetime commitment through their family lives, at work and in their communities. Our members occupy some of the highest public servant offices, lead Fortune 500 companies, serve their communities, and charitably support causes for which they care deeply. The collective strength of Sigma Chi is embodied in the individual successes of our members and each man should be proud of his unique and significant contribution that has laid the foundation for the incredible successes of Sigma Chi. Perhaps most indicative of this statement is the 2019 class of Significant Sigs, which is the largest class ever recorded in our history.

Sigma Chi is not perfect, nor will it ever be. Assuming it might be is as idyllic as it is unrealistic. We are an organization of humans and the human equation of imperfection will always be ever-present for us. This is neither an excuse nor an expression of passivity around this equation, but it is one that serves to juxtapose our lofty aspirations against a backdrop of realism. In this vein, we continue to grapple with misconduct issues in our chapters, but we are more determined than ever to address these issues and are doing so aggressively. Our approach

includes a combination of enhanced health and safety policies, heightened and clarified expectations for what constitutes behavior becoming of a Sigma Chi, and a unique, award-winning and aggressive campaign of educational initiatives. This three-tiered approach is ultimately aimed at creating sustainable culture change in our chapters which, when successful, will aid our continued ability to position Sigma Chi as the leader in the interfraternal and higher education landscape. Most importantly, it will allow us to continue positively developing and supporting the men of Sigma Chi.

While we continue to celebrate our successes and pay meticulous care and attention to the performance of the present, we also place great emphasis on being prepared for the future. To do this, we must first understand our future members and their needs. Take a moment to absorb the sidebar that highlights just a snapshot of the statistics on this subject. There is no doubt that today’s students are different than those of just 20 or 30 years ago. The changes are rapid and evolving at a previously unforeseen rate.

Though the present and future efforts of Sigma Chi are broad and deep, I have chosen to focus the remainder of this letter on perhaps the four most pertinent subject areas.

ADVOCACY

The fraternity experience is being challenged, and Sigma Chi is an active leader in the efforts to preserve and defend the fraternal experience from those who seek to destroy it.

For the first time in our history, Sigma Chi International Fraternity is a named plaintiff in federal litigation that challenges the egregious sanctions policy implemented by Harvard University that punishes our members for nothing more than making the choice to become Sigma Chis. Stay up to date on our efforts at standuptoharvard.org.

On the legislative front, Sigma Chi is supporting three signature pieces of legislation that have been introduced in the U.S. Congress, through the House Committee on Education’s College Affordability Act, and carry bipartisan support:

• The Collegiate Freedom of Association Act (CFAA) prohibits any institution that accepts federal funding from punishing students who join single-sex organizations simply because they made a choice to join.

• The REACH Act amends the Clery Act and requires that hazing be included in annual crimes reporting by college campuses.

• The END ALL Hazing Act requires colleges and universities to publish on a website all acts of organizational hazing that have occurred on their campus over the last five years.

We will keep you apprised of developments in this area and how you might be able to support.

MENTAL HEALTH

Students of today and tomorrow face a mental health epidemic. If nothing else, the central obligation Sigma Chis share is to care for each other. In that vein, we are working hard to support our members through our deployment of the Reach Out mobile app and our award-winning Strong Arms mental health and wellness program. Additionally, Sigma Chi serves a large benefit to today’s students in this area by simply continuing to do what we’ve always done well. Consider this: Having deep and meaningful relationships is the second-most positive contributor to a person’s sense of mental well-being, positioned right behind regular exercise. When Sigma Chi men focus on developing deeply meaningful relationships with each other framed through a healthy lens, the impact on our members’ positive sense of mental well-being is extraordinary.

ALCOHOL

Although the increasing percentage of young men and women entering college who have yet to develop any relationship with alcohol sounds like a positive bellwether, consider the other side of the coin – these students are now shaping their behaviors with alcohol in an inherently risky environment where about half of their peers are legally able to consume alcohol and have already developed a relationship with it, while the other half are unable to legally or safely access it. Compounding the issue, these students are in an environment where they have newfound freedoms as derivatives of having little to no supervision of their daily behaviors for the first time in their lives. As you can imagine, this is a recipe

SIGMA CHI OUTCOMES:

• 24 student body presidents on college campuses on average through the last 5 years

• $4.8M in charitable giving by active chapters in 2018-2019

• 250,000 hours of community service performed by active chapters in the 2018-2019 academic year

• 200+ IFC officers each year

Sigma Chi will always reflect the collective spirit and efforts of its men – and those efforts are magnified

when there are more who have determined to grab the rope and pull.

for trouble. This is why Sigma Chi has taken an assertive position on policy and education initiatives, all aimed at ensuring that our members have a healthy and legal relationship with alcohol, should they choose to imbibe, and that we work together to mitigate risky behaviors before they happen.

HAZING

Sigma Chi does not tolerate hazing in any form. It runs counter to everything we stand for, right down to our core principles of friendship, justice and learning.

In 2014, Sigma Chi implemented the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge education program across all chapters as a comprehensive and uplifting approach to orientation that inspires a man to live his lifelong promise and obligation, while helping him to fully grasp the most central aspects of the Fraternity prior to his initiation. We are proud to announce that Sigma Chi’s P4B program has won the 2019 Brandon Hall Group Gold Medal Award for Best Advance in Talent Acquisition Process. This is the kind of third-party validation that demonstrates how Sigma Chi is performing on-par with some of the most widely respected companies in the world, standing alongside winners in other categories which include: Coca-Cola, Estèe Lauder, Hilton and Accenture. While the real intent of P4B has always been to enhance the education and preparation of our men for a lifetime of engagement with Sigma Chi, the byproduct of the program is that it eliminates hazing when chapters are fully compliant with its implementation.

Finally, we are so proud and grateful for our partnership with the Anti-Hazing Coalition, an organization that is comprised of parents whose sons have passed away as a result of hazing, the North American Interfraternity Conference and the National Panhellenic Conference. The opportunity we had to bring these parents to the inaugural Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop in summer 2019 and have them share their gripping reality with the nearly 2,000 Sigma Chis in attendance was a powerful and unifying experience that reminded everyone how urgent the battle against hazing is. You can read more at antihazingcoalition.org.

THE FUTURE

While our signature future educational efforts are well-chronicled throughout the rest of this issue, other critical endeavors being presently considered and undertaken by Sigma Chi include: revisiting our approach to actively cultivating lifelong member engagement, overhauling our information technology infrastructure to be modern and relevant for the sophisticated future we are planning, and aggressively working to improve and preserve the quality of our housing experience.

I often get asked: Why are we doing all of this? My answer is this: since the day that seven young men got together in a small room in Oxford, Ohio, to lay the foundation for what would become the most successful Greek-letter fraternal organization in human history, generations of men have been inspired to Expect More of themselves as a result of our teachings comprised of timeless principles manifested as universal values. It is precisely that intrinsically valuable and rewarding experience that must be preserved and continually enhanced for future generations of men from which to draw benefit. Our world needs more of this. Our world Expects More of this. And Sigma Chi will deliver it.

The future of Sigma Chi has never been brighter. To get there, we need more men to come to the table as supporters. We need you. Volunteer, donate, advocate, learn. Whatever you can do, please do. Sigma Chi will always reflect the collective spirit and efforts of its men – and those efforts are magnified when there are more who have determined to grab the rope and pull. Our successes are your successes. I am proud to be a Sigma Chi and you should be, too.

Sincerely,

Michael Church ILLINOIS 2005 Executive Director

F THE GENERATION TO END CANCER

rom groundbreaking genetic research to a first-of-its-kind treatment to combat Ewing sarcoma, the second-most common bone cancer in children, the world-class research work at Salt Lake City’s Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) is helping lead the fight against cancer.

Named in honor of renowned philanthropist, the late Order of Constantine and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, and his family, the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah has furthered Huntsman’s life goal of combatting and eradicating all forms of cancer.

The loss of his mother to breast cancer was something that motivated Huntsman Sr. throughout his life. The commitment of more than $300 million from Huntsman and his family toward HCI has helped provide Utah and the Western states with one of the best cancer hospitals and one of the most comprehensive cancer research centers in the world, since HCI’s creation in 1995.

Knowing that 1 in every 2 men and 1 in every 3 women will get cancer during their lifetimes and the importance of the research being done at HCI, Sigma Chi International Fraternity officially announced during its 150th anniversary

celebration in 2005 that it was partnering with Huntsman to make the Huntsman Cancer Foundation the preferred charity of the Fraternity.

In 2012, Huntsman Cancer Foundation was designated as the Fraternity’s sole preferred philanthropic partner, and, in 2015, Sigma Chi made history with the largest-ever philanthropic commitment from a Greek-letter men’s organization with an $11 million pledge — over $10 million of which has been raised in less than five years.

During the 2018 to 2019 Huntsman Challenge fundraising cycle, Sigma Chi chapters collectively raised more than $2.3 million for HCI. And, for the first time in the campaign’s history, three chapters surpassed the $100,000 milestone.

This commitment was furthered during Sigma Chi’s 82nd Grand Chapter in Salt Lake City as the Fraternity surpassed its prior historic commitment with an additional $20 million pledged toward HCI’s Kathryn F. Kirk Center for Comprehensive Cancer Care and Women’s Cancers through 2030.

IBrothers, friends, and supporters,

n 2017, the Sigma Chi Foundation Board of Governors and the Sigma Chi Fraternity Executive Committee aligned themselves with a joint vision and mission, challenging ourselves to expect more of our brothers, ourselves and the contribution our Fraternity makes to the world.

Two years later, I am pleased to report that our Foundation has set a standard for all Greek-letter organization foundations. We have supported expansion and gains in leadership curriculum and provided another organizational record in academic scholarship support.

Last fiscal year alone, thanks to the support of our alumni donors from chapters across North America, the Sigma Chi Foundation surpassed $500,000 in scholarship support — a total that eclipses the $1 million mark when you include chapter specific awards across our brotherhood — and an organizational record of $7.7 million in grants and leadership education support. This is more than any Greekletter foundation has ever given back to their organization in a single fiscal year.

As you’ll see in the cover story of TheMagazineofSigmaChi, your contributions to leadership education support have directly enabled the launch of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute — an educational entity that will change the face of the Greek-letter world as we know it. Existing Foundation-sponsored modules — programming that is the standard-bearer amongst all fraternities — will be supplemented by additional enhanced leadership offerings, to give our young brothers the opportunity to learn accredited certificates in leadership education.

The evolution of existing leadership curriculum and the development of new offerings that deal with the issues facing our brothers today, such as hazing, substance abuse, mental health, suicide prevention and sexual misconduct, enable Sigma Chi to positively change the perception of Greekletter organizations.

My fellow board members, the Fraternity leadership team, the Foundation staff and I are committed to raising the funds necessary to further expand the reach of the leadership development and training efforts provided by SCLI, as well as enhance our support of academic scholarships.

In this report, you’ll also see that we have once again delivered an organizational record in scholarship output for the present academic year.

And I’m pleased to note that now, with the merge of the Life Loyal Sig program into our Foundation Annual Fund, each of us has the ability to directly impact our organization’s leadership and scholarship initiatives like never before.

As a Fraternity and Foundation, we realize that we must elevate Sigma Chi and our entire Greek-letter community to become better than the world expects, and to ensure that this powerful and improved experience thrives for generations to come.

We would be honored to have your continued support as we make great progress toward our goals.

In Hoc,

TBrothers and supporters,

hank you for supporting Sigma Chi during our 2018 to 2019 fiscal year. Your generosity allowed us to meet growing funding commitments in scholarships and leadership programming, expand the reach of our training efforts and, with the work of our alumni volunteers, help Sigma Chi develop leaders on campuses across the United States and Canada.

As you know, we have completed the third year of our joint Foundation and Fraternity strategic plan. The core of our shared vision and strategies is the development of young men who take positive action for the greater good. Thanks to your support and the leadership of our General Fraternity, we continue to deliver more significant value to our chapters and undergraduates than any other Greek-letter foundation.

Our joint plan calls for aggressive action, now, to ensure we preserve the path for the Sigma Chis of the future. In this pursuit, this month marks the official launch of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute, an academic entity that will provide certified values-based leadership curriculum to our members — a game-changing first in the Greek-letter world. We expect the institute to gain a state charter within the next year.

For the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year, we have further grown support of program grants and academic scholarships by 17 percent, resulting in enhanced undergraduate chapter support, additional support for the growing Sigma Chi Leadership Institute, and strategic investments in developing a comprehensive alumni engagement strategy. We also have enhanced communications including the launch of our new joint Sigma Chi branding with new web, print and social platforms, and the expansion of our development and IT capabilities.

During the Fraternity’s Grand Chapter in June, we launched the updated Life Loyal Sig annual giving program to create a simple pathway for every brother to support Sigma Chi today by contributing. Every annual donor is recognized as a Life Loyal Sig and receives important benefits, such as access to our awardwinning Magazine of Sigma Chi

We are also well on our way to being on par with the fiscal performance and efficiency of great universities and we are setting the pace in our Greek-letter world, achieving a cost per dollar raised of $0.14 in fiscal year 2018-19 and allocating $0.75 of every dollar contributed to our mission or reserve.

LEADER IN THE GREEK-LETTER WORLD

The great work of our Board of Governors and Foundation staff across the United States, along with your support, have maintained Sigma Chi Foundation’s place as the top Greek-letter fraternity foundation.

According to the 2019 Pennington and Company Fraternity and Sorority Report (FY 17-18 IRS Form 990), your Sigma Chi Foundation:

• Was best in the Greek-letter world in every identifiable category, including net assets, contributions, revenue, program services (grants and academic scholarships) and expenses.

• Contributed more towards leadership programming, general grants and academic scholarship support than any Greek-letter organization.

• Received twice the annual contributions of the No. 2 organization and 10 times the overall average.

You have supported Sigma Chi in a big way. And, as noted in this report, with a record-breaking 2018 to 2019 fiscal year, you have placed our Foundation above our Greek-letter peers and given an endorsement to the great work that our Fraternity is doing.

GROWING OUR IMPACT

Since the official launch of our standardized new member education program, Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) and Sigma Chi Online in fall 2016, Sigma Chi has over 19,500 active users of our online leadership curriculum modules.

We all have the privilege of being Sigs at a time when our Fraternity is the biggest it has ever been, doing more in terms of support than any Greek-letter organization at any point in history... “ "

This year has seen the development, testing and launch of new programming, such as Ritual for Life (10,500 users), Values-Based Decision Making (4,300 users) and Strong Arms, which has brought award-winning mental health awareness to 9,850 users.

As noted in the Fraternity’s recap, the number of substance, hazing, behavioral and sexual misconduct issues are at an all-time low. Our brothers are involved on campus, volunteering an average of 15 hours per man and contributing a record $300 per man toward philanthropic endeavors, such as the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

This success would not be possible without your continued support.

LOOKING FORWARD

The collective Sigma Chi team (Fraternity, Foundation, Risk Management Foundation and SCLI) are working on a number of major elements that evolve our Great Fraternity and have the potential to evolve the entire Greek-letter system.

As noted in this letter and throughout this annual report, we have made significant progress toward those goals:

• Provide a level of accredited leadership training never before imagined for a Fraternity

- The launch of the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute will be providing accredited academic components for each of our Sigma Chi members.

• Support our chapters to achieve universal high performance

- Thanks to increased grants in chapter support, Sigma Chi has provided each of our undergraduate chapters with a regionalized chapter support coordinator to provide hands-on support as needed.

• Communicate the impact of Sigma Chi and the positives of Greek-letter life

- Our new joint marketing and communications team led by Chief Marketing Officer Jay Ford, EASTERN ILLINOIS 1985, has launched a new Sigma Chi web presence; a redesigned Magazine of Sigma Chi; an expanded social media platform, including the debut of the Sigma Chi Podcast; and video series featuring monthly interviews with significant Sigma Chi leaders.

• Build a strong reserve to provide a stable future

- The work of our development team across North America is engaging alumni with the work of our Fraternity as never before. With the addition of our first Director of Legacy Giving John Price, OKLAHOMA STATE 1991, and field staff led by Vice President of Development Jeff Rothenberg, AMERICAN 2004, we are making a focus on top-level prospects, regionalized receptions and planned giving.

• Ensure that post-grad Sigma Chis are compelled to further engage with the organization

- Thanks to the support of our alumni engagement committee and enhanced marketing and communications efforts, we will be working to further a life-long Sigma Chi experience for our members.

We all have the privilege of being Sigs at a time when our Fraternity is the biggest it has ever been, doing more in terms of support than any Greek-letter organization at any point in history and being recognized for its excellence in unprecedented ways. But, as is typical of Sigma Chi, we are looking forward and working to make tomorrow’s Sigma Chi even better.

I hope that you will continue to join us on our quest to build better men who are prepared to succeed in college and throughout their lives.

Thank you for your continued support. We are truly grateful.

Chapters are receiving additional benefits through the Thomas Cowan Bell Chapter Challenge for the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year thanks to gifts accumulated through June 30, 2019

There were a ton of things I took away from Balfour Leadership Training Workshop and Preparation for Brotherhood [pledge training program] that I was able to use during my term as IFC president and IFC recruitment chair, such as the importance of values-based recruitment and using Sigma Chi values to impact the decisions made for our Greek-letter organizations on campus.

LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS AND GRANTS

Developing Values-Based Leaders

Our overarching goal is to positively impact every undergraduate brother every year with values-based leadership training and support. During the 2018 to 2019 academic year, Sigma Chi International Fraternity continued its rollout of Sigma Chi Online with the launch of the Ritual for Life post-initiation training program, a supplement to the Preparation for Brotherhood new-member education module.

Sigma Chi is focused on the relevant issues confronting our brothers on college campuses today by better educating these young men on alcohol misuse, drug abuse, hazing, sexual misconduct, suicide, depression and much more through an integrated presentation of our values.

Using our seven virtues to reflect upon leadership within one’s self, community, others and the actions they take in everyday life, online modules provide the “nuts and bolts” education, thus allowing the in-person programming to be more targeted with effective, impactful aspects.

SIGMA CHI ONLINE

Sigma Chi Online, made possible through the support of Significant Sig Bill George, GEORGIA TECH 1962, the George Family Foundation and donors to the George Match Challenge through the Foundation, is the Fraternity’s learning management system comprised of a full menu of online learning content that is available to all undergraduate members.

Through a blended approach of online and in-person learning, our members receive content designed to help them:

• Understand every aspect of Sigma Chi's ideals, history and traditions.

• Develop values-based leadership skills.

• Better understand the relevant issues found on college campuses today, such as alcohol and drug abuse, mental health awareness, hazing and sexual misconduct.

The service provides educational opportunities and content that combines curricula from existing values-based leadership programs with interactive mentoring and support from professionally trained alumni.

PREPARATION FOR BROTHERHOOD

Over the past decade, Sigma Chi has invested in the development of an innovative approach to pledge education called Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B).

Preparation for Brotherhood, thanks to the support of a lead gift from Significant Sig David Pyle, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1980, is the critical first step in a Sigma Chi’s lifelong learning journey. All chapters and colonies are required to use this program when educating new members.

Preparation for Brotherhood is designed to ensure that each new pledge, regardless of his chapter, gains a comprehensive, consistent and quality orientation to Sigma Chi. Pledges learn our history, values, ideals and programs, as well as understand Sigma Chi’s commitment and contributions to the Greek-

letter world, campus and community. It ensures that Sigma Chi values remain front and center.

As we teach principles, we hope to inspire our pledges to build lasting relationships with their brothers, to search for a way of life based on high ideals and to apply these ideals in their everyday actions. In short, it is our desire to inspire, educate and help our members apply what they have learned.

Since the introduction of P4B in the 2015 to 2016 school year, resulting program data points to higher pledge retention rates each year, an overall increase in pledge-class GPA each year and an increase in leadership development and involvement among our members.

Additionally, chapters that implement P4B perfectly are 80 percent less likely to experience an allegation of hazing.

P4B | Key Performance Indicators for 2018-2019 YTD

• Chapters adhering to P4B schedule with hazing incidents | 7.61%

• Chapters not adhering to P4B schedule with hazing incidents | 36.40%

• P4B reduces hazing incidents by | 80%

RITUAL FOR LIFE

In 2016, 69th Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978, charged the Jordan Initiative committee with developing a comprehensive Ritual education curriculum for new initiates following the completion of the Preparation for Brotherhood program.

In 2019, Ritual for Life (R4L) launched to every new initiate across the Fraternity. Ritual for Life is designed to educate each chapter’s new initiates on Sigma Chi’s Ritual history and inspire them to apply the Ritual’s lessons to their lives for the betterment of their chapter, campus and community.

By examining our Ritual, new members are encouraged to make a lifelong commitment to the betterment of self, others and community through Sigma Chi’s values-based living. They will be inspired to find ways to apply our Ritual to their lives.

STRONG ARMS

Following the tragic deaths of seven members over a three-year span from 2012 to 2014, Sigma Chi wanted to send a message to its members that their safety and welfare are top priorities.

Today, through the lead support of Keller’s parents, Michael Zibilich, GEORGIA STATE 1970, and wife Gayle, the Sigma Chi Strong Arms curriculum serves as the organization's dedicated learning resource to address mental wellness and emotional health.

For its groundbreaking approach, the Strong Arms curriculum was awarded the 2019 Laurel Wreath Award for outstanding education within the North American Interfraternity Conference.

VALUES-BASED DECISION MAKING

Since the early 2000s, Sigma Chi has made a concerted effort to provide members with the resources needed to lead by example when facing challenging issues with the Greek-letter community, such as alcohol and drug abuse, hazing and sexual misconduct.

A new hybrid learning curriculum touching on these key issues, Values-Based Decision Making (VBDM), the Fraternity’s accountability education, will launch in fall 2019.

Values-Based Decision Making, through the lead support of Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Bob Georges, FLORIDA SOUTHERN 1973, is based on a learning experience that can be tailored to the needs of chapters and individuals, as well as be delivered in variety of educational settings and venues, including chapters, Sigma Chi Online, province conferences and the Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop.

VBDM addresses accountability and the challenging issues on our college campuses today from a positive behavioral approach, meaning that we explore these topics with the goal of inspiring change through positive reinforcement of brotherhood, healthy relationships and our values.

MISSION 365

Sigma Chi members better learn character-based recruitment and leadership skills through the Mission 365 recruitment training program.

Mission 365 is designed to provide our undergraduate brothers with the necessary skills to recruit quality men into our Fraternity.

Realizing that recruitment is the means by which we perpetuate our Ritual and Fraternity, the Fraternity provides a core curriculum and six electives that support our undergraduate brothers in looking for men of good character 365 days a year.

In essence, Mission 365 provides our chapters the opportunity to learn essential recruitment skills for Fraternity life and the professional world.

Mission 365 | Key Performance Indicators for 2018-2019 YTD

• Likelihood of chapter producing student-body president

after chapter M365 | 2x

• Reduction in alcohol-related incidents after M365 | 56%

• Reduction in hazing incidents following M365 | 29%

KRACH TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS WORKSHOP

Each summer, Sigma Chi’s undergraduate chapters send a delegation of five to seven brothers who were elected to officer positions to meet as a group during the Fraternity’s longest-running leadership engagement event.

Formerly known as the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, the Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop (TLW) creates an opportunity for undergraduates to undergo mentoring and strategic planning sessions to ensure improvement in their chapter roles and operations throughout the forthcoming academic year.

The workshop is sponsored by a lead endowment gift from 64th Grand Consul Keith Krach, PURDUE 1979, who is the former chairman and CEO of DocuSign and Ariba and the current U.S. Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment. Krach TLW shifts between chapter small-group discussions and officer-specific large-group educational presentations, which are both led by trained alumni facilitators within the Sigma Chi Facilitator Academy. The alumni facilitators also serve as mentors for their assigned chapters during the following academic year.

The chapter officers meet together with a facilitator throughout the workshop to develop core objectives for the chapter’s strategic plan, which will be finalized at the beginning of the school year.

Attendees also meet in officer-specific groups at Krach TLW. In these presentations, individual officers will participate in core educational sessions related to their office as well as key initiatives within the Fraternity and the Ritual before breaking out to officer-specific small groups for personal mentoring from an alumnus facilitator. Here, the facilitators will teach best practices and provide guidance in values-based decision-making regarding the operations of the chapter.

Balfour LTW/Krach TLW | Key Performance Indicators for 2018-2019 YTD

• Likelihood of chapter producing student-body president sending 5+ participants | 2x

• Chapter GPA improvement in chapters sending 5+ participants | .036

• Increase in hazing occurences in chapters sending 4 or less participants | 50%

• Increase in student government participants from chapters sending 5+ participants | 36%

• Increase in IFC officers from chapters sending 5+ participants | 53%

HORIZONS HUNTSMAN LEADERSHIP SUMMIT

In 1999, after four years of development, the Fraternity introduced Horizons, a six-day leadership program located in Snowbird, Utah. What began with 48 participants in a pilot program has grown into an annual attendance of nearly 250 undergraduates spread across five weeks each summer.

Through a generous endowment in 2014 by Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, to the Sigma Chi Foundation, the Horizons program became the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit.

The Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit is a leadership development experience created for qualified undergraduate Sigma Chis with at least two years of academic eligibility remaining. The program is conducted in an ideal setting for outdoor adventure, interactive learning and inspired reflection.

The Huntsman Cancer Foundation and the Sigma Chi Foundation generously fund 100 percent of the experience through a leadership grant. This includes all travel, housing, food, curriculum, materials and activity costs.

Horizons | Key Performance Indicators for 2018-2019 YTD

• Average increase in chapter GPA per member attending | .048

• Increase in IFC officers from chapters sending 1+ participant vs. chapters with 0 participants | 29%

• Increase in student government participants from chapters sending 1+ participant vs. 0 part. | 51%

• Philanthropic giving from chapters sending 1+ participants vs 0 participants | 2x

ADDITIONAL GRANTS

• The Foundation provided $630,000 to support the continued growth of the Fraternity’s regional chapter support program. The chapter support team provides operational guidance and assistance to the Fraternity’s undergraduate chapters.

• The team consists of 10 chapter support coordinators who all live remotely within their regions and work with approximately 25 chapters each.

• This past summer, 66 chapters were recognized with the Peterson Significant Chapter Award sponsored by the Foundation. Established in 1964, the award recognizes chapters that demonstrate excellence in all operations, including academics, philanthropy, recruitment and Ritual performance.

• The California-Merced chapter received a $5,000 educational grant for having the Fraternity’s most outstanding scholastic achievement program, thus earning it the prestigious Daniel William Cooper Award.

• Two chapters received the James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award for the 2018 to 2019 academic year by improving their Peterson scores by 25 percent or more compared to the prior academic year.

• The Foundation and Fraternity honored 139 brothers with the Significant Sig Award in 2019 and recognized many of them during Sigma Chi’s 82nd Grand Chapter in Salt Lake City. Since its inception in 1935, more than 1,900 alumni have received the award, which recognizes members who have achieved high levels of professional success.

I know it’s a cliché answer about Horizons, but it is life changing. I learned so much about myself that I can take back to my chapter and use in my professional life when I graduate college. It will make me a better leader in the long run. It opened my eyes to what a true Sigma Chi is, and my Horizons group was the epitome of a true Sigma Chi brotherhood.

Academic Scholarships

Rewarding excellence in the classroom and community

Each year, the generous donations from our alumni and friends make it possible for the Sigma Chi Foundation to grant more than 300 academic scholarships and awards to our deserving undergraduate and graduate brothers and sweethearts. Providing scholarships and academic awards furthers the Foundation’s goal to promote academic excellence and volunteerism. We proudly award brothers who show outstanding leadership, academic motivation and commitment to their chapters and communities.

The Foundation will provide an organizational record of $517,500 in academic scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students throughout the 2019 to 2020 academic year thanks to contributions made during the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year. The overall tally surpasses the $1 million mark for the second consecutive year when combined with chapter-specific awards that are presented through undergraduate chapters or alumni groups.

International Balfour Award

Sigma Chi’s highest undergraduate honor, the International Balfour Award, is presented to the brother who best exemplifies Sigma Chi through his academic performance and demonstrated leadership. He is awarded $10,000 from the Foundation.

Andrew McMahon, BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN 2019 , is this year’s recipient.

Pictured at right, McMahon graduated with a degree in mathematics and a distinction in leadership studies. He was selected for membership in several honor societies. While a member in the Fraternity’s Chi Chi chapter, McMahon served as Consul, Magister, recruitment chairman and judicial board representative. He was president of the college’s Honor Council, tutored local elementary students in math, interned as a legal assistant and visited Nepal to help deliver community health initiatives. McMahon has joined the previous year’s honoree, Walker Wiggins, ARKANSAS 2018, and two undergraduate representatives to serve on the Fraternity’s Executive Committee.

This year, thanks to the growth in support for the Donor-Scholar Awards initiative as well as the Thomas Cowan Bell Chapter Challenge program, 313 individuals representing 186 chapters are recognized specifically by the Foundation.

Awards include undergraduate general academic scholarships; military service; and graduate scholarships in international business, engineering, medicine, general academic studies, media and law. The monetary total also includes the International Balfour Award, International Sweetheart, chapter sweetheart, Daniel William Cooper and Legion of Honor recipients.

Paying It Forward Honor Societies and Alumni Engagement

Thanks to the generous support of our alumni brothers and friends of Sigma Chi, the Sigma Chi Foundation is able to provide nearly $10,000 in leadership program and academic scholarship support to every undergraduate chapter every year, which is far beyond what any other Greekletter fraternity has been able to accomplish.

Hand in hand with the Sigma Chi International Fraternity, the Foundation is working to do everything possible to help our young brothers deal with university life in positive ways. Our financial and alumni engagement opportunities are crafted to align Sigma Chi’s needs with the broad goals of our donors.

Giving societies were established to honor members who donate at certain levels or in a certain way. Gift clubs honor lifetime giving as well as various levels of annual donations toward the Life Loyal Sig program, Thomas Cowan Bell Chapter Challenge, planned giving, program fund, Donor-Scholar Awards or Foundation-operated scholarship funds, naming opportunities or historical initiatives.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

LIFE LOYAL SIG ANNUAL GIVING

Whether it’s world-class leadership curriculum through the new Sigma Chi Leadership Institute, academic scholarships or operational funding, one-time monthly or annual gifts to the revamped Life Loyal Sig annual giving program are invested into every aspect of our mission.

On average, the Foundation generates more revenue, provides more program support and directs more of that support to leadership initiatives and scholarships than any other Greek-letter fraternity or sorority foundation, but there is much more to be done. Increases in funding along with the addition of Sigma Chi’s most recent leadership training modules through Sigma Chi Online serve as evidence of the work sponsored through these unrestricted annual donations.

The Life Loyal Sig program provides members with an opportunity to provide additional monthly and annual support to the continued growth and success of our Fraternity. These contributions annually support our general academic scholarships and increased developmental efforts, as well as the opportunity for every Sigma Chi chapter to request one of the many workshops concerning everything from drug and alcohol abuse to recruitment. It also allows us to better communicate with alumni and operate the Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters and historical facilities.

DONOR-SCHOLAR AWARDS

The Foundation’s Donor-Scholar Awards provide a naming opportunity to interested alumni who wish to directly support the Foundation’s expanding scholarship program. Donors contributing to this effort at an endowment level (a one-time gift of $25,000) will have an annual academic scholarship named for them or an honoree for a minimum of 30 years. Donors also are encouraged to establish a mentor relationship with the recipients.

SIGMA CHI LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

By providing our members with world-class leadership curriculum, Sigma Chi is developing young men into character-based leaders who are committed to the betterment of their chapters, campus and community. By supporting a major initiative, such as Sigma Chi Online, the Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop, Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit or an individual leadership module, alumni are funding the tools necessary to expand and continually improve educational opportunities for Sigma Chi’s undergraduate brothers.

HISTORICAL INITIATIVE

Founded in 2005 by 20th Grand Historian and Order of Constantine Sig Eric Hansen, CINCINNATI 1989, and members of the Fraternity’s Historical Commission with a grant from the Foundation, the Historical Initiative oversees the care and preservation of the Fraternity’s historical collection, including the Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi, the Sigma Chi Founding Site in Oxford, Ohio, and the monuments and memorials of our Fraternity. It is estimated that the various collections hold nearly 250,000 documents, images and three-dimensional artifacts. A significant way to support Sigma Chi’s Historical Initiative, leadership and scholarship efforts is to provide a naming and sponsorship level gift. Opportunities include exhibits and artifacts within the museum, archival preservation efforts and displays at the Founding Site.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS PROGRAM

The Foundation’s Distinguished Visitors program has provided alumni with an opportunity to reconnect with their Sigma Chi roots and impact undergraduate brothers since its inception in the 1980s. This year, alumni participated with visits to Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit in Snowbird, Utah, and the Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop in Bowling Green, Ohio. These men, who are among Sigma Chi’s most accomplished brothers, are encouraged to share their wisdom and perspective on leadership, character and values with undergraduate brothers during their visits.

REGIONAL ALUMNI RECEPTIONS

Over the course of the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year, the Sigma Chi Foundation Board of Governors and staff made a targeted effort to connect with alumni in U.S. metropolitan areas with special reception events. Hosted by Foundation board members and donors, these events provided an opportunity to deliver updates from the General Fraternity and to share Sigma Chi’s forward direction. The receptions will expand to new regional locations during the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year. For more information on these events or to receive a reminder when the Foundation visits your area, email the Foundation at foundation@sigmachi.org.

LEAVE A LEGACY Legacy Giving

Aplanned gift to the Sigma Chi Foundation enables a brother to define his legacy and directly impact the lives of future Sigma Chis and our Fraternity.

WHY ARE PLANNED GIFTS SO IMPORTANT?

Our “One Voice” strategic plan envisions a $100 million cash reserve that will expand world-class leadership programming and academic scholarships. While we are making great progress, planned gifts will be vital to our ultimate success. Our purposes are ambitious, but our aspirations are even higher. By including the Foundation in your estate plan, you will help achieve this goal and, at the same time, enjoy practical advantages for your estate and heirs.

GIFTS BY BEQUEST

A bequest to the Foundation can be made for a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or all or a portion of what is left after you have provided for your family. With a bequest, you retain control of and use of your assets during your lifetime and can potentially save on income taxes, capital gains and estate taxes.

LIFE INSURANCE GIFTS

Life insurance policies are powerful philanthropic tools that often allow a donor to make a much larger donation than they ever thought possible. Donors can name Sigma Chi Foundation the beneficiary or transfer ownership to the Foundation and then make tax-deductible gifts to pay the premiums. The Foundation receives the proceeds of the policy after your lifetime.

LIFE INCOME GIFTS

Your gift can be structured to provide you income for life. The Foundation will make a fixed payment to you for life with the remainder benefiting the Fraternity. Such arrangements are particularly appealing because donors often can reduce taxes and increase their spendable income. You benefit now, and Sigma Chi benefits later.

GIFTS OF RETIREMENT ASSETS

Designating the Foundation as a beneficiary of all or a specified percentage of your 401(k) or other retirement plan assets can save your estate both income and estate taxes. Additionally, if you are age 70 1/2 or older, you can roll over up to $100,000 a year from your IRA as a charitable gift and count it toward your required minimum distribution.

“When

I first started giving 20, 25 years ago it was probably $25 a year or $50 a year as my salary increased. After I retired and got more involved with Sigma Chi and some of its programs, that’s when I decided to make certain that young men of the future have the opportunity to receive values-based leadership curriculum that will impact their lives for the better. The impact the Sigma Chi Foundation has through scholarships and programming available to our undergraduates is phenomenal when compared to other organizations. I actually think in the future, they will see what they received from the Foundation and make a donation themselves.

As of July 2007, the Foundation recognizes in its giving societies and annual report donors who contribute to the unrestricted annual fund, the Bell Chapter Challenge, a program fund, a Donor-Scholar Awards initiative, Foundation-operated scholarship fund, naming opportunities or Historical Initiative. Contributions to chapter scholarship funds are recognized by individual chapters. Irrevocable planned gifts are recognized based on the face value of the gift. They are booked on the Foundation’s financial statement based on generally accepted accounting principles.

JAMES PARKS CALDWELL SOCIETY

The James Parks Caldwell Society recognizes brothers and friends who have named the Sigma Chi Foundation as a beneficiary of a planned gift, which includes a will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy or life income gift. The society’s namesake, Founder James Parks Caldwell, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, was known for being true to principle. The society honors not only Founder Caldwell, but also all who share a lifelong commitment to advancing the vision and interests of the Fraternity.
