Letter From the Grand Consul

Brothers and Friends,

Through the launch of the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program during this past summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop in Bowling Green, Ohio, Sigma Chi International Fraternity has firmly asserted its commitment to a program of constructive pledgeship. Instead of eliminating pledgeship altogether as some Greek-letter organizations have done, Sigma Chi has forged a better path forward. Our goal is to provide a consistent, values-based, eight-course pledge program to be implemented by all of our chapters and colonies this fall. As a leader in the Greek-letter system, the Fraternity chooses to be proactive rather than have a course of action dictated to us by others, should our host institutions choose to stipulate how pledge programs are run.

We all know that Sigma Chi is committed to values-based leadership development. Unfortunately, we have chapters that are not living up to our vision, which is to be the preeminent collegiate leadership development organization, aligned and living our core values. However, P4B helps to align all of our chapters in our quest to provide values-based leadership development for our pledges. It standardizes the Fraternity’s pledge program so that every recruit experiences a shared, consistent pledge education that prepares them for experiencing our Ritual, which makes us unique as Sigma Chis. And as stated by P4B committee chairman, Jim Holcomb, CAL. STATE-SACRAMENTO 1994 , the new program also provides personal growth opportunities for recruits while inculcating Sigma Chi teachings in their hearts.

We are committed to getting this program right. So we worked with several professionals, including those at Footprints Consulting, our partner in developing the Horizons Hunstman Leadership Summit, to create and design curriculum and elearning that will advance the Fraternity educationally. Simultaneously, we responded to and implemented feedback from pledges and brothers to enhance P4B. Some of that feedback was gathered by our International Fraternity’s metrics committee and third-party consultants, such as Skyfactor, which focuses on student success and retention. We deemed it essential to utilize outside professionals to show that we were serious about providing quality education tailored to the unique learning styles of our members through elearning, discussion groups, journaling, experiential exercises and the Big Brother mentoring program.

It was essential to obtain buy in from all of our chapter members, especially our Magisters, or pledge educators. We found through the alpha and beta pilot tests of the program involving more than 50 chapters that P4B was better received when we did the following: explained the story of the changing landscape at universities; painted the picture of why we urgently needed to rollout the program; discussed P4B as an evolving program and one focused on continued improvement; and finally, showed that chapter members would have an opportunity to inject portions of the pledge program they had already been using into P4B. The latter was borne out recently when over 300 suggestions for inclusion into P4B were vetted by a committee comprised of alumni and undergraduates. Nearly half of the suggested pledge activities were nearly identical to those already in the P4B curriculum and could thus be utilized with minimal differences, and yet more were approved for use in the program. The committee responded to each and every program suggestion they received.

I am truly excited by the prospect of a Sigma Chi from the West meeting one from the East at the 2017 Grand Chapter in Providence, R.I., and sharing their experiences about a similar pledge experience — as opposed to them having unique, inconsistent experiences that may or may not have prepared them to understand, internalize and live the values taught in our Ritual.

P4B is proof that Sigma Chi is leading the way in educational and leadership development. While we live in a changing culture, the program is a step forward in ensuring that the future of our great organization remains bright and focused on the Fraternity’s values that have endured for 161 years. We must implement it now rather than wait for tomorrow, which is too far away.

Letter From the Editor

Dear Readers,

In this Magazine issue, we focus upon the implementation of the Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program, which is a momentous occasion for the Fraternity. The program, which all chapters began to use this fall, not only offers universal education to each pledge in part through online learning, but it also reaches recruits in the ways in which they learn best. Through a blended instructional approach, pledges will take part in experiential learning, reading The Norman Shield, watching educational videos and taking exams. In this way, P4B helps those who learn either visually or by silently reading or rewriting their notes; listening and verbalizing; or by using all of their senses to do so. Previously, the Fraternity relied upon the reading of the Shield, discussion groups, experiential learning and pledge tests within each chapter to educate recruits about Sigma Chi International Fraternity, its history and its values; some teachings and tests, however, may have varied from group to group. P4B helps by utilizing a shared educational approach — recruits read and watch the same messages through a uniform system and all take their pledge exam on Sigma Chi U, the online platform that houses P4B.

While chapters benefit from the consistency, their pledges bring their own experiences and views to discussion groups and interactions with initiated members. As a result, recruits and their Magister, or pledge educator, may have different opportunities for personal growth from chapter to chapter. Regardless, the new pledge program ensures that all involved will be on solid footing to continue to evolve as individuals as they advance in Sigma Chi.

Enjoy the issue.

Sincerely,

Susan Lorimor EDITOR

Readers are Moved by Spring 2016 Magazine of Sigma Chi Story About Brother’s Perserverance

Amazing. Thanks for the great article [titled] Moving Ahead [in the spring 2016 Magazine of Sigma Chi]. You captured the grit and determination of an individual in [the piece on South Carolina 2008 grad] Brother Adam Gorlitsky’s conquest to walk again. He is a true pioneer. Although I do not know him personally, through your writing, I am proud and inspired by my fellow Sig.

I also am intrigued by the quarterly video supplement [to the Magazine]. Forward thinking. I would urge you to get this type of journalism in the forefront. It will connect with the newest members of the Fraternity.

Keep up the good work. I’m sure you have been told how important and admired your contribution is to Sigma Chi, but let me add my name to the list.

~Donald Astley, MIAMI (FLORIDA) 1976

Thank you for the inspiring, touching and compelling story of Sig Brother Adam Gorlitsky [in the spring 2016 Magazine]. Anyone reading it can be moved and inspired by Adam’s courage, heartfelt emotion and strength. Hopefully, many readers will feel the need to support Adam with a donation to his “I Got Legs” fund [which he began to help fund his exoskeleton]. It would be so appropriate for all Sigma Chi chapters to rally around Adam as their brother and assist him in his pursuit to “walk tall” again.

~Chris Thomas, ROCHESTER 1977

You did an incredible job [on the story about me in the spring 2016 Magazine]!

One of the Sigma Chi brothers who emailed me also donated $500 to I Got Legs after reading your article. His wife is also a paraplegic. That wouldn’t have happened without your writing talents, so thank you so much for everything; [it] really gives me huge motivation going forward with everything I’m doing.

~Adam Gorlitsky, SOUTH CAROLINA 2008

Flying the Sigma Chi Flag on the Range in Iraq With Marines

For some, a connection to Sigma Chi is something that is seen only through personal interactions; for others, it’s something that can be physically put on display. For @greeklifestuff #flagfriday winner Sebastian Calvo (@s_calvo89), TAMPA 2011 , it’s shown in both ways.

“I roll [the flag] up and throw it [in the] back of my flak jacket,” says Calvo, a combat engineer officer in the U.S. Marines. He is seen here in the winning photo with his troop, displaying the Sigma Chi flag on a nine-month tour in Iraq. “I have it with me every day when I’m out there.”

Calvo says that in Iraq it’s important that he and the men in his troop sustain their skills and make sure they’re current with their weapons system. “So we drove [right outside of the base to do so]; we just finished with the range then I was like, ‘Hey guys, want to take this picture before I submit it to Sigma Chi?’ and they were all about it, the Marines were excited.”

Calvo’s winning photo gained 214 likes, 17 shares and five comments on Facebook,

Representatives Plan to Communicate With Undergraduates Through Social Media

Austen Radke (@austenrad), CAL. STATE-FRESNO 2016 and Tyler Rochelle, NORTH CAROLINA-CHARLOTTE 2017, were elected undergraduate representatives to the International Fraternity’s Executive Committee at the 2016 Grand Council in Skokie, Ill.

Part of their plan for the coming year is to be available to Sigma Chi undergraduates through social media.

“Basically both of our stances when we ran was to be completely open and in support of whatever’s needed,” Radke says.

Brothers can reach out to the representatives through the @ecundergradrep Twitter account.

“We’re going to be here, we’re going to do everything we can if that help is needed, but we want to give [the undergraduates] that outlet through social media,” says Radke.

36 retweets and 101 likes on Twitter and 1,084 likes and 14 comments on Instagram as of July 14, 2016.

“Obviously in the Marine Corps, it’s an intense fraternity of its own, [with] a lot of brotherhood that I’ve gained, but you

know, I always look back to my undergrad days at Sigma Chi and those friendships are lifelong,” says Calvo, whose flag is one that Miller Townsend, TAMPA 2010 , sent him in a care package.

Brothers and sweethearts are asked to submit a photo of themselves with the flag for the chance to be featured on the Fraternity’s social media platforms and to win a gift from greeklifestuff.com. To enter, participants should email a photo, along with their school and graduation year, to photos@sigmachi.org, send a message to Sigma Chi International Fraternity on Facebook or Twitter.

Webb III is Proud to be Part of a Sigma Chi International Fraternity Family Tree

Everett Webb III, NORTH GEORGIA 1989, says that for him and many members of his family, Sigma Chi is deep in their lives and means a great deal. “We have seven family members who have been initiated who are Sigma Chis. My son is number seven,” says Webb, whose @campusclassics #proudtobeasigmachi-winning photo was posted to the Fraternity’s social media sites on July 1, 2016.

Webb is seen here standing next to his son Everett Webb IV (@rett_webb), GEORGIA SOUTHERN 2018 , at his initiation into the Fraternity on Nov. 11, 2015. On the other side of Everett Webb IV is Everett Webb II.

CHARACTER-IN-ACTION

Making a Difference in Your Life and the Lives of Others

Inspired to HELP

Rochester University brothers aim to bring relief to Syrian refugees. By David Riley

For many, the Syrian refugees who have been at the center of a national debate are an abstraction — millions of faraway people whom they’ve never met and probably never will.

They aren’t so distant to Omar Soufan ROCHESTER 2017. He traveled to Lebanon in the summer of 2015 to help establish a free rehabilitation and physical therapy clinic for injured refugees living in a camp near the Syrian border. What he saw there was gut-wrenching and motivating.

“The camps there, I don’t know how people are actually alive,” he says. “No bathrooms, no running water. You see kids eating dirt because they’re hungry.”

Soufan and his partner in this effort, fellow student Ibrahim Mohammad, ROCHESTER 2017, have been working on a second phase of their project. They want to use 3-D printers to create prosthetic upper limbs for refugees who suffered amputations after being wounded by bombs or missiles. For their efforts, Mohammad and Soufan have been named fall quarter Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action™ Leadership Award winners.

As they tried to better understand and address the humanitarian crisis in Syria, elected officials debated whether some 10,000 refugees should be welcomed into the United States; ultimately the country received its 10,000th refugee on Aug. 29, 2016.

According to United Nations estimates, the five-year conflict in Syria has sent more than 4.8 million refugees to neighboring countries, hundreds of thousands to Europe and displaced 6.6 million people within the country, which had a pre-war population of more than 20 million. Many

are staying in neighboring Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

Soufan was born in Chicago, but raised in Damascus, Syria. His parents and siblings still live there. He was in high school in 2011 during the early days of unrest, when protesters against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government often were met with violent suppression.

Soufan’s main concern is that innocent people are suffering, including his friends and family.

“I knew I could help”

The war’s human toll has continued to trouble Soufan since he came to the U.S. for college. He chose to study biomedical engineering, with an interest in prosthetics, partly because thousands of refugees have lost limbs in the war.

In 2014, Soufan came up with a way to use his studies to help. He decided to try to set up a physical therapy clinic for injured refugees. While providing a necessary service, he said he also could learn more about the refugees’ wounds and eventually make and fit them with prosthetic limbs. He is particularly interested in upper limbs, which are more difficult for refugees to find.

But raising money for rehab equipment proved challenging. Soufan was narrowly passed over for a $10,000 Davis Projects for Peace grant, and he and Mohammad, his partner in the project, tried to collect money online with limited success.

They found a different solution: Soliciting private donations and approaching the Syrian American Medical Society, a U.S.-based nonprofit that already was working to improve medical care for refugees. The group helped to secure donated equipment and funds for Soufan’s plan.

Character-in-Action

“I really liked his ideas,” says Dr. Jihad Alharash, a board member for the medical society. “We supported his project, and our team in Lebanon, we asked them to work with him.”

Donors included the Rev. Brian Cool, ROCHESTER 1989, director of the Catholic Newman Community at the University of Rochester. Cool says he was impressed with the relationships Soufan built with people and organizations already working on the ground with refugees.

“Why die without trying?”

In August 2015 — less than a year after first developing his idea — Soufan arrived in a refugee camp in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. Many refugees were wary of services provided haphazardly or for a price, and of help promised, but never delivered, Soufan says. He found a rudimentary physical therapy clinic already in the camp, but much of the equipment was outdated or broken.

Soufan spent several weeks working with the medical society to replace equipment and set up a more modern facility. While there, he also assisted a psychiatrist in the camp. Through his work, Soufan heard refugees’ stories firsthand. One young man had lost both legs, an arm, part of his left hand and his vision in an explosion.

Making a difference in your life and the lives of others.

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

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

Omar Soufan, ROCHESTER 2017 , a biomedical engineering student, is working with chapter brother Ibrahim Mohammad, also a 2017 graduate, to create prosthetic upper limbs for refugees who have suffered amputations as a result of the conflict in Syria. Both men are the fall quarter Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action™ Leadership Award winners.

Many amputees needed multiple surgeries to prepare what was left of their limbs for prostheses, Soufan says. Meanwhile, he also crisscrossed the border into Syria to visit his family when possible. All of this brought risk, but to Soufan, the trip was worthwhile.

The war brought a realization: He could die at any time. Anyone could. “Why die without trying?” Soufan says. “I don’t want to be walking and be hit by a random bullet. At least I could die for doing something better.”

But Soufan also was disappointed with the impact he was able to make, and he was frustrated with restrictions on aid workers. “The amount of bureaucracy I encountered there, it crippled me,” he says.

Alharash, who has been involved in the medical society’s work in Lebanon, says that when working with refugees, it becomes clear that it takes little to help a lot. But at the same time, the need is enormous.

“This is the frustrating part,” Alharash says. “We try to balance the need with the resources to see what are the priorities.”

Soufan and his partner are now focused on plans to raise money next year to bring 3-D printers to the rehab center and use them to make prosthetic limbs. This story was abridged and reprinted from the Democrat and Chronicle

Sigs React to Tragedy with SERVICE

When 49 people were reported as killed and 53 others injured in a mass shooting this past summer in Orlando, Fla., Sigma Chis were among those who responded by participating in blood drives and tending to the immediate needs of those affected by the horriﬁc incident.

By Ryan Priest, WASHINGTON

(SEATTLE)

2009

In the early morning hours of June 12, 2016, a lone gunman perpetrated the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history when he opened fire at Pulse, a nightclub in Orlando, Fla. The attack claimed the lives of 49 people and injured 53 others and shook the psyches of many of the city’s residents, including Sigma Chis, spurring them into action.

Central Florida province Grand Praetor P.J. Stephens, WASHINGTON (ST. LOUIS) 1971 , was traveling home to Orlando from Skokie, Ill., where the Fraternity had just hosted its Grand Council meeting, when reporters covered breaking news of the shooting.

“As a certified grief counselor through the Episcopal Church here in Florida, I knew what I had to do,” Stephens wrote the next day on his Facebook wall. “The messages had been coming through my cell phone while I was flying back [from Grand Council], and when we touched down, the messages flooded forth.”

Stephens says his bishop told him to “get his butt ... here.” Stephens responded with urgency and says all he could do was focus on how to help.

“You shut down your emotional side in situations like this — you know [the emotions are] coming eventually — and you focus on doing what needs to be done, because that’s what is paramount at the moment,” he says.

Within hours of landing at the Orlando International Airport, Stephens went to Episcopal Relief and Development’s (ERD) command center near the site of the shooting, not even stopping at home to drop off his bags.

ALUMNI ALMANAC

Racquel Asa of WFTV 9, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, Fla., reports on June 12, 2016, on the long lines of people waiting to donate blood at the OneBlood donation center on Michigan Avenue in downtown Orlando, in the aftermath of the shooting at Pulse nightclub earlier that morning. A gunman entered the club, leaving 49 people dead and 53 injured, according to news reports. OneBlood officials say the number of blood donations they processed in the week following the tragedy was nearly double what they normally handle. Photo courtesy of OneBlood.

“The Orlando Regional Medical Center is the major trauma center in Orlando, and bore the bulk of the injuries coming in and performed the necessary surgeries,” says Stephens. “What we were finding, though, is that they were just overloaded [by the number of victims and level of care they required].”

To help alleviate that, ERD arranged for three mobile medical centers to be stationed near Pulse. Each of the mobile units, he says, is the size of a rock ‘n’ roll band’s tour bus and is equipped to perform medical procedures, up to and including common surgeries. Within some 12 hours of the first gunshots, ERD’s mobile medical centers were onsite and ready to be used.

“In our mobile command center, we had telephone hookups and emergency connections with key agencies,” says Stephens, adding that many members of the public who called the command center were looking for places where they could donate blood. In response, those taking their calls pointed callers toward blood banks and mobile donation stations in their area.

OneBlood, which provides blood to more than 200 hospitals through the state on an ongoing basis, put out a call for help from donors. “When there’s a terrible situation like this, you need blood immediately,” says Significant Sig Rick Walsh, CENTRAL FLORIDA 1977, chairman of OneBlood’s board of directors. “On any given day, 60 out of 100 people cannot give blood, either permanently or temporarily.”

He adds that of the 40 people who can give, only three or four do. “That means that the entire supply of blood in America depends on about 3 or 4 percent of the population.”

In addition, Walsh says that there was a great need from those with O-negative blood. “Those with the blood type O-negative are the only universal donors, and it is the only type of blood you can administer to people in an emergency, when you might not know their type of blood,” he explains.

Thus, Walsh says when the blood bank sought donors, it was especially looking for those who have O-negative blood type. The call for help posted to the organization’s website also sought donors with O-positive blood, as well as those with AB blood type, who are called universal plasma donors, as their plasma can be transfused into any patient, according to OneBlood’s website.

Ultimately, thousands of people flocked to donation centers and blood drives to help replenish the blood supply, OneBlood reports. Walsh applauds Fraternity brothers such as Significant Sig Todd

In the aftermath of the deadly Pulse nightclub shooting on June 12, 2016, in Orlando, Fla. thousands of residents flocked to mobile units, such as this one near the nightclub, as well as to local blood donation centers to give blood. According to Significant Sig Rick Walsh, CENTRAL FLORIDA 1977 , there was a great need particularly for the universal O-negative blood type, as it can be given to anyone at the scene of an emergency, regardless of their blood type. Photo courtesy of J.W. Hendricks.

Bowers, CENTRAL FLORIDA 1977, and Stephens, who were among those who took to social media to encourage others to be donors. “The next thing you knew, we had thousands of people lined up to donate their blood,” Walsh says. “It wasn’t due all to us, of course, but our brothers really helped put the word out there.”

“For OneBlood, what happened was a stress test on our system of the most horrific kind. The fact that it worked flawlessly is a testament to our people [at OneBlood],” says Walsh, who adds that blood donations for the week following the attack spiked to 28,500 units, nearly double the volume the organization handles in a normal week. He estimates that more than 1,000 OneBlood employees and volunteers showed up to work as news of the crisis spread, many of whom worked as many as 30 hours before taking a break.

Walsh seems to also have been touched by those within the community who dropped off food and water for donors and OneBlood staff at local blood donation centers — something he says they hadn’t even yet had the chance to ask for. “I watched this community come together in ways I could not have imagined,” he explains.

PURDUE 1949 , a Semi-Century Sig lapel pin at the Fraternity’s

At the Tacoma Alumni Chapter’s November 2015 meeting at the Puget Sound undergraduate chapter house, Alexander Gedo, 2017 , at left, showed me a vintage Sigma Chi badge he purchased on the internet. On the back was engraved “HBP ’51” and [the Greek letters for Delta Phi]. Fortunately, Jon Torgerson, 1954 , and Stan Selden, 1953 , were at the meeting, so I asked them who “HBP” might be. After conferring, I checked my roster and we decided the badge must belong to Harold B. Prescott, 1951 , pictured at right. Gedo gave the badge to Selden, who volunteered to talk with Prescott and see if the badge belonged to him. Sure enough, it did. After Prescott served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he entered the thenCollege of Puget Sound in 1947. He joined the Sigma Mu Chi colony and became a founder of the Delta Phi chapter. He pinned his sweetheart, and, as soon he became a Sig, he gave her his badge. Unfortunately, the two went their separate ways and she gave him back his badge. Not long after, Hal gave the badge to his future wife, whom he married in 1951. After his wife’s 1995 passing, Prescott reconnected with the woman to whom he originally gave the badge in 1950. He gave her the badge again, and they dated until her passing in 2013; unfortunately he did not receive the piece of jewelry back from her family. It wasn’t until he received the phone call from Selden, however, that he thought about it. Having his 65-year-old badge find its way home was very emotional for Prescott.

On June 25, 2016, 16 Sigma Chis gathered in the walnut grove at the Bedford County, Pa., home of Significant Sig Bud Shuster, PITTSBURGH 1954 , to join 67th Grand Consul Dennis Santoli, CASE WESTERN 1967 , in a ceremony honoring Shuster’s induction into the Order of Constantine. Santoli noted Shuster’s executive career in the computer industry and his distinguished service in Congress, from 1973 to 2001, where he rose to be chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and ranking member of the Select Intelligence Committee. Santoli also emphasized Shuster’s lifetime commitment to Sigma Chi, from his undergraduate days in which he served as Quaestor, Magister and Consul at the University of Pittsburgh to his participation in numerous events throughout the years, including his leadership role in founding the chapter at Saint Francis University. The chapter was founed in 2013, and Shuster continues to serve it as chapter advisor. At his induction ceremony, Order of Constantine Sig Bruce Casner, GEORGE WASHINGTON 1971 , also gave a literary exercise from the Ritual. The ceremony in the grove was followed by dinner at “Shuster Lodge,” where a White Cross is built into the side of the stone house. The evening ended with singing The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi to one of the servers, who was a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority.

PledgingBrightera Future

In this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi, we focus on the creation and implementation of Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B), the Fraternity’s new pledge program. P4B aims to reach new recruits of various learning styles, whether they naturally absorb and process information better through experiential learning, discussion groups, or by watching videos and reading educational materials on their own, reflecting upon what they have been presented. Through this blended instructional approach, pledges take part in literary exercises, learn Sigma Chi International Fraternity’s history and write in a journal that is now in the back of The Norman Shield, the manual for recruits that has been a mainstay of the pledge program since 1929.

Also new to the pledge program is elearning, as the educational videos are housed on Sigma Chi U, the Fraternity’s learning management system. The elearning and the use of an updated, 200-plus page manual that guides Magisters, or pledge educators, through the implementation of P4B within their chapters, brings Fraternity-wide consistency to the pledge program for the first time. In this issue, we explore how such changes can benefit the organization, and how P4B differs from programs used in the past. We also hear from Magisters who utilized the new program in their chapters as part of last academic year’s pilot program of it, and from some of their Greek-letter advisors, chapter advisors and Grand Praetors, or regional directors. The men offer their feedback as to how they and others responded to P4B.

A New Pledgeship New Era for a

As all Sigma Chi International Fraternity undergraduate chapters utilize the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program this fall, they are educating their recruits through a shared learning system that is touted as having many key benefits.

THE PREPARATION FOR BROTHERHOOD (P4B) program has been a widely discussed topic among Sigma Chi International Fraternity members since it began its alpha tests in fall 2015. Fully implemented into each of Sigma Chi’s chapters this fall, the program is designed to ensure every pledge experiences a common education about the Fraternity’s values, history and programs, as well as personal development exercises.

Before its widespread implementation, P4B was the subject of discussion at the 2015 and 2016 Balfour Leadership Training Workshops. At those events, undergraduate chapter officers, alumni facilitators and Grand Officers considered the program, why leaders believed the time was right for a new program and how it could improve the Fraternity.

P4B does differ from pledge programs of the past, with a revamp of the manual and lesson plans for the chapter’s Magister, or pledge educator, to take recruits through values-based experiential exercises and discussion about the Fraternity’s ideals. P4B also offers a uniform, online learning platform and differs in other ways from pledge programs of the past, as noted below.

BLENDED INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH

The P4B program represents the first time in the Fraternity’s history that it has taken a blended instructional approach with a pledge program, meaning that it aims to teach recruits through a combination of online learning and

face-to-face instruction or discussion.

“Blended learning attempts to meet learners on as many levels as possible,” says Elaine Palladino, the owner of Footprints Consulting Inc., who helped instructionally design the P4B program. The benefit of such an approach is that while one person may learn better from instruction that is more discussion-based, others will prefer to dig deeper into material on their own, which they can do by accessing P4B materials online, at their own pace. Palladino says that there are still others who will learn more effectively through kinesthetic learning, when their mind and body are engaged. It is with all of these needs in mind that the program’s experiential activities, discussion groups, online components and peer mentoring opportunities were designed, Palladino says.

Addressing all of these needs represents a change in how the Fraternity is educating its new members, says Sigma Chi International Fraternity executive director Michael Church, ILLINOIS 2005

“This is a major change because the scientific process of learning is driving the approach [of] our [pledge education] for the first time,” he says.

ONLINE COMPONENTS

Some components of P4B are housed on Sigma Chi U, the Fraternity’s online learning management system. Whereas pledges in the past learned about the Founders and Sigma Chi’s guiding documents, such as The Jordan Standard and The Sigma Chi Creed, solely from their copies of The Norman Shield reference manual and their Magisters, Sigma Chi U also offers recruits an avenue to learn about the Fraternity from key officials.

While reading a one-page biography in The Norman Shield of Founder Benjamin Piatt Runkle, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, for example, pledges on Sigma Chi

U also watch videos to hear about the circumstances that led Runkle and the other Founders to create Sigma Chi, and what drove Runkle to promote the welfare of freed slaves after the Civil War. These stories are told by the following Order of Constantine Sigs: Education and Leadership Board chairman Ed Spencer, ROCHESTER 1967; 62nd Grand Consul and 19th Grand Historian Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973; and P4B committee chairman Jim Holcomb, CAL. STATE-SACRAMENTO 1994 . Spencer and Carlson are also recipients of the Significant Sig Award.

Additionally, the videos offer in-depth knowledge that may have been previously

afforded only to chapters lucky enough to host a knowledgeable Fraternity luminary; now, it is available to every pledge.

CONSISTENCY AMONG CHAPTERS

Previously, Sigma Chi’s Magisters educated their chapters’ potential new members by crafting a lesson plan and schedule that they submitted to their Grand Praetor for approval. As a result, the particular details of pledge programs, including what was being taught each week and how, varied from chapter to chapter, says Jim Cogdal, BRADLEY 2003, senior director of membership development at Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters.

This meant that chapters may have inserted exercises into the pledge program that could have been considered hazing.

“A standardized pledge education program ends the decades-long debate about what is and isn’t considered hazing,” says Holcomb. “P4B does this by offering a genuine product free of those activities that break the spirit and destroy brotherhood. Instead, it offers value-centered education to our newest members, ensuring that they are prepared for lifelong brotherhood in Sigma Chi.”

THE ADDITION OF ONLINE PLEDGE TESTS

Under Sigma Chi’s former way of educating new members, a Magister and his assistants would administer paper tests to the chapter’s pledges each week, as well as the International Fraternity’s pledge test at the end of pledgeship. Each pledge class would gather in a common

Burger, Filippini and Patrick Hargarten have since been initiated into the chapter.

A New Pledgeship for a New Era

Alumni Leaders Work With P4B Pilot Chapters

Grand Praetors and advisors who work with undergraduate chapters that utilized Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) as a pilot program last academic year have seen what it can do for the Fraternity.

Steve Alfaro, CLEMSON 1993 , is chapter advisor for the undergraduates at his alma mater; Western North Carolina province Grand Praetor Chris Hicks, GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN 1996 , volunteered the chapter to take part in P4B. “I jumped at the chance to get them this kind of support and exposure,” Alfaro says. “I knew it would certainly beneﬁ t the chapter’s new Magister to have pre-designed lesson plans [for pledgeship that come with P4B].”

Alfaro says that by the spring 2016 semester, he could tell those within the chapter who used P4B were familiar with its online format where it is housed on Sigma Chi U. He says the undergraduates were also pleased with the streamlined process that came with utilizing the program online and with the content found there.

The materials on Sigma Chi U are, of course, used in conjunction with in-person discussion between pledges and their Magister. Experiential activities are also part of the program. Hicks says he believes P4B will ensure Sigma Chi’s values and ideals are front-and-center during pledgeship. He adds, “With the activities in the curriculum, this has the opportunity to be a real game changer.”

“I like that every chapter will be approaching their programs in a similar manner,” Alfaro says of the uniform program that all chapters began to use this fall. “This will allow for more consistency, but potentially great interaction among chapters within each province to see how each can develop even stronger experiential exercises and takeaways locally.”

Within the Kentucky province, there were four chapters that took part in the P4B pilot – Centre College, the University of Kentucky, Murray State University and Western Kentucky University. “We had a terriﬁ c experience with it overall,” says the province’s Grand Praetor Roy Martin, CENTRE 1979

location to take the tests simultaneously; for chapters that regularly recruit pledge classes of up to 50 members, these tasks require a great deal of advance planning and coordination to accommodate everyone’s schedules.

By contrast, the closed-note tests administered on Sigma Chi U are done in solitude in one’s own space, at his pace. This ensures that the pledge class’s group time can be utilized for in-depth discussion and candle passes in which the recruits can share their emotions. The tests are graded instantly by the learning management system, with each pledge given two opportunities to earn a passing grade, per the Governing Laws. This considerably lessens the workload of the Magister, who is responsible for evaluating and grading one essay question on each pledge’s test.

THE CREATION OF THE RITUAL BRIDGE

Fraternity officials tasked with designing the P4B curriculum had considered eliminating from the new program the days that led to initiation, or I-week, dispersing some of the week’s typical activities, which were intended to be inspirational, throughout the eight-week curriculum. The reason for doing so is that in the past, some chapters hazed their recruits during this week. They may have intimidated pledges or deprived them of communication and sleep, taking away from what was intended to be a self-reflective, inspirational week leading up to experiencing the Ritual. However, feedback from the program’s alpha and beta tests showed that many pledges felt that transitioning directly from pledgeship to initiation seemed abrupt, and that a reflection period akin to I-week was necessary. In response, the curriculum’s designers instituted the Ritual Bridge, which is a transition period leading up to the Ritual’s performance. The P4B committee chose to begin that period on the Wednesday prior to the initiation and added activities such as “Constantine the Great” to it. During the Ritual Bridge, Magisters guide potential new members through the process of preparing to experience the Ritual while affording them the opportunity to reflect upon their pledging experience.

EVALUATION OF LOCAL TRADITIONS

Many undergraduate chapters have had their own local traditions which may have been created by local chapter members and become part of the chapter’s unique

culture. While local traditions can be beneficial to learning local history, some may deviate from the intended, valuesbased learning approach of P4B. Others may include teaching that goes beyond that of the program’s core teachings, so much so that every pledge across North America may not experience the same quality of education in his approach toward initiation. However, the P4B committee recognized that many Sigma Chi chapters have rich histories — some dating back to their founding more than 150 years — that it needed to acknowledge. Thus, the Fraternity’s local activity review subcommittee came into being. Chapters were encouraged to submit their local activities to the subcommittee, and only approved ones could be used.

During the Ritual Bridge, Magisters guide potential new members through the process of preparing to experience the Ritual while affording them the opportunity to reﬂect upon their pledging experience.

“The subcommittee evaluated local activities that chapters [submitted] for approval on the basis of four criteria,” says Cogdal. “First, does [the activity] reflect our values? Second, is the learning that takes place during the activity necessary for a pledge to understand the Ritual? Third, does it have to occur during P4B? And fourth, can the event be replicated at all of Sigma Chi’s chapters?”

In total, Sigma Chi’s undergraduate chapters submitted a total of 385 activities and literary activities for review by the subcommittee for use in the fall 2016 term. Of the activities, 72 were deemed “chapter events,” meaning that chapters can utilize the activity, but not in the context of pledge education; and 11 were approved to enter the P4B curriculum; and 152 were determined to be nearly identical to those already incorporated into P4B, and thus the ones in the program curriculum

could be utilized with minimal differences. The subcommittee approved 41 literary exercises for use in the program.

BIG BROTHER PAIRING EARLIER IN PLEDGESHIP

Another aspect of P4B that its designers stress as important is the pairing of pledges with their Big Brothers in the first week of the program. Doing so is important, says Cogdal, due to the need many potential new brothers have for an anchoring presence at this point in their lives.

“The first couple of weeks in which a pledge has joined the Fraternity are crucial to his development,” he says. “It is certain that at some point, a pledge will need a brother who is a mentor and resource to help him through stressful times.”

Ryan McNew, CAL. STATE-FRESNO 2018 , pledged his chapter during the spring 2016 term and was educated under the P4B curriculum. He says that his Big Brother, Martin Cortez, 2016, made himself available to him if he ever had any questions about the Fraternity or life in general.

“When I get a little brother of my own, I want to be able to give him the same guidance and support that Martin gave me,” says McNew.

CONNECTING PLEDGES AND INITIATED MEMBERS

Members of the Preparation for Brotherhood committee had yet to receive the results of the effectiveness surveys they commissioned through third-party services during their Feb. 28, 2016, meeting in Evanston, Ill. However, the committee members assembled there had already heard undergraduates’ concerns that the absence within P4B of a pledgeto-brother interview program that many

chapters used prior to the new program had reduced the level of acquaintance between the two parties, says Cogdal.

It was at this meeting, he says, that committee members began to construct a model for a replacement component that would remain free of hazing. The resulting program, called Connections, is introduced to pledges concept in Sigma Chi U during course two, when they are also given its ground rules. For instance, conversations should occur somewhere on campus or at the chapter house between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., last for longer than 10 minutes, but no longer than one hour, and be centered around the specific Sigma Chi value and its accompanying question that is presented on Sigma Chi U each week.

Pledges are encouraged to make between three and five appointments with brothers each week, and to note the insights gleaned from the

conversations in the journal at the back of their Norman Shield.

A STRONGER ORGANIZATION

The new pledge program is one that the Fraternity believes will enhance recruits’ experiences as it reaches them through various methods, appealing to learners who digest and synthesize information in a variety of ways, whether those be through discussion groups or self-directed learning on Sigma Chi U. P4B allows new recruits the opportunity to hear from international leaders, such as past Grand Consuls, via video messages; this exposure is something that not every pledge may have been had previously. Ultimately, the new pledge program also brings a shared learning experience to all of the Fraternity’s chapters, allowing it to become stronger.

Magisters Provide Feedback

Three Magisters who led their chapter’s pledges through the new Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) program were among the first to see it in action and have advice to share.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MAGISTER, or pledge trainer, of each chapter to lead a class of new recruits through pledgeship. The beta test of Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) during the spring 2016 academic term provided Magisters across North America the opportunity to lead the program within their chapters, along with a 200-plus page support guide, or manual, and provide feedback to help further improve P4B.

Three of those Magisters offer their insight into their experiences with the program. They are Ben Spalding, GEORGIA TECH 2018; Eric Hargarten, LOYOLA (CHICAGO) 2016; and Trevor Gonzalez, TEXAS A&M-KINGSVILLE 2016

Ben Spalding, GEORGIA TECH 2018

Eric Hargarten, LOYOLA (CHICAGO) 2016

A chapter may be uneasy about making the change that comes with transitioning to a new pledge program. What advice would you give its Magister to help ease the concerns of the initiated brothers?

SPALDING: The Magister’s job is to prepare pledges for brotherhood, but an often-overlooked secondary responsibility is to ensure that the active brothers are informed about and assist with the goals of the Magister and the rest of the executive board. To ease brothers’ concerns about a new program, the Magister should emphasize the farsighted nature of a change like P4B. All brothers want to see the Fraternity survive, especially in a form we recognize. Assigning brothers to supporting tasks related to the pledge program will help them see long-term goals and invest their own effort and pride in the program’s success.

If university administrators and parents are aware of the new program, how have they responded to it?

HARGARTEN: Generally, university administrators and parents respond positively to the new program. My university saw that our Fraternity was taking proactive measures to prevent issues experienced by other fraternities. They are more comfortable with the whole program because they know that our guidelines are from Headquarters and we are transparent about activities. If any administrator or parent is skeptical, show them some videos from the online modules, and they will likely fall in love with Sigma Chi.

Trevor Gonzalez, TEXAS A&MKINGSVILLE 2016

How did you help assure your chapter brothers that the program would be beneficial to the chapter?

GONZALEZ: I believe this task is very chapter specific. For my own chapter, our pledge program was an area of our chapter that needed some work. It needed structure that could be repeatable past the current year’s Magister. P4B brought that to our chapter and then some. The program structure, Magister manual and Big Brother manual all spoke for themselves to my chapter.

What was the pledges’ favorite part of the program?

GONZALEZ: I asked some of my P4B pledges what their favorite part of the program was and there were some shared areas of interest. First, the pledge [class] meetings were highly favored by most of the pledges. The talks between myself and the pledges during pledge meetings were supplemental to what they were learning through the videos. The pledge [class] meetings helped the pledges show their emotions with Sigma Chi, and allowed them to ask any questions they had. P4B gave them the perfect platform to have open dialogue all about Sigma Chi, and allowed the pledges to be vulnerable with each other. The pledge meetings, hand-in-hand with the videos and experiential activities, made them excited and well prepared for the transition into brotherhood. The secondmost-favorite part of the program was the personal messages from notable Sigma Chis through the online videos and each chapter officer’s account of [his] officer role during pledge meetings. Every week a different chapter officer was invited to the pledge meetings to help facilitate a certain aspect of the P4B program.

Preparation for the Future

As chapters look forward to upcoming pledge classes to go through Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B), the following are steps to help prepare.

 Review the P4B materials you received at Balfour LTW with your Grand Praetor and chapter advisor before the next pledge term begins.

 Prior to beginning recruitment, host a Mission 365 recruitment training program to prepare all Big Brothers to identify possible little brothers for the Big Brother program launch in week one of P4B.

 Send a letter to your alumni on behalf of the chapter informing them of the values-based evolution of the pledge program and how it will operate at your chapter. Templates on what to say can be provided to you by the P4B committee.

 Incorporate the implementation of the P4B program into your 2016 to 2017 strategic plan. Begin working together as an officer team to ensure P4B’s success, not only this year, but in the future of the chapter.

 Meet with the entire chapter prior to recruitment to review the new format and structure of the program.

 Deliver a copy of the P4B curriculum to your school’s Greek-letter life advisor and review it with them.

By Will Steele, WESTERN ILLINOIS 2011

THIS FALL, SIGMA CHI INTERNATIONAL FRATERNITY IS implementing the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge education program, or P4B, at each of its undergraduate chapters. This follows its success as a pilot program at various chapters in the 2015 to 2016 academic year*, and the positive reception it garnered from host institutions. The implementation of the program comes at a time when Greek-letter organizations are under such scrutiny for potential hazing and other conduct violations that in recent years, some fraternities removed pledgeship from their members’ experiences. Sigma Chi has instead responded by revamping its pledge process into a streamlined, eight-module program that features online content housed on the Sigma Chi U learning management system and a structure of weekly pledge meetings, tests and experiential activities that creates consistency throughout its 242 undergraduate chapters.

The Fraternity conducted alpha and beta testing of P4B at a total of 48 chapters last academic year in order to address

concerns and tweak the program before unveiling it to the General Fraternity. Months after the undergraduate chapter at the University of Kentucky deployed P4B to its pledges, university officials presented it the Outstanding Chapter Growth award for excellence in recruitment, education and retention of members “to promote growth and stability” of the organization. The chapter bested 20 other campus fraternities to win the honor. Likewise, the Centre College undergraduate chapter received the Outstanding Fraternity New Member Program Award from its university in spring 2016 for its use of P4B.

The University of Kentucky chapter implemented the new pledge program following an Aug. 27, 2015, membership review in which 99 of the 141 brothers remained in good standing with the Fraternity. Others were moved to suspended alumni status (SAS), meaning that they could no longer have contact with the members who were in good standing, either because they opted out of the review or because they went through it and were subsequently placed on SAS. The General Fraternity held the

review due to allegations of hazing within the chapter.

Kentucky province Grand Praetor Roy Martin, CENTRE 1979, made many in-person visits to the chapter and met with university personnel to help brothers improve the chapter. He supported the chapter as it implemented P4B.

Emily Perrin Britt, assistant director of fraternity and sorority affairs at the University of Kentucky, says she believes the pledge program had a definite role in improving member education and retention: “I think the Preparation for Brotherhood program really turned the chapter’s attitude around about what new member education can look like and how you don’t have to do things that aren’t in line with your values to make sure that men are prepared for brotherhood … that you can have testing points and challenging new member curriculum that’s totally in line with what the organization stands for.”

“[P4B] helps to alleviate some of the anxiety that campus administrators sometimes have about fraternity new member education,” explains Evan Ditty, coordinator of Greek-letter life and student leadership programs at Murray State University,

In particular, Perrin Britt stressed that it was the realization by undergraduates that adopting P4B did not mean giving up their chapter’s identity that allowed for its successful implementation. “I think the new program really helped them understand that being in line with the national organization and the university expectations doesn’t mean that they don’t get to have the chapter that they want to have,” she says.

However, the chapter did show early apprehension about the program. “Many people thought that it was not going to be as effective in making new members appreciate our Fraternity, so there was some negative reaction initially,” says William Tompkins, KENTUCKY 2016, who was Consul at the time, adding that it was incredible to see how people who went through P4B and were initiated were just as, if not more, committed to Sigma Chi and its ideals than were older brothers who did not go through the program.

Tompkins says the relations between the chapter and its host institution improved with the implementation of P4B. “We were able to give them everything that we were going to do beforehand — the program was an open book — so I think they [university officials] loved that transparency,” he explains.

Likewise, Evan Ditty, coordinator of Greek-letter life and student leadership programs at Murray State University, says that P4B helped ease his concerns. Martin volunteered the chapter to beta test the program. “[P4B] helps to alleviate some of the anxiety that campus administrators sometimes have about fraternity new member education,” explains Ditty. “So knowing that the men are following the program takes away some of the anxiety that I might have felt about the new member process.”

Centre College Undergraduates Noted for P4B Program

The Centre College chapter took part in the program’s beta test phase in the spring 2016 academic term. Subsequently, the college’s student life office awarded the undergraduate chapter its award for Outstanding New Member Education Program in the spring of 2016, after it had implemented P4B. The chapter utilized it following disciplinary action by both the Chapter and Member Accountability Committee (CAMAC) and Centre College in 2015. “It was a night-andday difference in terms of the improvement of their new member education program [over the previous one],” says Alycia Tidrick, director of Greek-letter life and new student orientation at Centre College. She adds that the school liked the way P4B complemented its own leadership development efforts. “Overall it seemed to go

Spring recruitment was a success for our brothers, as we acquired 12 pledges thanks to the leadership shown by recruitment chairman Thomas Freedman, 2018 . On April 10, we held a powder puff football tournament for the university’s sororities and women’s fraternities, with the money raised going to charity. The following weekend, we volunteered at a local church to help them set up for their rummage sale. Finally, we put a lot of effort into producing a well-choreographed and funny skit to perform during Greek Week, and we later returned to the church to help clean up the items they didn’t sell at the rummage sale.

We hosted the chapter’s first Derby Days philanthropic event event in almost 20 years at the end of the spring 2016 semester. In raising more than $13,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, it’s hard to argue that Derby Days isn’t one of the chapter’s greatest accomplishments since its reinstallation three years ago. At the end of the spring semester, the chapter elected its first group of executive officers that does not include a brother who was initiated at our installation. The chapter’s main goals for the fall 2016 semester include recruiting a strong pledge class and improving our Homecoming tailgate event.

We were proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our chapter’s founding in April, and welcomed more than 500 undergraduates and alumni to attend the celebration. It was a great opportunity to relive old memories and rekindle the passion that Sigma Chi brought about to so many of the brothers that came through our chapter. We had just initiated nine brothers from our Delta Sigma pledge class into

the Fraternity at the time of this writing, and we are excited to see what new ideas and innovations they will bring to us in the semesters to come.

We are proud to join the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s $20K Club, as a result of raising about $25,000 during our Derby Days philanthropic event. We planned to send two brothers to attend the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit this summer, and we look forward to seeing how they continue to develop the skills they learned while there. The new Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program allowed our potential new members to forge strong bonds between each other and the chapter’s initiated brothers.

The brothers of our chapter enjoyed a great 2015 to 2016 school year, and have bright prospects for the upcoming year. Under the guidance of Magisters Danny Caveney, 2017, and Nima Shajarian, 2017, we initiated 24 young men into the Fraternity, and the brothers welcomed them into the brotherhood. Our Derby Days philanthropic event took place from March 6 to 12 and raised more than $15,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Camp Kesem Berkeley. Now, we look forward to another successful year in which we will advance the interests of our chapter, the brotherhood and Sigma Chi.

California-Davis Theta Omicron

Our chapter began the winter 2016 quarter with an amazing recruitment effort that led to our bringing six of the most well-rounded initiates our chapter has seen into the brotherhood. Additionally, a plethora of brothers have received acceptances from the most prestigious graduate schools in the nation. Our annual winter philanthropic event and participation in other organizations’ philanthropic efforts were successful in what we accomplished as a group, and we looked forward to further exemplifying our dedication to charity by making it our goal to raise more than $20,000 through our next Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Tyler Peterson, 2019

California-Irvine Eta Sigma

After hosting a successful Derby Days philanthropic event, our brothers worked hard to participate in the philanthropic and campus service events hosted by other Greek-letter chapters. Doing so allowed us to promote our community outreach efforts. Our spring 2016 pledge class diligently followed the guidelines of the Preparation for Brotherhood program, and we looked forward to welcoming them

into the Fraternity as newly initiated members. Our biggest alumni event of the year took place in May, and we could not have been more excited to spend time with the brothers who laid the great foundation for our chapter.

As we approached the fall 2016 semester, we were happy with all the success we’ve experienced in recent months. We initiated an exceptional class of 13 men into Sigma Chi whose members elevate The Jordan Standard to a new level, and we trust that they will carry our chapter to greater success. Our Derby Days philanthropic event raised more than $8,500, beating the record fundraising total of last year’s event. Also, we sent two brothers to attend this past summer’s Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit. We look forward to seeing what they bring back to the chapter this fall to strengthen our brotherhood.

Our brothers continue to pursue success after having completed an extremely successful recruitment week. The chapter rallied the support of its alumni and the campus’ sororities and women’s fraternities to garner extreme levels of interest and participation in this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event, which we hoped would set a new fundraising record. We are also on a winning streak in regard to our participation in sorority and women’s fraternity’s philanthropic events, having won three consecutive contests through our fundraising, volunteer and talent show efforts. We also looked forward to hosting the Mission 365 recruitment training program to heighten our recruitment success this fall.

After a long and relaxing summer, we were ready to return to school and hit the ground running. During the summer, five of our brothers traveled to the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, and our brothers who play for the university’s baseball team earned a trip to the NCAA Division III playoffs. We earned a 3.399 spring 2016 GPA, which exceeded the all-fraternity and all-men’s averages, and a few of our brothers are working toward their master’s degrees as undergraduates. All of us are looking

forward to another successful year in academics and athletics.

Thanks to the support of our fellow Greek-letter organizations as well as the university community, we raised enough money for the police to purchase a new bomb-sniffing dog. We also claimed the “Most Improved” trophy at Knight-Thon, which is the university’s largest student-run philanthropic event. Each participant raised a minimum of $200 and stood for 20 hours in stalwart support of local hospitalized children, with the money benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Central Michigan Zeta Rho

Last spring, we initiated 13 new brothers into Sigma Chi, bringing the chapter’s membership to 75 brothers. Additionally, we paired with the sisters of the Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity for Greek Week, through which the Greek-letter community raised $65,000 for the Derrick Nash Strong Foundation. We sent eight brothers to attend last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, and we hoped that they would have a positive experience that would help us to improve our organization. Now,

we look forward to celebrating the 50th anniversary of our chapter’s founding on April 29, 2017.

~Rick Adams, 2018

Centre Zeta Zeta

The brothers of our chapter are looking forward to taking on a new academic year and continuing the success that the previous year brought to us. We expected to start the 2016 to 2017 academic year with 12 fewer members in our chapter than we had last year, and wish those now-graduated brothers nothing but success in the months and years to come. This December marks the 140th anniversary of our chapter’s founding, and our members are excited to commemorate that achievement alongside chapter alumni.

~Dylan Spencer, 2017

Chicago Omicron Omicron

Rain, snow, and the trademark Chicago wind did not stop our chapter from achieving its goal of raising more than $20,000 through our Derby Days philanthropic event. The chapter is also pleased to announce the initiation of the nine talented gentlemen of the Mu pledge class, who became members of Sigma Chi on April 16. While the vitality of our Greek-letter community is in a precarious position given the campus climate, we believe that our brothers can be beacons of leadership and responsibility by upholding their commitment to civil engagement, including our ongoing community service projects, and their dedication to safety and risk management.

~Felipe Bomeny, 2019

Cincinnati Zeta Psi

Last spring, we earned a 3.31 chapter GPA, good for third-best among Interfraternity Council chapters on campus. We hosted a Mission 365 recruitment training workshop and welcomed members of the university’s student safety board to further educate our brothers on ways that they can avoid taking risks. In addition, we welcomed James Schwyn, 2013 , as our new chapter advisor, and eagerly look forward to recruiting our next class of brothers this fall.

~Brandon Livengood, 2018

After what we expected to be a productive summer, all of our brothers are ready to tackle the new semester.

We expect to recruit a sizeable pledge class, and with Andrew Monger, 2017, and Joseph Lillard, 2018 , serving as president and community relations chairman of the Interfraternity Council’s executive board, respectively, we are looking to improve the quality of the entire Greekletter community. Thanks to the addition of a new adviser to the fraternity and sorority community, we are sure that good things will come to us soon.

The brothers of our chapter have been busy during the past few months raising money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute and volunteering in our local community. This summer, we were privileged to have eight of our brothers attend the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, and this fall, we will attempt to double the amount of funds we raised through our previous Derby Days philanthropic event by increasing community involvement and participation. Our chapter earned a 2.99 spring 2016 GPA, which ranked fifth among nine Interfraternity Council chapters.

~Colton Weaver, 2016

Cumberland Nu

April 29, 2016, was a historic day for our chapter, as Dr. Paul Stumb, AUBURN 1982 , was inaugurated as the 26th president of Cumberland University. We are proud to have him leading our school, and for him to be a part of our chapter’s close relations with local alumni. Under Dr. Stumb’s leadership of the university, we expect our chapter to flourish in the coming years. We have high hopes for our fall recruitment, as we expected to graduate about half of our members last May.

~Nicholas Prall, 2016

Dalhousie-St. Mary’s Gamma Rho

Our brothers entered last summer ready to soak up the sun, and to embrace the chapter’s Mission 365 recruitment training workshop in full swing. Our inaugural softball tournament in support of the Huntsman Cancer Institute took place on May 14, and we began preparations for our first Derby Days philanthropic event in three years, which will take place this fall. We looked forward to sending brothers to the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit and Balfour Leadership Training Workshop that took place this summer. We’d also like to share a special shout-out to all of the alumni who helped brothers find employment this summer.

~Jesse Laufer, 2016

Denison Mu

After finishing a successful and eventful spring term, the men of our chapter geared up for the fastapproaching summer and subsequent fall semester. Despite graduating a strong class of seniors who led the chapter with distinction, we are confident and excited about the fall as well as our recent successes in hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event. With several brothers on the lacrosse team, which looked likely to make a deep run into the NCAA tournament, we hoped to wrap up the spring on a high note that would set us up for a successful and action-packed fall.

~Corey Chapman, 2016

Denver Delta Iota

Our chapter had another successful year, particularly in regard to our academics and philanthropy. Our chapter’s collective GPA rose every quarter of the 2015 to 2016 school year, and in the spring, we raised more than $47,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, setting a new chapter record. In addition, the Interfraternity Council (IFC) awarded our chapter its innovation award, and Clayton Shaver, 2016, and Samuel Nobrega, 2018

won the IFC’s Unsung Hero and New Member of the Year awards, respectively. We are excited for the direction in which our chapter is heading, and we look forward to the upcoming school year.

~Nobrega

Our brothers had the honor and privilege of initiating 26 new members of Sigma Chi into the chapter last spring. With several honor students and athletes in the ranks of our 157th pledge class, we are excited to see their futures unfold before our very eyes.

Our chapter recently became the first fraternity on campus to earn certification from Green Dot, an organization that focuses on encouraging bystander intervention to combat sexual assault. Additionally, we’ve worked to renovate our chapter house by installing a new side patio that many brothers are excited to use.

~Robert Sherman, 2018

Duke Beta Lambda

We proudly initiated 17 new members into Sigma Chi last spring, and were excited to introduce them to our graduated brothers during Duke’s alumni weekend. Many former members of the chapter attended the event, and we had a great time reconnecting with them. Soon afterward, we travelled to Asheville, N.C., for our formal, and John Washburn, 1969, graciously hosted us. Finally, Eli Lichtenberg, 2016, was inducted into the Order of Omega for embodying fraternal values. We offer our congratulations to him, and wish the best of luck to our graduated seniors.

~Samuel Brougher, 2018

Thanks to the event’s participating sororities and women’s fraternities, brothers and pledges, we were able to successfully aid the Huntsman Cancer Institute in its fight to eradicate cancer.

~Trevor Romans, 2018

Lastly, we would like to congratulate and wish the best of luck to our 11 graduating brothers as they begin a new chapter in their lives.

~Blake Higdon, 2018

Eastern New Mexico Zeta Sigma

We recently initiated three members into the Fraternity. We also planned to host a golf tournament on June 25 and to pin our fall 2016 pledge class on Aug. 2. Now, we look forward to initiating them into Sigma Chi on Nov. 4. We decided to host our Derby Days philanthropic event in the fall rather than the spring; it was to take place from Sept. 11 to 16. We also looked forward to hosting a Fight Night event on Oct. 1. A portion of the money we raised was to go to our philanthropic partners, while the rest would go to the chapter. Finally, our haunted house fundraiser will occur from Oct. 29 to 31.

~Travis Connell, 2019

Elon Theta Omega

We initiated 13 new members into Sigma Chi last spring, and we are proud that each of them are worthy of membership in the Fraternity.

The chapter hosted another successful Derby Days philanthropic event, and we reached our goal of raising $20,000 for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

~James Mizvesky, 2018

We are certain that the fall 2016 semester will hold a great number of challenges and triumphs for our chapter.

~Zachary Edwards, 2019

Florida International Lambda Iota

As we planned to begin our fall 2016 semester, we looked back on what an extraordinary spring we had in initiating 11 men into the Fraternity. We elected Hector De Castro, 2018 , Consul; he has the same ideals and goals that the chapter strives to attain. Our brothers broke the mold last spring as our chapter conducted the university’s first-ever Run Derby 5K, as well as our Derby Days philanthropic event, which yielded a record-setting $36,000 for charity. Also, Alex Bornote, 2018 , was elected senator of the College of Arts and Sciences, an esteemed position at the university.

~Brian Lastra, 2019

Florida Southern Epsilon Sigma

Our chapter’s most recent Derby Days philanthropic event was successful as we rallied around Patrick Wilson, 2018 , who was diagnosed with sarcoma during spring break. As chemotherapy began to cause him to lose his hair, several brothers participated in a fundraiser through which they shaved their heads bald. The 2015 to 2016 school year showed our brothers what it truly means to be there for each other, and has given us all a deeper appreciation of what it means to be a Sigma Chi.

~Ryan Sullivan, 2017

Fort Hays Zeta Tau

Last spring, our chapter won another of the Interfraternity Council’s (IFC) Philanthropy and Community Service awards, and also claimed the IFC Academic Achievement Award.

~Jackson Dumont, 2018

A College in Fairfax, Va. Iota Xi

Despite the sudden and heartbreaking loss of our dear brother and Magister John O’Reilly, 2016, who

entered into the Chapter Eternal in October 2015, we have come together stronger than ever before.

We will never forget the O’Reilly sense of duty and pride that he brought to our chapter every day.

~Scott Doescher, 2016

The chapter’s executive board has continued to flourish by adding social chairman Matt Creonte, 2018 , and house manager Eddie Abascal, 2019, to its ranks.

~Jordan Dale, 2018

At the time of this writing, we looked forward to welcoming the members of a new pledge class into our chapter, and to initiating them into the Fraternity. We have also enjoyed working alongside Recovery Dawgs, an organization founded by Sterrett Woods, 2017, that offers a support system for college-aged individuals facing drug or alcohol abuse. We have enjoyed living in our new chapter house; thank you to all of the parents and alumni whose support and contributions made it possible. Finally, we invite you to stop by our tailgate parties before cheering on the Dawgs this fall.

~Tommy McGlone, 2017

~Mason Havens, 2017

Georgia Southwestern Eta Theta

We had a successful spring 2016 semester that included a Boston-Butt cookout, our Sweetheart Ball, Parents Day, and a strong end to finals. Also, we have a new executive council, and are expecting great outcomes from the chapter’s new leaders. Those brothers who attended last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop were excited for their opportunities, and looked forward to implementing what they learned into the chapter’s operations. We

hosted multiple events during the summer to bring in a new fall recruitment class.

~James Millwood, 2018

We are excited to improve our chapter further during the fall 2016 semester.

~Sullivan

Hanover Chi

During the 2015 to 2016 academic year, we initiated 18 brothers into Sigma Chi, marking our largest initiating class in more than a decade. It is only from the continued dedication of every brother that we were able to accomplish this feat. We recently raised more than $500 by making pizzas and delivering them to our campus. Additionally, we were proud to send one of our brothers to attend last summer’s Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit. We also looked forward to hosting another successful Derby

Days philanthropic event. We continue to earn the best fraternity GPA at our college.

The spring 2016 semester was one of change and growth for our brothers. After initiating our largest pledge class yet into Sigma Chi, our brothers focused on furthering their own brotherhood and taking the initiative to continue refining our pledge process. We also greatly expanded the responsibilities of our Tribune, integrating the position into an alumni relations role in order to tighten the bonds between our members and alumni. As always, our brothers have continued to involve themselves in campus and cultural organizations while engaging in community service. We look forward to what the fall semester brings for our organization.

~Sun-Ui Yum, 2018

Hillsdale Alpha Kappa

With newly instituted chapter legislation in place, our chapter’s top officers will transition from terms based on the school year to ones based on the calendar year, in order to improve our leadership succession processes. In addition, the chapter made big plans for renovations we anticipated making to the chapter house during the summer. With all of the activity and improvements happening to our organization, the chapter has set a precedent for openness in creating new customs. We were ready to work through any challenges that the transition to a new pledge program, Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program, could create.

~Daniel Bellet, 2016

Hobart Alpha Alpha

We were delighted to be reinstalled as a chapter on April 9, and look forward to the next steps we will take as we pursue our organization’s growth. Hannah Brooks has become our first chapter sweetheart, and we are excited to have her help this fall in developing and implementing a well-functioning sweetheart program. We will still reside in our lakefront chapter house during the 2016 to 2017 school year, and will maintain our efforts to regain our old chapter house. Finally, we co-sponsored Relay For Life, which raised roughly $4,000 for the American Cancer Society.

~Matthew Skinner, 2017

Our brothers were excited to receive 12 awards at the university’s Greek Awards ceremony, including the awards for outstanding community service and president of the year.

~Vito Cali, 2017

Illinois Wesleyan Alpha Iota

At the time of this writing, we expected our spring 2016 GPA to exceed what we earned during fall 2015. Partly because of our hard work in and out of the classroom, our chapter was chosen to accept the university’s award for fraternity chapter of the year. Additionally, for the second consecutive year, one of our brothers was elected president of the Interfraternity Council, as Jack Ferguson, 2016, takes on the role vacated by Conner Builta, 2016.

Iowa State Beta Omicron

Last spring, we hosted our first Sigma Chi food philanthropic event and found it to be a great success, raising almost $4,000 advancing the cause of For Daughters, a local charity benefiting women in Haiti. We hope this will become a recurring event in the years to come, and a staple of the Greek-letter community’s philanthropic efforts at Iowa State University. With the initiation of our eight-member spring pledge class into the Fraternity and the graduation of four seniors, our numbers remain strong and set us up for a prosperous fall semester.

~Spencer Tinsman, 2016

This year’s Derby Days philanthropic event went very smoothly, and we ended the week’s events with a charity concert featuring local bands. Now, our brothers are using Derby Days' success as a base from which to build and add more events. We initiated two new brothers into Sigma Chi on April 30, and we are also becoming more proactive in increasing our presence on the campus, with a focus on engaging with new students.

Marquette Iota Pi

The brothers of the Iota Pi chapter finished the spring semester on a strong note. Having recently initiated a class of 20 freshmen and sophomores into the Fraternity, we are excited for the new talents these brothers can bring to our chapter in the upcoming school year. We planned to strengthen our risk management policy over the summer to foster a stronger collaboration with the university. Coming off one of our most successful years in terms of our philanthropic efforts, we are working to capitalize on that momentum to raise even more money during the 2016 to 2017 school year.

Last spring, our brothers again qualified for the university’s President’s Cup Award, recognizing the best fraternity on campus. The spring also marked the completion of our Derby Days philanthropic event and our inaugural Volley for the Kids volleyball tournament, in which we raised more than $4,000 for the children’s hospital at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Now, we look forward to celebrating the 75th anniversary of our chapter’s founding with a gala celebration on May 20, 2017, at the College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. On Oct. 1, we will be pleased to host our Homecoming tailgate party outside of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

In recent months, we partnered with the sisters of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity to host our annual Puppies on the Porch philanthropic event.

The event raised more than $5,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. In addition, we initiated 16 new members into Sigma Chi from our Xi pledge class, representing our largest winter pledge class ever. We look forward to continuing this positive momentum into the fall 2016 semester.

~Zachary Hirt, 2017

Last spring, we partnered with our local Walgreens store to host a philanthropic barbecue event for our fraternity and sorority community, with all of the money raised at the event going toward multiple charitable organizations. Our chapter has stayed active within the university and local community by participating on intramural sports teams, volunteering at local food shelters and a marathon and holding leadership positions in various student groups. We recently said farewell to the graduating members of our senior class, and the chapter looks forward to their future accomplishments.

The brothers of our chapter congratulate Austin Powell, 2017, on his election as president of the associated student body for the duration of the 2016 to 2017 school year. We are excited about fall recruitment and are confident in our recruitment chairmen’s ability to identify men of good character for consideration as members of our Fraternity. As the fall semester continues, we are interested in taking on an expanded role in campus leadership through addressing issues such as the role of inclusive language on campus. We also applaud the hard work our executive officers have put in since the beginning of their terms.

~Powell

Mississippi State Gamma Upsilon

Our chapter’s most recent Derby Days philanthropic event, led by Derby Daddy Lee Peeples, 2016, broke a chapter fundraising record by bringing in $100,000 for the Catch-A-Dream Foundation and $1,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We were also honored to welcome International Sweetheart Kelsey Maggard, who visited our chapter during Derby Days.

~Will Basden, 2018

Missouri S&T Theta Eta

We have made recruitment a big focus for our chapter in 2016. With this commitment in mind, the chapter voted to increase membership dues in order to triple its recruitment budget. This money is going toward our new summer recruitment events that will include a barbecue and a float trip, among others. Along with the production of new brochures and banners, these changes will help keep our chapter healthy and thriving in the future. Lastly, our Derby Days philanthropic event was a success that raised more than $4,300, exceeding last year’s fundraising total.

~Jared Flood, 2017

Missouri State Eta Kappa

Our chapter improved its campus presence last spring by actively participating in Greek Week and philanthropic activities, thanks to the diligent effort of every brother. We enjoyed marking the 45th anniversary of our chapter’s founding in April, when we welcomed more than 200 chapter alumni back to campus for a celebration full of brotherhood and reminiscing. We acknowledged their success by handing out our own chapter-specific Significant Sig awards. We look forward to increasing the size of our brotherhood and further improving our presence on campus in the coming semester.

Missouri-Columbia Xi Xi

Our brothers raised $20,000 through the chapter’s annual charity hockey game, and we suspected that our Derby Days philanthropic event and sweetheart ball would be great ways to cap off the spring 2016 semester. We planned to initiate an outstanding group of 15 new brothers into Sigma Chi who hail from seven cities. Our grades exceeded the university’s all-male average, which was an accomplishment that the university recognized by awarding us a banner to hang outside of our chapter house. We appreciate the help of all of the chapter’s alumni who helped us make the spring semester a success.

~Reilly Manz, 2017

MIT Alpha Theta

Our brothers are pleased to announce that we have accepted the Interfraternity Council’s Chapter of the Year Award, and the organization also recognized our risk management team’s outstanding performance with its Risk Management Team of the Year Award.

We have consistently been leaders on campus in raising awareness regarding the issue of campus sexual assault, and were on pace last spring to receive gold certification from the university’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month committee.

~Jack Dulsky, 2018

Montana Beta Delta

As the spring 2016 semester came to a close and we hosted our Derby Days philanthropic event, the members of our chapter worked to maintain their philanthropic efforts in our campus and our community. We had collected roughly $700 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the time of this writing, and had also initiated two new brothers into Sigma Chi. We look forward to seeing them take on roles within the chapter to enhance their fraternal experience and carry on our legacy as we approach our 110th anniversary in September.

~Jared Maynard, 2018

This spring, we initiated seven new members into Sigma Chi, bringing our total of initiates during the 2015 to 2016 school year to 27.

~Mark McFarland, 2017

The chapter’s spring was filled with excitement for our Derby Days philanthropic event, led by Colin Hill, 2017, and the farewells we said to the graduating seniors who helped bring our organization back to life. Thien Chau, 2016; Josh Johnson, 2016; and Alex Moore, 2016; were each recognized at the university’s Greek Awards ceremony. Meanwhile, our expectations for ourselves regarding the chapter’s GPA remained high. We were excited to see what the summer and fall months would bring to us.

Last spring, we recruited 10 great men whom we initiated into our Order on April 23, and our annual weeklong Derby Days philanthropic event attracted more than 160 participants. We set a Derby Days fundraising goal of $20,000, and by the end of the event, we had exceeded that aim by collecting more than $28,000. The university recognized the event’s excellence by honoring us with the award for best fraternity or sorority philanthropic event of the year.

Receiving an award for earning the best fraternity GPA last fall set an appropriate tone for the remainder of the 2015 to 2016 school year. We placed in the final points standings of the university’s Greek Week competition, raised $4,000 through our philanthropic events and received awards for academic achievement and outstanding campus leadership and involvement.

~Wilson Lovelace, 2018

Last spring, we initiated five new members into Sigma Chi and look forward to their positive impact on campus, in the Fraternity and in the chapter. We also raised more than $23,000 through our Derby Days philanthropic event in April, thanks in large part to the leadership of Derby Days chairman James Ridinger, 2017. Its success has driven us to host an even better event next year that raises even more money for charity. All Derby Days proceeds benefited the Frankie Lemmon School and Development Center, which is a local school for children with disabilities.

~Nicholas Fattorini, 2018

North Carolina-Chapel Hill Alpha Tau

We have made many improvements in recent months to our chapter house in coordination with the house corporation and Risk Management Foundation.

Our Derby Days philanthropic event chairmen are hard at work preparing for another successful year. Finally, Samuel Green, 2017, was inaugurated as vice president of the student body, and Matthew Mengert, 2018 , was elected the Interfraternity Council’s vice president of public relations.

~Connor Brooks, 2018

Last spring, we initiated the members of our latest pledge class into the Fraternity and welcomed them as a group of future leaders of Sigma Chi.

We plan on facilitating similar events often, and hopefully on a much larger scale.

~Joseph Frederick, 2017

North Dakota State Gamma Tau

We recently welcomed Chris Brakke, 2017; Carter Powley, 2018; and Mario Jimenez Jr., 2019; into our brotherhood, and the chapter earned the best GPA of any fraternity or sorority chapter on campus. Brookston Mathern, 2018 , accepted the award for new member of the year at the most recent Greek Awards ceremony. Social chairman Alex Reimers, 2018 , led the chapter in revamping our Derby Days philanthropic event, which drastically increased the level of campus involvement in the event. Finally, Spencer Moir, 2017, has been elected president of the student body.

~Franklin Berg, 2016

North Texas Iota Phi

This fall, we are excited to host our annual Fight Night philanthropic event. Our new executive officers are settling into their positions nicely, as they had the summer to become acquainted with their new roles. The chapter’s spring 2016 initiates are eager to take on new positions within the organization, and are continuing their growth in the chapter and the classroom. Last, we would like to thank our house corporation for the improvements it helped make to our chapter house over the summer, including new air conditioning units and smaller cosmetic repairs.

~Jason Felts, 2018

Northern Colorado Epsilon Pi

Our brothers were privileged to initiate 26 new members into Sigma Chi during the 2015 to 2016 school year, which nearly doubled our chapter’s membership. Matt Magoon, 2018 , and Dalton Rush, 2018 , took on positions within the Interfraternity Council, and both planned to attend last summer’s Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit, as well. After celebrating our 58th year on campus, we still strive to improve by hosting and participating in philanthropic events such as Derby Days, Bears Go Bald and Relay for Life. We are excited for the year ahead, as the chapter’s new executive officers have already hit the ground running.

~Jacob Tyson, 2019

Northwestern Omega

We initiated 29 new members into the Fraternity on April 2, and the ceremony was well-attended by alumni and brothers attending nearby universities. Twenty-three of our brothers and pledges participated in the university’s annual Dance

Marathon competition, which benefited Blessings in a Backpack, an organization that helps feed hungry schoolchildren. We paired with the sisters of the Alpha Phi International Fraternity for the event and came in second-place in fundraising among all teams, raising $104,000 for the cause. Jack Goergen, 2017, was honored as the first recipient of the inaugural John Thumel Memorial Scholarship; we established it in honor of John Thumel, 2015, who entered into the Chapter Eternal in July 2015.

~Michael Weston, 2018

Ohio Delta Pi

After almost two years of hard work, our brothers finally completed the rigorous colony process when we were reinstalled on March 19, 2016, before 125 alumni witnesses. That day, 47 honorable men of our chapter were welcomed into Sigma Chi’s brotherhood. Following this incredible achievement, our brothers continued to show their ambitious purposes by winning the university’s Greek Week competition and finishing as the runner-up for the university’s award for fraternity of the year. Now, we can’t help but look forward to fall recruitment, our Derby Days philanthropic event and our first initiation ceremony since being reinstalled.

~John Brownlee, 2017

Ohio State Alpha Gamma

Last spring, we looked forward to welcoming a large pledge class into our brotherhood and are excited to see what contributions this promising group will bring to our chapter. Our main priority for the spring 2016 semester was preparing for our Derby Days philanthropic event. We had a very exciting week planned, and aimed to raise a substantial amount of money to donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute and contribute to Sigma Chi’s mission to end cancer.

~Benjamin McMillan, 2018

Oklahoma Beta Kappa

Our brothers had a great level of participation in this year’s Big Event, which is the university’s campuswide day of volunteering. We spent the 2016 Big Event volunteering at a local school; the chapter’s brothers planted flowers in the front flower bed, painted walls inside and outside of the building and helped create and arrange decorations. The chapter’s members had a good time, and the school was able to make improvements and take major steps forward that would have not been possible without the help that we provided.

~Mackenzie Milburn, 2019

Oklahoma State Gamma Delta

During the spring 2016 semester, we initiated five new brothers into Sigma Chi under the auspices of the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program. We found the program to be quite successful, and our brothers were widely accepting of it. Now, we look forward to recruiting a large fall pledge class in order to truly see the benefits of this new program. In addition, we are proud of Order of Constantine Sig

Shel Detrick, 1958 , who received a 2016 Significant Sig Award, and Joe Porter, 1964 , who was inducted into the Order of Constantine this year.

~Andrew Mason, 2018

Oregon Beta Iota

Our brothers earned a 3.185 GPA for the winter 2016 term, placing our brotherhood among the top academic chapters on campus. Thanks to the involvement of our local community and the university’s fraternities and sororities, this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event brought the Make-A-Wish Foundation $60,000. We set several goals during the spring 2016 term, which included recruiting our first spring pledge class since 2001 and establishing stronger alumni relations. Now, we look to continue improving and developing into a model chapter.

~William Genske, 2017

Oregon State Beta Pi

The chapter was wrapping up its officer transitions at the time of this writing, having completed the strategic plan we formed at the beginning of the 2015 to 2016 academic year. Brendan Simpson, 2017, and Andrew Rice, 2017, will serve as our Consul and Pro Consul, respectively, during the 2016 to 2017 school year. We are thankful for Rich Rice, 1987, who is coordinating with alumni to provide mentorship opportunities to undergraduates.

~Matthew Geniza, 2012

This past spring, we had the most successful Derby Days philanthropic event in our chapter’s history, raising more than $15,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

We would also like to congratulate Alexa Halliwell on her election as our chapter sweetheart for the 2016 to 2017 academic year. Last, congratulations are in order for the members of our Lambda pledge class on their initiation into Sigma Chi.

~Alejandro Orozco, 2016

Our most recent Derby Days philanthropic event raised a chapter-record $12,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, thanks in large part to a live “benefit bash” concert that wrapped up the week’s festivities. Recent graduate and former Consul Nick Branson, 2016, accepted the university’s Greek Man of the Year Award at the annual Standards of Excellence awards ceremony. Our brothers now look forward to this fall’s Homecoming weekend, which will include the Tiger Olympic competition, a lip sync

dance battle and a float parade. Homecoming is a great opportunity for us to showcase our strong brotherhood.

~Shawn Lothman, 2018

Penn State Alpha Chi

The chapter initiated eight new brothers into Sigma Chi last spring, increasing our membership to 35.

~Maxwell Miller, 2018

Pennsylvania Phi Phi

Our brothers recruited a fantastic group of new brothers last spring who are prepared to become contributing members of our chapter. Our Derby Days philanthropic event was extremely successful, and with the support of our alumni, we had high hopes of joining the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s $20K Club last summer. We especially thank philanthropy chairmen Justin Morena, 2017, and Kyle Kroeger, 2017, as well as Significant Sig, Order of Constantine Sig and 58th Grand Consul Murray McComas, 1958 , for their invaluable help in meeting our fundraising goals. We also wished the best of luck to our 25 graduating seniors.

As we bade farewell to our 11 graduating brothers last spring, we hoped to carry on their legacy of honor and achievement. We celebrated the 25th anniversary of our founding colony’s establishment in the spring, and thanks to the dedication of Devon Ciby, 2016, more than 150 people attended the event, including alumni and sweethearts. With Jeff Longust, 2017, serving as president of the Interfraternity Council, we endeavor to strengthen our campus relations and maintain our prominent image in the community. As we approach our next recruitment season, we are eager to employ what we learned through the Mission 365 recruitment training program to strengthen our brotherhood.

~Cameron Hart, 2017

Pittsburg State Zeta Iota

As a result of each of our members striving to better himself, we accomplished such feats as raising more than $6,000 through our Derby Days philanthropic event. We are excited that Hank Cloninger, 2017, was recently elected president of our student government association for the 2016 to 2017 school year. We recently initiated seven young men into the Fraternity, and keeping close ties with our alumni has helped us further our development as students and young men by taking in the wisdom they have to offer.

~Colton Wollesen, 2018

Pittsburgh Beta Theta

Last spring, our brothers worked hard to increase the chapter’s charitable fundraising and GPA. Our brothers are also still on a number of university teams, student government and other prominent university organizations. We also welcomed Significant Sigs Charles Davis and Kent Swig, both BROWN 1982 , to share their experiences as brothers and to offer their accomplishments in the business world. We look forward to finding our next class of brothers this fall.

~Michael Gentile, 2018

Princeton Sigma

This spring, we donated $500 to Womanspace, which is an organization that provides services to individuals and families affected by domestic and sexual violence. In April, a group of brothers ran a 5K race benefitting the Against Malaria Foundation. We held another solemn White Rose Ceremony for former U.S. President Grover Cleveland, MICHIGAN 1893 . We also hosted several alumni brothers who shared stories with us of their postgraduation experiences and connected with the undergraduates. We have elected our new executive officers for the 2016 to 2017 school year and are excited to head in a new direction.

~Carlos Sotelo, 2017

Puget Sound Delta Phi

We received the university’s Community Service and Philanthropy Award for completing the most community service hours and raising the most money for philanthropy per member of the chapter, and we recently elected a new slate of executive officers; they are led by Consul Matty Specht, 2017, and we are very excited for them to lead us to new heights. In the fall, we look forward to initiating our pledges into Sigma Chi and welcoming them into our brotherhood.

~Brandon Schneider, 2016

Lastly, our fireside chat program has allowed us to host monthly video conferences with various distinguished alumni.

~Rajiv Samagond, 2016

R.I.T. Lambda Kappa

With just a few weeks left until the spring 2016 semester ended, our brothers organized the chapter’s most successful Derby Days philanthropic event yet; they obliterated the event’s previous

donation record by raising more than $17,000.

We also acted as the installing chapter for the reinstallation at Hobart College in April, coincidentally on the anniversary of our own installation in 2011. In addition, we initiated eight gentlemen into the ranks of Sigma Chi. Many alumni planned to attend the ball we hosted marking our fifth anniversary, which we expected to be a great way of concluding the school year.

~Matt Bernstein, 2016

Radford Kappa Zeta

Last spring semester, our chapter’s Derby Days philanthropic event was a huge success that allowed us to raise one of the largest donation amounts in chapter history for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This fall, we look forward to our alumni weekend and third-annual softball game against the Radford City (Va.) Police Department, which raises money for a local charity that provides lunches to impoverished kids within the local community.

~Vince Ludden, 2017

Rensselaer Delta Psi

Our brothers have been hard at work improving our impact on the community. We organized a seminar titled “Money and Happiness,” at which our neighbor spoke. This year’s Derby Days philanthropic event culminated in a 5K race through the center of our college’s campus. The chapter was also philanthropically active elsewhere, aiding in adding a statue on our street and volunteering at its unveiling ceremony. Through this, we were given the opportunity to meet the officials who serve as our town’s mayor, county executive and sheriff. Additionally, we initiated the members of another fantastic pledge class into Sigma Chi through the new Preparation for Brotherhood program.

~Kent Rapp, 2018

Rhode Island Delta Sigma

We planned to begin the fall term by installing the chapter’s new executive officers, conducting fall recruitment and beginning our second year of living in a new chapter house. We look forward to building upon our successes from the 2015 to 2016 school year, when we accumulated the most philanthropy hours and dollars of any chapter in the Connecticut/ Rhode Island province, as well as the best fraternity GPA at the university. With the help of our alumni advisory board, we will continue to progress as a young chapter.

~Daniel Grasso, 2017

Roanoke Tau

Our brothers initiated 13 pledges into Sigma Chi last spring, representing one of the largest pledge classes we have recruited in quite some time. Their addition to our membership brought our population to 37 brothers. A highlight of the spring was alumni weekend, at which we welcomed many brothers from years past to visit the chapter house and

partake in the weekend’s festivities. Our chapter has grown immensely in the past few years, and as we watched our seven seniors graduate on time, we wished them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

~Frederick Stucker, 2018

Rutgers Iota Psi

During the course of the spring semester, we announced the initiation of 16 gentlemen into Sigma Chi and celebrated the 25th anniversary of our chapter’s founding.

To top it off, the chapter brought home the Keller Cup as a trophy of our winning the intramural sports league among the top fraternities on campus.

~Anthony Strano, 2017

Sam Houston Epsilon Psi

Last spring, the university presented our chapter with its 2016 Sammy Award for outstanding social fraternity on campus, and the local newspaper voted us as the best fraternity in the city of Huntsville, Texas. Our most recent Derby Days philanthropic event was a very exciting success, and after a competitive week, we managed to raise more than $1,600 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. As the semester came to a close, we planned to initiate five outstanding pledges into the Fraternity.

As we neared the end of another great year on campus, we planned to host two major events in the second half of the spring 2016 semester: Our brotherhood crawfish boil, and our formal. In April, an impressive 80 percent of the chapter’s brothers participated in a campuswide service day called Samford Gives Back. The combination of great service and great events made for an exciting semester.

~William Royse, 2017

San Jose State Epsilon Theta

We broke the chapter’s fundraising record by collecting $16,000 through our Derby Days philanthropic event, and accepted the Interfraternity Council’s (IFC) award for best chapter in the IFC for the 2015 to 2016 school year. Going into the summer, we were proud to welcome seven newly initiated brothers into our Order, and could not wait for fall recruitment to begin in August. As my term as Consul ends, I have full confidence in our ability to grow during the upcoming academic year.

We were kept very busy recently with the initiation of the members of our Theta pledge class into the Fraternity, hosting a successful Derby Days philanthropic event and putting on our annual formal, which we held for the first time in Santa Barbara, Calif. The chapter held elections for its new executive officers, and looked forward to having a new team of leaders step up in our chapter. We will miss our graduating brothers, but are excited to see what they go on to do with their lives after college.

~Ryan McCracken, 2017

South Alabama Eta Epsilon

During our spring 2016 semester, we enjoyed another successful Derby Days philanthropic event and are now striving to increase our efforts in next year’s Derby Days, scheduled to begin March 27, 2017. Also in the spring, we received the Dean’s Cup, recognizing us as the campus’s most outstanding fraternity. We are looking forward to another great fall semester that will include the Homecoming football game on Oct. 29 and welcoming another class of future brothers into our chapter. To any alumni who are interested in getting involved with our Derby Days event, please email us at usaderby@gmail.com.

~Colden Wesch, 2017

Southeast Missouri Epsilon Phi

Our brothers are excited for the chapter’s fall 2016 recruitment effort, which will be led by recruitment chairman Jeremy Hagely, 2018 . We initiated two new members into the Fraternity last spring after Magister Brett Strebel, 2017, guided them through pledgeship, and we looked forward to our midsummer float trip. The chapter

finished second in the 2016 Greek Week games and reached its goal in money raised for the Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Brian Zielinski, 2017

Southern Illinois Lambda Omicron

The chapter’s spring 2016 semester was a bittersweet one, as we initiated seven great men into Sigma Chi but watched three others graduate and begin their lives as alumni. However, we exceeded expectations as we took first place in Theta Xi, the Greek-letter community’s variety show; raised more money than ever before through our Derby Days philanthropic event; and participated in Homecoming. Our graduated brothers have left their legacy in the best possible way.

~Kyren Smith, 2017

Southern Methodist Delta Mu

We planned to send another exceptional group of leaders to Ohio last summer to partake in the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. As we approached the fall semester, our membership stood at more than 100 brothers, which would grow even further after we initiated another fall pledge class into Sigma Chi. The Parents Weekend event we hosted was again successful, as we partnered with chapter sweetheart Casey Holiday’s sisters in the Chi Omega Fraternity. We hope to see a strong presence from our alumni at Homecoming on Nov. 5, when we partner with the sisters of the Delta Delta Delta Fraternity.

~Donald Conkey, 2019

Southern Utah Kappa Iota

Last spring, we welcomed 11 new brothers into Sigma Chi from our Beta Upsilon pledge class, raised $20,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, graduated seven amazing brothers and had a blast in Las Vegas hosting our White Rose Formal. It was there that we pinned Karlee Myers of the Alpha Phi International Fraternity as our new chapter sweetheart. This fall, we expected to have an outstanding recruitment that would produce a pledge class whose members we could not wait to add to the Fraternity’s membership at our next initiation ceremony, scheduled for Nov. 5.

~Parker Hess, 2017

Spring Hill Theta Mu

We initiated 16 new brothers into Sigma Chi last spring, greatly increasing our membership; unfortunately, we also had to say goodbye to five graduating seniors. We now look forward to seeing what our new elected officers have in store for us during the next academic year. We plan to host our Derby Days philanthropic event this fall as a way to grab the attention of possible spring recruits who can help us replace the five graduated seniors. We have constantly made it our goal to increase our chapter’s membership numbers since our return to campus three years ago.

~Topher Douglas, 2017

St. Thomas Iota Tau

Our brothers were very pleased to welcome seven new brothers from the spring 2016 pledge class into our brotherhood. We also graduated 14 seniors into Sigma Chi’s alumni ranks. The 2015 to 2016 school year was marked with a strong sense of brotherhood and dedication to the chapter through community service, brotherhood events and campus recognition. We also elected new executive officers, and look forward to their contributions to the chapter in the coming year. We also hoped to send many brothers to attend last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop.

~Tyler Trudell, 2016

Stanford Alpha Omega

After convening at Bowling Green State University for last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, our brothers hoped to set forth a great plan to improve over the course of the coming school year. We were excited to recruit our newest pledge class of 21 potential new brothers, and hoped to continue setting an example of strong brotherhood while showing our commitment to philanthropy on Stanford’s campus.

~Jordan Wallach, 2017

Stephen F. Austin Eta Tau

Last spring, we initiated three new brothers into Sigma Chi whom we expect to excel and wear our letters with pride. The Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honor society presented us an award recognizing our outstanding philanthropic contributions in April. At the time of this writing, we had just elected Jack Belcher, 2017, as our new Consul, and all of our brothers have given him the full measure of their support. We look forward to filling our chapter house to capacity with new residents and a large, but worthy, fall pledge class.

~Nicolas Irene, 2019

Syracuse Psi Psi

Our brothers continue to flourish as they have increased their involvement in campus functions and organizations outside of Sigma Chi. This summer, we planned to send a brother to attend the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit, and were hopeful that he would bring back insight that we can implement to improve our own chapter operations. We have added a new philanthropic event, called Sigma Cheese, where brothers grill and sell cheeserelated foods to benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute. As the spring 2016 semester neared its end, our chapter’s momentum continued to grow.

~Al Magers, 2017

Tarleton State Kappa Xi

Last spring, our chapter raised an astounding $3,000 through our Derby Days philanthropic event and graduated six of its members into the Fraternity’s alumni ranks. In addition, we welcomed five new members from our spring 2016 pledge

class, and we plan to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our chapter’s founding this fall. Our potential and expectations for the fall 2016 semester are extremely high, as we look forward to hosting a successful Fight Night and recruiting potential new members into our new pledge class.

~Aaron Martinez, 2018

Tennessee Tech Eta Delta

We raised more than $3,600 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute through our spring 2016 Derby Days philanthropic event. Our brothers elected Madeline Summers, a member of the Kappa Delta Sorority, as our chapter sweetheart. After bidding farewell to our graduating seniors, we put our full confidence in the ability of our newly elected executive officers to further the prosperity of the chapter and the East Tennessee province. We were excited to host our alumni golf tournament in the summer, and look forward to bringing in a new group of future leaders this fall.

~Benjamin Vincent, 2017

Tennessee-Chattanooga Delta Theta

Our chapter reflects on the tremendous amount of success it continued to make during the spring 2016 semester. We are extremely proud to have initiated 10 new brothers into Sigma Chi, representing one of our largest-ever spring pledge classes. We accepted the Interfraternity Council’s award for fraternity of the year and hosted our most successful Derby Days philanthropic event thus far, surpassing our fundraising goal of $25,000 by raising more than $32,000 for Children’s Hospital at Erlanger. We are excited to carry our successes into what could be the most productive fall recruitment we have ever had.

~Phillip Stubblefield, 2017

Tennessee-Knoxville Beta Sigma

During our spring 2016 Derby Days philanthropic event, we instituted for the first time in our chapter’s history a full-contact football game, in which we played against the brothers of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. We initiated 12 members of our spring pledge class into Sigma Chi who we believe are possessed of different temperaments, talents and convictions. Now, we are excited to begin planning the celebration of our chapter’s centennial anniversary, which will arrive in the fall of 2017.

~Andrew Robinson, 2018

Tennessee-Martin Kappa Psi

Our brothers have been hard at work to improve the chapter house. We received numerous awards at the university’s Greek Awards ceremony, including one for chapter advisor George Daniel III, GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN 1980, who was honored with the award for Greek-letter advisor of the year. We planned to work further on making preparations to install a new sprinkler system over the course of the summer, and our chapter’s officers looked forward to attending Balfour Leadership Training Workshop.

~Taylor Martin, 2017

Members of the Chi Omega women’s fraternity at the University of New Hampshire pose on April 15, 2016, at the university’s Memorial Union Building, with Brandon Bryant, NEW HAMPSHIRE 2017, and their trophy for taking first place in the Derby Days philanthropic event, which was recently held on campus. The event raised more than $4,000 for the Fraternity’s preferred philanthropy, the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Texas A&M-College Station Eta Upsilon

This fall, we expected to initiate 34 new brothers into Sigma Chi after they participated in a successful pledge program. Our brothers and alumni got together last spring to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our chapter’s founding, at which chapter advisor Mike Belt, 1980, received a Grand Consul’s Citation. We have also increased our campus involvement, with multiple brothers accepting major roles in the student government association, the Interfraternity Council and the Memorial Student Center. As the spring semester came to a close, we looked forward to another fantastic fall that will be filled with philanthropy and Aggie football.

~Alex Quintos, 2017

Texas A&M-Commerce Zeta Eta

We initiated five brothers into Sigma Chi last spring, increasing our chapter size to 45 members. Our relations with sororities and women’s fraternities have gotten stronger, and as we gear up for a great fall recruitment, we are looking forward to finding our next great class of brothers. Finally, we are proud to report that our philanthropic activities all went well, with Derby Days in particular bringing in a good sum of money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

~Mason Bua, 2019

Texas A&M-Kingsville Zeta Pi

In hosting one of the most prosperous Derby Days philanthropic events in the chapter’s recent memory, our brothers helped to return a treasured philanthropic tradition amongst the university’s

fraternity and sorority community as well as the surrounding campus community. We welcomed 11 newly initiated brothers into our brotherhood during the spring 2016 semester, with several alumni in attendance at the ceremony. Finally, we completed our officer elections, and the new officers looked forward to another successful Balfour Leadership Training Workshop in Bowling Green, Ohio, and a prosperous upcoming school year.

~Hunter Wilson, 2017

Texas State Theta Tau

Our beloved brother Logan Bradley Dundas, 2018 , passed into the Chapter Eternal on April 24, 2016. He was known for his genuine smile and loving heart, and we worked hard to raise more than $8,000 to cover the costs of his funeral. We have honored his memory by using #liveforlogan in social media posts. While we are all shocked and saddened by his passing, we continued to do great things during the spring 2016 semester. We raised $8,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute through our Derby Days philanthropic event and won the university’s awards for most improved in academic excellence, excellence in recruitment and membership retention and excellence in philanthropic endeavor.

~Connor Nutt, 2018

Texas-Arlington Theta Kappa

After a successful 2015 to 2016 school year, our brothers have made it their goal not to become complacent following our recognition from the university as a gold chapter, and winning the Interfraternity Council’s awards for most outstanding chapter and top philanthropic event for Fight Night. We believe many of our fellow student organizations have begun to imitate our programming in order to achieve similar progress in philanthropy, brotherhood and scholarship. Now, more than ever before, innovation is the key to our success. This fall, we will make implementing the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program and hosting a successful Fight Night event our highest priorities.

~Chandler Garrard, 2017

Texas-Austin Alpha Nu

As we begin the fall 2016 semester, the members of our chapter are looking forward to another successful fall pledgeship. We installed a new grass field in the backyard of our chapter house, replacing the degraded and worn-down sandpit that once stood there instead. Finally, we were proud to take Nicholas, the cancer patient we have sponsored at Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas, to see a monster truck demolition rally this past April.

~William Monteleone, 2018

Troy Eta Phi

Our most recent Derby Days was the most successful and effective philanthropic event

that our chapter and the university have seen in years. We introduced our inaugural Fight Night philanthropic event with more than 2,000 people in attendance, and rounded out a weekend that raised nearly $20,000. The beneficiary of this year’s Fight Night was the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, in honor of our late brother J.P. Swartz, 2017. We were also excited to welcome eight new members into our brotherhood, and we look forward to continuing our streak of success.

~Garrett Heisler, 2019

Tulane Alpha Omicron

The spring 2016 semester proved to be another impressive one for the members of our chapter. We hosted our most successful Derby Days philanthropic event to date; the $11,000 that we raised represents a 220 percent increase from last year’s take. Additionally, we completed 1,743 community service hours and worked with 22 organizations, including Habitat for Humanity. Our brothers are leaders on Tulane’s student government, honor board, orientation coordinator team and various other organizations on campus. The non-profit organization Top Box, which three of our brothers founded, has continued to flourish with the chapter’s support.

~Max Meyer, 2019

Tulsa Delta Omega

In recent months, we have increased our involvement with service organizations such as the Humane Society and Big Brothers Big Sisters. We also elected Courtney McKeon, a sister of the Delta Delta Delta Fraternity and a prominent member of the women’s soccer team with a 3.8 GPA, as our new chapter sweetheart. Finally, I am pleased to tell you that two of our brothers have rejoined us after grappling with issues such as depression and financial hardship.

~Spencer Hartwig, 2019

Union Gamma Zeta

During the 2015 to 2016 school year, our chapter’s 93 brothers worked tirelessly to improve their academic and philanthropic performances. We continue to strive toward making a positive impact each day on campus, as well as to make progress toward reaching long-term contribution goals that allow us to give back as much as we can. We planned to vote brothers into new roles as executive officers during last spring, after which we expected to hold a leadership turnover retreat to ensure that we continue to meet our standard of excellence.

~William Gibbs, 2017

Utah Beta Epsilon

We raised more than $60,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute during the 2015 to 2016 academic year, which is the most money our chapter has raised in a single year in its 108-year history. We fortified relations between our members and

alumni by continuing to participate in our alumni mentorship program, and we initiated a stellar 26-man pledge class into membership in Sigma Chi. We are excited to see what the fall will bring, and we hope to find novel means by which to prove ourselves to be a credit to our Fraternity.

~Zachary Berger, 2018

Utah State Gamma Kappa

Last spring, our chapter was able to recruit men who surpass the requirements set forth in The Jordan Standard in every imaginable way. We have not only recruited a group of bright young men, but in doing so, we have been able to remind our brothers of the ideals of Sigma Chi. We celebrated the 90th anniversary of our chapter’s founding this year by holding our annual alumni banquet, thus creating a strong bond between our members and alumni. Furthermore, our chapter has worked with the local community and university officials to advance our philanthropic efforts.

~Christian Orellana, 2018

Valparaiso Iota Sigma

We participated in countless activities on campus last spring, including many service opportunities. Our chapter won an award for excellence in philanthropy at the university’s most recent Greek Awards ceremony, and Ben Hoemann, 2016, won the Academic Pillar of Excellence Award. Three of our brothers served on the executive committee of the most successful Dance Marathon the university has hosted yet, and one of our brothers led a campus color run in support of Promise for Relief and Human Development, a nonprofit organization helping to rebuild Syria in the wake of the country’s civil war.

~Dustin Price, 2017

Vanderbilt Alpha Psi

Our chapter added a strong and diverse class of 24 new members to Sigma Chi’s membership during last spring’s initiation ceremony. Following an excellent weeklong Derby Days philanthropic event that collected donations in excess of $50,000, our brothers enjoyed the opportunity to host International Sweetheart Kelsey Maggard for a day on the town in Nashville, Tenn. Members benefited from hearing about her experiences of visiting chapters across the nation.

~Cole Pickney, 2017

Villanova Kappa Chi

Our brothers had a great spring 2016 semester, during which we welcomed 16 new brothers into Sigma Chi and hosted an incredibly successful Derby Days philanthropic event campaign. Derby Days raised the second-highest donation total in chapter history for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and we hope to carry the momentum of that success into the fall 2016 semester as we continue to contribute to the Villanova community.

~Joseph Penta, 2017

Virginia Psi

We ended the spring 2016 semester on an excellent note by earning a 3.266 GPA. Our Derby Days philanthropic event raised a chapter-record $29,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals-affiliated University of Virginia Children’s Hospital. We began making renovations to our chapter house on May 14, and numerous brothers and alumni helped make the improvements a reality. This summer, our brothers planned to gain internship experience and study abroad in Valencia, Spain, and London. Each of our brothers hoped to have a relaxing and productive summer, and we looked forward to getting back to work in the fall.

~Gardner Tregellas, 2018

Virginia Tech Eta Lambda

In recent months, we welcomed our largest pledge class yet and reached a record number of initiated members. Our brothers are active participants around campus in student financial investment organizations, as sorority affiliates, as participants in community and philanthropic events and in intramural athletics. Last spring, we raised more than $30,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. In addition, we earned a 3.102 GPA during the fall 2015 semester, which ranked 11th among those of Interfraternity Council chapters and exceeded the all-men’s average. Now, we are excitedly planning for our 45th-anniversary celebration in February 2017.

~Mike Jones, 2017

Wabash Delta Chi

In early February, our brothers organized the chapter’s annual Special Olympics basketball tournament for more than 50 teams across the state of Indiana. In April, our seniors were honored as the most outstanding senior class at Wabash College. Additionally, Scott Purucker, 2016, accepted the Indiana Balfour Award and was chosen as Wabash’s fraternity man of the year. We look forward to continuing these successes in the fall 2016 semester.

~Ben Page, 2018

Wake Forest Delta Nu

Last spring, we enjoyed recruiting and initiating 18 members into Sigma Chi, and look forward to their future contributions to our Fraternity. We had an extremely successful Derby Days philanthropic event that raised more than $22,000 for Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem, N.C., and $1,500 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We also had great success in intramural sports, as we won the 2015 to 2016 school year’s Fraternity Cup. As our seniors graduated in May, we want to thank them for the lasting positive impact they made on our chapter.

~Graham Shue, 2017

Washington & Lee Zeta

The chapter’s newly initiated brothers have proved to be a great addition to the Fraternity. We recently held an alumni event to commemorate our 150th year on campus, and we had a great time connecting with brothers from years past. Our members who play on the baseball, golf and tennis teams enjoyed successful seasons, with a number of brothers receiving individual accolades for their performances. We will miss our senior class as they begin to pursue careers in finance, consulting, law, art, medicine and more.

~Nicholas Lico, 2017

Washington (Seattle) Upsilon Upsilon

Our chapter won the Northwest province’s Sam Bullock Northwest Province Scholarship Award at our most recent province workshop. We continue to make improvements to our scholarship and risk management programs by revising and rethinking them. Two of our members got the chance to experience the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit. We expect the 2016 to 2017 school year to be very successful as our brothers continue to involve themselves in more on-campus activities and the Interfraternity Council. We look forward to the coming fall quarter and the new members we will soon bring into our chapter.

~Paul Gentsch, 2018

Washington State Beta Upsilon

The spring 2016 semester treated our brothers quite fondly. We initiated 11 new members into our brotherhood, Pro Consul Brice Dodge, 2017, founded a raffle ticket-driven philanthropic event called “Hunting for a Cure” that raised more than $250 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and we have nearly raised the funds necessary to break ground on our planned chapter house construction project. We are confident that the seeds of our success have been planted, and we will work to continue growing our membership while engineering fresh perspectives and chapter operations in order to become a fixture of the university’s Greekletter community.

~Brady Johnson, 2019

Waterloo Theta Psi

Our brothers were excited last summer to participate in the chapter’s alumni golf tournament, make additional improvements to our chapter house and initiate the members of our Gamma Eta and Gamma Theta pledge classes into Sigma Chi. We maintained our presence on campus by playing an integral role in the university’s Greek Council, and by participating in other university events. Congratulations to Kevin Wong, 2016, whom the university’s engineering faculty recognized with the Adel Sedra Entrepreneurship Award for Capstone Design.

~Suraj Dave, 2016

West Florida Lambda Beta

Last spring, our members came to occupy several leadership positions on campus, including officer positions in the student government association and positions in the office of undergraduate admissions, the Order of Omega honor society and the Interfraternity Council (IFC), among others. We earned the fifth-best IFC-member GPA and participated in Relay for Life alongside the sisters of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. We hosted our annual White Rose Formal in New Orleans and elected Aubrey Grier of Alpha Delta Pi as our new chapter sweetheart.

~Alec Blaquiere, 2019

West Georgia Lambda Phi

In recent months, we raised $3,370.46 by hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event, and our chapter advisor Mark Douglas, GEORGIA 1995, won the university’s award for advisor of the year. Half of our Derby Days earnings went to help the younger biological brother of one of our members who is fighting cancer. We also gained one pledge this semester who we know will do great things in the future of our chapter.

~John Fore, 2018

West Virginia Mu Mu

Our brothers recently participated in the Stop Hunger Now campaign, through which we helped prepare more than 20,000 prepackaged meals for distribution in several underdeveloped countries. Also, Porter Knollinger, 2017, was elected governor of the university’s student government association. At the time of this writing, we anxiously awaited the initiation of the members of our spring 2016 pledge class into Sigma Chi. Our executive officers were also excited to attend last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, where they hoped to acquire valuable skills and knowledge to implement and improve the chapter.

~Knollinger

Western Carolina Kappa Gamma

As the spring 2016 semester came to a close, we initiated 11 men into Sigma Chi who befit our standard and who we are confident will bring new luster to the White Cross. Our brothers recently distributed more than 300 children’s books that we collected during the most recent Western Carolina province conference to a local hospital. We also said goodbye to our 2016 graduates, and wish them all the success in the world as they begin to make an impact as alumni of our chapter.

~Logan Morrison, 2016

Western Connecticut Iota Eta

We would like to congratulate our new top five executive officers: Consul Nicholas Dunn, 2016; Pro Consul Jeffrey Moffat, 2018; Quaestor Eric Long, 2018; Magister Jordan Garcia, 2016; and recruitment chairman Daniel Sherman, 2016. All of

them looked forward to attending last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, and Moffat was also accepted to attend the Horizons Huntsman Leadership Summit. We would also like to recognize Joshua Kleinwaks, 2018 , who is our chapter’s newest initiate. To our recently graduated brothers, we would like to say thank you for all that you have done for us, and we wish you the best.

~Moffat

Western Illinois Iota Omicron

As we approached the end of the spring 2016 semester, we achieved one of our major goals by winning one of the university’s gold chapter awards in April. The award recognizes the top fraternities on campus. We are also thrilled to announce that Andrew Mueller, 2017, was elected as speaker of the house for the student government association. Finally, at the time of this writing, we were in the process of educating our pledges through the Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program.

~Matthew Hutchison, 2018

Western Kentucky Zeta Mu

Our weeklong Derby Days philanthropic event and Battle of the Greeks boxing tournament allowed us to donate thousands of dollars to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. In addition to our philanthropic efforts, we continued to work hard in the classroom and in extracurricular endeavors, and we looked forward to another outstanding semester this fall. We recently initiated 11 great men into our chapter, and look forward to our future with them.

~Alex Schneller, 2018

Western Michigan Zeta Nu

Last spring, we extended 15 bids to potential new brothers and ended up initiating all of them into Sigma Chi. In the past year, we have more than doubled our number of members, from 32 to 73 brothers. Also, we are undergoing renovations to our chapter house, which we expected to fill to capacity at 32 occupants. We earned a 2.91 chapter GPA during the spring 2016 semester, which exceeded the university’s all-men’s average. We look to continue our role as a model organization and as leaders on campus as we pursue academic and philanthropic success.

~Peter Krause, 2019

Western Ontario Epsilon Omicron

Our brothers had another successful spring term, during which we continued to be the largest fraternity at our university. We initiated 25 wellrounded brothers into our chapter who share the high ideals of Sigma Chi; in addition, we won the university’s award for earning a 3.5 GPA, best among the fraternity community, and another award for earning the most improved GPA. Finally, we raised more than $10,000 during our annual Derby Days philanthropic event in March.

~Matthew Soper, 2017

At a July 27 banquet during the 2016 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, Ryan Bailey, SOUTHERN UTAH 2016, displays on his hand the name of the person who inspires him to work to end cancer. The banquet was hosted by the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, the fundraising arm of Huntsman Cancer Institute, and honored those chapters that raised $5,000 to support the institute this past academic year.

Whitman Gamma Epsilon

Last spring, our brothers continued to involve themselves in activities such as varsity sports, the school newspaper, community service opportunities and student government. We had the pleasure of welcoming Harlan Jones, WASHINGTON STATE and WHITMAN 1974 , who shared many of his experiences from his time at Whitman with us. In addition, we recently we welcomed several new brothers into our chapter at our spring initiation ceremony. As we approached the fall semester, we looked forward to welcoming more new members into the Fraternity, and otherwise continuing to grow our chapter.

~Thomas Douglas, 2018

William & Mary Zeta Upsilon

Many of our brothers are involved in aspects of campus life and continue to have a strong presence in the community. We recruited five potential new members to our ranks last spring, and as the semester continued, we looked forward to initiating them into Sigma Chi. Elsewise, we looked forward to our spring Derby Days philanthropic event, through which we planned to raise money to donate to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters.

~Conor Rooney, 2017

Windsor Kappa Mu

The 2015 to 2016 year was one of growth and learning for the men of our chapter. We added 13 brothers to our brotherhood throughout the year, and were incredibly excited to move into a new chapter house in May. While we had to deal with issues such as uncertainty regarding the availability of our chapter house and communication problems with local alumni, we nonetheless hosted a fruitful province conference and ran a successful Derby Days philanthropic event and “hot-tub-a-thon,” both of which have become staples of our campus. Now, we are excited to move forward into the 2016 to 2017 school year.

~Alex Lister, 2017

Wisconsin-Milwaukee Lambda Chi

Our brothers ended their spring 2016 semester by hosting the chapter’s most successful Derby Days philanthropic event yet. Being a relatively small and young chapter at a school with an extremely small Greek-letter community, it can be difficult to host events that appeal to the greater student body. However, we successfully counteracted this challenge by hosting an inclusive week of campuswide events. They included a car smash on Monday and a 5K race run on Saturday, which allowed us to raise more than $5,000 for the local chapter of Fisher House Wisconsin and the Wheaton Franciscan Foundation.

~Erik Sands, 2017

Wyoming Gamma Xi

We look forward to fall recruitment and Homecoming, when we will partner with the sisters of the Delta Delta Delta Fraternity. Michael Rotellini, 2018 , was elected president of the student body, and six of our members were elected to positions within the student government. We continue to work to improve our academics, and we wish good luck to all of our recently graduated brothers who are now alumni. Finally, we thank Kyle Mogensen for his service last year as our chapter mentor, and wish him good luck in his future endeavors.

~James Munoz, 2018

Yale Theta Upsilon

Last spring, our brothers raised more than $1,400 for survivors of sexual assault through our Derby Days philanthropic event that connected student groups from across campus. Another philanthropic event we hosted was attended by more than 500 students. We have involved a new generation of brothers in campus activities and in our brotherhood, raising our expectations for the future. Now, our officers invite those persons who have been involved with the chapter to join us for the 30th-anniversary celebration of our founding, scheduled for Oct. 7 and 8, 2016.

~Joshua El-Bey, 2016

Youngstown Eta Chi

We hosted our first Rockuacade philanthropic event last spring, in which bands performed and raised more than $800 for the Boys and Girls Club of Youngstown, Ohio. We organized Project Penguin to gather stuffed animals and donate them to local fire departments which will distribute them to children. Our

COLONY UPDATES

chapter recently initiated Donald Duda, 2018 , and Jacob Majovsky, 2018 , into Sigma Chi. We were preparing for our annual Derby Days philanthropic event at the time of this writing, which we expected to host this fall for the fifth time in recent history.

~Landon Kline, 2017

Baylor Sigma Chi Eta

This fall, we planned to pair with the sisters of the Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity to create a float for the Homecoming parade. Members of our colony continue to serve in the student government and the Interfraternity Council (IFC) executive board, and even as Baylor’s mascot. Finally, our members won the following IFC awards: Jack Reiman, 2018 , Man of the Year; Josh Miller, 2017, Outstanding Scholarship; and John Kang, 2017, Outstanding Service.

~Garrett Smith, 2018

Binghamton Sigma Chi Xi

The spring 2016 semester included a promising step for our colony. Our perseverance and hard work were rewarded when Sigma Chi’s Executive Committee accepted our Declaration of Intent to become a colony. Our brothers put together their first philanthropic event benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute and increased the chapter’s community involvement. We have also branched out in the school by playing roles in volunteer groups, taking positions within other organizations’ committees and even playing on sports teams.

~Matthew Latawiec, 2018

Bowling Green Kappa Sigma Chi

This past year, we successfully completed Phase Two of the colonization process. Evan Zumbro, 2019, and Alex Hannah, 2018 , received Grand Praetor’s citations for outstanding service. At the time of this writing, we looked forward to becoming initiated at our reinstallation in July during Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. We looked forward to living in our new chapter house in the fall, and to hosting our first Derby Days philanthropic event.

~Brian Snouffer, 2018

Our colony’s membership included 17 men at the time of this writing. We recently revamped our colony advisory board and are working with new expansion coordinators at Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters, as those we were working with left for other opportunities. In recent

months, we have donated money and raised awareness for organizations such as Autism Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Blood Services and local homeless shelters. We have also done the same with the Huntsman Cancer Institute, which we supported through our first Derby Days philanthropic event.

Our brothers learned a great deal from a recent Mission 365 recruitment training workshop, and looked forward to using their new skills during summer and fall recruitment. Additionally, we hosted our first mixer and formal events, both of which were successful. Furthermore, our first pledge class has completed its pledgeship; we have Nick Leyden, MIAMI (FLORIDA) 2005, to thank for running the program smoothly as an alumnus Magister. Our newly elected officers are making smooth transitions into their new roles.

The White Rose Ceremony

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

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

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

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

Strong Principles and Tradition

LEAVING A Legacy

A century ago, a Sigma Chi helped lay the foundation of the National Park Service.

By Noah Phelps, NORTHWESTERN 2008

he efforts of 20th Grand Consul Stephen Mather, CALIFORNIA, to build public and political support for public parks paid off, as Congress created the National Parks Service (NPS) 100 years ago this past Aug. 25. As an assistant to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Franklin Lane, Mather’s grassroots efforts helped to persuade legislators to take

Mather had become a millionaire through his marketing efforts at Thorkildsen-Mather Borax Co., and was reported to have been part of the team that created “20 Mule Team Borax,” a brand of detergent that is used to clean and do laundry. After Mather’s career as a marketer, he joined the U.S. Department of the Interior to become Lane’s assistant.

At the time of Mather’s appointment as assistant to the department of interior, the parks were not a formal entity, existing only as a department of Lane’s office. According to Percival Sheldon Ridsdale in a 1921 issue of The , “the situation which faced the new executive was appalling.” The national parks were a collection of administrative units that functioned independently — there was no administrative oversight or logistical coordination between them. Additionally, the park superintendents were political appointees, and the appointment considered very desirable, so the incumbents of the positions were said to show little desire to reform.

In a concerted effort by Robert Sterling Yard, Mather, Horace Albright, the National Geographic Society and others, Congress was encouraged to establish the National Park Service (NPS). It did so with the Organic Act in 1916, which placed the existing national parks under the NPS’ management, while delineating their purposes for preservation. The following year, Mather became

Mather is shown here in 1928 at Yellowstone Park with his hand on an antler. He was elected 20th Grand Consul four years into his role as director of the NPS.

Under Mather’s management, the NPS developed an internal road system, created a system of trails, and increased the number of hotels and campgrounds — all done to aid the growth of tourism to the parks. Mather also created facilities to educate the public on the mission of the NPS. By 1921, visitation to the parks had increased significantly, and by 1933, The Magazine of Sigma Chi was reporting that the national parks were attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The growth of the parks’ visitation increased under Mather, and Congressional appropriations for them increased nearly four-fold, Ridsdale wrote in The Magazine of Sigma Chi in 1921.

By the time Mather retired in 1929, nine new parks had been added to the National Park System, including Hawai’i, Lassen Volcanic, Mount McKinley, Lafayette, the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce Canyon, Shenandoah and the Great Smoky Mountain national parks. In honor of his accomplishments, he received the gold medal of the National Institute of Social Science and an honorary degree from his alma mater and from George Washington University.

Mather entered the Chapter Eternal on Jan. 22, 1930. In the wake of his death, proposals to honor him included naming a new national park after him. Ultimately, the NPS honored his life and work by naming a campground for him at the Grand Canyon, along with a 50-mile stretch of Washington State Route 410, as it approaches Mount Ranier. Within many of the national parks in existence at the time, the parks service installed plaques declaring: “He laid the foundation of the National Park Service, defining and establishing the policies under which its areas shall be developed and conserved unimpaired for future generations. There will never come an end to the good that he has done.”

Above: Uniformed park rangers unveil the Stephen T. Mather Memorial Plaque at a dedication ceremony at Madison Junction Museum in Yellowstone National Park on July 4, 1932. Twentieth Grand Consul Stephen Mather, CALIFORNIA-BERKELEY 1887, was the first director of the National Park Service and is credited with its early success.

Carrying on the mission

A century after 20th Grand Consul Stephen Mather, CALIFORNIA-BERKELEY 1887, helped lay the foundation to create the National Parks Service (NPS), his brothers continue to play key roles in ensuring the preservation of natural wonders found within the United States. Foremost among them are Significant Sig Jonathan Jarvis, WILLIAM & MARY 1975 , who is the 18th director of the NPS, and Will Shafroth, CALIFORNIA-SANTA BARABARA 1979, who serves as president and CEO of the NPS Foundation.

Jarvis began his career with the NPS in 1976, and has occupied such roles as seasonal interpreter, park ranger and resource management specialist, to name a few. Before he became director of the NPS, he was regional director of the Pacific West region. As director of the NPS, Jarvis oversees more than 22,000 employees and commands a $3 billion budget.

“The principles of Sigma Chi are in us both [myself and Mather], in terms of our high regard for public service, the importance of giving back to our communities and showing respect to our natural resources,” Jarvis says.

The NPS Foundation’s board of directors named Shafroth its president and CEO in June 2015. Prior to accepting those roles, he was counselor for America’s great outdoors at the U.S. Department of the Interior, under former secretary Ken Salazar. As counselor, Shafroth helped modernize the department’s conservation and recreation agenda while exploring ways to reconnect the public with their national parks. As president and CEO of the NPS Foundation, Shafroth is responsible for helping secure contributions from individuals and corporations for the preservation and operation of America’s national parks.

“Will and I have become very good friends, both professionally and personally,” says Jarvis, citing their love of fly fishing as a common interest aside from a passion for the nation’s national parks and Sigma Chi.

GRAND PRAETORS’ REPORT

Stephens asked if there are funds available for Grand Praetors to help

promote new projects, such as the P4B program. Ursillo responded that there are not.

Stephens also asked if Grand Praetors are responsible for covering the cost of Headquarters staff visits to assist them. Church clariﬁed that if Headquarters staff is reaching out to the Grand Praetors, the funding is most likely available; however, if the Grand Praetor reaches out to staff for help, there may be funds available.

Temby stated that a review of the Fraternity’s Governing Laws was held so that undergraduate chapters could create compliant bylaws. He said that the conﬂicts that were discovered were given to the Governing Laws committee for review. Ursillo requested that Stephens press the committee to make sure the conﬂicts are reviewed.

ALUMNI REP.’S REPORT

Lewandowski discussed the alumni services committee’s priorities to continue to create additional alumni chapters and support those and existing ones, to encourage alumni chapters to support undergraduate chapters and their philanthropic efforts, and to assist the ELB’s alumni programs committee with continued implementation of alumni facilitation training.

Ursillo asked for the feedback of the alumni services committee as to what it believes the ideal alumni chapter would be like, so that the EC could review and revise the current requirements for alumni chapters.

Lewandowski reviewed a survey conducted in regard to the Life Loyal membership program. Some of the reported reasons as to why members are not Life Loyal Sigs are related the cost of the membership and their interest in receiving TheMagazine. Lewandowski said that more than half of the Life Loyal Sigs responding to the survey became members when they were between the ages of 20 and 30.

Avila suggested that it should be called “Sigma Chi International Fraternity’s Position Statement on Diversity.” Discussion followed, and EC members made various suggestions to change the wording of the item. Avilaacceptedtheamendmentsto themotion.Kellerseconded.

The ﬁnal proposed statement was:

“Sigma Chi fosters an environment of inclusion within our chapters. Chapters will consider all of the various dimensions of diversity including but not limited to; race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, region and socioeconomic background. Brothers are expected to reach out to men who share our values and exemplify different temperaments, talents and convictions.

The motion to adopt the amended item carried unanimously.

Ed Spencer reviewed information relating to the companies that will provide pilot test feedback regarding Sigma Chi U and the P4B pledge program. Stephens asked if an ELB member will be present during the focus groups. Church responded that they will be virtual focus groups, so there is an inability for a member to be present to give feedback and suggestions.

Then, Ed Spencer reviewed the timeline relating to the development of curriculum that will be housed on Sigma Chi U. He also spoke about the executive summary of the P4B alpha test feedback. He stated that a few things are being adjusted, and a majority of the problems discoverd from the test were from technical difﬁculties that have been mostly resolved. Discussion followed. Ursillo stated that Kubosumi and Graham Spencer will be part of the Magister division at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW) to present to the undergrads about the development of P4B.

Ursillo reviewed the issue of the Kappa Lambda Chi military fraternity plagiarizing and slightly amending Sigma Chi’s Ritual to ﬁt their own needs. The General

Fraternity’s legal affairs committee proposed a three-step plan to tackle this:

1. Approach a high-ranking military member who is a Sigma Chi to inform him of the transgression and inquire about possible contact with the new organization to request that it end its use of the Ritual.

2. If that does not work, the Fraternity will seek legal counsel regarding intellectual property who would press for cease and desist demands, potentially threatening further legal proceedings.

3. In the event of failure of adequate compliance with the reliefs identiﬁed above, the institution of legal proceedings is advised.

Background was presented regarding the possible addition to the Huntsman Horizons Leadership Summit of a ﬁfth session in 2016; it was noted that ultimately will not happen, but there will be a “McNair week.”

The EC came to a consensus that it does not believe that if a chapter has Bell Chapter status based upon members’ gifts to the Foundation, its undergrads do not have automatic entrance to Huntsman Horizons Leadership Summit if they do not meet standards for admittance to it.

Geddings presented additions to ECR 3.18 that would help clarify the Fraternity’s stance that members cannot be placed on “inactive” status by chapters. Discussion followed.

BROTHERS AND FRIENDS GATHER FOR 2016 Grand Council

This year’s biennial meeting took place in Skokie, Ill., where delegates voted on proposed changes to the Governing Laws and honored Sigma Chi’s latest award winners. Story by Ryan Priest, WASHINGTON (SEATTLE) 2009

Three hundred forty-four Sigma Chis and their guests gathered at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago – North Shore Conference Center in Skokie, Ill., from June 10 to 12, 2016, for a meeting of the Grand Council. There, voting delegates considered adoption of proposed changes to the Governing Laws and celebrated the new class of alumni volunteer award winners.

Attendees also toured the new Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi, located inside the Fraternity’s International Headquarters in nearby Evanston, Ill., and observed a 50th-anniversary rededication of the building.

The Grand Council meeting officially kicked off the afternoon of Friday, June 10, when the

assembled Grand Officers, undergraduate delegates, past Grand Consuls and others honored Fraternity brothers who have passed away since the 2015 Grand Chapter with a memorial service and heard a State of the Fraternity address from 69th Grand Consul Michael Ursillo, BROWN 1978 Ursillo spoke about the need for the new Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program; the Scobey Spirit Initiative, which aims to promote diversity and inclusivity within the Fraternity; and the Ritual Renaissance initiative and its Ritual Peer program, through which brothers have been certified in their knowledge of the Ritual and can assist undergraduate chapters in their understanding and performance of it.

The images were on display to guests at a barbecue and rededication of the Headquarters building that was held on the final day of Grand Council.

The serenade concluded the banquet; behind Maggard are family members and significant others of the men in attendance.

He also spoke of the work of the Fraternity leadership, as well as that of the Foundation, and told the undergraduate delegates in the room that Sigma Chi’s Founders believed that leading a principled lifestyle was paramount. “The world in which we live has a pressing need for ethical leaders whose principles are based on the possession of remarkable character,” he said, telling them that if they take action in their lives good things would happen.

Foundation President and CEO Ashley Woods, EAST TENNESSEE 2000, also delivered his state of the Foundation address, in which he spoke about the James Parks Caldwell planned giving society and the need for such giving in order to secure the future for Sigma Chi.

Following the business session in which Woods and Ursillo presented their addresses, attendees took part in a banquet honoring this year’s Order of Constantine inductees and Significant Sig awardees who were in attendance. Also recognized at the event were Seven Lights Alumni Award winners, or those lauded for advancing the Fraternity through their volunteer service on a local level for 10 or more years; as well as those whose names are included in a sidebar on page 110.

Dan Shaver, TEXAS TECH 1993 , said he was touched and surprised when he learned he would become an Order of Constantine inductee. “I try to work for Sigma Chi and make a difference in the life of others, and for me to be able to share this great honor with my Sigma Chi mentors was incredibly special,” he said.

Likewise, Order of Constantine Sig Glen Berree, FLORIDA SOUTHERN 1969, was grateful to receive his 2016 Significant Sig Award at Grand Council. “I have a lot of old, dear friends in positions of responsibility in Sigma Chi,” he said. “A lot of those folks [were] present at Grand Council, so it just made sense for me to accept my award there.”

The next day at Grand Council, many of the presentations and discussions were dedicated to P4B, which the Fraternity rolled out this fall to all 241 of its undergraduate chapters. Once implemented,

Order of Constantine Sig Craig Brewerton, UTAH STATE 1967, pins Dan Shaver, TEXAS TECH 1993, with a piece of jewelry signifying his induction to the Order of Constantine’s 2016 class during the 2016 Grand Council awards banquet in Skokie, Ill., on June 10.

been presented to everyone at Grand Council, attendees broke into small groups to discuss its merits and provide feedback to the Preparation for Brotherhood committee.

In addition, the undergraduate delegates in attendance selected Tyler Rochelle, NORTH CAROLINA-CHARLOTTE 2017, and Austen Radke, CAL. STATE-FRESNO 2016, as their representatives to the executive committee for the 2016 to 2017 academic year.

“Going into my senior year, I held a bunch of different positions in my chapter, and wanted to take on an additional challenge on the international level,” says Rochelle, who adds that he learned of the opportunity from Western North Carolina province Grand Praetor Chris Hicks, GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN 1996 . “ ... as I learned more about [the position], I realized that it was a way for me to make a real and meaningful impact on our Fraternity [by providing a voice for undergraduates].”

Undergraduate and alumni voting members also unanimously accepted a series of proposed language changes to the Governing Laws that reflects modern-day language and usage, and learned that the 2017 Grand Chapter will be hosted in Providence, R.I.

Attendees then wrapped up the affair by traveling to the nearby J. Dwight Peterson International Headquarters building in Evanston, Ill., where they witnessed a rededication of the Headquarters building marking the 50th year since its construction. They also toured the Fraternity’s new, state-of-the-art Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi.

Headquarters Toasts its Last 50 Years With Rededication Ceremony

After wrapping up the 2016 Grand Council conference in Skokie, Ill., attendees traveled to nearby Evanston, Ill., to enjoy barbecue, tour the new Chuck and Kim Watson Museum of Sigma Chi, and witness a rededication of the Fraternity’s J. Dwight Peterson International Headquarters building. The latter was opened 50 years ago.

Highlighting the ceremony was an address by Order of Constantine Sig and Significant John Peterson, INDIANA 1955 In addition to being a member of the Sigma Chi Foundation’s board of governors, Peterson is the son of 38th Grand Consul J. Dwight Peterson, INDIANA 1919, for whom the Headquarters building is named. In his speech, Peterson talked about how his father would not have become Grand Consul if not for the urging of 29th Grand Consul L. G. Balfour, INDIANA 1907, who said that the elder Peterson would be a strong leader of the Fraternity. Balfour and the elder Peterson are members of the Order of Constantine, as well as recipients of the Significant Sig Award.

John Peterson says that the existence of a Headquarters building bearing his father’s name is a testament to the legacy of his work on behalf of Sigma Chi. “My father was so proud of that, and it was a couple of years before he died that it was proposed that we name it after him,” Peterson says. “Every time I think of Sigma Chi, I think of my father.”

Though Peterson entered into the Chapter Eternal in 1990, his son says that he would have held the Fraternity as it exists in 2016 in high regard.

“He’d be so proud of the Fraternity’s place in the world today,” Peterson says. “L. G. Balfour stood there and challenged all of us at the centennial [Grand Chapter in 1955] to be sure that nothing about our Fraternity ever became tarnished. The brothers who we remember so well in the Chapter Eternal, this is all for them.”

In addition to Peterson, the following spoke at the rededication: executive director Michael Church, ILLINOIS 2005; 63rd Grand Consul and museum renovation committee chairman Lee Beauchamp, TEXAS A&M-COLLEGE STATION 1975; 69th Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978; and Sigma Chi Foundation president and CEO Ashley Woods, EAST

BROTHERS TRAVEL FROM ACROSS NORTH AMERICA TO BALFOUR LTW

The Fraternity hosted 1,805 attendees, including 1,326 undergraduates, at the 2016 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW) at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, from July 28 to July 30. It was the 12th time the Fraternity hosted Balfour LTW at the university, making it the event’s most popular destination since it began in 1947.

At the event, a total of 274 facilitators trained undergraduates and alumni on their volunteer

roles within the Fraternity, whether they be Consul, Quaestor, Magister, chapter advisor or house corporation officer. Undergraduate chapter officers began large-group discussions following the opening session of Balfour LTW on Thursday. Those and subsequent small-group discussions were based upon the men’s officer positions for the 2016 to 2017 school year. Within discussion groups, undergraduates talked about best practices and common challenges they may face within their roles.

As part of the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s “Five for the Fight” fundraising campaign, the Sigs had been instructed to write the name of a person they know who has been affected by cancer on their palms and to donate $5 to cancer research in that person’s honor.

During the workshop, undergraduates also convened with their chapter brothers and facilitators to formulate chapter-specific goals for the coming year. The goals were part of a strategic plan and will be a guiding tool for the collegians as they begin and progress through the school year. Undergraduates also met with other representatives from their province within the Fraternity.

At Balfour LTW, 68th Grand Consul Michael Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982 , led a town hall meeting with Magisters about the new Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B) pledge program, which was to be implemented within each Sigma Chi chapter this fall.

“Over the course of the last eight years, Sigma Chi has been looking to standardize the pledge program,” Greenberg notes, adding that in recent years other fraternities have eliminated pledgeship. “In 2013, the Fraternity made a commitment at Grand Council that there needs to be a pledge program [remaining as part of the organization]. It needs to be thoughtful [and] reflective.”

He added that such a pledge program needs to be values-based, espousing the Fraternity’s ideals, so that Sigma Chis can inspire recruits and show them that being a brother is about honoring a lifelong commitment.

As such, the P4B program was alpha- and beta tested during the 2015 to 2016 school year and tweaked based upon the feedback from its participants. Greenberg says that in the history of the Fraternity’s leadership programs, there has never been such a large piloting of them as there has been with P4B.

Also at Balfour LTW, Order of Constantine Sigs Jeff Greene, WYOMING 1975 , and Mark Anderson, ILLINOIS 1977, hosted a town hall meeting with chapter advisors to discuss the new pledge program, and Magisters were trained on how to implement it within their chapters this fall.

On the Thursday night of Balfour LTW, Order of Constantine Sig and 69th Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978 , delivered his State of the Fraternity address. “What is most exciting about this program [P4B] is that like our Ritual, our pledges will now be exposed to a universal experience,” he said in it. “We’re going to prove to university administrators, to your parents and to new members that our pledge program is meaningful, beneficial and totally devoid of hazing.”

Ursillo further said attendees needed to make a commitment that they would not tolerate hazing and that they would intervene if they witnessed any form of it. “I am here this evening to charge you to live up to the expectations of our Ritual and to exemplify the ideals of friendship, justice and learning in your daily lives, but most importantly, to hold your brothers accountable to all [of] these same expectations.”

Chapters Honored for Raising More Than $50K to Fight Cancer

As a way to honor Sigma Chi International Fraternity chapters that have raised at least $50,000 in a year to benefit to Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), the latter organization recognized two charter members of what it calls its $50K Club at the 2016 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop (LTW). The recognition of the undergraduate chapters at the University of Utah and Loyola University Chicago came during the closing session of Balfour LTW on July 30, 2016. They raised $66,806.65 and $52,003.06, respectively, between Aug. 1, 2015, and July 31, 2016.

Three years ago, HCI created the $20K Club to recognize chapters that had raised $20,000 in a year; the inaugural class included seven chapters. This year’s members of the group totaled 29, according to Brandon Plewe, UTAH 2006 , development officer for HCI.

“We have two incredible schools who have pushed the envelope even further and prompted us to create the $50K Club,” he said at Balfour LTW.

Members of the fundraising clubs, along with the Fraternity’s other chapters, helped Sigma Chi surpass its $1.2 million fundraising goal for HCI during the 2015 to 2016 academic year by more than $100,000. In total, chapters raised $1,337,732 for HCI for the year. Additionally, Sigma Chi pledged in 2015 to raise $10 million for HCI by 2022, and is ahead of schedule in fulfilling the promise, donating a total of $4.3 million to the organization so far.

At Balfour LTW, HCI officials presented members of the $50K Club awards to note their status. For Ben Berger, UTAH 2016, his chapter’s designation as an inaugural member of the club is only the beginning. “We’ve worked to create … [a] donation network of alumni and their contacts, and by furthering those outreach efforts [with them], we believe that we will be able to maintain this level of giving for many years to come,” he says.

After Ursillo’s address, the Fraternity reinstalled its chapter at Bowling Green State University, initiating 30 men into it. It was the second time such an event has been held at Balfour LTW in Sigma Chi’s history; it followed the 2007 the reactivation of the chapter at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

In addition, 65th Grand Consul Bob Jones, RENSSELAER 1973 , and 62nd Grand Consul Doug Carlson, MINNESOTA 1973 , joined 22nd Grand Historian Michael Codina, CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1993 , to host a Ritual-history talk during SigFest, at which brothers learned more about the Fraternity’s different eras and principal figures. Jones and Carlson are both inductees into the Order of Constantine, as well as recipients of the Significant Sig Award.

The event concluded with a Saturday night closing session at Bowling Green State’s Stroh Center arena, in which keynote speaker, actor and Significant Sig Eric Close, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1989, addressed the crowd. Close portrays Teddy Conrad on the television show Nashville, and played Travis Tanner on USA Network’s Suits

Also at the closing session, Ethan Pickering, CASE WESTERN 2015 , accepted the International Balfour Award (IBA), which recognized him as Sigma Chi’s “most outstanding graduating senior.” Pickering earned an undergraduate degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering with a 4.0 GPA. He also received a master’s degree in mechanical engineering over the summer from his alma mater, and is studying for his Ph.D. in the same field at California Institute of Technology.

While an undergraduate, Pickering interned in the thermal energy branch of NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, played on the varsity baseball team, was president of the Interfraternity Council and was his chapter’s Consul, Kustos and historian. He was a member of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering honor society and the Order of Omega honor society, and cofounded the organization Greeks Against Sexual Assault on his campus.

The next night, brothers participated in SigFest, the annual collection of games and activities that takes place at Balfour LTW. There, participants competed in a three-on-three basketball tournament and played Zorb soccer, cornhole, broomball and casino games. The event also included a raffle with prizes such as a PlayStation 4, Beats by

After his name was announced as the IBA winner, he addressed the crowd. “In thinking about what Sigma Chi has meant to me, I remember the great Jimmy Valvano speech about what it means to live,” he said. “[Valvano] said that every day, you should laugh, you should think, and you should have your emotions brought to tears. Sigma Chi has made me laugh, it has made me think, and it has brought me to tears. I hope Sigma Chi means as much to you as it does to me as you go through your own journey.”

Finally that night, the Fraternity presented many of its undergraduate awards, including the Daniel William Cooper Award to the chapter at the University of Idaho; the James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award to nine chapters; and the Legion of Honor Award to 23 chapters.

The Fraternity presented the Peterson Significant Chapter Award to 86 chapters, including three that received Peterson Significant Chapter Gold Awards for scoring between 97 and 100 percent on their applications. The Gold award winners were Clarkson University, the University of South Alabama and the University of New Haven, with the latter having the highest score on the annual report, which is used to determine the award winners.

TV Actor Eric Close Shares His Wisdom at Balfour LTW

Significant Sig and actor Eric Close, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1989, reminded attendees in a keynote speech at the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop that life is a gift, that it is important to keep their word — whether it be a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ — and to find balance in their lives.

The actor, who played FBI Agent Martin Fitzgerald in the CBS series, Without a Trace, said that in 1986, when he lived in his chapter house as a sophomore, the house caught fire. He was awakened in the early morning as a fire alarm went off.

“When I opened my window, the window next door to me exploded in flames,” Close explained, noting that the hallway was on fire and brothers were trying to throw water on the flames to extinguish them. “I had to punch my roommate to get him to wake up. I dragged him out the window, and there were [Sigma Alpha Epsilons] waiting at the bottom to help us. There were guys jumping out second-story windows.”

Close said there were 55 people in the house, which burned to the ground in five minutes. “And not one of us died, because a handful of brothers — actually, two — they didn’t go out of the flames, they ran into the flames,” he noted. “These guys went in and they kicked down doors and they pulled guys out.”

Close said the experience showed him the true meaning of brotherhood. He went on to urge people to find equilibrium in their lives.

“I can’t express enough how important it is, brothers, to make time in your life for your family, for your friends, for your main activities that you love to do,” Close said, adding that doing so will make one more productive, healthy and happy, and their relationships will thrive.

The dinner welcomed distinguished visitors, or professionals who visit undergraduates at the workshop. Close was a distinguished visitor and has acted in the TV series Nashville, which was broadcast on ABC. He was also in the USA Network’s Suits. Raymond is also an Order of Constantine Sig.

The actor also told the story of how, years ago, his work schedule had changed and it became inconvenient for him to fly from Los Angeles to Dallas to be in a friend’s wedding. Close cancelled plans to be at the event the Friday before it was to take place, and the next morning, he struggled with what to do. “In my mind, it kept going over and over again, ‘Let your yes be yes and your no be no.’ … and I couldn’t take it anymore and I jumped up and I shook my brothers [who were my roommates] awake, and I said, ‘Guys, I’ve got to go to LAX [airport] right now. I’ve got to catch a flight to Dallas,’” he said.

Close made it to the wedding and at the reception, he met his wife, to whom he has now been married 21 years.

Chris Jones, TEXAS-AUSTIN 2019, was in the crowd and was struck by one of his messages in particular.

“What he talked about in terms of those brothers who refused to leave anyone behind [in the house fire] was a reminder of what true friendship is all about,” Jones said. “It was firm reminder to me that when I get back to Austin, I need to look out for my brothers, my friends and the chapter as a whole, not just myself.”

THE SIG LIST

Things to know, notice and tell a brother

The brothers responsible for selecting Barbara Tanner as Sigma Chi’s first International Sweetheart at Grand Chapter in 1948 were Significant Sigs John Wayne, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1929; Order of Constantine Sig Milton Caniff, OHIO STATE 1930; and Steve Hannagan, PURDUE 1922. Here, Tanner accepts a sweetheart trophy from Wayne at the event.

Known on the football field and in the stands as T-Rac, mascot of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, Peter Nelson, NORTH ALABAMA 1998, announced his retirement in July 2016 after 17 years. Nelson got his start as a mascot by portraying Leo the lion, the mascot for the University of North Alabama.

On Oct. 27, 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it approved the first oncolytic, or cancer-killing, virus therapy to treat melanoma lesions in the skin and lymph nodes. The virus therapy, called lmlygic, is injected inside cancerous cells where it would replicate, causing them to rupture and die, according to the FDA. Dr. Robert Andtbacka of the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Dr. Howard Kaufman of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey led the study of this treatment.

In 2007, the Fraternity created the Sigma Chi Military Service Recognition Pin to honor brothers who serve or who have served in their nations’ militaries. So far, it has been presented to more than 1,700 members of the Fraternity.
