Letter from the Grand Consul

Brothers and Friends,

Adversity is guaranteed in life. It cannot be avoided, papered over or wished away. Although painful, it can be cathartic to experience it. Although challenging, it can be conquered. What matters is how you react to it. The compelling story of Adam Gorlitsky, SOUTH CAROLINA 2008 , in this edition of The Magazine of Sigma Chi is proof that courage, hope and perseverance are the antidotes to adversity. The common theme is how we find meaning and purpose in our lives when we confront the challenges of adversity. Most importantly, we cannot be successful doing it alone.

I came face-to-face with the power of adversity and the fear that accompanies it when my wife, Diane, was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer more than 21 years ago. The psychological and emotional blow of coping with that news was overwhelming, frightful and chastening. It became acute when our 6-year-old daughter plaintively asked, “[Is] Mommy going to die?”

Many emotions flooded our psyches and every day became a roller coaster ride. Fortunately, my wife was determined to fight this disease that invaded her body with every fiber of her being. Together, we enlisted the support of family, friends and mentors — especially my pastor, Father Joe. Diane had a superb oncologist who was a college classmate of mine and was one of the best surgeons in Rhode Island. The managing partners at our respective law firms gave us support and plenty of time off to address the manifold challenges we faced on a daily basis. Ultimately, Diane won the battle against this dreaded disease. The Huntsman Cancer Institute’s challenge to Fraternity members to be the generation that ends cancer takes on an enhanced meaning under such circumstances.

From this experience of fighting cancer with my wife, I learned from her the power of the mind and body to overcome adversity. From the first moment of the diagnosis, she was determined to overcome this disease. She never lost hope, even during “our months of gloom.” She sought the love and support of those who surrounded her and resolved to take back her body. She persevered in defeating the cancer. She did not succumb; rather, she succeeded.

Diane and I became the persons we are today in part because of the anguish suffered throughout that period of adversity. As Significant Sig Bill George, GEORGIA TECH 1964 , notes in his book, True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership, crucibles enable us to learn that life is uncertain and they become important growth opportunities. My wife and I endured our crucible and survived. We are closer to one another because the experience took possession of our hearts. We were able to persevere with the help of the welcome hands and warm hearts of the many who surrounded and embraced us. We grew in mind and spirit because we chose to confront and defeat this adversity that spilled into our lives. We never lost hope. Our lives have forever taken on new meaning as a result of conquering this challenge. Like Gorlitsky, we succeeded!

Find It Here, Find It Now.

Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,

The main feature story in this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi is a reminder to me that not only are individuals able to overcome great challenges if they persevere, but that they often do so only with the love and support of friends.

In this issue, we highlight Adam Gorlitsky, SOUTH CAROLINA 2008 , who was paralyzed in a car accident in college and is learning to walk again with the use of a ReWalk™ robotic exoskeleton. At the time of the accident, Gorlitsky took a semester off of school and then rejoined his friends there to continue classes. Chapter brother Hunter Williams, 2007, says they treated him as they did before his accident, only when Gorlitsky came back to school, they forced him to perform routine tasks in their shared apartment on his own. Gortlitsky’s friends were not going to do them for him, seemingly to ensure that he adapted to his new reality.

Gorlitsky did become accustomed to performing daily activities in a new way, yet life continued to present him ups and downs. He faced disappointment because of the manner in which people treated him because he was in a wheelchair. This is where his friends continue to come in, providing him moral support and trying to protect him from the pain that others could cause if they judge him because of his paraplegia. Of course, the latter may be an overwhelming task, because one cannot control the emotional reactions of others, but showing such concern is a way in which Gorlitsky’s friends show they care.

In speaking with Gorlitsky for this story, it is clear that he has drawn strength from his loved ones. Hopefully everyone reading this Magazine has someone from whom they can do the same, because it is much easier to face challenges with others by your side than it is do so alone.

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Sincerely,

Online Socializing

Now on Video: Quarterly supplements to The Magazine of Sigma Chi

In order to create a more engaging online presence, Sigma Chi International Fraternity has begun to provide online video supplements to accompany issues of The Magazine of Sigma Chi For the winter 2015 to 2016 supplements to The Magazine, which featured Cole Swindell, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 2005 , we sat down with Swindell on his tour bus to talk about the reasons he joined the Fraternity. At the time of this writing, the first Swindell video, at youtube.com/sigmachifraternity, had been viewed 1,164 times since it was posted on Dec. 21, 2015.

In October 2015, we posted a video that focused on Chris Williams, UTAH 1985 , and how Sigma Chi helped shape him into the man he is today — one who forgave the teenage drunk driver who crashed into his family’s car, killing his pregnant wife and two children. Williams was featured in the fall 2015 Magazine, and his story is the basis for the independent film, Just Let Go

Share What Makes You Proud to be Associated with Sigma Chi International Fraternity

For those who like to share pictures online, the Fraternity has a new way for its members to express what Sigma Chi means to them. The weekly contest, #proudtobeasigmachi, sponsored by Campus Classics, gives brothers, sweethearts, family and significant others the opportunity to post with a purpose, sharing stories that let others know the impact the Fraternity has made on them.

The winner of the Dec. 30, 2015, #proudtobeasigmachi contest, Brian Giles, NORTH TEXAS 2016 , shared a special moment: His first time visiting the chapter house of his father, Chris Giles, KENT STATE 1988 , during the chapter’s 50th anniversary on Nov. 27, 2015, along with his brother Kyle Giles, NORTH TEXAS 2013.

“Having the whole family be a part of Sigma Chi is really big; it was the whole reason I joined. My brother’s and my dad’s relationship, which was already really strong [before Kyle was initiated], had a whole other [level] to it which I didn’t understand until I got initiated,” says Brian Giles, who adds that going to the anniversary celebration was a great way to meet his dad’s college friends.

The photo of the Giles men at the Kent State chapter house received 770 likes and 19 comments on Instagram; 15 retweets and 43 likes on Twitter; and three shares and 29 likes on Facebook as of March 10, 2016.

Making a Difference in Your Life and the Lives of Others

Others’ Success is Music to His Ears

When Order of Constantine Sig Leon Peterson, UTAH 1961 , hears that musicians need financial support to nurture their talent, he finds a way to help.

Beautiful music has always inspired Order of Constantine Sig Leon Peterson, UTAH 1961 , and now he is encouraging young musicians to create it. It has been a natural progression for the affable gentleman who can’t read a note, much less carry a tune.

“From a very early age I enjoyed beautiful music,” says Peterson. “The only two girls I ever dated were ballerinas, so I had their exposure to music. . . . I think beautiful music can make everybody’s life better. I’ve coined a phrase, at least I think I’ve coined it, but if someone else said it, I’ll defer. I say, ‘Music is what feelings sound like.’”

And Peterson has a lot of feelings. He says his experiences in Sigma Chi International Fraternity and the brothers he has met along the way have been among the most influential in his life. He takes very seriously the charge to take the best of what he has learned during his life, including those experiences, and share it with the world. For Peterson, that has influenced him to offer financial assistance to budding young musicians and fundraise for the University of Utah’s School of Music. His efforts prompted the Fraternity to name him the Mark V. Anderson Character-in-Action™ Leadership Award winner for spring 2016.

Peterson’s love for music goes back to his undergraduate days. As a finance student, he took a music appreciation class at the University of Utah, and enjoyed it so much he repeated it with a different instructor as a way to expand his horizons.

When Peterson went on his two-year Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints mission to England in 1958, he visited famous venues like Covent Gardens, which is home to the Royal Opera House, and Royal Albert Hall, which hosts performances by renowned musicians. Peterson says he saw the great musical talents of the time.

When Peterson returned to college to complete

his degree, his musical inspiration kept growing. “There was a brother named Gerry Clifton, [ 1962 ]. I haven’t seen him [since] we graduated,” Peterson says. “Walking down the hall at lunch, he would have this beautiful music on in his room — operas, arias.”

However, as with many who lack musical talent, Peterson’s passion for music remained mostly personal as he went about building a life.

He eventually earned an MBA and, while teaching at the Utah School of Business, tried to get a business off of the ground. Over time he built Peterson Development, which focuses on home and commercial real estate construction, infrastructure development and land acquisition.

Additionally, Peterson helped with efforts to rebuild his old chapter house, which was, he says, in shambles. His support of the project was more than cajoling alumni to assist with fundraising efforts in the 1990s, as he says he contributed a significant amount to the $2.8-million renovation.

When it came time to dedicate the renovated 1915 structure, Peterson’s two passions converged. He literally walked across the street from the Fraternity house and asked the University of Utah’s music department to provide a choir for the grand opening on Sept. 30, 2000, and that opened a relationship with its chairman, Ed Thompson. “Later he wanted to see me,” Peterson recalls. “He said, ‘We musicians know how to make music, but we don’t know how to make money. I’d like you to come on board.’”

What happened next is truly remarkable.

Peterson and his wife Karen, as co-chairs of the project, threw their hearts into a multi-million dollar fundraising campaign to remodel and expand the music department into what became known as the university’s School of Music. But he didn’t stop after the project was completed. Peterson began and continues to put together an annual concert at the

Character-in-Action

university’s 680-seat Libby Gardner Concert Hall, selecting the music and the musicians.

Peterson has also held free Sunday concerts at his ranch, and has donated money to help fund scholarships at the School of Music. And most importantly, he has provided direct monetary support to musicians such as Aubree Oliverson, a 17-year-old violist who soloed at Carnegie Hall in New York City five years ago and studies at the Colburn Music Conservatory in Los Angeles. Peterson has also helped 13-year-old vocalist Lexi Walker, whose rendition with artist Alex Boye of the song Let it Go from the movie Frozen has garnered 75.9 million views on YouTube. She has appeared at Carnegie Hall and on the TV show America’s Got Talent

Peterson’s support has, in part, paved the way for some musicians to attend the renowned Julliard School in New York City and other institutions.

“He has a big heart, not just for music, which he loves, but for people — talented young people,” says April Goddard, the director of development for the University of Utah’s music school. “I think he has done the same thing for the young men of Sigma Chi. I think there are some similarities in what he has done. . . . Leon is from very modest means. He created a successful career, with bumps along the way, like [with] many entrepreneurs. . . . He has tried to support young people and give them the help he got from Sigma Chi and [the] music that helped sustain him.”

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.

Driving Toward a Goal

After making it to the semifinals of the U.S. Senior Amateur three times in the 2010s, Chip Lutz, FLORIDA 1976 , finally tastes victory. By Tom VanHaaren, CENTRAL MICHIGAN 2005

The U.S. Senior Amateur had been plaguing Chip Lutz, FLORIDA 1976 , since 2010, when he first made it to the semifinals of the prestigious golf event. The 60-year-old Lutz made it to this stage again in 2011 and 2013, but was unable then to advance to the final round of play.

He had, however, won both the British Senior Amateur and the Canadian Senior Amateur in 2011 and 2012. Yet it was the U.S. Senior Amateur that had stayed on his mind all of these years.

“I got to the semifinals in my very first year and followed that up the next year with another appearance and I lost three times in four years,” Lutz says. “I was in the semi-final and was unable to win.”

However, with much dedication and the inspiration from others, including his 89-year-old mother, Lutz turned things around in 2015.

Growing up in Reading, Pa., Lutz won amateur tournaments as a youth and eventually joined the University of Florida golf team as a walk-on. There, he formed a friendship with teammate Kipp Minter, 1973 , who became his Fraternity Big Brother after Lutz joined Sigma Chi. Over the years, Minter and Lutz remained close friends; they get together once every other year to golf.

“His golf game improved as he got older,” Minter says of his friend. He and Lutz were on the University of Florida team when it won an NCAA Division I tournament in 1973.

“I was the captain of the team, but we had such a good team that Chip and I didn’t get to play in the NCAA tournament that year. Gary Koch, Andy Bean, Phillip Hancock, Woody Blackburn were all on the team, and they all ended up playing … and winning,” Minter says of his teammates who eventually joined the PGA Tour.

While the Gators won the NCAA championship in 1973, Lutz never did see playing time and quit the team after two years. He eventually graduated from the University of Florida, went on to the Widenar University Delaware Law School, from where he received a degree in 1985, and then began working

in the title insurance industry in his home state of Pennsylvania. He now works for Sentry Abstract Co. of Wyomissing, Pa.

It wasn’t until 1994 when a familiar name ignited Lutz’s desire to start thinking more deeply about his amateur career.

World Golf Hall-of-Famer Byron Nelson had been the head golf professional at Reading (Pa.) Country Club, where Lutz’s father, Buddy, was a member and played most of his golf. Nelson coached Buddy from 1937 to 1939 and remained a friend of the family.

The family eventually lost touch until Lutz got a hold of Nelson’s autobiography, How I Played the Game, in 1994. In the book, Nelson writes about his time with the Lutz family. Knowing this inspired Lutz to write the famous golfer a four-page letter about his relatives, ultimately asking if he and Nelson could meet.

“[In] the letter I got back from him, he took such great interest [in me] and welcomed me to come out and visit with him. I arranged in the spring of 1994 a trip out to Dallas/Fort Worth (Texas) and he personally picked me up from the airport,” Lutz says. “I stayed with him for two nights and three days, playing golf and . . . talking.”

After shooting an impressive 67 in one of the rounds they played, Lutz asked Nelson if he had any tips for him to improve his game. Nelson told him he was already a great golfer, he just needed more time

on the course.

The two kept in touch until Nelson passed away in 2006, a year after Lutz lost his father.

In 2010, Lutz would have turned 55, making him eligible to join senior amateur golf. That is when he began to focus more on the game, and he began to have tremendous success at it. But after losing the U.S. Senior Amateur three times, he entered 2015 with the tournament looming large. In about nine months, he would play in the contest. He prepared for the tournament, and this time, he finally broke through, beating Tim Jackson one up after the two tied the final hole.

His mother was there to watch him play a competitive round of golf for the first time in his career, so Lutz made sure he played his best round yet.

“Once I won the semifinal match, I called my brother and asked him to bring my mom to the course, because they were only about two hours away,” Lutz says. “My mom was there to watch my entire match and that was really special.”

What made it even more meaningful was that Lutz won the tournament that had slipped away from his grasp three times prior. He defeated Tom Brandes of Bellevue, Wash., to take the tournament.

“Finally this past year was my turn, I guess.” Lutz says. “It took me a long time to finally get it, but the victory was the sweetest, that’s for sure.”

After making it to the semifinals of the U.S. Senior Amateur in 2010, 2011 and 2013, Chip Lutz, FLORIDA 1976 , won the event in 2015. Above, he shows his excitement at the Oct. 1, 2015, event in Egg Harbor Township, N.J.

Alumni chapter and association updates

Albuquerque

During the last quarter of 2015, our chapter had increased its attendance at monthly meet-ups and hosted a post-initiation luncheon, which featured a greater number of alumni than new initiates. We also planned to host a centennial celebration for the University of New Mexico undergraduate chapter on June 17 and 18, 2016. The events will be hosted at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albuquerque, N.M., and at the chapter house. We have officially re-elected the members of our officer corps to serve for another year, and we can’t wait to keep growing and thriving.

~Alex Borowski, NEW MEXICO 2013

Atlanta

The chapter held its annual meeting on Oct. 23, 2015, at the Cherokee Town Club in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta. More than 80 brothers indicated their intention to attend the meeting, including five recipients of the Significant Sig Award and six members of the Order of Constantine. Dan Corso, FLORIDA STATE 1989, vice president of the Atlanta Sports Council and son of legendary ESPN broadcaster Lee Corso, was the event’s guest speaker. Throughout 2016, we plan to host skeet shooting and golf events, as well as our annual meeting, which will once again take place in October.

~Michael Banks, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 1980

Austin

Our chapter is thriving. We are continually getting emails from individuals who have recently moved to the area and want to get involved with the alumni chapter. In addition, we have welcomed some very interesting guest speakers for our monthly lunches, which usually have a very good turnout, and we hosted a nice Christmas party in December 2015. Our members make an effort to keep in close contact with the brothers at the University of Texas at Austin in hopes of easing their eventual transition from undergraduates to alumni as they enter the “real world.”

~Anthony Allegretti, LOYOLA (CHICAGO) 2013

Bismarck

Our chapter has adopted Open Your Heart as its annual charity project. Sponsored by the American Legion Lloyd Spetz Post No. 1, Open Your Heart is a community-supported charitable campaign that has been in operation since 1930 and collects donations of money and food each holiday season. The items and money are given to families in need throughout the North Dakota counties of Bismarck and Burleigh. Significant Sig Bob Wefald, NORTH

DAKOTA 1964 , stepped down after 12 years as the non-profit organization’s chairman at the end of 2015. Rick Kramlich, NORTH DAKOTA STATE 2000 , will take over as chairman for the 2016 campaign. Our brothers also donated more than $1,000 in canned goods at their fourth-quarter Sig Social event.

~Wefald

Boise

We thank the Boise State undergraduate chapter members for joining us at our annual Christmas party in December 2015. After their initiation, approximately 50 undergraduates and their guests joined us at the party. We thank Chris Privon, TENNESSEE TECH 1979 , and Keron Privon for generously hosting it. At the time of this writing, we looked forward to our luncheon on Feb. 11, 2016.

For more information about our regular meetings, refer to the directory in this issue of The Magazine

~Mike Beroth, AUSTIN PEAY 1985

Chattanooga

Last year’s annual Homecoming golf tournament was a success, even though it rained during the week preceding the event; as always, we give thanks to the what we call the Royal and Ancient Golf Committee, for its members’ work in planning and hosting the event. Thankfully, Scot Fry, TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA 1979, reminded us that God is a Sig as the event went on as planned. Big thanks to all of the players and sponsors for their support of the tournament. Fundraising proceeds will be distributed to the Children’s Hospital at Erlanger in Chattanooga, Tenn., as well as Skip Miller, TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA 2002 , to help support his daughter, who was born with a rare disease called spinal muscular atrophy. Miller has a gofundme.com page used to collect funds.

~Wes Dennis, TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA 2003

Cincinnati

Our Cincinnati Sigs Holiday Reception was an opportunity for our alumni and their spouses or better halves to partake in an evening of food, fun and fundraising to support education and technology initiatives at the University of Cincinnati undergraduate chapter. We thanked our brothers for another great year of support, and wished their families a safe and happy holiday season. As of this writing, we planned to return to business as usual with our January luncheon. Also, our Brother’s Day celebration was planned for Feb. 13, 2016, in the newly renovated Nippert Stadium Lounge inside of the University of Cincinnati’s football stadium.

~James Schwyn, CINCINNATI 2013

Dallas

Our luncheons in 2015 featured notable speakers such as the mayor of Dallas, Mike Rawlings; the SMU football coach, Chad Morris; and senators. The chapter’s regular social activities include quarterly happy hours, a sweetheart dinner in February, socials for recent graduates and a Christmas party. Our annual golf outing has raised more than $10,000

throughout the years for the purchase of Ritual regalia for chapters within the North Texas province, to be used during their initiation ceremonies. Mark your calendars for our golf event on April 23, 2016. For more information, visit dallassigs.org or search for “Dallas Sigma Chi Alumni Chapter” on LinkedIn or “Dallas Sigs” on Facebook.

~Don Knudsen, TEXAS TECH 1971

Flagstaff

We debuted our beautiful Sig alumni tent at Northern Arizona University (NAU)’s Homecoming in October 2015, and we planned to use it at the Larry Lemke Memorial Golf Tourney in Tucson, Ariz., on Feb. 6, 2016. The latter event is named in memory of Larry Lemke, NORTHERN ARIZONA 1972

The tent will also be seen at our reunion on July 22 at Continental Country Club in Flagstaff, Ariz., and at the event’s banquet on the following day at the Elks Club, also in Flagstaff. As of this writing, we had awarded five $500 scholarships to NAU undergraduates from our scholarship fund.

~Ryan Metcalf, NORTH TEXAS 2010

Fresno

The house corporation board for the Cal. State-Fresno undergraduate chapter reviewed a proposal to replace the property’s heating and air conditioning system in the chapter house. Many of you might be saying to yourselves, “The house has a heater?” Well, it does, but it hasn’t worked since Lyndon Johnson was president in the 1960s. Our goal is to check out bid options and determine what the extra costs would be in repairing or replacing the heater. It would be necessary for the house corporation to take out a loan in order to make this happen. The lighting project for the outdoor

walkway that runs between the fraternity houses has also been completed.

~Order of Constantine Sig Jim Vaux, CAL. STATE-FRESNO 1968

Greater Fairfield

Our chapter is excited to begin the planning process to host quarterly events and bi-monthly dinners. Our events will include a Founders Day celebration, summer alumni picnic, Homecoming tailgate party and a holiday dinner. If you are interested in learning more about or getting involved in the alumni chapter, please contact James Heffner, WESTERN CONNECTICUT 2013 , using the contact information found in the chapter’s directory listing of this Magazine issue.

~Heffner

Greater Nebraska

In June 2015, we held our annual summer showcase event at the Lincoln (Neb.) Country Club, where we introduced key members of the University of Nebraska undergraduate chapter to potential new members and their parents; this event has proven critical to the chapter’s continued success in recruitment. Fall was highlighted by two events: a Homecoming gathering at the undergraduate chapter house on Oct. 1, and a luncheon at the Lincoln Country Club on Oct. 22. We look forward to experiencing a productive new year and placing emphasis on growing our membership, while getting more alumni involved in strategic areas of importance to the health of the undergraduate chapter.

~Significant Sig Steve Davis, NEBRASKA 1967

Hartford

Our members spent the fall and winter seasons supporting the seven undergraduate chapters in the Connecticut/Rhode Island province in their initiation ceremonies. Special thanks to Peter Keefe, CONNECTICUT 1967, and Carl Graveline, CONNECTICUT 1981 , for their continuous efforts to improve the Fraternity’s operations in our area; and of course to Order of Constantine Sig and Connecticut/Rhode Island province Grand Praetor Keith Moody, CONNECTICUT 1989, who is now living in Houston and traveling from there to our events.

On an unusually warm Dec. 11, 2015, our members gathered for the chapter’s annual Christmas party and business meeting.

The chapter hopes to connect with more alumni of nearby undergraduate chapters.

~Brandon Way, NEW HAVEN 2012

New York City

In 2015, our chapter appointed a new executive board and officers, and in the future, we plan to combine our group with the New Jersey and Connecticut alumni chapters to form the New York Metropolitan Alumni Chapter. In addition to hosting mixers with alumnae of the Chi Omega women’s fraternity and the Sigma Kappa Sorority, we held our annual Christmas party that brought together brothers and their significant others from New Jersey, Connecticut and New York City. Heading into 2016, we have multiple irons in the fire with industry networking functions, sorority mixers and numerous philanthropic activities planned.

~Ron Leung, TORONTO-RYERSON 2012

The Toronto Alumni Chapter had invited Significant Sig Ken Taylor, TORONTO-RYERSON 1957 , to be the keynote speaker at our banquet at the Badminton and Racquet Club of Toronto on Dec. 7. Taylor died six weeks before the event on Oct. 15, 2015, and we had to change our plans for the evening. Instead, Sigs who knew him well as an undergraduate and as an alumnus before he joined Canada’s Foreign Service gave their remembrances of him. Sixtieth Grand Consul Douglas McWhirter, TORONTO-RYERSON 1958 , above, gave an account of Taylor’s legacy. McWhirter and Taylor were initiated into Sigma Chi on Nov. 20, 1955. A White Rose Ceremony was held for Taylor at the Toronto-Ryerson chapter house on Nov. 1, 2015. On Nov. 4, 1979, Taylor and his wife, Patricia, sheltered six American hostages inside their home in Tehran, Iran; the Americans escaped when several hundred rioters stormed the U.S. Embassy. Taylor became the principal link between Iran and the United States through the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Ultimately, President Jimmy Carter contacted Canadian Prime Minister Joseph Clark to request that Taylor perform espionage work for the U.S. The Taylors secretly sheltered the Americans for three months and engineered their escape from Iran disguised as Canadian filmmakers. The escape defied the odds and illustrated Taylor’s character and ingenuity. The U.S. Congress passed a resolution of appreciation and approved the striking of a Congressional Gold Medal on March 6, 1980. Others who have received this honor are Winston Churchill, Pope John Paul II, the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela. Following the presentation of the medal to Taylor, former American Ambassador to Iran Bruce Laingen wrote about Taylor and his wife Patricia, “No truer friends for Americans exist, and yet they are Canadians to the core and proud of it.” ~McWhirter

Twin Cities

We express our appreciation of those brothers who organized and attended several events last summer, including a social event, a golf outing, 5K fun runs, social hours, a Merlin Olsen Day of Service project, and our monthly luncheons at Fuddruckers restaurant.

Ahead

For a little more than a decade, Adam Gorlitsky, SOUTH CAROLINA 2008, has seen the world from his wheelchair. He was paralyzed from the belly button down in a car accident on Dec. 30, 2005, as he drove from Columbia, S.C., to Charleston, S.C., to be home for his brother’s birthday the next day. Unfortunately, Gorlitsky was hurt so severely that he was in critical care in the hospital for a few weeks, and then was taken to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta for rehab. As he adjusted to life with paraplegia, he tried to live life as close to his old “normal” as he could. However, there were emotional hurdles for him to face as he tried to come to terms with his disability. In the midst of it all, he held out hope that he would one day walk again. While the idea that he would be able to walk again may have seemed far-fetched to some, Gorlitsky has defied the odds. In this issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi, he shares his story of perseverance.

Redefining Purpose

The same ReWalk™ robotic exoskeleton that is helping Adam Gorlitsky, SOUTH CAROLINA 2008, walk again also forced him to face his insecurities.

When Adam Gorlitsky, SOUTH CAROLINA 2008 , fell asleep at the wheel in 2005 and was injured in a car crash that left him in the hospital, paralyzed from the belly button down and with a tracheostomy, he wrote a message on a clipboard: “I will walk again.”

Eleven years later, he is walking with a ReWalk™ exoskeleton. Gorlitsky straps the leg braces and harness of the FDA-approved exoskeleton onto himself; when he begins to move, sensors detect shifts in his center of gravity and upper-body movements. This powers the exoskeleton’s motorized leg joints, helping him to propel himself forward with the use of crutches.

Gorlitsky agreed at the end of July 2015 at Roper Rehabilitation Hospital in Charleston, S.C., to try the exoskeleton, after he suffered disappointment with a work project and in his personal life. His girlfriend had just broken up with him because she could not see a future with him because of his disability – a pattern that he has seen over the past several years.

“Dating is a little tough,” he says. “ … [Often] six to 12 months go by and then someone says, ‘I can’t do this with you not walking.’”

While Gorlitsky says he has grown through each experience, he had enough this past summer, when rehab center professionals suggested he try the exoskeleton. He wanted to one day have a family, and believed he needed to walk again to sustain a relationship so he could do so.

ReWalk™ Robotics delivered the exoskeleton to him at Roper Rehabilitation Hospital on Dec. 30, 2015,

Doctors told him he would never walk again, but he is doing so with his exoskeleton.

Redefining Purpose

opposite direction saw Gorlitsky crash and called the police.

Gortlitsky was taken to the hospital, and Williams says that he and others could not recognize him as he lay in his bed, tubes everywhere. “It was pretty emotional [to be there],” Williams says. “He was literally lifeless and swollen.”

The first time Gorlitsky was in the exoskeleton, he was wobbly. He could not feel the ground to sense where he was stepping, and it was challenging to find his balance. Yet, the ability to stand in the exoskeleton was freeing, and it released suppressed emotions.

a decade after the accident that left him paralyzed. The piece of equipment is now on loan to him from the hospital, while he raises the $80,000 to buy it.

At the time of the delivery, he said in a news release, “Words cannot describe how much I want to hug a girlfriend standing up, or just talk with someone at eye level. With ReWalk™, I can do those things — things I never thought I would — again.”

The first time Gorlitsky was in the exoskeleton, he was wobbly. He could not feel the ground to sense where he was stepping, and it was challenging to find his balance. Yet, the ability to stand in the exoskeleton was freeing, and it released suppressed emotions.

It brought back memories of the disappointments he had suffered with work and the ending of relationships.

“When someone says, ‘I can’t do [this] with your injury,’ you’re like, ‘I can’t do anything about it.’ Then I got mad at the world,” Gorlitsky says.

Life-altering injuries

Gorlitsky was 19 when he was paralyzed. He was driving home from Columbia, S.C., where he had been moving into a new apartment he was going to share with chapter brother Hunter Williams, 2007, and other friends. Williams says Gortlitsky was three miles from his family’s place in Charleston, S.C., when he crashed along Interstate 26.

“He ran off an embankment and was thrown into the backseat,” says Williams, adding that a driver traveling in the

After Gorlitsky was in intensive care for two to three weeks, he says he was airlifted to Shepherd Center in Atlanta, which specializes in treatment and rehabilitation of those with spinal cord and brain injuries. It was there that Gortlitsky had what he says patients call “judgment day,” when doctors took him aside and told him that he had severed his spinal cord and would never walk again. “I took it obviously very hard,” Gorlitsky says. “I was in tears a lot at first.”

He took a semester off from school, and fortunately the loft-style apartment that he and his friends had rented was accessible. When he moved into the apartment, he was able to get around in it with his wheelchair. He saw his disability as a physical challenge, and his friends did not treat him any differently than they had before.

Gorlitsky continued to go out with his friends while in college; they went on spring break together, and he tried to have as normal a life as possible. It was during this time, Williams says, that Gorlitsky got sympathy from women who saw that his buddies were not giving special treatment to him because he was disabled. Instead, they made him wheel across the room to get his own drinks and grab a bowl or turn down the air conditioner in the apartment on his own.

“We never babied him or anything,” Williams says.

Following the accident, Gorlitsky was forced to redefine himself. A high school basketball player, he had already left his playing days when he graduated, but he always considered himself an athlete. Now paralyzed, he focused on completing his marketing major while in college, and after graduation, he worked on a career in filmmaking and entrepreneurship.

A changed perspective

In recent months, Gorlitsky also founded a nonprofit organization,

I Got Legs, as he raised money for the exoskeleton through a gofundme.com campaign. He also generates funds through the sale of T-shirts emblazoned with “I Got Legs,” and Williams’ sister, publicist Whitney Williams, is helping to spread word of Gorlitsky’s cause.

She became close friends with Gorlitsky as she began to work with his nonprofit organization. Since then, Whitney Williams has helped arrange fundraisers for Gorlitsky in Charleston, S.C., and has contacted publicists for well-known entertainers, whose clients have agreed to wear an I Got Legs shirt and create visibility for the cause.

For Whitney Williams, the work brings personal reward. She was three years ahead of Gortlisky in college, and saw how her brother and the other men rallied around him.

“It was neat for me to see … how tight-knit they were at getting through this together,” she says.

Now, she and Gorlitsky have developed a close friendship, and she is protective of him when he faces heartbreak and when people want to enter or re-enter his life now that he is walking. She does not want to see him get hurt again.

She says that Gorlitsky is well-known in Charleston, S.C., and is receiving attention nationwide. For Gorlitsky, the notoriety brings awareness to his efforts to help empower and connect people of all disabilities. He wants to bridge the gap between what it means to be disabled and able-bodied.

Since his accident, he has heard from others about their personal

“We’re all so emotionally connected,” says Gorlitsky, who has heard from others about their personal struggles in the years following his accident.

“You find the way they overcame [adversity] and apply that to

your life.” struggles. They may be grieving the loss of a mother or father or healing from another psychological wound. “We’re all so emotionally connected,” Gorlitsky says. “You find the way they overcame [adversity] and apply that to your life.”

Gorlitsky admits that he had to focus upon his pain, so that he could move forward. “My life changed when I looked myself in the mirror and said, ‘What am I insecure and vulnerable about?’, and I went ahead and made a change,” he says. “For me [what I am vulnerable about] is my body. I turned it into a strength.”

And so, with the help of trainers who are donating their time to help him prepare his body, he is strengthening his hip and ab muscles so that he can walk two 10K races in coming months. He planned to take part in the April 2 Cooper River Bridge Run, which stretches from Mount Pleasant, S.C., to Charleston, S.C. He is also looking forward to walking the AJC Peachtree Road Race on July 4 in Atlanta.

Gorlitsky realizes that he may not complete the races in one day, because each has an allotted time in which it needs to be finished. He plans to go back to where he left the races and complete them the next day if necessary.

As for his motivation to walk, it has altered.

“Now I’m doing this because I want to instead of needing to,” Gorlitsky says.

CAMPUS CHRONICLES

Friendship, Fun and a lot More

A Heaping Helping of Love

When the Mississippi State chapter’s longtime cook, Dosie Suell, was diagnosed with cancer, undergraduates and alumni quickly surrounded her with strong arms of support.

Though she has never gone through the ceremonies of initiation, there is little reason to doubt that Dosie Suell is as important a member of the chapter at Mississippi State as one is like to find. For nearly 40 years, Suell made breakfast, lunch and dinner for the chapter’s brothers until her retirement in May 2015. And alongside her food, she served love and affection that alumni still speak of today.

“As long as any of us have known [Dosie], she’s been a hugger,” says Jeff Read, 1978 . “That’s part of Southern culture, to show love. And when she hugs you, you feel that love coming from her.”

This past spring, Read and others rallied to return that love after they learned that Suell had been diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. He and Mississippi State Sigs with graduation years that range from 1977, when Suell started working at the chapter house, to some of today’s

From left are Wes Fulmer, 1983; Fortenberry; Dosie; Dosie’s daughter, Anita Suell; Dosie’s grandson, Dorian Suell; and Ross Hailey, 1997

undergraduates, who will be in college until 2018, have now established a five-figure trust for her medical expenses.

Suell says she learned of her diagnosis on March 15, 2015, and despite having to undergo 30 days of radiation therapy, she did not miss a day of work. “It wasn’t a problem for me to get back to work. The boys were surprised with how well I did on my treatment,” she says. “I just felt weak and didn’t have energy.”

Gage Ray, 2016 , says that he and others in the house were in shock when they learned she had cancer. “We were all very sad about that, and it was a complete surprise because she was coming into work every day and working hard,” he says.

“It’s a testament to the loyalty of the men who came through the chapter in the last 39 years. We see somebody who means something to us who is in need, and we come together to help her out.”
– Ross Hailey, MISSISSIPPI STATE 1997

While Ray and those in the chapter house had a moment of silence for her in a chapter meeting and sent her notes and flowers while she was in the hospital, it was Ross Hailey, 1997, who got the ball rolling on a fundraiser. Hailey had visited Suell at the chapter house in April and learned of Suell’s diagnosis. The news hit him, he says, like a punch to the gut.

He adds that on the way home that evening, he and a handful of brothers started thinking of what they could do for Suell, whether it would be to raise money for her or take her out to dinner. “And in just a few minutes, I had called four other guys who had volunteered to each donate $100,” Hailey says. “The more I thought about it, I realized that if I could get $500 from five guys that quickly, I could certainly reach out to others and collect even more for her as a retirement gift.”

Hailey says that his next step was to set up a fundraising account on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo, through which he could solicit donations

from chapter brothers across the country. Unsure of how much money to set as the fundraising goal, Hailey decided upon $10,000 for the campaign that began on May 1, 2015. Within a week, he had raised more than $17,000; at the end of the month, his efforts had generated more than $34,000.

“I can’t tell you how easy it was to raise the money for Dosie,” he says. “It’s a testament to the loyalty of the men who came through the chapter in the last 39 years. We see somebody who means something to us who is in need, and we come together to help her out.”

In order to minimize Suell’s tax liability from the gift, Hailey reached out to Read, a certified public account, to manage the money in a special needs trust for the purpose of paying her medical bills and other outstanding debt.

On Oct. 24, 2015, the brothers invited Suell back to the chapter house for a ceremony to unveil a portrait of her they commissioned a local photo studio to create. The portrait now hangs in the kitchen that was for so long her domain. However, the event also included the symbolic presentation of the trust to her, which she says she did not in the least expect.

“Ross told me the guys were going to get something going and do something special for me, and they did,” says Suell. “I just didn’t know they were going to dig that deep. That was just the really surprising thing to me. Just so heartwarming, yes indeedy.”

“We always told her that we were going to take care of her in her retirement, and she finally held us to our word,” Read says with a laugh. “And we’re happy to do it for her, because she means that much to us.

“Dosie would always say, ‘I have to take care of my boys’,” Read continues. “Right now, she has hundreds of her boys looking out for her.”

While the Sigs shower Suell with concern, she announced good news of her own at the ceremony: She says that since completing radiation treatment, her cancer is in remission.

Bentley Lambda Upsilon

We finished the fall 2015 semester with our inaugural Hairless for Huntsman campaign, in which more than 30 brothers offered up their heads to be shaved in a fundraising effort that collected more than $5,000. The spring 2016 semester is proving to be another successful one, with the chapter on track to complete close to 800 hours of community service. Our brothers are working with local alumni to host a golf tournament in April. It’s hard to believe that in a few short months, we will say goodbye to our third graduating class since our chapter’s installation.

~Thomas Hart, 2016

Birmingham-Southern Chi Chi

On our most recent grade report, we earned the fraternity community’s best GPA for the eighth consecutive semester, and our Derby Days philanthropic event was a success. Our Consul Graham Spencer, 2016 , earned election as an undergraduate representative to the International Fraternity’s Executive Committee, which has been an honor for our chapter. We won the university’s Homecoming competition in the fall, and we now look forward to initiating the members of our fall 2015 pledge class into the chapter.

~Faaiz Saad, 2018

Boise State Lambda Xi

Our members had quite the fulfilling fall 2015 semester, during which we worked for several hours to keep clean the highway our chapter adopted. We also celebrated the life of one of our chapter’s fallen brothers, Kendall Francisco, 2016 . Our brothers are participants in the university’s Dance Marathon fundraiser and have consistently worked to collect money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Theta Zeta

As of this writing, we are on pace to meet our goal of joining the Huntsman Cancer Institute’s 20K Club by raising at least $20,000 for cancer research. Additionally, our goal of completing 2,200 hours of philanthropy this school year is off to a strong start as we continue to work with the Boston Celtics through the Shamrock Foundation. We also had the pleasure of congratulating Alex Nielsen, 2016 , for his selection to join the U.S. Air Force to pilot F-15 Eagle fighter jets.

~Eric Valianti, 2016

British Columbia-Simon Fraser Delta Omicron

Since starting the 2015 to 2016 school year, we recruited 25 potential new members and are working to prepare them for initiation. The chapter’s initiated brothers hosted a successful Derby Days philanthropic event in October that raised more than $10,000 for charity. Likewise, our first-ever pledge-organized haunted house event took place and raised another $2,000 to benefit the British Columbia Children’s Hospital. Now, we are focusing on initiation in the hopes of welcoming 25 new brothers into our chapter.

~James Bragg, 2017

This fall 2015 semester was a productive and exciting one for us. Most recently, we have engaged in fundraising for the Movember Foundation, which seeks to target men’s health issues like physical inactivity, various cancers and mental health. As of this writing in November 2015, we were well on our way to meeting our goal of raising $5,000. The brothers have continued to thrive on campus in their studies and in extracurricular endeavors.

Bryant Lambda Eta

We recently expanded our chapter’s membership to 47 by welcoming the four new brothers of our Lambda pledge class. Local alumni Tyler Zahoruiko, 2013 , and Mike Malenfant, 2014 , facilitated a Strategic Visioning Journey retreat that helped us strengthen our brotherhood and create key foundations for success. Additionally, the chapter collected $1,440 for the St. Jude Up ‘til Dawn fundraiser and participated in workshops about sexual assault awareness, anti-hazing initiatives and responsible alcohol management. To close the fall 2015 semester, we co-sponsored the annual St. Baldrick’s head-shaving event, which benefits childhood cancer research.

~Daniel Congiusta, 2016

Bucknell Kappa

Our brothers initiated 31 new members into the chapter on Nov. 15, which is our largest initiating class in the chapter’s 152-year history. We welcomed several alumni back to the chapter for the occasion, including Andy Linden, 1992 , who pinned his son Matt, 2018 . Additionally, we elected a new slate of executive officers: Consul Zach Boyd, 2017 ; Pro Consul Nate Hunter, 2017 ; Magister Dave Hinnenkamp, 2017 ; Quaestor Justin Choi, 2017 ; and Annotator Nick Bartek, 2017.

During the fall 2015 semester, our chapter made continued improvements in almost aspects of its operations. Our brotherhood is at an all-time high thanks to the efforts of Magister Sepaus Crawford, 2017, and the improvements he made to our pledge program in order to get brothers more involved. Eight of our brothers are members of the university’s club hockey team, which has experienced tremendous success in its first year of existence. We are excited for the spring recruitment.

~Kyle Kortebein, 2017

Cal. Poly.-Pomona Theta Sigma

The chapter’s fall 2015 quarter started early, as we initiated the 18 members of our spring 2015 Beta Kappa pledge class before the start of the school year. We then prepared for our fall recruitment week. Thanks to the cooperation of many of the chapter’s brothers, we were able to recruit 18 men to pledge the chapter. We hosted a celebration of the 30th anniversary of our chapter’s founding on Nov. 14, and concluded the event with our Consul dedicating the front room of our house to Dr. Phil Rosenkrantz, KETTERING 1972 , who played a vital role in the chapter’s founding.

~Joshua Knapp, 2018

Cal. State-Fresno Epsilon Eta

This past semester, our chapter took part in the pilot phase of Sigma Chi’s new Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program. While it took a short period of time for our brothers to adjust to the program’s structure, we eventually all came to understand its value, and saw a great retention rate in its participants. Our brothers and pledges are now preparing for our spring Derby Days philanthropic event, which is set to take place in mid-April. Last year’s Derby Days event raised more than $18,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and we have set our sights on surpassing that total this year.

~Nicholas Kazanjian, 2016

Cal. State-Long Beach Eta Beta

Last fall, we initiated 10 new brothers into the chapter and reached many milestones in regard to our philanthropic and community service efforts. Among them was our acceptance of 13 awards at the university’s Greek Awards ceremony; they include Chad Kurz, 1996 , winning the Outstanding Chapter Advisor Award and Consul Christopher Terzic, 2017, winning the Be Greek Award. This spring, the chapter shifted its sights onto conducting its first-ever Derby Days philanthropic event since the chapter’s installation two years ago. Our goal for the event is to raise $20,000 for charity.

~Terzic

Cal. State-Northridge Zeta Xi

Preliminary planning for our chapter’s 50th anniversary is underway, and as the event’s April 6, 2016, date approaches, we look forward to sharing an extraordinary event with alumni from the past half-century. We recently initiated 21 new members from our Delta Rho pledge class into our ranks, and have adjusted well to the new Preparation for Brotherhood pledge process. Our newly implemented alumni-mentorship program aims to pair undergraduate brothers with alumni who work in similar fields as their corresponding majors. Our goal with this new program is to better prepare our brothers for life after college.

~Saam Bagherzadeh, 2016

Cal. State-San Bernardino lota Alpha

Our brothers were in high spirits as we headed into our annual road trip to San Francisco to end the fall quarter. We continue to conduct our values-based recruitment process, and look forward to soon initiating the members of our Beta Kappa pledge class into the chapter. We have made great strides in accumulating community service hours and planning for our annual Derby Days philanthropic event under the direction of Angel Arreola, 2018 Sean Ganther, 2017, created a comprehensive academic program to continue scholarly excellence within our chapter.

~Bryce Davis, 2016

California-Berkeley Alpha Beta

We are excited to welcome our chapter’s 12 newest initiates who hail from our fall 2015 pledge class, and thank Magister Danny Caveney, 2017, for his great work in preparing them for entrance into Sigma Chi. We continue to maintain a chapter GPA that exceeds the all-men’s average. In honor of the Merlin Olsen Day of Service, our brothers joined local alumni and the sisters of the Kappa Kappa Gamma women’s fraternity to help clean up Strawberry Creek. Outside of that, our brothers joined the women of the Alpha Phi International Fraternity in helping to create more than 100 bagged lunches for the homeless around Berkeley.

~Iosyas Teklu, 2018

California-Davis Theta Omicron

Our brothers raised almost $20,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute through our recent Derby Days philanthropic event, which is a chapter record. We grew our membership to more than 80 and rode the ensuing momentum toward participating in various community service and campus involvement efforts. As a result, we accepted our sixth-consecutive Peterson Significant Chapter Award, which we are extremely grateful and honored to receive.

~Kevin Wieder, 2017

California-Irvine Eta Sigma

Some of the main highlights of our spring 2015 quarter were the priceless moments our members got to spend with alumni at our annual retreat. The chapter’s brothers once again displayed great performances in intramural sports and philanthropies hosted by women’s Greek-letter societies, all while maintaining stellar GPAs. Some of us also managed to get more involved on campus by securing positions in the student government, housing and dorm facilities, and student orientations. We look forward to recruiting a new class of potential brothers in the coming quarter.

~Aditya Kudva, 2017

California-Los Angeles Delta Eta

Our entire chapter is thrilled to have welcomed 29 men into our brotherhood and become an essential part of the chapter. We were excited to start off another successful school year by investing more effort into the philanthropic events in which we participate, and by deepening our connection to local alumni. We continue to place importance on community service and strengthening our alumni presence.

~Diego Espinosa, 2017

California-Merced Lambda Delta

Our campus faced a tragedy on Nov. 4, 2015, when a student stabbed four people before being killed by campus police, leaving many students feeling unsafe. In the aftermath, we have relied on the strength of our brothers to help the community move forward. To accomplish that goal, Sergei Herbert, 2016 , organized a brotherhood event in which our members could come together in solidarity. Additionally, we donated cases of energy drinks to campus police and custodial staff to show our appreciation for their hard work. It has been a difficult time for our community, but the integrity of our brotherhood has been strengthened by these events.

~Michael Kalua, 2018

California-San Diego lota Chi

In early February, we welcomed alumni back to the chapter to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our founding. Brothers from the Alpha to Beta Gamma pledge classes were thrilled to reconnect with old friends and engage with the men who have followed in their footsteps. We also hosted our Emilio Cruz annual scholarship banquet event, at which we recognized exceptional individuals and their families. These celebrations of brotherhood and scholarship ensured that we are prepared to tackle a packed spring filled with our Derby Days philanthropic event, Spring Formal, Interfraternity Council athletics competitions, and more.

~Tanner Pierce, 2016

Carnegie Mellon Lambda Pi

We redoubled our efforts in emphasizing brotherhood events this past fall, as our chapter organized a whitewater rafting trip and a trail maintenance hike. In addition, our brothers continue to demonstrate active campus involvement by participating in student organizations and supporting our Greek-letter community’s sororities and women’s fraternities at their philanthropic events. We have many philanthropic events planned for the spring 2016 semester, such as Greek Sing with our partners at the Kappa Alpha Theta women’s fraternity and our annual Splash-A-Thon.

~Augustus Henry, 2017

Case Western Beta Eta

As we wrap up yet another successful semester, we have initiated 10 new brothers and look to continue that recruiting success into the future. On campus, we continue to impress with brothers in research labs and in community service. We graduate multiple brothers this semester, some of whom will continue on to higher learning opportunities and into the workforce in fields such as aerospace engineering and biomedical engineering. We have had the opportunity to grow closer with our local alumni chapter.

~Aaron Cain, 2017

Central Florida Eta Pi

The brothers of our chapter earned a special opportunity unlike any other for the spring 2016 semester: We have committed to helping review our university’s policy called the “Principles of Group Responsibility.” We hope we can effectively influence revisions to it.

~Jad-Alexander Shalhoub, 2018

Central Michigan Zeta Rho

Last fall, our chapter hosted its most successful Derby Days philanthropic event in school history, raising more than $15,000 for charity. We also plan to initiate the largest-ever pledge classes, which will increase our membership to one of its highest numbers in history. Our brothers exhibited dominance on the soccer field this year, capturing our fourth-straight championship. We look forward to defending our championships and hosting our second-annual Sigma Freeze event this spring.

~Zachary Stout, 2016

Centre Zeta Zeta

Our brothers looked forward to welcoming back the 10 brothers who spent their fall 2015 semesters studying abroad in countries on three different continents.

~Dylan Spencer, 2017

Chicago Omicron Omicron

We started the 2015 to 2016 school year by recruiting 18 members into our Lambda pledge class, and we hoped to see many alumni at their initiation ceremony on Jan. 16. One of the chapter’s main goals for the year is to continue its role of being a leader in the fight to prevent sexual misconduct. Our chapter is proud to be a founding participant in the university’s Greek Life Out in Front program, and we looked forward to hosting a Feb. 6 event for all Chicago-area Sigs at the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

~Rex Johnson, 2016

Cincinnati Zeta Psi

Our chapter advisor, Kelly Nichols, 1997, won the Fraternity’s Chapter Advisor of the Year Award at the 2015 Grand Chapter in San Diego, and in October, we executed our most successful Derby Days philanthropic event yet by raising nearly $40,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We initiated 28 men into the chapter, and are happy to welcome them into our brotherhood. Additionally, many of our members have taken leadership roles in various campus organizations.

~Chase LaVeer, 2019

College of Idaho Kappa Lambda

We have members serving as president and vice president of the student association, while others have leadership roles in our outdoor program and the program council. We participated in the Preparation for Brotherhood pilot program last fall and we were pleased to do so. We recently initiated 11 new brothers into the chapter, increasing our chapter size to 33 men. Now, we look forward to hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event, and have made it our goal to raise more than $6,000.

~Chanse Ward, 2016

We look forward to installing our newly elected executive officers.

~Matthew LaCascia, 2017

A College in Storrs, Conn. Gamma Omega

We were happy to initiate 17 new brothers into our chapter under the guidance of Magister Vig Kumar, 2017. These new brothers are all very excited to become active members of this Fraternity, and to contribute in any way that they can. We hosted a philanthropic event that collected more than $5,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Now, we look forward to following the leadership of our new executive officers, whom we elected at the end of the fall semester.

~Alec Giacco, 2016

Cumberland Nu

Four of our seven potential new brothers we recruited had to drop out of their pledgeship due to different issues. However, the remaining three pledges are top-notch men, and when we initiated them into the chapter in January, we also planned to initiate the father of one of the three. Theirs was to be the first father-son combination initiation that

our chapter has conducted. Being a chapter with many brothers involved in university athletics, we have accepted quite a few verbal commitments for our spring 2016 pledge class.

~Nicholas Prall, 2016

Dalhousie-St. Mary’s Gamma Rho

We were excited to host last fall’s North Atlantic province conference. With generous alumni support, we reconnected with more than 20 of our brothers from the American University chapter during a great weekend. Some highlights from the fall semester included our first-ever Greeks Go Green philanthropic event, our Purple Party for Victim Services, and the Sig Leaguers softball team dominating the opposition by finishing 6-1. Next semester will be a busy one in Halifax. After conducting an initiation ceremony, we were to begin planning for our signature trampoline marathon supporting the Children’s Wish Foundation.

~Travis Lefebvre, 2016

Denver Delta Iota

Our chapter had a great start to the fall 2015 quarter. We started by paying homage to Clay Soper, 2018 , who entered the Chapter Eternal last July, by taking part in a White Rose Ceremony in his honor. Celebrating Clay’s life with all of his family and friends who flew in for the ceremony was truly remarkable. We continue to work hard in school and strive to be the best fraternity on campus.

~Joshua Todtfeld, 2016

DePaul Lambda Omega

We are proud of Adam Webb, 2018 , and Ryan McQueeney, 2017, who were elected to the Interfraternity Council’s executive board. We also initiated 19 new members into the chapter in November.

~Nicholas Scola, 2016

DePauw Xi

Our 156th pledge class has transitioned into the chapter well, and its members have already begun to establish themselves as leaders in the chapter and on campus. Additionally, we have made many aesthetic updates to the chapter house, thanks to the generosity of our parent’s club and the house corporation. We paired with the women of the Alpha Phi International Fraternity in the annual TigerStock philanthropic event, which continues to be popular. As of this writing, we were in the middle of our fall recruitment period and looked forward to welcoming our 157th pledge class in the spring semester.

~Robert Sherman, 2018

Drake Theta Gamma

In addition to celebrating our 35th anniversary in December, our chapter initiated three new brothers into the chapter last fall and had a blast raising several thousand dollars for charity through our Derby Days philanthropic event. We now look forward to another amazing Drake Relays event, and hope to see a strong showing from our alumni. We anticipate recruiting an active and exemplary spring pledge class. Mitchell Feltz, 2018 , is the Interfraternity Council’s vice president of scholarship.

~Zachary Blevins, 2017

Duke Beta Lambda

Our brothers have had an eventful last few months, during which we have participated in two community-cleanup events alongside female members of our Greek-letter community. In addition, we took part in the university’s Dance Marathon that raised more than $100,000 for Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center. We were proud to be the third-most represented group at the event. In addition, our alumni weekend was a huge success, and we were happy to welcome many of our graduated brothers back to campus. Finally, we had a great parents weekend, featuring an incredibly fun dinner at a local restaurant.

~Samuel Brougher, 2018

East Tennessee Zeta Omega

As of this writing, we were preparing to initiate 10 great men into our chapter, and we expect that they will make great contributions to the chapter’s future. We have taken part in community service projects such as RiseUp, an afternoon school program, and we have participated in several trash cleanups around our community. It is also great to have football back at our university. Frank Rivera, 2016 , is the Interfraternity Council’s new president, and there are two other brothers who serve alongside him on the IFC’s executive board, as well.

~Greyson Jennings, 2018

Our members put together a successful Derby Days philanthropic event that raised $7,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Looking into the future, our house corporation has begun the process of looking for an off-campus chapter house, and we are working to improve our alumni relations.

~Mark Shanahan, 2017

Eastern Kentucky Eta Alpha

The brothers of our chapter won another championship in intramural softball and were in the finals for volleyball at the time of this writing; we hoped to retain our “all campus sports” title. We came into the close of pledgeship with a strong group of 24 young men, and we were proud of their hard work as they approached their initiation. We are proud to announce our chapter’s two newest “cutie pies.” They are Alley Bowlin and Emma Davis, both of the Kappa Delta Sorority. As the semester came to an end, our brothers aimed to earn the university’s top fraternity grades.

~Blake Higdon, 2018

Elon Theta Omega

We recently initiated three new brothers into the chapter, and our community service chairman John Lopez, 2016 , has organized a program in which three brothers join him at the local Boys and Girls Club every week.

Finally, our new public relations chairman Brett Thomas, 2017, has created a new Twitter page to update alumni and the student body as to our chapter’s upcoming events.

~Mark Goetzmann, 2018

Embry-Riddle (Daytona Beach) Eta Iota

Many of our brothers have taken leadership positions in the student government, and we worked with our house corporation to completely renovate the back of the chapter house. In addition, the generous donations we received from Tom McSwiggan, WESTERN CONNECTICUT 1996 , made it possible for us to install a new deck, stairs, pillars, and tiki lounge. Our newly initiated brothers have shown great promise and are on the right track to better themselves and the Fraternity. Now, we look forward to our 45th anniversary and recruiting our next class of brothers.

~Taylor Kreis, 2016

Embry-Riddle (Prescott) Kappa Phi

We are proud to announce the initiation of eight new members into our chapter following the fall recruitment period, and we look forward to the contributions they will make as brothers. We continually strive to improve the chapter’s standing with the university, as well as our relationship with the local community. We improved our relationship with the community last fall by taking part in the local Humane Society’s Dogtoberfest, an event that helps pair shelter animals with adopters.

~Kody Raymond, 2018

Emory Beta Chi

After initiating two great young men into the chapter last fall, and due to following a deferred recruitment schedule, we looked forward to taking part in a busy spring recruitment. Three of our brothers on the university’s soccer team claimed all-conference honors, one brother on the tennis team became an All-American, and five Sigs on the baseball team are working to put together another championship run. In philanthropy, our fall semester campaign was in support of the B+ Foundation, and we are happy to report that we reached our fundraising goal.

~James Mizvesky, 2018

Florida Gamma Theta

Thanks to the leadership and guidance of Magister Brock Lilley, 2017, and assistant Magisters Tommy Burt, 2017, and Jak Ramsberger, 2017, we initiated 30 new brothers into our chapter this past fall.

We also looked forward to celebrating the chapter’s fifth anniversary in January.

~Jonathan Guerra, 2017

Florida Southern Epsilon Sigma

We initiated 11 brothers into the chapter in the fall 2015 semester, and we have grown our role in the community immensely in recent months by participating in fundraisers for causes such as Alzheimer awareness, Ronald McDonald House Charities, and domestic violence awareness. Furthermore, our brothers have taken advantage of their academic opportunities at the university by studying abroad in places such as Spain, Australia, France and New Zealand.

~Sam Baker, 2018

Fort Hays Zeta Tau

After initiating our newest members into the chapter last fall, our recruitment chairman plans to bring in another class of quality potential brothers this spring. We are glad that our chapter’s membership has increased by 50 percent following our most recent initiation ceremony. As participants in the Preparation for Brotherhood pilot program, we thought that the alpha phase of the new pledge program went really well, and we hope that the beta phase will bring further improvements. Last semester, our chapter adopted a mile-long stretch of a local highway, and we have made it our responsibility to keep it clean of trash.

~Caleb Quay, 2017

Furman lota Nu

Our chapter has improved its brotherhood through a growing commitment to academics and our increasingly successful recruitment process. We initiated seven new sophomore brothers this fall, making theirs the largest fall initiation class in our chapter’s history. Homecoming yielded a plethora of recent and distantly graduated chapter alumni as they ventured out to our location on our university’s mall. This was another great success for the chapter’s efforts to reconnect with alumni.

~Tyler Knauss, 2017

A College in Fairfax, Va. lota Xi

Our brothers had their share of highs and lows this past year. We entered into a period of grief after we learned of the passing of John O’Reilly, 2016 . The event hit our chapter hard, but also had

the effect of bringing all of us closer together, and we are thankful that the university community showed us nothing but support. We also held our first successful pumpkin smash event, benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute. This was our first successful on-campus event in many years.

~Joshua Whitehead, 2016

Georgia Delta

Our chapter officially enjoyed a full season of University of Georgia football games. As always, we want to give a special shout-out to our Mothers Club for the work it does on game days and throughout the year. We also looked forward to a great winter and spring of fundraising for a local family that has become very close to our hearts.

~Tommy McGlone, 2017

Georgia Southern Eta Zeta

Our chapter is enjoying a successful spring semester thus far. Our brothers have upheld the ideals of our Fraternity on campus through their involvement in organizations such as student government and the Interfraternity Council. We now look forward to this year’s Derby Days philanthropic event, and are hopeful that its fundraising take benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute will exceed last year’s total. Now, we congratulate all of our graduating brothers.

~Spencer Chambers, 2018

Georgia Southwestern Eta Theta

Our brothers recently participated in a Mission 365 recruitment training workshop, where they learned new tactics to better recruit new men to join our Fraternity. In February, we hosted our 46th-annual Sweetheart Ball, at which we welcomed many alumni back to reunite with their brothers. In addition, we also hosted our Sweetheart Ball golf tournament. The chapter is now in the process of electing new executive officers and planning the annual Boston Butt cookout.

~Johnathin Moore, 2016

Gettysburg Theta

Along with participation in various philanthropic events this past fall, we enjoyed our chapter’s annual chili cook-off, which we co-hosted with the sisters of the Delta Gamma Fraternity. Additionally, we initiated 21 remarkable men into our chapter. Moving forward, our chapter hopes to have yet another great semester this spring. To accomplish this goal, we are excited to find the next phenomenal class of brothers who demonstrate our values. Finally, we have begun to make preparations for our Derby Days philanthropic event, at which we hope to surpass our fundraising goals.

Hampden-Sydney Sigma Sigma

We were happy to initiate five new members into the chapter this past fall, and we looked forward to spring recruitment. Edgar Moore, 2017, had an outstanding season as a first-year starting quarterback for the football team, and we were thrilled to welcome numerous alumni back to the chapter in October for Homecoming. In November, our brothers forewent their razors to take part in No Shave November to raise awareness for men’s cancer, and to support the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Now, we are working alongside the school to raise $1,000 for United Way.

~Nicholas Sullivan, 2017

Hanover Chi

We were happy to welcome two new brothers — Michael Braun, 2017, and Sakib Haque, 2018 — into the chapter last fall. We recently hosted Terrell Robinson, 1973 , who had a huge influence on our chapter and Sigma Chi; his entrance into Sigma Chi spawned our proclamation of 1969, and is evidence of the diversity and individualism we strive to attain.

~KorbyQuan Reed, 2016

Harvard Kappa Eta

Last semester we revamped our alumni relations and community service efforts, and reestablished our monthly newsletter and volunteering practices with Habitat for Humanity. Furthermore, we successfully transitioned to conducting one recruitment effort per year by welcoming a class of 23 pledges. We look forward to initiating them as

brothers of the Fraternity this spring. Our members continue to stay involved in numerous university organizations such as varsity sports, mental health awareness initiatives, student government and cultural associations, all while maintaining a strong GPA. We look forward to what the spring has to offer.

~Andrew Fraga, 2017

We believe that our chapter has the best officer executive corps on campus, and that our members are great leaders on campus.

~Kelton Hunter, 2017

Illinois Kappa Kappa

We enjoyed a successful fall semester, during which we set the goal of improving our grades to become one of the highest-achieving fraternities in academics on campus. We raised more than $10,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through our Derby Days philanthropic event and initiated a group of well-deserving men into the chapter, including John Hough, 2018 , who is the great-grandson of 33rd Grand Consul Charles Hough, 1915 . This was also the first year in which we presented the Bradley Stock Memorial Scholarship, which recognizes a member of our chapter who embodies the spirit of Sigma Chi.

~Vito Cali, 2017

Illinois Wesleyan Alpha Iota

Last fall, we recruited a pledge class of 25 potential new members and achieved victories in the university’s Homecoming lip sync contest and rope pull showdown against the men of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. In one month, 14 of our brothers will travel to Honduras on a mission trip as participants in the university’s Global Brigades program. The chapter congratulates its seven senior varsity soccer players and four senior varsity football players on concluding their sports careers as Illinois Wesleyan Titans.

~Nicholas Huskisson, 2017

Indiana Lambda

Elliot Cofer, 2017, was recently elected as the Interfraternity Council’s vice president of risk management, and we are preparing for multiple philanthropic events in the spring. They include Dropping the Puck on Cancer, our annual hockey game that raised more than $50,000 last year; Faceoff for the Forces, a lacrosse game raising

funds for the Wounded Warrior Project; and Greeks Give back, a new event started by Austin Gilmore, 2018 , in which the university’s Greek-letter community partners with Habitat for Humanity to build a home in the local community.

~Reese Dorger, 2017

Indiana (Pennsylvania) Eta Omicron

A few weeks into the fall 2015 semester, we welcomed three pledges to begin their journey toward joining our brotherhood. We expected to initiate them into the chapter during the week of Nov. 22. We hosted a Thanksgiving dinner to which we invited all of the women’s organizations in our Greek-letter community, with the event’s proceeds going to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We have engaged ourselves in community service by participating in a “clean the streets” campaign the morning after Homecoming weekend concluded. Additionally, brothers volunteered on behalf of the Salvation Army at a local grocery store.

~Keith Hurley, 2016

Indiana State Theta Pi

In October, we won our school’s bike race for the first time, and were fortunate to initiate 14 young men into our Fraternity. As we approached the spring 2016 semester, we looked forward to recruiting a new pledge class and hosting our Derby Days philanthropic event, whose fundraising take we hope will exceed the chapter-record $17,000 that we collected at last year’s event.

~John Gibbons, 2016

Iowa State Beta Omicron

We recently moved into our new 55-person chapter house. Our brotherhood currently includes 84 members, which represents a large increase from two years ago, when we had just 28 brothers. In October, we hosted a successful Derby Days philanthropic event in which 11 of the 13 women’s organizations in our Greek-letter community participated, and the event made it possible for us to donate $6,000 to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We look forward to the further growth of our philanthropic efforts.

Our most recent initiation brought nine new members into our brotherhood; the ceremony was one of our best yet, and we expect that these new brothers will step up and take positions in the Fraternity. Our new one-day philanthropic event “Dunk a Sig” raised around $500 for cancer research. With elections coming up, our chapter will be led by a new Consul who will plan on furthering our leadership as a Fraternity on campus and in the community. Now, we are preparing for our spring recruitment effort.

We are proud to report that our recent initiation of 11 new brothers into the chapter expanded our brotherhood to the largest it has been since our 2009 reinstallation. We are now one of the three largest fraternities at the university. Despite battling a week of rain, we ran our most successful Derby Days philanthropic event yet and eclipsed our fundraising goal of $30,000. As our chapter expands, so too does our influence on campus and in the community through our participation in events such as Terps Against Hunger, in which we helped package food for the less fortunate.

Lastly, the chapter sends its condolences to the family of Bob McPherson, 1957, one of our chapter’s founders. Although we did not know him, a reading of his obituary gives a sense of the values he exalted throughout life. May he rest peacefully within the Chapter Eternal.

~Will Crist, 2016

Roanoke Tau

This fall, our chapter’s brothers were granted the pleasure of meeting Significant Sig Jon Huntsman Jr., UTAH 1983 , when some of us were fortunate to attend his address to Roanoke College students in early November 2015. We thank Huntsman for his

Our chapter’s 25th Derby Days philanthropic event was its most successful yet, as the seven amazing sororities and women’s fraternities at Rutgers joined us in raising more than $220,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and their respective philanthropies. Our initiation of the Beta Beta pledge class added 15 scholars to our brotherhood, bringing our total number of members to 110. Now, we are preparing for our next recruitment, which is to be led by Gavi Reichman, 2016 . We look forward to welcoming our newest recruits and building a strong Beta Gamma pledge class.

Sam Houston Epsilon Psi

At the time of this writing, we were just about to finish renovating our chapter room, thanks to the generosity of our alumni. Our recruitment team led the chapter in utilizing the lessons of the Mission 365 recruitment training program and bid 22 pledges, all of whom we believe will make a fine addition to our chapter. Our tailgate party chairman did outstanding work in the fall that led to our accepting the H-E-B grocery store’s Tailgaters of the Year Award. Now, we look forward to hosting our Fight Night event, at which country music singer Charlie Robison will perform.

~Tyler Noble, 2017

Samford Pi

We aim to initiate the members of our newest pledge class into the chapter this spring. After winning the university’s Step Sing competition in February 2015, we looked forward to competing in it once again, and hoped to bring home the trophy once more. The university selected Trent Taylor, 2018 , as one of its orientation leaders, which is a coveted position at Samford that is conferred upon seven students each year. We are proud of Taylor.

~Brian Givhan, 2016

In the fall, our chapter won back-to-back philanthropic events in the Alpha Phi women’s fraternity’s King of Hearts and the Alpha Omicron Pi women’s fraternity’s Mr. Greek events.

Now, we are working to finish the year in strong fashion, and elect new executive officers in the process.

~Hyesung Yu, 2016

Santa Clara Lambda Gamma

While many of our brothers spent the fall semester studying abroad, we still continued our commitment to service. Several brothers have made trips to the Julian Street Inn in San Jose, Calif., where they served food to people in need. In addition to our service, we had a blast coaching flag football teams at our fourth-annual Kappa Chi Classic alongside the women of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity. Looking ahead, we were excited to recruit the members of our Theta pledge class early in the winter quarter.

~Samuel Kujovich, 2016

Since purchasing our chapter house from the university, we have made several improvements to it and have many more ideas that we are excited to implement soon.

~Cameron Woodruff, 2016

Southern Illinois Lambda Omicron

Last spring, we accumulated the third-most community service hours among campus organizations. We have established excellent relations with our university and are making a strong effort to improve the reputation of the campus’s Greek-letter community. In addition, we accepted the award for being the fraternity community’s most improved chapter, and our success continued when we hosted our best Derby Days philanthropic event yet. We have doubled the size of our chapter and elected a new sweetheart, Jenny Hall. In the fall, we initiated six new members into the chapter and took part in our first Homecoming.

~Calvin Reneer, 2016

Southern Methodist Delta Mu

In our effort to maintain the high standards of Sigma Chi, our chapter implemented several fundraising programs in an effort to reach our goal of raising $20,000 for charity. Moreover, we are further improving upon our already strong academic record, representation within student government, and presence within campus organizations. Additionally, we celebrated the university’s 100th anniversary with an awesome Homecoming weekend that more than 100 chapter alumni attended.

~Tyler Roberts, 2018

Our chapter is incredibly proud and honored to have initiated 19 outstanding men into the chapter last semester. Each and every one of them have shown promise and strive to be the best they can possibly be. Our brothers have also made it the chapter’s goal to raise $20,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

~Johann Simpson, 2016

Stephen F. Austin Eta Tau

We would like to congratulate all of our brothers for recruiting a successful pledge class of eight men whom we look forward to initiating into Sigma Chi. Although we are a little disappointed with the small number of brothers in the class, we expect to bring in a huge and successful spring pledge class. As we approached the holidays, we looked to finish 2015 in strong fashion with regard to our schoolwork and Derby Days philanthropic event. We look forward to making Derby Days an annual event.

~Nicolas Irene, 2019

Syracuse Psi Psi

Our chapter accepted the Fraternity’s Peterson Significant Chapter Blue Award at last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, and our Derby Days philanthropic event was a sweeping success. Made possible by the generosity and effort of the university’s sororities and women’s fraternities and the determination of our members, we raised a record-shattering $20,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals as well as thousands of pounds of clothing that we donated to the Salvation Army. In addition, we welcomed eight new brothers into the chapter from our most recent pledge class.

~Alexander Magers, 2017

This is a major landmark in our history, and we plan to welcome a large contingent of alumni to mark the date. Brothers have recently advanced their interests by assuming leadership positions in campus organizations, including becoming president and pubic relations chairman of the Interfraternity Council. Also last fall, the chapter completed 500 community service hours and looks forward to adding to that total.

~Kyle Kirby, 2018

The brothers of our chapter were happy to put another great fall semester in the books here in Knoxville, Tenn. We started out the semester by conducting a very successful recruitment in which we hosted more than 700 gentlemen at our chapter house throughout the week. That effort resulted in 49 men signing their bid cards on Saturday morning. Our annual fall alumni gathering, hosted by Scott Davis, 1986 , was another success with many alumni in attendance from across the nation, including Significant Sigs Johnny Majors, 1957, and the Honorable Timothy Irwin, 1981

~Joseph Saldutti, 2018

Our brothers also completed a Ritualistic workshop, and we hope to become certified in Ritual performance.

We continue to stay involved on campus by way of three brothers who hold positions within the Interfraternity Council. This spring is promising to be an eventful semester, as we hope to increase our philanthropic fundraising efforts to top the more than $14,000 that we raised last spring.

~Ryan Walters, 2017

Texas A&M-Commerce Zeta Eta

This spring, we turned our gears and committed ourselves entirely to putting on a successful Derby Days philanthropic event, with proceeds going toward cancer research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We hosted several other philanthropic

~Nicholas Spedale, 2018

Texas-Arlington Theta Kappa

After we initiated our chapter’s largest-ever pledge class in fall 2015 and did well philanthropically with our Fight Night event, we anticipate what we will accomplish through our upcoming Derby Days philanthropic event and the spring semester. The chapter’s newly introduced standards program assists brothers in attaining higher scholastic achievements and encourages them to be engaging leaders within their respective campus organizations. We believe our successes can be attributed to our brothers’ execution of the goals we set at last summer’s Balfour Leadership Training Workshop at Bowling Green (Ohio) State University.

~Chandler Garrard, 2017

Texas-Austin Alpha Nu

The chapter’s 36th-annual Fight Night philanthropic event was a huge success, as parents, undergraduates and alumni witnessed 12 amateur boxing bouts that preceded a concert featuring rapper Juicy J.

~Tucker Brock, 2017

Tulsa Delta Omega

We had the privilege of initiating 16 quality men into the chapter last fall using the curriculum of the Preparation for Brotherhood program. As a participant in the program’s pilot, we had our share of bumps and bruises in running it, but the chapter’s overall takeaway is that its lessons did help prepare the pledges for brotherhood in Sigma Chi. We also hosted our Kick for Cops fall philanthropic event; at the time of this writing, we were rapidly approaching our goal of raising $7,500 and hoped to write a check to the Tulsa Police Department by the end of the fall semester.

~Jonathan Jones, 2018

Utah State Gamma Kappa

The brothers of our chapter were hard at work during the fall semester revising our chapter’s bylaws to enable us to face the problems facing today’s Greek-letter organizations. We have also sought out new philanthropic causes to improve our local community. Most notably, our chapter has started a new philanthropic effort at a local elementary school, the goal of which is to provide the school’s children with much-needed nutrition while teaching them life skills. We have done so by constructing several garden boxes that will soon be used to grow nutrient-dense vegetables.

~Ted Peterson, 2018

As the chapter’s fall 2015 semester came to a close, our brothers reflected on their many new accomplishments. Under the leadership of Magister Will Fullenweider, 2016 , the chapter initiated 15 distinguished members of the Villanova community into Sigma Chi. In addition, the chapter successfully reactivated its judicial board as well as a new recruitment board. Last summer, we sent the chapter’s largest group in three years to the Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. We look to build upon our new initiatives for 2016 by reaching our Huntsman Cancer Institute and B+ Foundation philanthropic goals.

~Jordan Assentato, 2016

At 34 members strong, theirs is our largest-ever pledge class, and thanks to our opportunity to pilot the new Preparation for Brotherhood program, it promises to be one of our best. As we wrapped up the fall semester, we continued to strive to surpass our previous ranking of third place in GPA among Interfraternity Council organizations.

Now, we are excited to welcome back our junior brothers who have studied abroad.

~Brennan Oakes, 2016

We hoped to end the fall semester with a strong GPA, and our brothers could not wait to improve our recruitment program for the spring semester.

~Maxwell Turkowski, 2017

In addition, we initiated three new brothers into the chapter: They are Eric Kenner, 2019; Joe Verbosky, 2018; and Mike Wilfong, 2017. Now, we look forward to a larger recruitment effort in the spring. During our university’s Veterans Week, we raised money to assist local veterans at the American Legion. This spring, our chapter has been afforded a great opportunity in that six of our members get to assist in the reactivation of the chapter at Clarion University.

COLONY UPDATES

Baylor Sigma Chi Eta

We recently added 23 new members to our organization, including seven legacies. We planned to host an alumni dinner on Jan. 23 at the Ridgewood Country Club in Waco, Texas, with more than 100 alumni, colony members, sponsors and potential new members. The service projects we have undertaken include partnering with the Kappa Alpha Theta women’s fraternity for Baylor’s All-University Sing competition.

Bowling Green State Kappa Sigma Chi

We doubled our roster to 34 members through a formal recruitment event last fall. Also, we hosted a pancake breakfast for university faculty and attended other Greek-letter organizations’ philanthropic events. Our social events such as a board game night and “capture the flag” went well, and we have teamed with other fraternities to visit residents at local retirement communities and to share “blessing baskets,” which are filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste, granola bars and mints, with the homeless.

California-Santa Barbara Chi Sigma Chi

We were thrilled to learn that the New Chapter Development Committee and the Executive Committee accepted our Declaration of Intent to become a colony. Our members include 32 undergraduates; we have 15 alumni advisors. Our members have been given their pledge materials, as well as information on the new Preparation for Brotherhood pledge program. On Valentine’s Day, we visited the university’s sororities and women’s fraternities to deliver them white roses and cookies.

Hobart Sigma Chi Epsilon

Our colony has handed in its Phase II report to the International Fraternity as part of the colonization process, and has moved on to the stage where we create a formal petition to become an installed chapter. We recruited 11 new members last fall, bringing our total membership to 28 men. We now anticipate our installation happening on April 9. Until then, we are helping the organization Colleges Against Cancer host this year’s Relay For Life event.

~Ryan Densen, 2017

Massachusetts-Amherst Sigma Chi Omega

In recent months, our members have co-sponsored and participated in workshops on sexual consent, bystander intervention and domestic violence awareness. We’ve volunteered for two Interfraternity Council street cleanup events, and will send volunteers to the local Ronald McDonald House. The experiences our members gained at the 2015 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop have aided our logistics and planning, and our first pledge class will begin formal education this spring with 27 members.

~Tirso Peña, 2018

Ohio Delta Sigma Chi

The members of our colony are working diligently to become a fully initiated chapter. Most recently, we held elections for our new executive officers, and we planned to transition them into their roles by the end of the fall semester. Earlier in the fall, we completed our first Derby Days philanthropic event and donated the money to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We looked forward to winter break and coming back to start the spring semester on the right foot.

Clarion University

CHAPTER NAME: Theta Alpha

INSTALLATION DATE: Nov. 21, 2015

PROVINCE: Western Pennsylvania SIGS INITIATED AT INSTALLATION: 32

In the fall of 2011, the Theta colony at Clarion University had just begun its long journey toward becoming a chapter of the Sigma Chi International Fraternity. This journey has been unique and unlike any other experience. Although the colonization process took us much longer to achieve than we had originally anticipated, it also made us into an extremely strong and unbreakable group of men. The time it took us to combat our challenges is not what counts, but it is how we spent the time fighting adversity and ultimately being able to say the words, “We did it.” We know that

our chapter will always strive to protect the Fraternity’s ideals of friendship, justice and learning. We will endeavor to recruit quality men who exemplify our standards and do not pursue the idea of recruiting quantity over quality. With the signing of the charter, our chapter understands that its journey has just begun, and that there is much more work to be completed as we move forward. We are thankful for all of those who have aided us in achieving our goals.

California State University San Marcos

CHAPTER NAME: Mu Beta

INSTALLATION DATE: Nov. 7, 2015

PROVINCE: Southern California SIGS INITIATED AT INSTALLATION: 56

The movement to start a Sigma Chi chapter at California State University San Marcos was based upon our commitment to diversity and values. What started as a group of only a few members grew in three years to 53 men who are known throughout the university for their leadership, their campus involvement and their quality of character. We thank those who have supported us throughout this journey and for supporting us as we hosted our very first Derby Days philanthropic event and working to raise our GPA. With the guidance of chapter advisor Dan Shaver, TEXAS TECH 1993; Grand Praetor Asher Kalef, CAL. STATE-SAN BERNARDINO 2011 ; Director of Chapter Support McKenzie Mullins, WESTERN KENTUCKY 2013; and Expansion Team Lead Desmond Robinson, TARLETON STATE 2015; we had

an amazing and memorable initiation experience. Additionally, a Sig from another chapter traveled to San Marcos to be initiated with us. Our installation banquet took place on Nov. 7, 2015, at the Sheraton Carlsbad (Calif.) Resort and Spa, where more than 250 of our parents, friends and alumni gathered to celebrate the creation of our chapter. We were proud to have alumni travel from as far away as England to attend the installation, as was the case with Arthur Silverstein, 2014 . Sixty-ninth Grand Consul Mike Ursillo, BROWN 1978 , welcomed us into Sigma Chi and challenged us to waste no time in seeking Sigma Chi’s values in his charge to “Find It Here, Find It Now.”

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.

THE FRATERNITY’S Guiding Light

In 1929, little did the celebrated writer, George Ade, PURDUE 1887, know that the Fraternity’s creed he was reluctant to pen would continue to guide Sigma Chis well into the 21st century. Ade was 14th Grand Consul and a Significant Sig.

In 95 words, 14th Grand Consul and Significant Sig George Ade, PURDUE 1887, created in 1929 a doctrine for Sigma Chis that has been read, digested and recited by generations of men who followed. While history leaves few clues as to Ade’s process for creating it, historians know his main motivation for penning it.

“Simply put, the desire to create a creed came from the fact that in the 1920s, Sigma Chi just didn’t have one,” says Grand Historian Michael Codina, CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1993 . “Many other fraternal organizations at the time had creeds of their own, and Sigma Chi stuck out a bit for not having one. To that end, 21st Grand Consul Joseph Miller, WOOSTER 1893 , was the main proponent behind its creation.”

Once a high Fraternity official such as Miller lent his support for the effort, the next step was identifying who should author the work. “We don’t know how much debate went into that decision,” says Codina, “but Ade was the logical choice because he was so prolific and respected [as] a writer.”

By the 1920s, Ade had long been known as one of America’s most talented humor columnists, authors and playwrights. The success of his books, such as Fables in Slang and his Broadway plays, such as The Sultan of Sulu and The College Widow, had brought him fame, and his 1909 to 1911 term as Grand Consul lent him significant gravitas on Fraternity matters.

“One of the most interesting things about Ade’s authorship of The Sigma Chi Creed is that he was

“I believe in fairness, decency and good manners. I will endeavor to retain the spirit of youth. I will try to make my college, the Sigma Chi [International] Fraternity, and my own chapter more honored by all men and women and more beloved and honestly respected by our own brothers. I say these words in all sincerity; that Sigma Chi has given me favor and distinction; that the bond of our fellowship is reciprocal, that I will endeavor to so build myself and so conduct myself that I will ever be a credit to our Fraternity.”

—Fourteenth Grand Consul and Significant Sig George Ade, PURDUE 1887, in the Fraternity’s Creed

widely famous as a humorist; conversely, the Creed is self-evidently a very serious document,” says Codina.

Ade says in the spring 1976 Delta Delta Data, the Purdue chapter’s newsletter, that he accepted the responsibility of writing the Creed with great reluctance. His words were later reprinted in the June 1977 issue of The Magazine of Sigma Chi. “It didn’t seem to me that I had been ordained to tell the other boys what they should and should not do in order to be good Sigs,” Ade says. “I began the job with a determination to be candid and avoid hypocrisy.”

He continues by adding that he believes the Creed was unconventional. “It is not what would have been written by a sermonizer or pulpiteer, but I think it is a fair working program for the kind of man that we are glad to hail as a brother. ... It is in harmony with religion but does not impose religious observance or obligations. I believe the Creed is one which we can endorse and one which, if lived up to, will keep Sigma Chi in its present honored place among Greek-letter societies.”

To this day, the words of the Creed guide Sigma Chis; they are printed in The Norman Shield pledge manual and are on many chapters’ websites. Codina says that he would argue that the document is as relevant today as it was in 1929.

“It doesn’t contain lofty ideals; they’re street-level thoughts that we should all [strive toward], and all be,” he says. “Everything enumerated in it is very attainable.”

about six years prior; it continues to guide many brothers’ lives.

Church brought up the question of whether a full-time online student can become a member of a chapter. Ed Spencer agreed that no action should be taken by the EC and that the chapter should make its own decision about whether to make the student a member, as long as he is enrolled as a full-time student in good standing by the university. Ursillo was in agreement. The EC came to the unanimous consensus that as long as online students meet all of the requirements of ECR 3.07-2 and are accepted by the chapter, they can be initiated into the Fraternity.

Geddings discussed the change of the CAMAC structure, making the Past Grand Consul its chairman and non-EC members board members. Geddings explained the necessary policy changes to make this happen. Ursillo added that it did not make sense for the group that was advising the CAMAC issues to also be the group that voted on them; and that it makes more sense for an independent committee to present their recommendation to the Executive Committee.

STYLE GOES COUNTRY

As pop- and rock-influenced country music becomes more popular across North America, so do the leather boots and Western attire worn by its influential stars.

In the 1994 hit song, “Gone Country,” Alan Jackson sings, “He’s gone country, look at his boots; he’s gone country, back to his roots.” The song tells the tale of a pop, a folk and Vegas singer, each from various parts of the U.S., who are drawn to perform country music. Fast-forward 15 years and the latter style of music has gone more mainstream, with stars such as Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, and

Significant Sig Luke Bryan, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 1999, infusing pop influences into their songs. With such musicians in the spotlight, so is their style. These artists can be seen on TV, in videos and photos wearing boots, flannel and baseball caps — and others are paying attention.

“It’s all about comfort and wearability, that’s why you see a lot of denim, denim jackets and

jeans paired with a sport coat,” says Mallory Ervin, of Nashville, Tenn., who blogs about fashion and beauty at malloryervin.com. “You even see ball caps on the red carpet.”

Georgia Southern’s Cole Swindell, 2005 , who was named to this year’s class of Significant Sigs, has appeared at awards shows in a suit, cowboy boots and his signature Georgia Southern baseball cap. He famously wears the cap when he performs. For anyone looking to incorporate pieces into their attire that emulate the country music aesthetic, it is easy to find options that maintain wide appeal and quality design. Consider investing in the following pieces:

THE NAVY BLAZER

An easy way to keep it country, but urbane, is to pair a navy blazer with jeans and boots. For many, a navy blazer is an essential part of the wardrobe: It’s a classic look that lends itself to versatility. “The straightforward navy blazer is the epitome of sporty elegance. Just like bread and butter, there’s something unfailingly appealing about the blazer,” explains Scott Heath, president of Blaze-In Sportswear, which specializes in producing the classic garment. “It’s the foundation for a man’s wardrobe, it can be worn with anything — it’s up to the wearer.”

THE DENIM JACKET

Though often a butt of jokes, but increasing in popularity, is the combination of denim with . . . denim. “You can’t do enough denim,” says Ervin. “You’ll want to do faded denim on top with dark denim on the bottom.”

THE JEANS

Country style is about comfort, and what feels as good to wear, or is as versatile as, your favorite pair of jeans? Whether they are faded Levi’s or a dark pair of high-end selvedge jeans that are made on old-fashioned shuttle looms with stitching to prevent the denim from unraveling at the seams, jeans can be dressed up or down depending upon the occasion. Color and fit are important. Brands such as Levi’s, J Brand and Diesel offer a variety of options at different price points.

THE BOOTS

The pièce de résistance in any country ensemble is the classic pair of cowboy boots. Of course made of leather, a good pair of boots can be worn anywhere from a barn dance to a black-tie gala. Ariat boots’ Austin Condit and Shane Holman, director of footwear product management and senior director of global Western trends and business development, respectively, say they are seeing growth in the company’s country, fashion products — ones designed for people who want to emulate the iconic Western Americana fashion trend. For a high-end look, Ariat, as well as Lucchese, have a number of classic options. Another manufacturer of trendy boots is The Frye Co.

Preparing Pledges for Initiation into the Brotherhood

The chairman of the Education and Leadership Board reflects upon the creation and purpose of an innovative online pledge education system.

During my 42-year career in higher education and student affairs, from which I retired in 2012 as vice president for student affairs at Virginia Tech, I had the opportunity to observe the triumphs and tragedies within the fraternity world. The triumphs, which include the development of student leaders and educational programs, as well as huge philanthropic programs that brought forth donations of others’ time and money, continue to be too often absent from public view while the tragedies are usually put into the media spotlight. When I reflect on those tragedies, such as hazing, alcohol abuse, illegal drug use, sexual misconduct and mistreatment of people and property, and their root causes, I see within them a lack of responsibility and a failure to hold oneself and one’s brothers accountable for their actions.

So why is this? Why do responsibility and accountability not become a part of the fraternity experience for many men? As I watched this dilemma as a sitting vice president overseeing fraternity life until I retired, and as I continue to watch it now as chairman of Sigma Chi International Fraternity’s Education and Leadership Board, I find that so much of the issue can be traced to poor, inconsistent and inappropriate pledge programs. These programs have failed to focus upon an organization’s lessons of history and values-based education. Some other fraternities have responded to this situation by simply eliminating pledgeship. Sigma Chi’s response has been to transform its pledge program into the Preparation for Brotherhood program.

Transform is the key word here, because the program is not something that was developed overnight; rather, it is a key program that has evolved over a long period of time. Very careful thought and preparation over more than a decade have gone into the program. Likewise, we have been spending the 2015 to 2016 academic year with chapters serving as an alpha group and a beta group

As chairman of the General Fraternity’s Education and Leadership Board, Spencer spoke to the men about the Preparation for Brotherhood program.

“In short, our focus is to inspire, educate and apply. Our goal is to educate all recruits in the same way, by the same means and for the same reason — to prepare them for Initiation so that they can realize the full impact of the Ritual, and how it can and will light the way on their lifelong journeys as Sigma Chis.”

of pilot chapters to carry out the new program and provide us constructive feedback about it. The feedback from Magisters, pledges, Big Brothers, chapter advisors and others has been largely positive. We are continuing to collect feedback from these groups and others. We have even used two professional data analysis firms to conduct focus groups and quantitative research, as we finalize the program curriculum and ready it for required implementation within all of our chapters.

What are we trying to accomplish with this program? We want to ensure consistency and quality within the pledge programs of every chapter in the United States and Canada. This consistency will guarantee that regardless of where one is initiated, he will have experienced the same pledge program and initiation as did any other Sigma Chi. The focus on quality is intended to ensure we have a uniform pledge program that will teach our Fraternity’s history and its lessons, and share our ideals and values and how they translate into everyday thinking, feeling and acting. We want to educate our future brothers and inspire them to apply their learning and motivation throughout their Sigma Chi journey, from the day they become a pledge until the day they enter the Chapter Eternal.

In the eight program sessions of Preparation for Brotherhood, we begin by helping pledges understand what The Jordan Standard really means. We challenge them to think about how they will live up to the criteria for membership that are set forth in The Standard. After a first week of preliminaries, we get pledges to focus on the Fraternity’s values of courage, wisdom, integrity, high ambition, self-control, courtesy and fidelity, and to probe deeply into what each value means to them, how they measure up to it, and how they can and will incorporate each value into their actions throughout their lives.

To accomplish our goals, we use a blended approach of self-instruction, which is delivered via online education through our new Sigma Chi U learning management system; pledge group discussions with a Magister and other chapter brothers; and experiential learning and peer coaching with Big Brothers who are assigned to new members early in their pledgeship. Instruction also includes applied learning as we challenge pledges to apply what they are absorbing through our teaching model, as well as journaling to get them to reflect on what they are experiencing.

In short, our focus is to inspire, educate and apply. Our goal is to educate all recruits in the same way, by the same means and for the same reason — to prepare them for Initiation so that they can realize the full impact of the Ritual, and how it can and will light the way on their lifelong journeys as Sigma Chis. It is my hope that the program will especially teach all initiates the real meaning and impact of the last two parts of The Jordan Standard: a high sense of honor and a deep sense of personal responsibility.

Sigma Chi Introduces Pledge Curriculum for a New Era

As participants in last fall’s Preparation for Brotherhood alpha test, the Loyola (Chicago) chapter’s brothers and pledges reflect on their experience of becoming some of the first men to participate in the Fraternity’s proposed new member curriculum.

by Ryan Priest, WASHINGTON (SEATTLE) 2009

Fraternity leaders continue to solicit feedback and work with undergraduates to improve what they believe could enhance pledgeship for all Sigma Chi recruits: a multimedia-based, online Preparation for Brotherhood program that delivers uniform curriculum to all chapters. Prior to this, each chapter prepared its own curriculum, to be approved by their respective Grand Praetor.

The desire is to launch the new program in the fall 2016 semester; in advance of that rollout, the Fraternity recently conducted an alpha test of it at 32 chapters last fall, and a beta test at 49 chapters and one colony this spring.

The Preparation for Brotherhood curriculum is filled with videos that introduce recruits to Sigma Chi from past Grand Consuls and other Grand Officers, as well as initiated undergraduates. Some of the feedback gathered from those who took part in the alpha test was that too many of the videos used the same person for voice-overs; Headquarters staff members and the Preparation for Brotherhood committee are working to alter the videos based on that concern.

PLEDGESHIP CONTENT

The nine fall 2015 recruits at Loyola University Chicago’s undergraduate chapter took part in the alpha test, and their feedback and that of their Magister appears to be largely positive.

“All of the modules that [the pledges went] through [were] so much more intensive and better structured than anything a Magister could put together on his own,” says Eric Hargarten, LOYOLA (CHICAGO) 2016 , who led the recruits through pledgeship. “Before, a Magister could have easily forgotten to talk about something such as the Risk Management Foundation [during pledge training], but now, it’s right there in the curriculum.”

“Thanks to the feedback we’ve received from the chapters participating in our pilot program, we know that Preparation for Brotherhood is a positive thing.”

Rob Burger, 2018 , who was initiated into Sigma Chi on Nov. 21, says that the delivery of pledge materials in a multimedia format allowed him to

connect to it more deeply than he would have if he merely read it in The Norman Shield pledge manual.

“I loved the online component of Sigma Chi U,” Burger says, referring to the Fraternity’s platform through which pledges’ lessons and tests were administered. “I like that it [gave] me the freedom to study the coursework whenever and wherever I [wanted] to, and then talk about it with everyone else in our pledge class meetings.”

Aside from the online learning component, another major change the program brings is that a potential new member is introduced to his Big Brother at the start of pledgeship, rather than midway through it. Sigma Chi U administrator Chris Brooks, COLLEGE OF IDAHO 2006 , explains why the designers of the Preparation for Brotherhood program deemed that change necessary.

“It immediately provides a pledge with a mentor, which is the entire point of the Big Brother program,” says Brooks.

Hargarten believes that the change was well-guided, citing the more manageable workload it presents to Magisters. “Right away at their pinning ceremony, our pledges are meeting their Big Brothers. Now, they have a mentor throughout the program, and the Magister [can rely on the Big Brothers to ensure] that each

pledge is progressing the way that he should,” Hargarten says.

Order of Constantine Sig Mark Galbo, SAN JOSE STATE 1982 , vice chairman of the Preparation for Brotherhood committee, says that additionally, the program’s structure allows the Fraternity to better ensure that recruits share a common experience in the way they are educated about Sigma Chi.

“For the first time in our history, we have one way of educating our pledges, rather than 240 different ways,” Galbo says, alluding to the number of Sigma Chi undergraduate chapters and how each of them could have potentially had a different pledge program. “We now have the ability to take the best practices of each of our chapters and refine them into one stellar curriculum that will convey our values to new members.”

Going forward, Galbo’s committee continues to take and apply feedback regarding the new Preparation for Brotherhood program in order to improve it.

“Thanks to the feedback we’ve received from the chapters participating in our pilot program, we know that Preparation for Brotherhood is a positive thing that will improve the quality of our brothers’ Fraternity experiences everywhere,” Galbo says.

Things to know, notice and tell a brother

Undergraduate chapters that have been installed since 2008 showcase the distinctive penmanship — or, rather, penwomanship, of calligrapher Joyce Gordon. Her work is on display at Windsor Castle in England, as it is on the dedication page of copy No. 1 of E. Charles Nelson’s and David Elliot’s book, The Curious Mr. Catesby. The book was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth.

Sigma Chi International Fraternity approved the use of a standardized pledge pin at the 25th Grand Chapter, hosted from July 23 to 25, 1901, in Buffalo, N.Y.

One hundred-fifty years ago, the Fraternity hosted its sixth biennial celebration on Dec. 27 and 28, 1866, in Washington, D.C. It is the first time that the title of “Grand Chapter” was applied to such a meeting.

Significant Sig and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, PURDUE 2001, became the fourth quarterback in NFL history to pass for 60,000 yards when he completed a 27-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brandin Cooks in a game against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 21, 2015.

This is the 50th year in which the Fraternity’s headquarters has resided at 1714 Hinman Ave. in Evanston, Ill. The building was dedicated on Oct. 30, 1966, with about 300 brothers and their families in attendance.

Consumers place a pod of nutritional substances inside Life Fuels’ water bottle; it syncs with a smartphone to signal the release of pod contents at an appropriate time.
