Why Sigma Chi? —
I never intended on going Greek.  I distinctly remember my mother asking me, as we drove through campus my freshman year, “Have you thought about Greek life?”  I told her that I’d see “Animal House” and that was all I needed to know about Greek Life.  It took me a few weeks to realized that all of the men I looked up to on campus, all of the men I studied with, went to church with and hung out with were Sigma Chi’s.  I wanted something that would challenge me to be the best version of myself, and I realized that I would find that with Sigma Chi.

What has been your favorite experience with Sigma Chi?—
While it’s a daunting task to choose just one experience to call my favorite, one which I will never forget was the work week we had at the house before school started in the fall of 2009.  We worked all day everyday fixing up the house and all night every night just hanging out with each other at the house.  I think we probably accomplished more in that week with regards to the physical structure of the house than we have in the past 10 years combined.  I will always remember it as the most fun and, yet, most productive week I have ever spent in our house.
