Why Sigma Chi? —
Sigma Chi was the only fraternity that presented an all-around package. Others seemed to have one good aspect while Sigma Chi had many. As I got further into my pledge semester, I came to respect what the fraternity stands for more and more in addition to the great friendships that began to form with the actives. They all were truly interested in my development through the pledge semester and gave lots of support. Finally, I’ll end with a quote from Brother John Wayne, “Men join fraternities; leaders of men join Sigma Chi.”

What has been your favorite experience with Sigma Chi?—
My favorite experiences have been the ritual. At those times, I really got to think about what the fraternity stood for, what its ideals are, and how aiming to live by those ideals will push me toward being a better man.
