The Road to Joining Sigma Chi
RUSH SIGMA CHI @ MSU
Why Join Sigma Chi?
Sigma Chi is unique among Greek organizations.
Not only have we grown for over 150 years through wars, depressions, and dramatic changes in the college scene, but we have also remained true to the Seven Virtues honoring our founders, and the Three Great Aims of our Fraternity- Friendship, justice, and learning. These Principles unify us and drive our personal ascent. We are an organization dedicated to the development of our members, evidenced by the extraordinary leaders that have emerged from our ranks.
Sigma Chi was founded on values based principles for the development of transformational leaders.
What you do in life by yourself doesn’t mean as much as what you accomplish with a group of people. Sigma Chi was one of the greatest things that happened to me. I really appreciate what it has done for me in my lifetime, and I hope I can continue to give something back.” – Mike Ditka, PITTSBURGH 1961
