WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SIGMA PI >>

See what faculty members, friends and parents think about Sigma Pi Fraternity...

NEW CHAPTER INSTALLATIONS:

"Sigma Pi has had a very strong impact on the Greek community as it has challenged the norm and helped lead the Greek community in a positive direction. It is clear that the members are headed in the right direction, and they are willing to speak up and live their values. They have provided the community with a different perspective of what fraternity means, and that challenge is what the community is looking for."

Mr. Chad Ellsworth
Coordinator of Fraternity & Sorority Life
University of Minnesota

"The Sigma Pi Expansion Staff did an absolutely amazing job of recruiting quality young men in a way that created a buzz and excitement for Greek Life at K-State throughout the student body. The student leaders and staff around campus have been very impressed with the high quality work done by Sigma Pi during the recruitment and colonization process. We are very fortunate to have Sigma Pi Fraternity as a part of the K-State Community and we look forward to working with you in the future."

Mr. Scott Jones
Director of Greek Affairs
Kansas State University

"Their participation in Homecoming was much appreciated, their eagerness to participate in intramurals was astounding, and their quick way to show bonds of brotherhood in such a short time was quite impressive...In addition to their 250 hours donated to the K-State Proud program, they also donated hundreds of dollars to philanthropies pertinent to Kansas State and the Manhattan community. With these outstanding characteristics, I truly can see this group of men doing a lot of great things in the future."

Mr. Jarod Nance
President, Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
Alpha-Omega Chapter
Kansas State University

"The brothers of Sigma Pi are a wonderful group of well rounded individuals and I am happy and proud to be associated with them in the Greek Life Community...Because the brothers of Sigma Pi are very dedicated to making Greek Life better on our campus, I can only predict great things to come. My sisters and I are extremely excited and are looking forward to working with them in the future."

Ms. Laura Barton
President, Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority
Zeta-Pi Chapter
Saint Joseph's University

"Sigma Pi has been a true success story on campus as far as the IFC is concerned. If every new chapter expansion could run this smoothly, it would make my job much easier. The members of the chapter have become involved on campus as well as with the IFC while exuding the desire to further the image of themselves and everyone around them. Within a short period of time, Sigma Pi has become a model to many other chapters on campus...They have proven that by truly devoting themselves to a cause, good things can, and will happen."

Mr. William Norvell
President, Interfraternity Council
The University of Alabama

"I have worked with the men of Sigma Pi for nearly a year, and can say without hesitation that they have quickly emerged as one of the highest performing chapters in our fraternity community. They have excelled in all facets of campus life, assuming positions of leadership on campus, performing service to the campus and the Murfreesboro community, and have accumulated an above average academic record in their time as a colony on our campus...I cannot say enough about the men of the Sigma Pi at MTSU. I will say without hesitation that they are a shining example of what it means to be a fraternity man on our campus, and they are a credit to your organization and will represent you well for years to come."

Mr. Gentry R. McCreary
Director of Greek Life
Middle Tennessee State University

THE ACE PROJECT:

On Sigma Pi winning the NIC Laurel Wreath Award for Best Program in 2007: "The program is interfraternal in nature, meaning that those Sigma Pi chapters who actively engage other fraternal groups on campus foster the same sense of community and interfraternalism that is the core of our movement."

Mr. Mark Katz
President, North American Interfraternity Conference

"It is both a privilege and an honor to work with such a dedicated and enthusiastic group of men. I believe you truly value the fraternal tenants of scholarship, service, and leadership. Your commitment to the ACE Project concept and giving back to the University of Florida is a testament to the character of men you recruit as brothers and the values you instill within your entire membership. For these reasons, your chapter sets the standard for excellence at the University of Florida."

Mr. Christopher H. Bullins
Director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs
The University of Florida

"I truly believe that the efforts of the Alpha-Nu Chapter were what Sigma Pi envisioned when they created the ACE Project. I am proud of our chapter for their continued commitment to serving our community and the example that they set for our students and other student organizations."

Mr. Steven Hirst
Director of Greek Life
Wake Forest University

"I applaud the men of Sigma Pi for their fine work they did working with other organizations and offices on the campus, with the Sam Spady Foundation, and with each other to organize a program that, I hope, will continue to be something the campus community can look forward to each year. Your week-long ACE Project shows the dedication you have to your fraternity, your fellow students and yourselves. Thank you Sigma Pi."

Mr. Tyler Havens
Assistant Director of Student Activities for Greek Life
Monmouth University

"We appreciate their service to the university both as student leaders and as volunteers who helped improve an academic facility. We have over 705 student organizations on campus, and Sigma Pi is one of a handful of organizations that have taken on a maintenance project for Purdue University."

Mr. Andrew Robinson
Greek Advisor
Purdue University

"In my 14 years at the University, I have never experienced any students as cooperative and polite as these young men. They mulched most of the culinary campus and helped us get ready for upcoming graduation. When we finished, the men ordered pizzas and treated us to lunch. Just wanted to let you to know what a classy group of young men they are and how well they represented themselves and JWU."

Mr. Norm Scherza
Grounds Supervisor
Johnson & Wales University (Providence, RI)

"When most University students finish class and prepare to party on Friday, custodian Brikti Haile starts her night by changing into her uniform and taking inventory of her supply closet. But this Friday, Haile started her shift at Sigma Pi's Unsung Heroes' Dinner. The fraternity hosted a grill-out for 320 of the University's custodial staff. The dinner was intended to show appreciation for the University's custodial staff, said engineer sophomore and fraternity President Bryan Roeser. 'All these workers help keep our campus clean, and they usually only get noticed if they don't do a good job,' Roeser said. 'This is our way for us to say thanks.' Custodian Cathy Reihe said that she has been working for the University's custodial service for 33 years, and she had never been thanked by a fraternity before. 'It's excellent that they acknowledged us,' she said."

INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SAM SPADY FOUNDATION:

"I wanted to thank you for your involvement with the Office of Substance Awareness. Sigma Pi was a great addition to our annual student and employee Health Fair on April 26, 2007. The resource table Sigma Pi set up was very informative on the dangers of binge drinking, drunk driving and awareness of Sam Spady. The brothers who volunteered their time were very enthusiastic and willing to assist in any way they could.  On April 23, 2007, this office co-sponsored the "Voices in Recovery" Program with Sigma Pi. This event involved three youth from a residential treatment center who shared their experiences and struggles around substance abuse and life now in recovery.  The message these youths shared seemed to be well received and of interest to the audience.  Once again, it was a pleasure to work with Sigma Pi and I look forward to co-sponsoring in the future!"

Ms. Suanne Shaad, MA, LCADC
Substance Awareness Coordinator
Monmouth University

THE SIGMA PI FRATERNITY EXPERIENCE:

On being a member of Sigma Pi Fraternity, what best prepared you to be Governor? (Courtesy: Emerald, Winter 2007 Edition)
"Family members, friends, and mentors taught me a set of values and beliefs that I followed despite what others may have thought, and I always had a passion to succeed at any endeavor I felt was important.  My experience at Arkansas State University instilled a loyalty in me that hasnít wavered and has remained with me all my life.  After completing law school at the University of Arkansas, while serving in the U.S. Army Reserves, I clerked for a small law firm and became fascinated by the legal and judicial process."

State of Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe

2006 Sigma Pi Founder's Award Winner

"I can say that joining Sigma Pi was the best thing I've ever done in my life.  Without the support of my chapter brothers at Seton Hall the transition would have been much more difficult, and I'm extremely thankful I was able to be in that family...Ethnicity was never an issue with Sigma Pi members when I pledged...The reason I pledged Sigma Pi was because the doors were wide open and they accepted me for sharing the similar ideals.  I was actually invited to check Sigma Pi out, the Delta-Epsilon brothers accepted me for who I was and not my color, and that was what made my experience so positive."

Mr. Dwayne M. Harris
(Delta-Epsilon, Seton Hall '90)
NAACP Presidential Award Winner

"I recall that Sigma Pi had a humble beginning, but it also had high ideals and a serious purpose; and that is the reason, I think, why it has grown into a large and strong organization.  Its chapter houses are laboratories where the members learn to live together, and it teaches the spirit of true brotherhood.  That is the kind of training that is so much needed in America and through the world today."

Retired Captain Walter M. Schirra, Jr.

"Fraternities provide excellent opportunities for leadership development as well as lessons in learning how to live with other people.  During my undergraduate days there was no greater influence in my personal development than my life in Psi Chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity."

Mr. Judson C. Ward, Jr.
(Psi, Emory '33)
Former Vice President and Dean of Faculties at Emory University
