Sigma Chi - University of Cincinnati

THE BEARCAT SIG Zeta Psi Chapter of Sigma Chi at The University of Cincinnati V Fall 2020 The Value of the Sigma Chi Brotherhood and a Future Worth Supporting A s we endure a time of uncertainty, we hope Zeta Psi brothers are staying safe, healthy, and practicing appropriate social distancing measures. It's especially important right now to stay connected to the Sigma Chi brotherhood. I encourage you to reach out to a brother today—call or text someone—and support each other during these uncertain times. It will do more good than you realize and keep our Zeta Psi bonds strong. We must also stick together as brothers to ensure Sigma Chi's future at the University of Cincinnati. The Sigma Chi values that helped us transform from young men into today's leaders will continue to provide a solid foundation for Zeta Psi, and we owe it to future generations of brothers to secure that legacy. Ask yourself: where would you be without Sigma Chi? PROUD TO BE A SIGMA CHI While we know Sigma Chi has always been a strong fraternity at the University of Cincinnati, Zeta Psi would not be the chapter it is today without the steadfast support of our alumni. We're all proud to be members of Sigma Chi, which helped us successfully navigate the challenges of UC, provided leadership opportunities, and afforded us lifelong friends, some of whom have become business partners and associates. Through the seasons of our lives, we always have Sigma Chi. It's evident Zeta Psi has been a successful chapter for many generations, leading other groups on the University of Cincinnati campus. Because of the camaraderie of men, leadership development, and reinforcement of positive values, brothers have a strong affinity for Sigma Chi. UNIVERSITY RAMPS UP HOUSING OPTIONS In recent years, UC has seen a great deal of development in university housing. With that in mind, Zeta Psi Chapter is searching for ways to remain competitive and maintain a modern house that will attract the best and brightest students the university has to offer. This means we'll need all hands on deck as we decide the next steps to keeping Sigma Chi a top fraternity at UC. Whether related to local competition or preserving the home of Zeta Psi has known for more than 50 years, there has always been a clear sense that a project must be completed and that we must work together to do so. When we come together as brothers, we can achieve more. THE FUTURE OF ZETA PSI As we look ahead to 2021, a lot remains uncertain given the ongoing global pandemic; however, we're certain Zeta Psi Chapter will help future generations thrive and succeed in college and beyond. To ensure Zeta Psi can support our undergraduate brothers, it will require teamwork—the same teamwork that enabled you to have a life-changing Sigma Chi experience at UC. As alumni, it's our duty to afford the same opportunities to the brothers following in our footsteps. We know it will be hard work to keep Sigma Chi competitive on campus, and we hope all alumni will be patient and understanding as our House Corporation brainstorms ways to ensure our legacy at UC for years to come. We are discussing options and will update undergraduates and alumni as we narrow them down and find the best path forward. In Hoc Signo Vinces, Drew Harmon '14 President, House Corporation alumni@zetapsisigs.com W hen young men join a fraternity, if they are lucky, they meet a brother who is a strong leader, fun to be around, and helps them get where they need to be. For a generation of Zeta Psi brothers, that man was Greg Wolf '92. Greg—devoted husband, loving father, successful businessman, coach, and beloved Sigma Chi brother— suddenly entered Chapter Eternal on August 3, 2020, at the age of 50. While Greg is no longer with us, Zeta Psi is committed to carrying on his passion for Sigma Chi to honor his memory. Greg played football in high school and was a walk-on player at UC, but was forced to stop due to a heart condition discovered at the end of his freshman year. Had they not caught it, Greg may have died very young; instead the world got five wonderful decades with him. Playing for UC was one of Greg's proudest accomplishments, and football was always a big part of his life. A private white rose ceremony (due to COVID-19 restrictions) was held in Greg's memory on August 8. Gary Heineman '77, who was a chapter advisor during Greg's term as consul and became a close friend, led the ceremony.
