Sigma Chi - University of Missouri

The The Tiger Sig Published by the Xi Xi ChaPter alumni assoCiation of sigma Chi fraternity COLUMBIA, MISSOURI SPRING 2023 Page 2 • Newly Elected Officers | Brotherhood Transcends Time Page 3 • A Humble Leader | Alumni News ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT MATTERS All HAnds on deck T he very good news to report to all Xi Xi alumni is that the journey to return to active status at Mizzou has made the "battleship" turn. We are steaming ahead! We now have an active house corporation board of 15 directors, a separate and equally active Alumni Advisory Board, and an Associate Chapter (Colony) of 31 terrific undergraduates with a strong Chapter Advisor. COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS We have also established a new working spirit of collaboration with Sigma Chi International and the new Director of the Mizzou Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. We joined the new Missouri Greek Alliance along with many other fraternities, providing us access to best practices, education, university administration dialogue, and collaboration to improve the Greek experience at Mizzou. By design and alignment around the common goal of creating a new and better Chapter, we are building an alumni organization that is less house corporation-centric. This allows the house corporation to focus on our house, property, and finances while serving as the landlord so that the alumni advisors can work directly with the Chapter officers and Chapter operations. With the new alliances and an open collaborative approach, we are not going this alone. Not now, not in the future. What we need now is you! WE NEED YOUR HELP There are more opportunities now to be an engaged Xi Xi alumnus. In the coming months and years, we will need new directors, advisors, volunteers on committees, event chairmen—and yes, donors—as we do have a need for fundraising. To the right, you will see "88 Ways Alumni Can Engage." I urge you to find one or more ways to stay, or get back to being, involved. Keep your Sigma Chi spirit of Brotherhood strong! There is no doubt that you will find it rewarding—I have. You are connected to Sigma Chi and the Xi Xi Chapter as a brother and always will be! Now activate that connection to help build young men into brothers we can be proud of. A great place to start would be to get together with other Sigma Chis in your area, and we can help you find them. I hope to hear from you soon to get back in engaged because the benefits of Xi Xi Chapter didn't end after graduation. In hoc, Dave Knight '74 House Corporation President deknight59@gmail.com X i Xi alumni are the backbone of our proud Brotherhood. Without you, there would be no legacy of Sigma Chi at Mizzou, so it's crucial that we continue strengthening our bonds as our Chapter looks ahead to the future.
