e love sending you physical copies of
The Standard Bearer to stay connected

that can't wait that long? That's when it's
crucial to connect with alumni online!
From event reminders and save the dates to
breaking news, we want to keep all our alumni
in the loop through (limited) email updates. (And
you can enjoy the newsletter virtually as well!)
If you aren't getting emails from Eta Chapter
and the Mississippi Sigma Chi Association
or can't remember if we have your preferred
address, please email us at
updatemyrecord@penningtonco.com with "SX
MS Email Update" in the subject line and tell us
which email you'd like to use. (Or check your
spam folders—you never know!)
Thank you for helping us stay connected!
Don't worry—your email is safe with us! We do
not share your info outside of our organization.
