Chapter Continues Strong Giving to Charity;
Has One of the Largest Pledge Classes on Campus
he fall semester got off to a great start for the Iota Iota Chapter of Sigma
Chi and the new house is serving the chapter extremely well. For the
second year in a row we brought in the largest pledge class in our history,
welcoming 52 new men into our ranks. A large pledge class depends on a
good recruitment of new members, a process that must begin months or
years in advance, not unlike recruitment for football. I ask that alumni
please send our recruitment committee recommendations for potential new
members that live up to the Jordan Standard, even if they are a few years
away from attending the Capstone. You can see the full committee list on
page 5 or contact Ford Lindsay '16 at iotaiotarush@gmail.com.

I am also happy to report that over the summer we donated the $19,250
raised during Derby Days in April to the Children's Hospital of Alabama. Since
2002 Iota Iota has donated almost $175,000 to Children's Hospital and
other charities. In addition to our philanthropy, our brothers logged 220
hours of community service in 2012-13. We look forward to continuing this
tradition of service and philanthropy in 2014 and hope to set new records
in the years ahead.

Mount Vernon. Consul Hudson Riedel '14, Tray Smith '13,
Alex Henderson '14, Connor Somerville '13, and Taylor Smith '14
were allowed a rare honor to enter the tomb of General Washington

Thanks to Stewart McLaurin '81 for arranging the ceremony.
