The TIgeR SIg spring 2014 page 3 Finishing the Year Strong sigma Chi is nearing the end of a strong and successful year on campus. over the past couple of semesters, we have been moving back to the top of fraternities in grades. The Chapter has been stressing grades ever since our fall from the top five and is reaching for a top-three finish going into the 2014-15 academic year. Busy Spring Semester our annual scholarship banquet and mother's Weekend will take place in april. This weekend has become an event that every member looks forward to throughout the semester. The alumni that make this weekend possible are truly a grand attribute to the Xi Xi Chapter of sigma Chi. Following this year's scholarship banquet, the Chapter will be immediately diving into Derby Days. This year's philanthropy will include dunk tanks, housemom talent shows, bidding of the brothers, skits performed by participating sororities, our extremely popular volleyball tournament, and will be concluded on saturday night with the crowning of our sigma Chi sweetheart at the sweetheart ball on the front lawn of the house. The brothers, as well as our dates, cannot be more excited as the sigma Chi sweetheart ball has been a hot ticket over the past couple of years. This year, we plan to raise $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer institute throughout our week of Derby Days. We Appreciate Your Support We would like to give a marvelous thank-you to our new housemom, Kathy Estes, who helps plan every sigma Chi event as well as putting up with everyone 24/7. sigma Chi is approaching a very promising year and we could not be more excited. We are thankful to all of our alumni who have contributed over the years. We are proud to represent all of your hard work during our time at Xi Xi Chapter. in hoc, Hunter Holman '15 Consul hmhz8f@mail.missouri.edu Brothers Focus on Academics, Look Forward to exciting Spring events Sigma Chi was once again the leading donator at Columbia's annual Polar Plunge, where members volunteer to jump in the frigid waters at Stephen's College Lake, raising $7,000.
