The Jordan Standard
The confidence of the Founders of Sigma Chi was based upon a belief that the
principles which they professed and the ideal of the Fraternity which they sought
were but imperfectly realized in the organizations by which they were surrounded.
The standard with which the Fraternity started was declared by Isaac M. Jordan to
be that of admitting no man to membership in Sigma Chi who is not believed to be:
A man of good character …
A student of fair ability …
With ambitious purposes …
A congenial disposition …
Possessed of good morals …
Having a high sense of honor and
A deep sense of personal responsibility.
