Sigma Chi - Kansas State University

Delta Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Chi Kansas State University P.O. Box 442100 Lawrence, KS 66044-2100 Address Service Requested S igma Chi has started off the spring semester strong. The chapter has been very involved in intramurals, with 19 different teams in various leagues. Our most involved sports are softball, basketball, pickleball, badminton, in- door soccer, tennis, and volleyball. Along with our members' dominating intramu- rals, we are excited for all the philanthropy events across campus and our own Derby Days. Every member in our house was preparing for Derby Days for several weeks. In addition, we have a friendly competition this semester about who will attend the most philanthropy events on campus. While we have kept busy with Derby Days and supporting other great causes, our recruitment chairmen have been busy at work. They've been organizing recruitment events constantly and we have already had nine men accept bids for this upcoming fall semester. One of our most popular events was a K-State basketball watch party. We served pizza for all of our members and the po- tential new members. It was a great time meet- ing these young men, enjoying good pizza, and watching good basketball. In Hoc, Gage Roberts '22 Nick McLaury '22, Christian Flathman '22, Seth Wholewalter '22, and Tanner Webb '22 on spring break 2019. Join Us for Upcoming Brotherhood Events!
