Nearly 100 years aer Robert Sr. was initiated, Karen and Bruce have enjoyed seeing how Sigma Chi has developed their sons, Tyler Moore '10 and Mitchell Moore '16, and nephews, Davis Rolfe '17, Nicholas Rolfe '19, and Richard Rolfe '20, into values-based leaders who are committed to the betterment of character, campus, and community.
