The Plan for Our Home
As the project came into focus, there were four major priorities:
1. Improving the exterior to protect our home and to improve the
public image of Sigma Chi
2. Addressing the living experience within our home, including
common areas worn down over time and private spaces in need
of upgrades
3. Overhauling infrastructural components of our home long
overdue for both the safety of our members and guests and the
operating costs of our residents
4. Strategic funds to support Mu Mu with academic and leadership
opportunities, removing the financial burden of facility
maintenance, and retiring the mortgage
A chain's durability is measured by the strength of its weakest link.
Without a competitive and safe home, supporting the chapter's
academic and leadership growth, and ensuring the financial
foundation for Mu Mu, we leave our fate up to chance.

A New Face for Sigma Chi
One component of this project was to re-imagine the look of our
home. Inspired by the Hamrick home (above)—with which Mu
Mu has many legacy connections—imagine heading up the hill to
see two-story white columns all along the front of the house, with a
prominent front porch and "SIGMA CHI" in big, bold letters across
the front. We are still investigating a potential design but included are
two examples of either a 4-column or 6-column look. Feedback on
components like this are why we are asking for your involvement in
this study as it would be a big change for Mu Mu.
