Sigma Chi - University of Missouri

PAGE 3 Our Challenges and Needs X i Xi has withstood the test of time. From Depressions to World Wars to a Global Pandemic, we have learned from over 100 years and our previous rechartering that we are a Chapter made up of strong People. is knowledge will guide us on this quest to bring our Brothers home to 500 S. College Avenue into our classic and storied Chapter House. We aim to revitalize the bones of the house to be more up to date with what college students need today. As seen from other houses on campus, we hope to build places where boys can turn into men while creating the memories that build bonds of brotherhood. As we stand on the cusp of bringing our fraternity back to campus, there has never been a more opportune moment to rally support and raise the necessary funds to ensure our return is not only successful but also transformative. By revitalizing our fraternity, we have the chance to cultivate new friendships and strengthen existing ones, redefining the Purpose of our Sigma Chi brotherhood. We know we have done this process before, but the alumni are ready to begin anew again—for the last time. We have learned from our mistakes, and we are ready to be leaders at Mizzou once more. Other fraternities and houses have undergone these types of renovations, and now is our time to level the playing field. With updated bathrooms, newer community spaces, updated kitchens, and a growing demand for a Residential Learning Community, the arms race for having the best house on campus has never been more competitive. Further, non-Greek apartment complexes have been built in and near campus that feature updated amenities with private bedrooms and bathrooms. ese complexes advertise to students over a year out, so it's harder and harder for all fraternities to fill spaces in their houses. Our Place at 500 S. College Avenue puts us above the rest, but we need your help to maintain that. Fraternity homes are places where brothers laugh, learn, and love each other. Xi Xi cultivates that Power of brotherhood for the young men of Xi Xi, but with other fraternities matching our efforts, we must set the standard once again—as we always have.
