Standard Bearer The Fall 2024 Eta ChaptEr oF Sigma Chi at thE UnivErSity oF miSSiSSippi I t's hard to beat an Oxford autumn; it never seems to get old! Every weekend has something to look forward to. Our guys are also enjoying a new chef in the kitchen, and our world-class housemother, Nancy "Boo Boo" McRight, is keeping them accountable and well-mannered. Our actives greatly enjoyed preparing for the second Thomas Mayo 5K Run. The first was an outstanding success, and this was even better. We owe special thanks to the time and effort given by our Sigma Chi moms who help coordinate the run; we simply couldn't do it without them. Brothers, if you would like to participate in the run or help sponsor this event next year, please don't hesitate to join the fun! Keep an eye on our social media and the event schedule on our website for the 2025 dates. (See the back page for information on how to follow Eta Chapter online.) Our chapter, house, and incredible social functions we host cannot continue to exist without the support and generosity of our alumni. Thank you, brothers, for your financial gifts! Your contributions helped provide the addition to the dining room, a new chapter room, six new study rooms, a complete remodel of the dorm, a weekend kitchen in the dorm, a remodel of the outside patio, and a remodel of the exterior. We're excited to share that Eta Chapter has a brand-new giving portal (see the back for more details)! Please consider making a new gift or becoming a first-time donor this giving season so we can maintain our spot as the premier fraternity at Ole Miss!
