Thank You, Early Donors F or our annual Derby Days week, Xi Xi chapter raised over $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Our brothers truly went above and beyond by dedicating their time during the week to achieve this goal. The amount raised exceeded our expectations, and the whole week ended with success and a fantastic gala. This year's Derby Days also served as an important showing of Sigma Chi's involvement in the community, both on and off campus. This spring, Xi Xi held its first independent initiation in years, during which we welcomed eight new members of our own—as well as a member of the Delta Tau chapter. The initiation was overall a great success, and the few faults will serve as lessons to make future initiations even better. Our chapter has been making many strides this summer to find upstanding young men, across all of Missouri, who are worthy of Sigma Chi. With many recruitment events being held across both KC and St. Louis (and more individual efforts in smaller areas), we have already extended bids to many. Several potential new members have accepted bids this summer, and we are expecting our recruitment efforts to bear even more fruit in the coming weeks. Xi Xi reached an incredible 3.41 chapter GPA this spring, which was the third highest among IFC fraternities at Mizzou. The chapter was even nominated for Fraternity of the Year, further illustrating our successes in 2024-25. Looking to the future, a huge focal point for our chapter will be the transition into the chapter house, and we are extremely excited to make it our home once again. 500 S. College Avenue will serve an important role as a cornerstone to connect Brothers and host important events and chapter meetings.
