Sigma Chi - Kansas State University

at statement was repeated so many times as an undergraduate member of our fraternity, but aer reflecting on it for 40 years, I think it may have an even deeper meaning on many levels. I still carry a Constantine cross on my key ring with 17 members of my family that have all been Sigma Chis. ey have been on four campuses. ree of the names on the cross are Significant Sigs. I couldn't be any prouder of them and of their involvement with Sigma Chi throughout their lives. I have had the great fortune of being involved in fulfilling my father's pledge to the capital campaign at the Alpha Epsilon Chapter here in Lincoln. I witnessed an undergraduate chapter in severe shape at the start of their capital campaign and suspended from the campus before the completion of it. ey reorganized both the capital campaign as well as the overall chapter. Within four years of the renovations and reorganization of the house, and with only eight actives le from when they were suspended, they grew organically and received a Peterson Award this year. I attended a luncheon with alumni and 20 of their actives and couldn't have been more impressed with this outstanding group of brothers. As I contemplated my involvement with the capital campaign for Delta Upsilon, I reflected on what my involvement in the house meant to me, and the outstanding relationships I have had with my brothers during our undergraduate experience and how those relationships remain alive today. I can't adequately express or quantify all that my relationships have meant to me and the success I have had through those many experiences. What I can do, though, through this effort and a contribution to this campaign, is make similar experiences possible for generations of young men yet to go through our house. In reality, this is what this campaign is about. I hope that you will reflect on your experiences and try to fully grasp how this campaign will allow us to keep this experience alive. I hope you will join me in not only reflecting that we are Proud to be a Sigma Chi, but that many more to follow will be able to share that same experience and thought. –Mark Whitehead '79 Campaign Chairman PROUD TO BE A SIGMA CHI
