Renfro '48 STRONG PHILANTHROPIC INVOLVEMENT Our philanthropic events were a great success with the annual Puppies on the Porch and MRelay taking place. Our Chapter will be using this momentum to continue into our Derby Days events, benefiting the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Brothers also raised a significant amount of money for Winterfest, an annual broomball tournament that benefits Autism Alliance. We are always grateful for those who have donated both time and money as it can go a very long way. BROTHERS ABROAD AND ON CAMPUS As a Chapter, we continue to focus on being active both in and out of the fraternity. Numerous brothers are studying abroad in London, Spain, and many more exciting places. Our Chapter had a pretty decent stint with intramural sports this past semester. The Sigs fought hard, but lost in the semifinal basketball game and we're looking to bounce back next year in flag football. It's always a pleasure to reconnect with our older brothers who have paved the way for us as Sigma Chis. We have a lot in store for the upcoming fall semester and are excited to share with you our future successes. Fraternally, Jackson Garey '19 Consul gareyj@umich.edu SIGMA CHI CELEBRATES ACADEMIC SUCCESS (Continued from page 1) Zach Jahn '19 and Adam Eckburg '19 witnessed a Wolverine victory in Indiana during March Madness.

Welcome, Spring 2017 New Members Charlie Brooks Andrew Bunt Everett Canepa Brian Clements Benjamin Elkins Sam Glasberg Anant Marur Harris Monoson Christopher Monteferrante Marc Noeh Simon Sheintoch Maxwell Strome Hunter Wasserman CHAPTER ETERNAL Tom ZurSchmiede '48 entered Chapter Eternal peacefully at home with his family on May 5. After serving in the U.S. Army in the Western Pacific at the end of World War II, he graduated from U of M in 1948 and its graduate school of business in 1950. He went on to serve as CEO of Federal Screw Works from 1970 to 2002 and was chairman for the 39 years preceding his death. He was a generous and active supporter of Sigma Chi and our Chapter. Tom's efforts were critical to the success of Phase One of our restoration campaign. In addition to his own generous support, he personally reached out to many alumni to add their commitment to our project. Tom's father donated the long dining room table where so many of us have been able to sit and share our brotherhood. For many years, we enjoyed Tom's participation in our restoration committee, sharing stories about the Chapter and brothers from his era and taking notes with his felt tip pen. All honor to his name.
