Sigma Chi - University of Michigan

THETA THETA CHAPTER OF SIGMA CHI FRATERNITY | UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN | SPRING 2018 W ith great pleasure, we are proud to announce that Dave Train '84 has been recognized for his commitment, dedication, and service to the fraternity with the honor of being named an Order of Constantine Sig. Induction into the Order of Constantine is considered the highest honor that Sigma Chi bestows upon one of its members. The honor of being named an Order of Constantine Sig has been conferred on just over 720 brothers since the Order's inception in 1948. Dave will be inducted into the Order at the 2018 Grand Council in Chicago on June 22 and will be- come the eighth Theta Theta to receive the honor. Since joining the House Corporation in 1988 and serving as president since 2002, his leadership and dedication have been critical to the success of our Chapter. The success of his efforts is reflected in the sound financial and physical condition of our Chapter House, the quality of experience being provided for our undergraduate members, and our standing on Michigan's campus. On behalf of the House Corporation, we thank Mark Malueg '84 for coordinating the efforts of the brothers who nominated Dave, including Order of Constantine members Dr. Charles Thatcher '43, Jon Greenawalt, Penn '61, Bill Bringham Jr., Albion '75, Don Fergle, Central Michigan '80, and Chris Nyers, Western Michigan '89; Chapter advisors from Kettering, Brad Brumm and Sam McClure; and Theta Thetas Bill Swaney '60, Todd Halsted '84, Jeff Kuchman '85, and Dave Nyren '86. If you would like additional details on attending the induction ceremony at Grand Council, please contact Dan Page '87 at dpage345@gmail.com. Frank Grant, 1892 • Thurlow Coon, 1906 • Ferris Fitch, 1915 Jerome Gilbert, 1924 • Goff Smith '38 • Harry Hallock '40 Charles Thatcher '43 • Dave Train '84 A big key to the solid standing of our Chapter on campus has been the gener- ous financial contributions of our alum- ni. Our successful restoration and renovation of the physical structure would not have been possible without your support. We are proud to provide a safe and desirable living environment for our undergraduate brothers and a wonderful meeting location for many of us as we return to Ann Arbor for a visit or a football game. The next step in supporting Theta Theta is a re- quest for your time. We need your help with a variety of functions, which alumni take on to help our Chapter be successful. Over the years, many of your brothers have committed their time to managing our house. With apologies to the names I am missing, a partial list of House Corporation leadership and Chapter advisors I can think of includes: the legendary Harry Hal- lock '40, who started our House Corporation; Rick Siedlaczek '78, John Cackowski '77, and Terry McInerney '83 in the early '80s; Jack Edman '50 and Wally Grant '49 in the late '80s and early '90s; Don Lindow '70, Jeff Palisin '86, and Dick Swaney '69 in the '90s; Tom ZurSchmiede '48, Don Fergle, Central Michigan '80, Jerry Kocis '94, and Mike Stea- rns '81 in the 2000s and during the recoloniza- tion; an all-star crew from Kettering including Matt Seuberling '07, Jeff Kevwitch '07, Jor- dan Sahs '07, and Chris Brooks, Idaho '06; and Chapter advisors in the 2000s dominated by help from Kettering graduates Brad Brumm '03, Steve Pagalos, Sam McClure, and Cam Ger- main. The bulk of our current House Corpora- tion, including Dave Train '84, Rick Miller, Emory '82, Todd Halsted '84, Tom Roth '83, and myself, have been on the board for nearly 30 years. It is a rewarding role and working directly with the undergraduate Chapter provides us with the opportunity to see the quality of the brothers joining our ranks and validation of the positive experience and value of becoming a Sigma Chi. What we are looking for now is more brothers who can offer a time commitment.
