Recognizing Sigma Chi and the contributions of MU fraternities and sororities
Nov. 1, 2024
I was pleased to attend a banquet celebrating the rechartering of the Xi Xi chapter of Sigma Chi. Rechartering is a significant moment for the chapter and allows Sigma Chi brothers to make an even greater impact on campus and beyond.
For the past two semesters, the chapter placed in the top 3 fraternities for GPA rankings. Members also raised over $5,000 through philanthropic efforts last year and spent one day each month cleaning 1.5 miles of road they adopted. Sigma Chi is empowering its members to make a difference while enhancing our entire fraternity and sorority community.
Originally founded in 1896, Sigma Chi has a long history at the University of Missouri. Prominent alumni include industry leaders – and dedicated Mizzou supporters – such as Larry McMullen, Jay Shields and John Qualy. Jesse Hall namesake and former university president Richard Jesse was also a Sigma Chi brother.
Fraternities and sororities at Mizzou make an incredible impact through their fundraising and outreach – while also helping students find support and belonging. Congratulations to Chapter Consul Tyler Thomas and all 51 Sigma Chi brothers at Mizzou. I’m grateful for their dedication to others and for the contributions of our more than 7,300 fraternity and sorority members.
