Pledging Sigma Chi
Pledging Sigma Chi is a process of learning, inspiration and achievement; it does not include degradation or humiliation. While each pledge must complete the learning process which leads to initiation in Sigma Chi, that is accomplished only in a positive and constructive manner.
Completing pledgeship is the only way a man can become a member of Sigma Chi. There are no honorary memberships. The procedure for pledging Sigma Chi includes the rush period, receiving an invitation to pledge (bid), and installation.
Jim Palmer - Arizona State, '67
Major League Baseball Player & Sports Analyst "You have to be honest, have integrity and be able to cooperate and get along with other people. Sigma Chi is a great place to learn that, and that's why it's a great thing to join a fraternity."
Daniel William Cooper - Miami 1857
One of the Founders of Sigma Chi "I trust the Institution will never be belittled or disgraced by any unbecoming stunts or low, mean performances which endanger limb, life or morals. It is too good and splendid to be mingled with anything low or debasing."
