Brothers
As you have more than likely already heard, our hard work last year once again was recognized at LTW this year in Lincoln, Nebraska. For those that have not heard the good news, we have once again brought home the Peterson Significant Chapter Award. For those of you who are counting, this one is number eleven. Along with the Peterson, we brought home the Legion of Honor Award, which recognizes scholarship. With the hard work we have put into our scholarship program in the past years, this is something that I believe is very warranted, but we can always be ambitious towards improvement. While these are tremendous accomplishments, perhaps the highlight of the LTW weekend was the 3 on 3 basketball tournament. Iota Sigma is officially the best basketball chapter in the Sigma Chi world winning the tournament which had a field of 64. Brothers Malhotra, Dellay, Ackerman, Lieske, and a recruit from UCLA bested the field easily. There was never any doubt that the tournament was ours. For those of you who wish to partake of the spoils, the XBox will be located on the wing this year for your enjoyment.
The upcoming year is full of opportunity for this chapter. The scholarship program will continue to improve under the guidance of Brother Shaffer. The RMF program will come into shape under Brother Karnatz. There are many areas that can always be made better. As Brother Gustafson always told us when I was a Freshman and Sophomore, “we’re good, now let’s do what it takes to become great.” This year we have to opportunity to be great. Not only as Sigma Chi’s, but as the Greek leaders on campus. The opportunity is there.
In the upcoming weeks we will begin school and the routine of college life. Let’s help one another to break the routine and do something great. Brother Hester will be coming for our Brotherhood Retreat. There is no other man that I know that can point us toward the direction of greatness. He allowed us to come into existence 13 years ago. Let’s make the next 13 better then the first. Let’s grab it, and make it our own.
Fraternally
