Sigma Chhi Case Study
This standard is the same as it is anywhere else, and any Sigma Chi’s who are claiming “inactive status” are doing so against the legal parameters of their chapter and are doing so undetected. Even much larger chapters such as Michigan State (110+ members) were able to get 100% collections from their brotherhood. For your information, some other chapters have achieved this via threat of the collections process, which ruins your financial credit going forward. As we see it, that would be a much more severe and lasting consequence than the official Form-50 process we have proposed.

Regarding your complaints about the composition of the payments required, you are incorrect. You do still owe the parlor fees for living out of house which you agreed to pay previously. However, you were not requested to pay slush, or “social fees” as you have called them. The dues you owe to the chapter go towards the following essential chapter functions:
1) National fees, 2) Magister budget for pledge retreats and supplies, 3) athletics budget for fraternity participation, 4) recruitment budget for hosting recruitment events, 5) brotherhood event budget, 6) chapter composite

However, I will address your concerns since you were keen to bring it up. The pledge process, though extremely important, is merely an initial step towards being a brother of the Sigma Chi fraternity. The constitution you acknowledged during your pledge term placed heavy emphasis on lifelong commitment, and required you to pay all dues owed to the chapter throughout your time as an undergraduate member. Since then, you’re actions have indicated the exact opposite, as you have blown off subsequent Initiation responsibilities, and have removed yourself from attending any chapter meetings or having any involvement with the business of the

    My name is Tevin Hamilton. I am from Topeka, Kansas. This semester I will attend KU for my first semester of my sophomore year. I attended Barton County Community College on a tennis scholarship last year. Last year should have been a great opportunity for me to improve my game as well as improve my grades in the classroom. Unfortunately, my coach was reprimanded for athletic misconduct; he would skip my men's practice after personally instructing every girl on our women's tennis team, which I thought highly discriminated my teammates and I. Honestly, I never thought I would come to the University of Kansas or even think about joining a fraternity. However, after talking with some of the brothers in Sigma Pi I feel like I would fit right in. Sigma Pi seems like a really great opportunity to not only socialize and enjoy my college experience here at KU, but also join a brotherhood, make friends I will have for the rest of my life, and become a part of something very few people have the opportunity to do.…

    When one hears the words “sorority” or “fraternity,” what comes to mind? A big house, nice clothes, or even pillow fights? Some sororities may have these things, but that is not what they are about. Sororities and fraternities have been sweeping over college campuses for years and are beginning to take over even more campuses. Katie Lambert, who wrote the article How Sororities Work, stated, “For many, a sorority or fraternity can be a great way to make lasting friendships, build a smaller community within a university setting, and find opportunities for leadership and service.”…

    One of the bad things about fraternities is that they are very much related with alcohol and binge drinking. According to Kent State's newspaper Daily Kent Stater, Susan Goetschius, the spokeswoman for Alfred University in New York, a pledge of the Klan Alpine was "put in a trunk of a car with a six pack and a bottle of liquor and [was] told to drink." The student was found dead later at the fraternity house. This isn't an uncommon occurrence, either. This is happening more often than you would think. The Daily Kent Stater also tells us that researchers found that the number of students who they have found to binge drink and also get low grades were more likely to be in the Greek system than the ones who were not involved in the Greek system. There are numerous stories and reports about students dying because of alcohol poisoning. These fraternities are known for their drinking parties and their "keggers". People would only assume that's what you would do if you're going to a fraternity, and so it continues. Some of the smartest people in the world were Greek while they were in college, so it's not seen as a bad thing. Look how they turned out after all. Martin Luther King, Jr., James Dean, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, and John F. Kennedy were all Greeks back in their…

    I thought that this type of life wasn’t for me. My perspective changed when I met some of the talented, responsible, studious men of the organization, known as Phi Iota Alpha at SIU. I realized that this fraternity is a place where I belong. If I were to have honor to be accepted into this organization, I would hope to gain a range of leadership opportunities from events that are hosted. I’m looking to gain a networking and academic support system where I can have someone to guide me when I am on the wrong path. Most importantly, if I were to join Phi Iota Alpha, I’m looking to get a family/brotherhood because I admire how they’re unified amongst themselves and demonstrate this unity on campus. This brotherhood would allow me to share my culture with those that understand where I come from and will help me learn about the Hispanic community associated with Greek life and the campus. Thank you for considering me as a candidate, I think I can be a great asset to Phi Iota…
