Parents of Sigma Chi
Mark Yarnell once said that "A leader is someone who demonstrates what's possible." Since the founding, The Sigma Chi Fraternity has always been a leadership-based organization that fosters an environment where young men can grow and develop with the support of the men around them. Unlike other similar organizations, Sigma Chi not only provides the resources and experiences to help men grow, but it also provides the opportunities to showcase their personal development.
With hit movies and constant media coverage, it can be intimidating for a parent to hear that their son is interested in joining a fraternity. The best advice that we give to our own parents, is to keep an open mind and research their fraternity. Sigma Chi promotes a healthy lifelong brotherhood that is free from any type of hazing or abuse. We work with each pledge to ensure that they remain involved with their academics and assist them in improving their GPA. Each year, our chapter hosts a parent's weekend, where the parents or relatives of both potential and current members' have the opportunity to sit down with the executive board of the chapter, and have any and all questions and concerns addressed. It is our belief that after you have met the brothers in our chapter, and had the opportunity to see what we stand for, that you will become confident in your son's decision.

"One, and the main, aim and object of Sigma Chi has been, and is, to develop and train broad-minded men who can recognize the wholeness of things and who are not bound down to a contracted, eight-by-ten notion of exclusiveness. There is an absolute necessity for such men."
~Founder Benjamin P. Runkle, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857
