Learning Through Sigma Chi
Academic achievement is the first and foremost reason you attend college and should remain your number one priority. Scholastic success is also central to the mission of Sigma Chi. The Fraternity places strong emphasis on creating an atmosphere conducive to academic performance, as well as challenging each individual to live up to his own academic potential. Sigma Chi implements various programs designed to assist brothers with their academic pursuits including tutoring, advice with course scheduling, test and note files, quiet study hours, and incentives for good grades. Sigma Chi also provides financial scholarships, supported by our national organization and local alumni groups, recognizing outstanding academic performance.
