Tonight I knew more than ever that Sigma Chi is where I belong. My brothers (well I suppose to be full brothers after I get initiated ) were all happy to see me and chatted with me.

Not to get off track here, but I do have a slight etiquette question. Is it improper to wear fraternity gear while still a pledge? My intuition tells me I should wait until I become a full member before sporting the Sig Chi apparel, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
Generally - you'll need to consult with your chapter to see what you can and cannot wear as a pledge - items with the coat of arms or other symbols that distinguish an initiated member of a fraternity from a pledge is a big no-no. In Freemasonry, Entered Apprentice and Fellowcraft members are asked to refrain from wearing or displaying the Square and Compasses until one has been raised to Master Mason.
