To be clear, the local Sigma Chi Omega (SUNY-Buffalo not UC Santa Cruz. Delta Omega Chi was the local at UCSC) "featured" in MTV's 'Fraternity Life' was never associated with Sigma Chi International Fraternity. They were/are a local that petitioned Sigma Chi International Fraternity to become a chapter. The petition was denied prior to MTV's involvement (i.e. taping and airing of the show).

Currently, the local Sigma Chi Omega has retained blue and gold as their colors as well as the white rose for their flower. It is my understanding that anything else that might be associated with Sigma Chi International Fraternity is no longer used by the local. This may or may not be the result of potential litigation by Sigma Chi International Fraternity on (toward?) the local Sigma Chi Omega.
