Here is what a few members of Sigma Chi Fraternity have had to say publicly.
Note: Most of these quotes are used for recruitment. However, most of these Sigs - if not all - have been involved with the Fraternity in additional ways as well.
David Letterman, Ball State '69
Television Host of 'The Late Show'
"When I became a Sigma Chi it was great; I was very proud of the association. It was kind of an instant confidence builder for me... It was a really good social experience, and for me also a social maturation and a great benefit."
Tom Selleck, Southern California '80
Television and Motion Picture Actor
"I made some very long-lasting friendships with Sigs in college... and are very valuable to me. The Fraternity has meant a lot to me, and the Ritual is very, very meaningful to me."
Jim Palmer, Arizona State '76
ABC-TV sportscaster, previously American League's best pitcher for three years and recently voted into the Hall of Fame
"You have to be honest, have integrity, be able to cooperate and get along with other people. Sigma Chi is a great place to learn that and that's why it's a great thing to join this fraternity."
Bob Griese, Purdue '67
TV sportscaster and former Miami Dolphins quarterback.
"Our initiations weren't a hell-raising type of thing; Sigma Chis were above that type of thing. They are interested more in what's inside your mind than in what's inside your gut. My Fraternity days in college were worthwhile and memorable."
Mike Ditka, Pittsburgh '61
NFL Head Coach New Orleans Saints
NBC Sportscaster, former head Coach - Chicago Bears
"What you do in life by your self doesn't mean as much as what you accomplish with a group of people. Sigma Chi was one of the greatest things that happened to me. I really appreciate what it has done for and to me. I know what it has done for men in my lifetime, and I can continue to give something back to it."
Merlin Olsen, Utah State '62
Television Actor and Sportscaster
Pro Football Hall of Fame
"There is no question that my Sigma Chi experience has had a tremendous impact on my career, professionally, and on my life."
J. Willard Marriott, Jr. Utah '54
President of the Marriott Corporation, the second largest food and lodging firm in the U.S.
"The key to our business is people skills. Sigma Chi helps you learn better people relationships, to get along with others, and also teaches the importance of honesty and integrity."
James Barksdale, Mississippi '65
CEO, Netscape Communications
"It's tough hiring good people. It's always a great testament to a man if on his resume it says he's a Sigma Chi."
Lod Cook, L.S.U. '49
CEO, ARCO
"What has impressed me throughout the years is that I have never met a Sigma Chi whom I didn't think was a special person. I am proud to be a Sigma Chi."
