Editorial: Sigma Chi model for rest
Wow....IN HOC BROTHERS....
---------
This weekend ended a long struggle for Sigma Sigma Chi, UTM's petitioning chapter of the national Sigma Chi Fraternity.
After three years of work toward becoming a part of the national organization, the dream of only a few dedicated UTM students became a reality, with Saturday's installation of the fraternity's Kappa Psi chapter.
In only a few years, Sigma Chi grew not only in number, but also in quality, earning the inevitable respect of university administrators, students and even other fraternities. Their members are active and eager to fully participate in greek life so prominent at UTM.
Despite having to surmount jeers from other, larger, more established campus fraternities, UTM's Sigs continued their relentless quest to carve out their place among UTM's fraternities. We congratulate Sigma Chi for achieving full chapter status despite adversity.
Most importantly, Sigma Chi has not ignored academics in seeking recognition. The fraternity has repeatedly scored in the top quartile in fraternity grade point averages, and during the Fall 2006 semester, Sigma Chi led the pack, scoring a 2.98, well above all other established campus fraternities.
Other fraternities, sororities and student organizations should take serious note of Sigma Chi's accomplishments. Having been dealt a tough hand, the fraternity has returned a full house in surprisingly short order.
When other larger, more comfortable student organizations return grades significantly worse than previous semesters, it becomes necessary to ask what they have been doing lately.
Sigma Chi is the story of an underdog. It doesn't take time, enormous numbers or wealth to reach our goals. However, it does take dedication.
