You have no idea how happy and proud I am. I promise that I did not push him to join. He did send me this message: "When it came down to it, I really liked the members, I liked the organization, and I knew that if they were good enough for my uncle, they're good enough for me."
So I am seriously 1 proud, happy uncle and member of Sigma Chi.

That's awesome news. Congrats to Clark.

That is great, arrowlady. Sigma Chi at SFA is a great chapter.
Come hell or high water, I will be at his initiation. I plan on finding out from the pledge trainer when it is, telling Clark that I can't make it, and then surprising him by showing up.

Aww, that is so great. Then let me amend my statement- congratulations to Clark, Sigma Chi, and YOU! it's so great when legacy or almost-legacy houses are also a fantastic personal fit. Your nephew is lucky to have you... And he'll feel that even more when he sees you at initiation!!

A members aunt did that during our 08 initiation. She surprised her literally AT the door. During part of it, the aunt was crying when she was speaking. It was beautiful.

I'll include the code. Remember, Clark thought that all of the groups had something going for them.
Justice League - Delta Chi
Justice Society - Lambda Chi Alpha
Legion of Super Heroes - Pi Kappa Alpha
Outsiders - Sigma Nu
X-men - Sigma Phi Epsilon
Avengers - Sigma Tau Gamma
Defenders - Theta Xi
The group that has colonized at the campus is Alpha Gamma Rho. Clark has spent a lot of summers on our family's farm. He really enjoys being there. He and I (and I should have known better) were under the impression that you have to be majoring or minoring in some sort of Agricultural degree, so we thought he wasn't eligible. Only after talking to the Ag teacher on my campus (an AGR alumn), did I find out that not all AGR chapters require the Ag department major.
But, that's okay, because Clark really liked Sigma Chi from the outset. Of course, hearing about it all his life from his uncle didn't hurt.
