Sigma Chi

a sig i am, that is right i am finally writing about my fraternity. i love these guys, they are awesome.

for some people they feel that going greek is about buying friends, or partying, or everything that you have seen in the movie animal house.

well for me it is much much more than that. it is a group of guys that all share the same ideals and all uphold seven standards; a man of good character, a student of fair ability, with ambitious purposes, a congenial disposition, possessed of good morals, having a high sense of honor and a deep sense of personal responsibility. we are always striving to improve upon these standards which we hold dear to our hearts.

we all share these bonds of brotherhood and know and understand that this is just more than an excuse to get together and drink. these are the men in which you can feel comfortable telling your secrets to and knowing that it is ok. they are there in your darkest hour and in your moment of triumph.

this group of men knows that there is a value in the differences in people and they embrace it. they strive for what is best and know that they are here to improve upon what we have been left.

my creed: i will try to always find the positive in everything. be honest and trusting towards all. find the beauty in all things because everything is beautiful. recognize that i am the only one keeping me from greatness. know that there is always someone who is better than me and that it is my responsibility to help those that are not as skilled as me. love unconditionally. not let negative emotions get the best of me. smile. stop, if i find myself arguing over something trivial.shut up if i am angry, for it is better to hold my tongue than to say something that i will regret later.

all of us have one, a creed that is, and that is mine. we hold true to these things that we find dearest to ourselves and since they are so, they are dear to my brothers as well. in other words it is our personal journey to achieve something greater than what we are at this moment in time that causes each other to grow. we hold each other accountable for our actions and expect the same back. thus living up to the jordan standard, the points of which are listed above.

what i know is that men like these are hard to come by. and that we are all here for a purpose, lets embrace that and know that what we are here to do is to uphold the standards of which we all possess and grow from the knowledge of others.

i am proud to be a sig, and i forever am Sigma Chi.
