Rush Fall 2010
Dear Potential Rushees,
Sigma Chi is a brotherhood with roots in the collegiate experience that engenders a lifelong commitment to strive to achieve true friendship, equal justice and the fulfillment of learning as part of our overall responsibilities to the broader communities in which we live.
The Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Chi at GW is steeped in tradition. Founded in 1864 we are still alive and strong today. It is our brothers, with diverse interests in extracurricular activities, academics, and cultural identities that make this Fraternity the ideal chapter and brotherhood it is today.
We invite you to find out more about our chapter at our recruitment events or by dropping by the house.
Sincerely,
Charles Pressner

Requirements for Membership
The health of an organization is determined by the quality of its members. There are two facets of requirements for becoming a Sigma Chi. First, a potential member must possess the qualities and convictions set in the The Jordan Standard, which ensures that men who are invited to pledge are worthy of membership. Also, potential members must meet the specifications laid out in the Fraternity’s Governing Laws.

Pledge Program
Sigma Chi, like many organizations, employs a probationary period for prospective members before their initiation into full membership. This period, called pledgeship, serves to educate a potential brother about Sigma Chi before he joins. During pledgeship, men develop and enhance their interpersonal skills through involvement in all aspects of chapter life. They interact with other pledges, undergraduate and alumni members, and develop as leaders in the community.
Sigma Chi enforces a strict no-hazing policy and cultivates an atmosphere that supports personal growth and leadership development. To read more about the pledge program, click here to read the Statement of Position Concerning Pledge Education and the Ritual.
