HOW RUSH WORKS.....

Most campuses have a recruitment, or "rush," period designed to help you learn more about the Greek organizations on your campus. At some schools you must register for rush (an easy and harmless process); at others you can just visit each chapter as you like. In any case, find out when your campus rush is by talking with members of the Sigma Chi chapter on your campus.
During Recruitment, talk with the members of every Greek organization to find out which is right for you. If both you and the Sigma Chi brothers on your campus agree that Sigma Chi is the fraternity for you, you'll be extended a "bid," or invitation to join.
If you accept your bid, you will enroll in a pledge, or educational program. The pledge program is designed to teach you more about Sigma Chi and teach the chapter more about you. The process of pledgeship consists of intellectual exercises, shared experiences, and cultivation of friendship of a higher ordeal - all aimed at enlisting worthy men and meaningful commitment of lifelong duration. The program is designed to be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually stimulating, and therefore hazing and degrading activities are prohibited.
The pledge period culminates with initiation, your first introduction to the teachings of our Ritual and the beginning of your life in Sigma Chi. After initiation, you will receive what we call P.I.T., or post-initiation training, designed to help you learn more about our ideals and ritual.

Why Rush Sigma Chi?

Sigma Chi is one of the largest fraternities in the nation, we have distinguished Sigs that we are honored to call "brother". Here are a few of them you might know:
-John Wayne
-Mike Ditka
-David Letterman
-Brad Pitt
-Drew Brees
-Sean Payton

Aside from what you gain professionally from Sigma Chi, what you gain personally is much deeper.

Sigma Chi is a lifelong experience, once a Sigma Chi; always a Sigma Chi. Our brotherhood is stronger than any other greek fraternity in the world and the Zeta Eta chapter is no exception. Our chapter is the most distinguished on campus. We have a reputation of excellence that cannot be over-looked. We have won the Intramural championship every year for the past half decade. In 2009, we recieved the highest new member GPA and highest member GPA. In 2010, we recieved the risk management award, as well as the member education award.

Our alumni are the most supportive alumni on campus. Our alumni have supported us through thick and thin. We have two pieces of property in the commerce area, the Sigma Chi House which is located across from the Sorority houses; and the Sigma Chi Ranch which is located down hwy 11 west of Commerce. The support of our alumni only solidifies the fact that Sigma Chi will be with you long after you are out of college.

If you would like to help continue the excellence of this great chapter, please contact our rush chairman Shea Shaw at 903-366-3971 or our president Micah Glascock at consul.zetaeta@gmail.com/ 903-517-2804.
