Benefits and expectations
What
can a young man expect from Sigma Phi beyond the core values of
Friendship , Love, and Truth? He will have mentors and role models from
upperclassmen who provide support and guidance in scholastics,
social behavior, loyalty, honor, and individual responsibility. The
chapter house setting provides numerous opportunities to develop
integrated skills. A Sig will be expected to:
- Maintain higher-than-average grades
- Participate in extra-curricular activities
- Participate in volunteer work in the community in which the college is located
- Learn how the living unit is managed
- Participate in the business management of the chapter house
In addition, he will be expected to meet his financial obligations to the house as he progresses through school.
Brothers
will participate in activities that build links between Sigma Phi and
the rest of campus. Chapters have receptions and dinners to foster
frequent contact with faculty members. Some chapters even bring
nationally known speakers to campus.
Additionally,
brothers will hold positions within the chapter that will prepare him
and provide him with skills which can never be learned in the
classroom.
