collegiate leadership development organization.
support for the Fraternity is by

trust, retirement plan, life insurance
policy, or the pooled income fund.

Provide Significant Support!
Sponsorship
A significant way to support Sigma Chi’s
leadership and scholarship efforts is to
provide a naming and sponsorship level
gift. Opportunities start at $25,000, and
are generally payable over five years. Each
opportunity entitles a donor to prominent
recognition. Gifts can even be designated to
support a specific chapter.
Why I give:
“Values, Character, Integrity,
Leadership … these are
the qualities we seek in our
brotherhood, and the qualities
that the leadership development
programs of the Fraternity are
designed to foster. The Sigma
Chi Foundation is committed
to support our preeminence,
amongst all collegiate
organizations, in this field.”
