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.
