First meal at BLTW 2010

Over the last weekend twelve of our brothers from the Zeta Theta Chapter A and B sections embarked on a trip to Balfour LTW.

Starting on Thursday 29th of July the brothers participated in both combined events for all courses as well as smaller groups to discuss the issues their individual chapters are facing; each member providing information as to how issues have been dealt with in the past in order to better their chapters. Each discussion group was lead by an alumni member who also provided feedback and kept the groups on track.

In addition to the leadership programs, the participants at Balfour LTW together attended the largest initiation ever performed. By the end of the week group discussions had wrapped up, and individual chapters had their strategic plans developed for the next year to guide their goals and other chapter members towards bettering the chapters.

The closing ceremony included the presentation of awards where Zeta Theta – A was awarded the Blue Peterson. We applaud them for their accomplishment, and while we may not have attained one ourselves we have been provided with valuable feedback so that we may better ourselves in hopes of performing at the level to be eligible for such an award.

-Zeta Theta Chapter of Sigma Chi

November 15, 2009

The weekend of November 14,2009 the Zeta Theta Chapter of Sigma Chi here at Kettering University reinstalled the Theta Theta Chapter at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. This was an extremely exciting opportunity as almost 46 years ago to the day Theta Theta installed us. This was the first time ever in Sigma Chi history that a Chapter has reinstalled its installing Chapter. All of the brothers of Sigma Chi are were appreciative for the opportunity, and put in much effort to see it’s completion.

The brothers of Sigma Chi recently hosted our 37th Annual Haunted House on the evening of October 24th. Many great ideas were developed and executed and all of the brothers thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the night’s events. We would like to thank everyone who came out and supported our cause as we raised $790 towards the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We take great pride in our efforts toward helping the community and this event remains one of our strongest thanks to everyone who came and donated your time and money to a great cause.

“Founded in 1855, Sigma Chi is one of the oldest fraternities and can be found on over 255 college campuses throughout the United States and Canada. Our leadership qualities, untiring brotherhood and commitment to community service have proven us to be ‘one of the most solid, and easily the best known fraternity in America’”

–Life Magazine

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you out to the Zeta Theta chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity this winter. As young adults entering the college life, it is our goal to show you just what true brotherhood is, how it can be attained, and when given the right tools, how it can blossom into true lifelong friendships. The fundamental purpose of the Sigma Chi Fraternity is to cultivate an appreciation of and a commitment to the ideals of friendship, justice, and learning. These ideals and objectives have been at the heart of Sigma Chi since its inception in 1855 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. These principles, ever present in the hearts and minds of the Zeta Theta chapter serve as guides for the present and future members of our house.

Our recruitment program is just that; a recruiting of young men on the Kettering University campus who wish to become the leaders of men, both on and off of campus. We accomplish this goal by seeking out the finest of men in regards to their character, convictions, and moral fiber. Our program is structured to allow the brothers of the Zeta Theta Chapter to be readily accessible and willing to assist in uncovering your true character. Our guiding principles, which remain unchanged for over 150 years, continue to define the essence of Sigma Chi, and are in the most basic form, what we seek in those who wish to join our organization.

This term, we will be hosting a wide variety of events at our house in hopes that you will come out and get to know the brotherhood, and what it truly means to become a Sigma Chi of the Zeta Theta Chapter. Our recruitment is a “dry” recruitment, in that we refuse to serve alcohol on the days of our recruitment events. This is a chapter choice that has been made for years now, and has served us in recruiting men of good character, students of fair ability, with ambitious purposes, congenial dispositions, possessed of good morals, and those who have a high sense of honor and a deep sense of personal responsibility.

So again, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Zeta Theta chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity for fall recruitment. We all hope to see you here, and truly do look forward to getting to know you.

Sincerely,

Dominic Piriano

Sigma Chi Recruitment Chairman

On the weekend of November 8th 2008 the Zeta Theta chapter celebrated its 45th anniversary as a chapter. With over 180 attendees the event had a great turn out of not only undergraduates and alumni, but also bid returnees who will be pledging Sigma Chi in the Spring. The night consisted of a a silent auction, a formal dinner, and a few important speakers including members of Zeta Theta House Corps. Ken Kayser and Paul Cloutier, and 59th Grand Consul Dick Hester. After the speakers were finished and everyone had eaten the floor opened up for dancing and general socializing between the undergrads, alumni and bid returnees. Thank you to all alumni that attended, and we hope to see you at the 50th.
