Preparation for Brotherhood  

Preparation for brotherhood is centered around a five-week model calendar, the program provides pledges with structured activities and schedules that maximize a pledge’s experience and helps ensure he emerges from it with the training necessary to become a contributing brother to Sigma Chi. This is the 1st program in the Greek letter society of its kind. During each week of the 5 week program we will go over one or two of our core values, as well as deeply introspective activities designed to help you better understand yourself and the type of man that you wish to become. You will learn the history of Sigma Chi, its designs and purposes in society and you will be able to make an educated decision on weather or not you wish to become a brother in Sigma Chi.

In addition to new member educator-led learning, new pledges will be introduced to Sigma Chi U, which houses the Fraternity’s online component of pledgeship. There, potential new brothers will hear directly from past Grand Consuls what they value about the Fraternity, and access online pledge tests. Headquarters officials estimate that a pledge will spend 12 hours on Sigma Chi U-centered training during his five-week pledgeship, leaving the majority of his time to engage with his pledge brothers, New member educator, and the rest of the chapter.
