The Jordan Standard
The confidence of the Founders
of Sigma Chi was based upon a belief that the principles which they
professed and the ideal of the fraternity which they sought were but
imperfectly realized in the organizations by which they were surrounded.
The standard with which the Fraternity started was declared by Isaac M.
Jordan to be that of admitting no man to membership in Sigma Chi who is
not believed to be:
- A man of good character...
- A student of fair ability...
- With ambitious purposes...
- A congenial disposition...
- Possessed of good morals...
- Having a high sense of honor, and
a deep sense of personal responsibility.

The Sigma Chi Creed
I believe in fairness, decency,
and good manners. I will endeavor to retain the spirit of youth. I will
try to make my college, the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and my own chapter
more honored by all men and women and more beloved and honestly
respected by our own brothers. I say these words in all sincerity: That
Sigma Chi has given me favor and distinction; that the bond of our
fellowship is reciprocal; that I will endeavor to so build myself and so
conduct myself that I will ever be a credit to our Fraternity.
- George Ade, Purdue 1887

The Spirit of Sigma Chi
The spirit of Sigma Chi, as conceived by the Founders more than 140
years ago yet visible and alive today, is based on the theory that
friendship among members, sharing a common belief in an ideal, and
possessing different temperaments, talents, and convictions is superior
to friendship among members having the same temperaments, talents, and
convictions; and that genuine friendship can be maintained without
surrendering the principle of individuality or sacrificing one's
personal judgment.

Songs of Sigma Chi |
|
A Sig I Am
A Sig I am, A Sig I’ll be,
A Sig through all eternity,
A Sig by day, a Sig by night
To be a Sig is my delight.
CHORUS
Sig, oh Sig, Sigma Chi,
I’ll be a Sig until I die;
Sig, oh Sig, Sigma Chi,
I’ll be a Sig until I die.
|
Then Here's to our
Fraternity
Then here’s to our Fraternity,
and may she never die.
May heav’n preserve the Blue and Gold; and The Cross of Sigma Chi.
Oh, Sigma Chi, Oh, Sigma Chi,
I grieve that we must part.
Oh, Sigma Chi, thy snowy Cross;
Is blazoned on my heart.

The Sweetheart of
Sigma Chi
When the world goes wrong, as it's bound to do
And you've broken Dan Cupid's bow
And you long for the girl you used to love
the maid of the long ago
Why light your pipe, bid sorrow avaunt,
Blow the smoke from your alter of dreams
And wreathe the face of your dream-girl there
The love that is just what it seems.
The girl of my dreams is the sweetest girl
Of all the girls I know
Each sweet co-ed, like a rainbow trail
Fades in the after glow
The blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair
Are a blend of the western sky
And the moonlight beams
On the girl of my dreams
She's the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
