Letter
From the President:
The Alpha Sigma Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity remains one of
the most successful chapters at the University of Oregon. Nurtured
by resolute men and ennobled by high and sacred purpose, Alpha
Sigma is the only chapter on campus to not lose its charter since
establishing itself in 1925.
For over 80 years, Alpha Sigma has helped to develop and mature
over 2,000 undergraduate leaders by upholding its values of promoting
knowledge, advancing culture and building character. Over
the 2005-2006 school year, we proudly initiated 27 men and were
recognized as having the "Best Recruitment Effort" of
any fraternity.
Alpha Sigma also excels academically. Our 3-term cumulative grade
point average of 3.01 surpasses the University of Oregon All-Men's
average of 2.975. With useful resources including Big Brother Mentors,
Study Tables and a bank of study resources, we place a great emphasis
on our scholastic performance. Currently, our brotherhood includes
Presidential Scholars, Deans' Scholars and members of the Lundquist
College of Business Honors Program and the Society of College Scholars.
The Brothers of Alpha Sigma are leaders on campus, holding memberships
in over 30 organizations including Student Senate, Interfraternity
Council, the Native American Student Union, UO Hillel, Beta Alpha
Psi Accounting Fraternity and the University of Oregon Investment
Group. We continue to take an active part in Greek Life and the
surrounding community as well. Over the past year, we have participated
in more than 10 Greek Life philanthropic events, and we are proud
to have just won Alpha Chi Omega Sorority's Diamond Days softball
philanthropy. Additionally, we have volunteered an average of over
4 hours of community service per brother in recent terms.
We not only believe in our
values of Truth, Temperance, Tolerance and
extending the Helping Hand, but we live them on a daily
basis. It is for that reason that we proudly take the Best
of the Best and make them Better.
