Our Fall 2007 Rush Schedule has been posted online. Check it out!

March 2007

The Beta Theta Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity has grown by leaps and bounds. With the initiation of twenty-one great Brothers from the Fall '06 pledge class the Beta Theta chapter of Sigma Chi has regained its position as the largest Greek Organization on campus. Brother Mike Baron has six new pledges under his guidance and we hope to initiate into the Fraternity as the Winter Class of '07.

Brother Paul Platko has been putting much time and effort into Derby Days enlisting help from many fellow Brothers in order to make this springs Derby Days the biggest and best series of events to raise money for charities on campus. Our Chapter Advisor Fred Boutros has been working hard with the Brotherhood and the Housing Corps to get renovations on the house started. Also with the help of many senior Brothers the Million Dollar Endowment plan which we hope to have in place for our chapter's 100^th anniversary in 2009 has gotten a great start. This Endowment will be used to provide many different things most likely including scholarships for brothers as well as tutoring, education, and additional leadership programs in addition to all of the great programs offered by Sigma Chi International.

September 2006

It's been a big year for the Beta Theta chapter. This fall, under the instruction of Matthew Solfanelli, 2006, 21 new brothers were initiated into the chapter. Justin Calugar, 2006, picked up where Matt left off in the Spring, and helped guide six more fine gentlemen into brotherhood. The chapter also did very well in Pitt's Greek Week competition, receiving recognition and awards in nearly every category. And Chapter Advisor Fred Boutros was voted advisor of the year.

This year we're off to a great start. Rush went great, and 26 fine young men signed bids. John Giarratano, 2008, is Magister this fall and has prepared a great pledge program for the new pledges. We look forward to initiating these new men into Sigma Chi and to the many events we have planned this fall, including Homecoming and the annual Gateway Clipper cruise.
