May 2011 President's Message
Founder's Day is right around the corner and Sigma Chi will be celebrating 156 years of Brotherhood. Recently, Sigma Chi initiated its 300,000th member. This is a huge milestone that we can be proud of. So, what's unique with our San Diego Sigma Chi Alumni Chapter? Simple, we have one of the largest alumni base in the nation. This alumni chapter serves three undergraduate chapters, as well as, all alumni brothers who move into this beautiful region. Our last regional count, Oceanside to Chula Vista, was over 2,800 alumni brothers. We are one BIG family.
The first half of this year is almost complete and there has been plenty to celebrate. In February, UCSD - Iota Chi celebrated their 20th Anniversary and welcomed back many Founders. In March, SDSU – Delta Xi Chapter welcomed back their brothers to an alumni BBQ and March Madness Basketball game. Our April luncheon brought together the brothers of USD – Theta Lambda. We are fulfilling our mission by connecting our brotherhood and rebuilding our base.
I'm excited to see the growth and reach of our brotherhood. Each of you are doing exciting things and the White Cross is gaining luster! I would like to acknowledge several groups of brothers: first, my executive board who constantly give without reservation; second, our 2011 dues paid members and, finally, a extra bit of gratitude goes to our White Cross Members, who have given that little extra. I would ask that you consider becoming a White Cross Member so we can continue serving our 3 undergraduate chapters. Thanks again for the opportunity to serve and you'll always find it here!
IHSV,
ANTHONY Q. BERNAL
