Captivated by professional wrestling as a teenager and believing it to be real, Grand Tribune and Order of Constantine Sig Jim Holcomb, CAL. STATE-SACRAMENTO 1994, found out the truth about the sport from a trusted family friend.
Reflecting on this moment, Holcomb likened the realization to hazing in Sigma Chi, initially believed to strengthen brotherhood but actually is contrary to the Fraternity's values. Rather, genuine friendships are built on dignity and mutual respect, not on harmful rituals.
Sigma Chi Today, launched May 1 under the charge of 73rd Grand Consul Bob Wilson, FORT HAYS 1981, is a one-hour e-learning course that has the vision to bring all 250,000 living alumni up to speed on the Fraternity’s evolution since the 1970s and how Sigma Chi continues to serve members today. The online course invites participants to rediscover the heart and soul of the Fraternity and reconnect with the bonds that have shaped their life since Initiation while also focusing on how the Fraternity has needed to evolve to a new landscape and a new generation within campus life.
Sigma Chi – and Greek-letter life everywhere – has been under attack in recent years from egregious overreaching by third-parties with attempts to control or limit the manner in which our Fraternity conducts its affairs. Work is underway to stop this intrusive behavior and, most importantly, prevent it from ever happening again — but we need your support to protect and preserve the fraternal experience once and for all
Order of Constantine Sig Bob Wilson, FORT HAYS 1981, was elected as Sigma Chi’s 73rd Grand Consul in June 2023. Since his graduation in 1981, Wilson has remained involved in the Fraternity by volunteering at numerous leadership training workshops, has had several mentors and embodies the congenial spirit that the office of the Grand Consul represents. .
