Horizons is Sigma Chi’s premier leadership development program. Taking place each summer in Snowbird, Utah, the program seeks to create values-based leaders that are changing the world.

Mission 365 is Sigma Chi’s innovative recruitment program designed to enhance the quality and quantity of the Fraternity’s membership. Our facilitators seek to inspire values-based relationships and train brothers to recruit new members based upon The Jordan Standard. The retreat is not a lecture, but rather an experiential learning process aimed at engaging a chapter’s membership.
