CHAPTER NEWS
The 2018-2019 Intramural Season began on a high note this season as the brothers of Sigma Chi bought home the first championship of the year in Softball against ZBT. With incredible underhand pitching from brother Tony Yambor who secured a 15-0 shutout and calculative base running from everyone who hit, our opponents had no chance.
Looking forward to securing the IM Sweep with football right around the corner.
Keep the good work up gentlemen!
In August of 2018, the Beta Eta chapter received its 7th straight Blue Peterson Significant Chapter Award at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop. This award was issued by the general fraternity and recognizes our chapter on the international level. It truly goes to show the standard of excellence the brothers at Case Western strive to maintain annually.
Congrats to our IM basketball team, as the title of champion returns once again to the house of Sigma Chi. An intense championship game with Zeta Beta Tau, resulting in our 37-36 win. Definitely wouldn't have been possible without the mental support from brothers who came to cheer on. Thanks for the spectacular season boys!
We were honored to be a part of past Grand Consul and CWRU Alumni Dennis Santoli's Distinguished Alumni Award Ceremony for the College of Arts & Sciences. Attached are some pictures from the event.
Pictured L to R: David Santoli, Mike Santoli, Dennis Santoli, Will Stark, Chris Shorter, Sanay Mohile, Nathan Glasser and Terry Chapin. Sitting below Chris, we were honored to have our chapter sweetheart, Mary Katherine Barna in attendance.
At Sigma Chi's Balfour Leadership Training Workshop we were awarded with our 6th consecutive J. Dwight Peterson Significant Chapter Award. This award recognizes our chapter as a chapter of excellence within the General Fraternity. This is a great honor for our members and alumni, as we continue to show our consistency for excellence and success.
In addition to the current brothers, we were honored to be pictured with Ethan Pickering, last years International Balfour Award winner, Tommy Geddings, the newly elected Grand Consul and Rich Hronek, a current Grand Trustee.
Will Stark, Paul Emanuele, Kyle Macdonald, Matty Baratz and Chris Shorter working hard at Sigma Chi's Balfour Leadership Training Workshop to further improve our chapter. We had the opportunity to spend some time with Sigma Chi's International Sweetheart Allisen Hagemeyer and Beta Eta Alum and International Balfour Recipient Ethan Pickering to work on implementing new ideas into our Sweetheart program.
Brother Stark and Emanuele had the opportunity to meet Sigma Chi Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker. If you're planning a trip to DC you may want to reach out to them, as they are more than happy to meet other Sigs.

The Sigma Chi Clarion installation was a success. The initiation was only 2 weeks after our own so sleep deprived but excited, we made it out and supported the Clarion Chapter. In the picture above we met some of the Grand Executives, including the current Grand Consul Mike Ursillo. Pretty cool experience! If you wish to hear more reach out to us or stop by our last chapter this Sunday!
