The Spirit of Sigma Chi

"The Spirit" is a concept that comes straight from the Founders' unfortunate experiance in Delta Kappa Epsilon, which the founders saw as a group focused on conformity for political gain. The founders wanted a spirit of nonconformity in Sigma Chi. Though "The Spirit" calls for men who are inherently "different", it is expected that the members, in their differences, remain responsible, honorable, gentlemanly, friendly, -- indeed all those characteristics listed in "The Jordan Standard."
