Consul Comments: We had a great time at the retreat and had over 80% attendance from the chapter. We all came away from the retreat as a more united and cohesive group of men with a similar vision for where we all want the chapter to head. It was a time for bonding, a time for competetion, a time for remembering what it means to be a Sigma Chi, and a time of growth. Here and Now...
