Upsilon Upsilon 2007-2008 Slogan: "Here and Now...": Taking advantage of the opportunities we have as college men and members of Sigma Chi to better ourselves and the communities in which we are a part of.
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...
