Are you new to San Diego and seek more Sigma Chi connections, as well as a way to get involved with the Fraternity? The Alumni Ambassador volunteer position will present you with an opportunity to meet area brothers who are from different schools and chapters and are of different temperaments, talents and convictions. As you meet other brothers who are looking to re-engage within Sigma Chi, friendships will be an easy and natural progression.

What's more, the Alumni Ambassador program offers a groundbreaking opportunity to gain visibility and build credibility among Sigs in your geographic region. This is one of the countless number of opportunities that Sigma Chi presents to its alumni beyond graduation. Ambassadors will fill a crucial role in Sigma Chi's initiative to re-engage more than 175,000 alumni within the Fraternity by helping to create new alumni associations, expanding existing alumni chapters, providing advice and counsel to undergraduate chapters and officers, and encouraging brothers to become Life Loyal Sigs. Apply today to become an Alumni Ambassador to take the next step in your lifelong journey as a Sigma Chi.

Ideal Ambassador candidates will be self-motivated, organized, have excellent communication skills, be comfortable cold-calling brothers, computer literate and able to commit to a two-year Ambassador term. Successful applicants must be available for expense-paid training from July 29-31 at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Training will be held in conjunction with the 2010 Balfour Leadership Training Workshop.

• Application Deadline: June 1
• Successful Applicants Notified: July 1
• Alumni Ambassador Training: July 29-31

Alumni Ambassadors operate under the supervision of the Grand Praetor; are supported by the Headquarters staff; and are volunteers who may receive up to $500 in annual travel support funds.

The Sigma Chi Historical Initiative Needs Your Help

Help to put past issues of The Magazine of Sigma Chi online

We need your help to make the entire run of past issues of The Magazine of Sigma Chi available to members via a searchable, online tool similar to a LexisNexis® database of printed materials.

After more than a year, a raw scan of all pages within 20th-century editions of The Magazine is complete. Now volunteers are needed to inspect a year's worth of Magazine scans, validate that all portions of the pages were scanned properly and completely, and to repair the scans when necessary. You will need to have Photoshop or similar photo software installed on your computer so that you may repair scans.

In addition, we are also looking for volunteers to help index issues of The Magazine. Indexers will be asked to: make a list of all article titles in an issue of the publication, noting the article's page length; summarize the article in one or two paragraphs; make additional lists for all mentions of events, brothers and images within an issue; and compare the printed Magazine text to an accompanying Optical Character Recognition (OCR) version of the text.

You are welcome to do both scan validation and indexing —in fact this is encouraged. To volunteer, or if you have additional questions, please contact Noah Phelps, Headquarters archivist, at (847) 869-3655 ext. 220 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
