Lending a Hand

Sigma Pi is very concerned with the activities and proceedings of the WPI community. Take a look at a few of our brothers out of dozens who assisted with freshman move-in day in August 2009. We all had a blast helping the new class move into the dorms!

In the same spirit, we look forward to our ACE project in the coming year. ACE or Altruistic Campus Experience is an annual effort by all Sigma Pi chapters. According to the I Believe manual, "it is the first international service project devoted to benefiting the faculty, administration, or host institution of the campus where individual chapters are located."

Also from I Believe:

"ACE is designed to help encourage our chapter members to develop pride and respect for their alma mater, while giving something back to the Fraternity's host institution. Each chapter is encouraged to conduct a service event that is specifically designed to benefit their campus. By becoming directly involved with our universities we hope to not only develop our members into better students, we also want to produce loyal alumni who will continue to give back to their alma mater long after each of them has graduated."

The ACE project is typically conducted in the spring every year. Keep your eyes open for us as the time draws closer!

Getting Involved

One of the core tenants of our Fraternity is that we should "participate in worthy college activities." After all, one of the slogans of Sigma Pi is "A New Generation of Leaders." To pursue this goal and realize this tagline, brothers of Sigma Pi involve themselves with clubs and organizations aligned with their interests. Furthermore, they become leaders in their organizations and take on responsibilities to the benefit of the community. Below is a complete table of activities that brothers are currently involved in.

Spreading Awareness

On Friday, August 4, 2006 the Grand chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity Adopted the SAM Spady Foundation as the International Philanthropy of Sigma Pi Fraternity.

The Mission of the SAM Spady Foundation is to educate all parents and students on the dangers of alcohol, specifically high-risk consumption, and the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning. The foundation honors the memory of Samantha Spady, a 19-year old student at Colorado State University, who died of alcohol poisoning on September 5, 2004.

To help spread awareness of the SAM Spady Foundation and its mission, Sigma Pi Fraternity has provided our chapter with a supply of wallet-sized "Sam Spady" cards. These cards bear our name and contain useful information for recognizing possible symptoms of alcohol poisoning. The chapter pursues opportunities to distribute the cards in support of the Foundation.
