For alumni day we drove out to Brooklyn to visit and pay our respects at William Lewis Lockwoods grave. On the ride over I got a chance to talk to some of the alumni as ask them question about how Sigma Chi affected their lives. I was impressed by the cemetery and how elaborate most of the graves were. Finding his grave was a little tough especially because my pledge brother Mitch can't read a map if his life depended on it. All in all it was a great experience.

Road Trip Reflection
Reflection
While I road trip, i was amazed that the brothers from outside the chapter. They barely even knew who we where, yet they had no problem letting us into their house and allowing us to sleep there. We hung out with them and acted if they had known us since for us for years. We have heard that this is a brotherhood, but you do not really know what that means until you have actually gone to out of chapter houses. Before, when we only saw they brothers hanging out with their in chapter brothers, it just seem to me that they were only really good friends. Then while on road trip, it was the first time that I actually realized that this truly is a brotherhood. Also, you could tell that Greek life was very important at UPenn. Their house was huge and right in the middle of downtown Philly. They ate together which showed that they enjoyed being around each other all the time. I am disappointed that I did not get to go to Penn state because I am sure that would have been as equally as impressive as UPenn.

Road Trip Reflection
Reflection
During Spring Break, some Brothers and some new members went around P.A. to check out some different chapter houses. This was a very fun experience. Our first stop was UPenn. UPenn was pretty amazing. Their house was historic and the Brothers were really cool. It was my first time seeing UPenn, so it was a different experience for me. The best part was being able to see how the chapter was different from us, but still the same. It was possible to see the common bond, of a Sig in any chapter. Our next stop was Penn State; all I would like to say about that, WOW! Their chapter house was quite impressive. The Greek Organizations at Penn State was impressive in its own self. At Rutgers, Greek Life is taken for granted, which is a big disappointment, but at Penn State and UPenn, it is a very important community. The brothers at Penn State were really awesome. It was here where I realized each chapter has its own traditions that make them stand out from the other Sigma Chi Chapters. I like this a lot, every Chapter is special in their different way. Another thing that stood out to me is how their alumni are very active. During our stay, we ran into an alumnus, which shows the dedication. I can only hope one day that I am the one who is able to help future Sigma Chi members, as the alumni who have helped us. Road trip was fun, and hopefully I will be able to do it again.

Thieves Caught Stealing from a Sigma Chi Chapter House
Editor's Note: Risk Management is a major concern in our Fraternity and it includes protecting the Chapter House from vandals and thieves. This article shows how it is important to make sure that the Chapter House is secure and safe from unwanted outsiders.
