Central Missouri ΣΧ Alumni

Annual dues for the Alumni Chapter are still only $20, and are still voluntary. That being said, if you have not paid your 2024 dues, we ask that you please do so. The Chapter itself must pay its annual dues ( $300 ) to Sigma Chi in order to maintain it’s status as a Chapter, and that will come due in March.

At each meeting most of the discussion revolved around the return of Sigma Chi at Westminster and the University of Missouri. Both associate chapters are progressing well with 7 current pledge members at Sigma Chi Tau with 25 listed on the directory and 37 pledge members listed at Sigma Chi Delta. At the October 11 meeting Sigma Chi Delta Quaester Drew Hahs and Philanthropy Chairman David Crow gave reports of events at the University of Missouri. They are working with the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority raising money for The American Cancer Society/ Breast Cancer Awareness and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Their fundraising events were on Oct 5, Oct 12, and Oct 26.
