"One, and the main, aim and object of Sigma Chi has been, and is, to develop and train broad minded men who can recognize the wholeness of things and who are not bound to a contracted, eight by ten notion of exclusiveness. There is an absolute necessity for such men."

--Founder Benjamin Piatt Runkle

I BELIEVE in fairness, decency and good manners..........

I will endeavor to retain the spirit of youth................

I will try to make my college, the SIGMA CHI FRATERNITY, and my own chapter more honored by all men and women and more beloved and honestly respected by our own brothers.......

I say these words in all sincerity, That SIGMA CHI has given me favor and distinction, that the bond of our fellowship is reciprocal, that I will endeavor to so build myself and so conduct myself that............

I will ever be a credit to our Fraternity.

-George Ade
