  • From the Desk of the President
    Winter/Spring 2021 FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT Brothers: As we continue to try to live our lives as normally as possible under pandemic conditions, the members of the Sigma Chi Club of Pittsburgh continue to hope and pray for health & safety of all of our brothers, their families, and surrounding support network. As you will see in this newsletter, COVID-19 has directly affected our board of directors; I am sure that many of you have loved ones and close friends similarly affected. Let us hope that there is some light at the end of the tunnel, and that the continuing colossal efforts of the medical community, as well as the day-to-day efforts each of us contribute as a society, bring an end to this pandemic in the near future. The board of directors of the Sigma Chi Club of Pittsburgh continues to meet on a monthly basis - unfortunately via Zoom instead of face to face, but it is better than nothing, and it has allowed us to continue our efforts towards maintaining a strong Beta Theta chapter. Online meetings have some benefits as well - anyone can attend, even if they are far away from Pittsburgh. If you have interest in participating in one of these meetings, or even just listening in & catching up, please let 2021 Sigma Chi Club of Pittsburgh - me know & we can forward a link to you. We are ALL the Sigma Chi Board of Directors (term expiry year) Club of Pittsburgh, not just the board members. President - Robert Boucher (2021) Vice-President - Bill Chrisner (2021) As we enter 2021, we are now only a year & a half away from being able Secretary - Terry Byrne (2023) to re-introduce Sigma Chi to the University of Pittsburgh, via Treasurer - Jonathan Dane (2022) recolonization.
