The Jordan Standard

The confidence of the Founders of Sigma Chi was based upon
a belief that the principles which they professed and the ideal
of the Fraternity which they sought were but imperfectly
realized in the organizations by which they were surrounded.

The standard with which the fraternity started was declared
by Isaac M. Jordan to be that of admitting no man to
membership in Sigma Chi who is not believed to be:~

A Man of Good Character…….
A Student of Fair Ability…….
With Ambitious Purposes…….
A Congenial Disposition…….
Possessed of Good Morals…….
Having a High Sense of Honor and
A Deep Sense of Personal Responsibility.
