Spring 2025 - Fall 2025

​

spring 25'

"In Fall 2020, the Beta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Chi embarked on a tenuous journey toward returning our charter to the University of Tennessee. New officers had been selected and all had a hand in finalizing the chartering process, a testament to the new founding fathers of Beta Sigma’s leadership through the disruption caused by COVID-19. 

Thanks to these new officers, including President Corbin Smith and Vice President Trey Ridenour, and under the guidance of Beta Sigma’s great alumni network, our chapter officially returned to their house at 1816 Fraternity Park Dr in the Fall of 2021." 

​

As we look back years later, we appreciate the tremendous support and time that countless individuals committed to our chapter. As we continue to grow and build on the foundation that these men built during the rechartering of Beta Sigma, we strive to uphold the same brotherhood that allow us to operate today.

Rush: Spring 2025

Rush this spring was overwhelmingly successful. As you know, fewer PNMs are rushing each spring than in the fall. Overall, we had about 25 PNMs that were interested in joining our CHAPTER. Under the Leadership of Rush ChairmEn HUDSON HOFFECKER AND OWEN ACUFF, we extended 12 bids with a 83% acceptance rate. The Pledge class consists of 12 men who begin the Preparation for Brotherhood process under Magister joey bonifacio. These men will be a great addition to the chapter and bring our numbers up from 261 to 272 Members.

Special Thanks:

Our chapter would like to give a huge thanks to our Chapter Advisor, Jason DeBord. He has not only taught us how to be better leaders, but also how to create a genuine buy-in from the entirety of the chapter. He has truly helped us move toward a future that this fraternity never knew it could reach. We are extremely grateful for all that he does!
