A
Father's Legacy for His Children
As a father, Bob Gingras (Bowling Green)
is determined to leave behind something
of value for his children, and as a brother,
that same desire extends to Sigma Nu.
A former traveling consultant and current
member of the High Council, Bob has made
it his mission to not only provide for
his family but to do so in a way that
teaches his children about the value of
money and giving back. |
|
To hear him talk about the process and motive
behind what he's teaching his two boys, Trevor
(16) and Hunter (9), it's clear that he's committed
to providing lessons that will last a lifetime.
Most importantly he teaches them about "proportionate
living and proportionate giving." He has
explained to his boys that no matter how much
they make, it will never feel like enough. Therefore,
he's taught them the importance of planning for
the future and budgeting for today. He shows them
how he divides every pay check and puts a percentage
in savings, a percentage in retirement, a percentage
towards charitable giving and a percentage towards
everything else. He even explains how much the
family pays in taxes so that they will understand
those implications as well.

College
of Chapters Trains Undergraduates
to Live as Men of Honor
The College of Chapters is Sigma
Nu Fraternity's biennial leadership
development conference. It is an intense,
interactive program for our undergraduate
members that focuses on leadership,
teambuilding, and the core principles
of Sigma Nu. At College of Chapters,
students learn more about themselves,
connect with brothers from across the
country, find solutions to their challenges,
discover ideas that can help take their
chapter to the next level, and learn
skills that can help them succeed both

Teambuilding
at College of Chapters |
|
now
and after graduation.
Held on the campus of Washington & Lee University,
nearly 300 undergraduates and more than 50 alumni
and friends of Sigma Nu (serving as guest facilitators)
gathered for this year's College of Chapters
from June 15-19, 2005. Students were divided
into 30 small "chapter groups" of
8-10 men. They participated in both large and
small-group sessions, returning to their "chapter
groups" in the evenings to process the
events of the day and determine ways to take
what they've learned home with them.
The conference opened with a keynote address
by Dr. John A White (University of Missouri-Rolla
& University of Arkansas), Chancellor of
the University of Arkansas. In his address entitled
"Are Greeks An Endangered Species"
he expressed to participants that the future
of the Greek System depends upon them and those
who follow. He encouraged them in the importance
of living by the tenets of our order and the
values of our creed, and he shared that those
who "excel with honor" demonstrate
the true value of the Greek System. . . both
today and in the future.
