th
anniversary Recap
Beta Delta Chapter celebrated its 100thanniversary in grand style October 13-15, 2006 in Missoula. Here are someof the many comments received:I was initiated in February 1943 justbefore leaving for war time assignment.I returned Fall 1945 with eight otherSigs to reopen the House. TheUniversity used it for the V-12program and it was a mess. The nine of us put in a lot of work getting ready forthe anticipated return of the Veterans.By January 1946, 72 Sigma ChiBrothers and pledges returned to UM.We did our best to accommodate themby opening up "Siberia" on the thirdfloor. There was no heat, no light,plank floors and no beds. We wereable to secure two dozen Army cotsfrom Fort Missoula. We housed 62men, hired a cook, and patched up thestove and refrigeration. We had to runthe dining room in two shifts for allmeals. Everyone pitched in to take careof each other.A special thanks to all of you for thespectacular 100th AnniversaryCelebration! We realize thepreparation, planning and work to stagean event for 500+ people and youBrothers did a fantastic job. I had thepleasure of meeting those from my eraof 1939 to 1954.I was on a "spiritual high" at the ritualevent at the University Theater and wasextremely moved by the "Circle of Friendship" which represented a spanof 69 years starting with John Harrison.This was the highlight of my SigmaChi career!

Kathy and I had a GREAT time andsaw many of the 60s era Bros that wenever expected to see. Sigma Chi trulyis a bond that doesn’t change andcontinues to be one of the specialexperiences in my life. I was especiallyimpressed with the renovation at 1110Gerald. I look forward to contributingto the next phase of improvement.

Beta Delta house corporation proudlylaunched the $300,000
Second 100Years Fundraiser
at the 100
th
Anniversary Celebration in Missoulaon October 14, 2006. This fundraiseraddresses two important issues to keepSigma Chi viable at the University of Montana:
More Bedrooms.
Recently, the FireMarshall prohibited the use of threebedrooms that had been in use fordecades (FUBAR, Classroom and SlantShack). Those bedrooms must bereplaced to maintain occupancy goalsand to compete with other housingalternatives.Montana’s leading historical architect,Jim McDonald of A&E Architects, washired to draw a plan for the garage thatincludes five bedrooms, two willreplace Back Shack and Mole Holeplus three more to replace those we canno longer use. The goal is to build andoccupy this new space by Fall 2007.

Scholarship Endowment.
Threeyears ago, the Beta Delta housecorporation announced a $1,000,000scholarship endowment and seeded itwith $150,000 formerly banked withthe Sigma Chi Foundation (a subsidiaryof Sigma Chi International). Thescholarship endowment is currentlymanaged by the University of MontanaExcellence Fund as part of a strategicplan to partner with the University.The goal of the Second 100 YearsFundraiser is to add $250,000 more tothis endowment and produce up to$30,000 a year in scholarships for BetaDelta brothers. We believe thisstrategy will attract focused and matureleadership to the chapter.
