Orchid Ball

The 2007 Sigma Pi Orchid Ball took place on February 10th at the lodge at Port Arrowhead at the Lake of the Ozarks. Awards presented at the Ball included Sweetheart: Carlie Harper, Alumni of the Year: Kent Theoni, Active of the Year: Daniel Vosbrink, and Pledge of the Year: Alex Vitale.

Great Pumpkin

Every year young trick-or-treaters of Rolla are welcomed by an unusual face. As a tradition at Sigma Pi, each year an unusually large pumpkin is obtained, carved, and outfitted with a public address system which is used to greet and tell jokes to young ghouls and goblins. This year, the 47th anniversary of the tradition, was no different, with children and parents enjoying the pumpkin, candy, and other refreshments. We hope to see them all again next year.

Outhouse Burning

Years back a rebellion happened on campus against a policy long forgotten now. An outhouse was burned on the chancellors front lawn to show how the students felt about the policy. Today, things have changed, and we continue this tradition in peace at a campus designated area. We built a full size outhouse this year, and watched it burn while enjoying some hot cocoa and s’mores,

Homecoming

MS&T Homecoming at Sigma Pi is always well anticipated each year. Homecoming generally is a good time for alumni to come back, visit, and enjoy memories. The brothers can be found at the MS&T football or rugby games, watching the homecoming parade, or just relaxing with some old friends. No matter what we are doing, it is certain we will be having a wonderful time.

Greek Week

Every year, MS&T’s Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council sponsor an event of games and activities for MS&T greeks to compete. Two weekends of track and field events, along with a week of games, contests, and service projects comprise this much anticipated spectacle. This year, we ended up in 2^nd out of 21 when all was said and done.

ACE Project

Sigma Pi has a long standing philanthropy tradition which is upheld nationwide each year by chapters individually. UMR happily accepted our proposal this year, which was to go through the weight training rooms at the Multipurpose center and give them a good cleaning. We hope to continue helping out our campus in the years to come.
