My Testimonial

It is so amazing to continue to have the support of Sigma Chi nine years after my initiation. Giving up my military career to pursue medicine was the most difficult decision I've ever had to make, so having any kind of help and support makes a difference. Sigma Chi has always had a place in every step of adulthood and has been the foundation of how I carry myself, how I treat others, and continue to pursue my goals, despite the hurdles I have, and will have to overcome. Without Sigma Chi, I would definitely have a massive piece of myself missing. Scholarships like the military service scholarship not only shows another aspect of the fraternity's commitment to help brothers succeed, but the extended commitment to show support and highlight brothers who have chosen to serve their country. Serving my country as an infantry Marine was one of the greatest honors I will ever have. It has given me many opportunities, but also required many heavy sacrifices in my life. Receiving this scholarship is another reason why it was all worth it.
