My Testimonial

Receiving this scholarship represents more than just financial aid to me; it's a confirmation that I have remained true to the values and obligations of the fraternity. This scholarship will significantly reduce my financial stress, allowing me to focus more intently on my studies and personal development in the years to come.

Our core values of friendship, justice, and learning have taught me the importance of building strong relationships, not only with friends but with everyone I encounter in life. These values have been a guiding force, shaping my interactions and personal growth.

I am profoundly grateful to every alumnus and everyone who made this scholarship possible. Your generosity is not just a financial contribution; it's an investment in the future of Sigma Chi members like me and those who will follow. Your support is invaluable, and I hope to honor this gift by upholding the fraternity's values in all my endeavors.

This testimonial is my way of expressing gratitude to all my brothers who have supported me through thick and thin, and to the scholars who generously assist the youth with their educational pursuits. Your financial support and guidance are more than just aid; they are the pillars upon which young minds like mine can build a successful future.

In addition, it's a huge honor for me to be the first recipient of the Ethan Chapin Scholarship. This means the world to me, not just because he's a brother in the fraternity, but because he's my actual brother, Ethan. What's most important to me now is keeping his legacy alive, especially here at the Gamma Eta Chapter. I want to make sure this scholarship does just that, helping to keep his spirit and memory a big part of everything I do.
