The Jordan Standard
The confidence
of the Founders of Sigma Chi was based upon a belief that the principles which
they professed and the ideal of the Fraternity which they sought were but
imperfectly realized in the organizations by which they were surrounded. The
standard with which the Fraternity started was declared by Isaac M. Jordan to
be that of admitting no man to membership in Sigma Chi who is not believed to
be:
A Man of Good Character
A Student of Fair Ability
With Ambitious Purposes
A
Congenial Disposition Possessed of Good Morals
Having a
High Sense of honor
And
A Deep
Sense of Personal Responsibility
