Pick your weekend

Come for the whole weekend. Meet up with your pledge class on Thursday, spend Friday on a bus tour of Montreal that doubles as a pub crawl, stand in the chapter house again, then dress up for the Saturday centennial gala at Le Belvédère. Spouses and partners are welcome at everything. Prefer to come for the gala only? That works too. Early bird tickets are limited, and the price goes up when they are gone. Every dollar beyond the cost of the weekend goes to the chapter house at 3581 University.

The Gamma Lambda
challenge coin

We struck 100 coins for the centennial. Every dollar goes to the Gamma Lambda centennial fund and the renovation of the chapter house at 3581 University. The coin features the Sigma Chi crest on one side and the chapter house on the other.

The rules

Get caught without your coin and you are buying the round. Future series will be numbered, and a lower number beats a higher one. The founding series has no number, which means it beats everything that comes after. Always.

Once these sell out, future coins will carry a number. The founding series never will. That distinction does not expire.

All proceeds to the Gamma Lambda centennial fund. Ships to your door.
