The Spirit of Sigma Chi states: "Men of different temperaments, talents and convictions sharing a common belief in an ideal." The Founders conceived this idea to show that no matter who you are, where you come from, or what you look like, you can find a common goal to lead you, and that can be the most important motivating factor in your life. No one is the same. People's beliefs are different, depending upon how they were brought up; men of Sigma Chi come from many walks of life, but they are striving for one goal, the White Cross. It just shows how a fraternity can bring brotherhood together, and while doing so, try to reach an ultimate goal. No matter what--in the end, we are one, because we all are trying to find that certain magic that is missing in our lives."
