If you change nothing, nothing will change

Lets see, a little bit about me, I am currently a second year Management Engineering Student, love to play hockey. This is my first active term and cannot wait to see how this summer unfolds. Sigma Chi has been amazing experience so far. If I had to repeat my university career again, the only difference I would have made would be to to have joined sooner. Over my past term here I've met some amazing brothers and look forward to the new recruits we will obtain over the years.

Wynton Rodrigues

Life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better. —Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am going into my third year of Biology in the fall, with a specialization in Biotechnology. I love everything to do with music: playing guitar, listening to my ipod, singing in A Capella, and going to concerts. I also like to work out and practice Muay Thai in my spare time. I joined Sigma Chi because I was looking for a true brotherhood experience and a sense of family when away from home. After rushing Sigma Chi, I immediately clicked with many of the brothers. Four months later, I can definitely say that I found my brotherhood and my university experience and life have changed for the better. This is only just the start, 2 years left to go and I can't wait to see what's in store.

Charlie Soutthiphanh

Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity. —Albert Einstein

I love music with soul and respect anyone with any type of musical/artful ability whose not afraid to show it! I will be entering my fourth year as a Biomedical Sciences student in the fall. I rushed Sigma Chi in my first year and WHAT an adventure have I been on ever since. Joining Sigma Chi has allowed me to grow as a person, to build life long friendships, and to be part of the greatest Brotherhood in the world.

Aaron Leung

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. —William Shakespeare

As a 3rd year Electrical Engineering student at Waterloo, I can honestly say that grander men I have not found than those at our Theta Psi chapter of Sigma Chi. Men who strive for excellence in every endeavor; Men who strive for enlightenment in daily life; Men who strive to endow the world with the best they have to offer. I have no doubt that they will change the world, for they have already changed mine.

Robby Ramsarran

Consul (president)

Take my crown to the grave, I'm an underground king. —Drake

Third year Arts and Business Co-op student majoring in English Rhetoric and Professional Writing with a minor in Economics. I love Fashion, Music, Commerce, and am probably the biggest Britney Spears fan you will ever meet. Sigma Chi has been THE most rewarding experience of my undergraduate career thus far, and it has given me the opportunity to build strong leadership skills, get involved in the community, party hard, and build amazing life long friendships.

Tony Bui

Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me. —Kanye West

Kanye West once said, "for me, giving up's way harder than trying". Seeing as he is the voice of a generation, this man can speak no false words. These are words that I personally live by because at the end of the day, we all want to be a little more like 'Ye.

If Kanye West were to rush, I have no doubt in my mind that he would rush Sigma Chi. Rushing Sigma Chi, you walk in a boy, and you leave a man. The ideals, virtues, values, and support that I get from Sigma Chi, I can honestly say I don't find it elsewhere. Sigma Chi is without a doubt, one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences of my life. It has given me a group of gentlemen I would not call my friends, but my family.

The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work —Vince Lombardi

As a first year Computer Engineering student, I represent the spirit of youth here. I joined Sigma Chi just two terms ago and it has been nothing short of amazing. The strong sense of brotherhood is a marvel on its own. In only one active term, I have already gotten so much out of it and I look forward to spending the next 4 years here. But Sigma Chi isn't the only thing I love! In my spare time, I love playing/watching sports, learning about anything tech related, hitting the gym for a workout and catching up on my favourite TV shows.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death. —Leonardo Da Vinci

Well lads, I just can't get enough of Arsenal FC and Pink Floyd. If ye like either of them, we'll get along quite well! I'm in Earth Sciences and hope to be near volcanoes after I graduate but I would settle for glaciers no doubt about it. I'm Philanthropy Chairman at Theta Psi this term and I will be making sure that the brothers become even more involved in the community. I only got initiated into Sigma Chi last summer but I've had a smashing time and reckon ye could as well!

You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick to the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. —Walter Elias

I'm currently finishing up my last term here at Waterloo in the Arts & Business program, Psychology major. I'm a huge fan of music, loose leaf tea, tomfoolery, intimate conversations, and of course all things Disney. Next September I'll be going down to Orlando to work at the Walt Disney World Resort as a cultural representative to Canada. I'm serving as the Recruitment Chairman for this term, and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Make the most out of your undergraduate career -- not joining Sigma Chi sooner is one of my biggest regrets. Don't let that be something we have in common!

Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. —Theodore Roosevelt

I am an entrepreneur and Biochemist. Currently I am working at Feedband, a VeloCity startup in Waterloo. I love Sigma Chi because of our strong brotherhood and mentorship opportunities. Sigma Chi is great for first year or younger students who wants to make those useful connections and get proper mentorship from some of the finest students on campus. I also love meeting people so if you ever see me anywhere please come up and start a chat. I would love to learn something from you and hopefully you will learn something from me as well.

Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.

Love, Loss, and Longing

I'm in my third year of Environment and Business, and I'm taking a legal studies option. I have a great deal of interest in most anything, some favourites include: hockey, poetry, the environment, and politics. I believe there are times to be serious, and times to have fun; most of the time it's time to have fun ;)

Sigma Chi is an incredible organization that has helped me grow in maturity, learn valuable life and career oriented skills, while fostering a social environment that I've never experienced anywhere else. It has been the best decision I've made by far, and that I'm certain of.

Paul Vanderzwet

Magister (pledge educator)

When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful. —Eric Thomas

I'm an upper year Accounting and Finance student. My favourite hobbies are strength training, volleyball, and soccer. I first joined Sigma Chi to meet new people but found it to be much more than that. I genuinely believe that joining Sigma Chi was one of the best decisions I've made in my time at university.

Alex Wytiahlowsky

Backwards understood be only can but, forwards lived must life be.

I hold both my private and glider pilots licences, enjoy canoeing, rock climbing, squash and good music. Currently in my 4th year of geology and hope to find gold for a living. Joining Sigma Chi is the best decision you can make during your undergraduate career.

Chapter Sweetheart

Brotip#107: Be the rock your bros can lean on and they'll do the same. No one is strong all the time, but together you'll get through. —brotips.com

I've known the brothers since my first year, first term and have grown to cherish the men of this fraternity with my whole heart. This chapter has been the most incredible and diverse group of men I've had the privilege of knowing. Each brother adds a little something to the chapter so it's not hard to find a place for a new addition!

I'm also currently the President of the Zeta Omega chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Joining greek life has been the best decision I've made in life thus far. The opportunities for self-growth, networking, life-long friendships, leadership and academic success, that being affiliated with a greek organization provides has been unmatched by anything else I've been involved in. I love to: snowboard, go to the beach, laugh, meet new people and go on adventures :) Taylor Swift is my homegirl. Drop one of her lyrics and you've paved a way to my heart <3 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns!

P.S. - Absolutely no one whips their hair better than I do. NO ONE. (I'm looking at you, David Bui.)

I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul —William Ernest Henley (Invictus)

In April I finished my last term of my Political Science and Business degree - with minor forays into various languages, including French and Portuguese - and I'll be graduating in June. I'm a bit of a tech junkie and sports fanatic, and I love to debate anything.

I'm also pretty active outside of classes. In the past I've been involved as a Federation Orientation Committee member, served on the Board of the Arts Endowment Fund, filled a couple of different roles for the Arts Student Union, and been Sigma Chi's Athletics Chair; this past year I was the Managing Editor at Imprint - for which I'm continuing to manage the re-development of their website - and the Risk Manager for Sigma Chi.

Feel free to introduce yourself if you see me anywhere on campus - it might seem like I'm in a rush, but I always enjoy meeting new people!

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well. —Alexander the Great

"The Pledge Hammer"

Studying History and English, going into my 2A term in the fall. On my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, camping, biking, paintballing, and playing video games. Aside from that I also love to volunteer whenever I can. I joined Sigma Chi this past winter term and have absolutely only positive things to say about our Theta Psi chapter and my fellow brothers. I have learned a great amount about myself and gained valuable life skills from my pledgeship, not to mention the relationships I developed with my pledge bros (Beta Upsilon!) and with the other brothers!

Athletics Chair, Sweeheart Liason

Knowledge is the ultimate power. —Sir Francis Bacon

This term I am training for the Run for Huntington Disease in Toronto on June 24th, 2012. My goal is to raise $300 over my eight weeks of training, and I have already been fortunate enough to receive some donations from friends and family. This is my first spring term both in school and being active in Theta Psi. I am really excited for the whole pledge process to begin because I feel as though every time I learn something valuable.

Michael Vecchio

Annotator (secretary and PR), Brotherhood Meal Chair

I have great faith in fools... My friends call it self confidence. —Edgar Allan Poe

I am a 3A computer engineering student. I love to play video games as well as cook. I also enjoy playing baseball, mountain biking and programming. Joining Sigma Chi has been one of the greatest decisions of my life, the friendships I have made and the experiences I have gained will last a lifetime. It has been a journey that I would never regret and recommend every eligible young man to embark on.

Niall Wingham

Alumnus

Do not follow where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. —Ralph Waldo Emerson

I recently graduated from Computer Science and will soon be starting work in New York. As an undergraduate, I travelled to Europe and the Middle East on exchange, started several clubs (including the UW chapter of Students Offering Support), and was active in student government.

But Sigma Chi was always the most fun, and the most rewarding. I was both Magister and Recruitment Chair, and I am now looking forward to spoiling the chapter as an alumnus.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. —Dr. Suess (The Lorax)

I will be entering my second year of International Development Studies in the fall and have a passion for enacting change within the community, country and around the world. Through my first year of university I have learned quite a bit through my lectures, but these classes hardly compare to the life lessons and experiences I have gained through by experience with Sigma Chi. The process of rushing and pledging can be challenging, but it was by far the best choice I made in first year. If brotherhood, self-reflection/improvement, leadership, philanthropy, life-long learning and an awesome social atmosphere are up your alley come to a rush event and find out what Sigma Chi � Theta Psi is all about.

Jason Lo

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. —Oscar Levant

The life lessons I have learned among my brothers are irreplaceable. They have pushed me far beyond the bounds of the AFM degree I will soon hold. While I can not say that I would not be the same man if I did not join Sigma Chi, I can without a doubt, declare that Sigma Chi has helped make me the man I am today. Surround yourself with great men, and you will, without realizing it, become great yourself. To quote Machiavelli, act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow so great a height, but to be able with aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach. Be clever. Aim high. Join Sigma Chi.

David Cancio

Brotherhood Chair, Historian

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. —William Shakespeare

I am in the Honours Arts program here in Waterloo and majoring in English to go into the English Rhetoric and Professional Writing. Currently part of the UW Hip-Hop team and I'm also planning on joining intramural teams for dodgeball and/or volleyball. Sigma Chi has given me the strength to strive to always achieve better. I have had so many tough struggles in my life and Sigma Chi has given me that motivation I need to overcome my adversities and become a greater man. Thanks to Sigma Chi, I have brothers I know will help me each time I fall, and be there for me in my times of struggle.

David Bui

Social Chair, Sweetheart Ball Chair

Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. —Rent

If you could describe David Bui in one word, you couldn't, but fabulous is pretty close. Having the ability to drop a Nicki verse at any point in time, his deliciousness has taken him far in life, almost to a BA in Drama and minor in HR. Rockin' some large double d assets, he can tell you everything about Flavor of Love, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and its equally popular spinoff, Angel. He likes volleyball, dutty whining, lip chap, singing techno, keeping it real, killing zombies, and whipping his hair back and forth.

Dominic Aquilina

Risk Manager, Kustos (protector of the ritual), Webmaster

Just close your eyes, but keep your mind wide open. —Leslie Burke (Bridge to Terabithia)

I am a mover of worlds.

I stand by my brothers and my friends in their time of need, and by so doing I enact positive change. Though my work as a programmer I can put an entire universe into motion with a few keystrokes. I try to be kind and generous to all those around, which draws them to me and me to them.

So yes, friends, I am a mover of worlds. And you can be too. Big change can happen for the smallest reasons, and by keeping an open mind and an open heart you can build strong relationships and have a real effect on the world around you. Sigma Chi, if you are worthy, is a strong step toward making your world and that of those around you better. Sigma Chi doesn't change who you are, but it amplifies those characteristics that make people good and decent, and provides a forum for intellectual discussion and moral support. Here you will find something stronger than friendship, and a fulfillment I cannot describe.

So this is who I am: a mover of worlds.

I am Sigma Chi.
