Eminent Commander Cole Murdoch and Former Eminent Commander Eduardo Sanchez receiving the rock chapter award for excellence

Sigma Nu Zeta Xi prides itself on consistently attaining excellence and that is exactly what they did when they won their 4th consecutive rock chapter and 6th since rechartering. Our eminent commander Cole Murdoch shares his experience attending grand chapter:

“Attending Sigma Nu's 70th Grand Chapter Conclave was an incredible experience, and I couldn't be prouder to represent the Zeta Xi Chapter at UC Davis. Witnessing our chapter being honored with the Rock Chapter Award for the 2021-2023 biennium was a truly humbling moment. This was our sixth Rock Chapter award since our recharter and fourth consecutive award. This distinguished recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our over 80 collegiate members who have consistently maintained a high standard of excellence in all areas of chapter operations. It is clear that greek organizations are under attack across the country. Nevertheless, Sigma Nu Fraternity is determined to grow success full chapters that stay true to our organization’s values.

I had the privilege of serving on the nominating committee, where I actively contributed to selecting candidates for the next officers of the high council. Although speaking in front of over 400 individuals was daunting, this role allowed me to ensure that chapters from the West Coast are represented at the national level. It was a pleasure to interact with over 400 collegiate chapter officers and engage in meaningful discussions about their successes and challenges.

Zeta Xi Chapter's dedication to academic excellence was recognized both locally and by the General Fraternity, receiving awards for Highest GPA, Largest Manpower, and Top-Performer in Recruitment. The academic award for having the top fraternity GPA on our campus for both the Spring and Fall 2022 terms, as well as Excellence in Phase I of the LEAD Program and the Pursuit of Excellence award for Excellence in Personal Development & Membership Value, further highlight the outstanding achievements of our chapter.

As our chapter moves forward, I have extreme confidence that Zeta Xi Chapter will continue to uphold Sigma Nu's mission, values, and principles through its honorable conduct for many years to come. I am grateful for the memories and friendships made at the Grand Chapter Conclave, and I am excited to see the bright future that lies ahead for our chapter and the national fraternity as a whole. ”
