Friday September 16, 2010 was an exciting end to a very successful Sigma Chi Rush Week (which was actually several weeks long)! Over 30 young men accepted bids to the Gamma Kappa chapter of Sigma Chi out of more than 100 hopeful applicants. About 26 of the 35 gentlemen showed-up for a tradition known as "The Running of The Hill". Many lucky female friends of the chapter also attended. The men did all the hard work; I just took the pictures.
Alumni members of Sigma Chi came to the chapter house before the "run"
to celebrate with the newest members. And, also, "to show these men how it's done".
Local celebrity, Daniel Bromley embraces the youth one last time before sending
them to Old Main Hill.
Utah State University's sexiest bachelors all lined up to run down Old Main Hill.
And ladies, many of them are single. Ooh la la.
The 2010-2011 Sweethearts with their favorite men. Like "Where's Waldo?" but
with guys who are much better looking than Waldo.
Active member, Anthony Drake, grabs the hand of a new member and says, "Congratulations"
in a show of support. Other new members rush down without falling.
Sigma Chis at the bottom of the hill supporting a new member who recently injured his tibia in a gruesome accident. Sigma Chi obviously embraces diversity.
Walking up Old Main Hill: a fate worse than death.

Sigma Chi Gamma Kappa Fall '10 New Members - About 33 accepted bids in all and about 6 of the men couldn't make it to the hill run.
Congratulations on accepting your bids and good luck in school and Sigma Chi!!!
We all can't wait to see what you accomplish.
The Running of The Hill REMIX!
Here are some of the pictures taken by fellow Sweetheart, Ellen Garr. Enjoy them, they are really fantastic and give you the full grasp of the size of this year's pledge class. We are so excited to see how well all of these great guys do throughout their experience in Sigma Chi!
Johnny is proud to wave the flag.
The Sweethearts again.
Sigma Chi was the only fraternity to have female supporters this year.
A lot of hard work went into this day. It was full of excitement and pride. And, to think, this is just the beginning.
Coolest thing ever! I have a video of the running fo the hill and a video of the bird song if you want them :) love you all!
ReplyDeleteHey Brittany!
ReplyDeleteI would probably like the video of the Hill Running. I am going to post some of Ellen's photos on this post, too. Thank you for visiting! :D
