Chris Hull Memorial Sigma Pi OpenIt was another great outing for the players and guests of the 10th anniversary of the Chris Hull Memorial Sigma Pi Open. The day started with weather that could not be better. After a catered breakfast in the 19th hole, blue skies and temperatures in the mid seventies invited the tournament participants to bring out their ‘A game’. After Friday’s rain, the Blue Course at Penn State was in tip-top condition. Lush green fairways seduced each drive but dense rough wreaked havoc on approach shots. The contest was on as Sigma Pis and Fremont-sters alike vied for the winning score. At the turn, players were treated to boxed lunches for a needed boost of energy and play continued with talk of finishing scores in the 60’s.

Continued... How Has Sigma Pi Influenced You?Thank you to our alumni members who recently responded to let us know how Sigma Pi has influenced their lives. Here’s what a few brothers had to say about their time in the fraternity:
Craig D. Womeldorf ‘87: “Sigma Pi gave me real experience in working with people of diverse perspectives.”
Raymond H. Harris ‘58: ‘The fraternity had the greatest effect on my social skills, smoothing the rough edges.”
Robert J. Cubbison ’56: “[I] met some great men that remain good friends today. During our younger years following college we drifted apart into military, family and business. Later in life it’s a kick to reconnect. We may look and feel different in our 70’s but the twinkle in the eye, spirit and friendship remains very much alive.”
Joshua Gorelick ’06: “As sage, I was always motivated to make the house better for the actives, alumni and university. Now that I am in a management position at a Bar/Brewery near Fenway Park in Boston, I use that same motivation to make better beer and food products for my guests. I don’t think I would have the drive for excellence without my experience in Sigma Pi.”
