• A positive Legacy is attainable, only when the other three arms are utilized in synergy with one another.

Mary Sugden33rd International Sweetheart

The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi

When the world goes wrong, as it’s bound to do

and you’ve broken Dan Cupid’s bow, and you long for the girl you used to love,

the maid of the long ago.

Why light your pipe, bid sorrow avaunt, blow the smoke from you altar of dreams and wreathe the face of your dream girl

there, the love that is just what it seems.

The Sweetheart of Sigma ChiThe girl of my dreams is the sweetest girl

of all the girls I know.

Each sweet coed, like a rainbow trail, fades in the afterglow.

The blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair are a blend of the Western sky.

And the moonlight beams on the girl of my dreams, she’s the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
