The Sigma Chi Sweetheart

Delaware:    Ms. Jessica Dowd - Sigma Kappa

How a Sweetheart is Born

       At each Grand Chapter-where approximately 700 Sigma Chis convene to elect officials and pave the path for the Fraternity's future--a chapter sweetheart is selected to be the International Sweetheart of Sigma Chi for the following two years. During their tenure, they will visit undergraduate chapters across North America and attend various leadership workshops. Criteria for the International Sweetheart are personality, character, scholarship, campus activities, Sigma Chi activities, general accomplishments, poise and grace. The song, "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," honoring the young woman's importance to the Fraternity and an ideal brotherhood was written by two Sigma Chis in 1911. It became a national hit in 1928. At the 1948 Grand Chapter, the Fraternity held its first election of an official International Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
