Sigma Chi Must Start in Bottom Frat Sports League
News, UCF Greek Life — By Cliff Jett on September 2, 2010 at 1:59 pm TweetThere’s good news and bad news for Sigma Chi today. After months being sidelined from UCF Greek Sports, the fraternity will be competing again — but not at the level it used to.
And in a last-ditch effort to move up from the bottom fraternity sports league to the top after coming off a sports suspension, Sigma Chi created a Facebook page to lobby for a vote from other UCF fraternities to allow them to compete in the top fraternity Gold League division.
But their campaign failed during a 12:15 Greek Points meeting today, when Rec and Wellness officials declared a vote from other fraternities to let them back on couldn’t override the current rules, multiple sources at the meeting told KnightNews.com. No vote was ever taken.
The Facebook page, created by Matt Roulan, was created “to petition support from the greek community to bring Sigma Chi back to the GOLD league for greek league.”
“After being reprimanded for things in the past we currently reside in the white league with little chance of being in the top league for a few years. Were not asking to be let in for the greek cup, just the ability to play in the gold greek league.
UCF fraternity sports leagues are divided into Gold League for the top, Black League for the middle and White League for those with the worst records. Because Sigma Chi wasn’t allowed to participate in sports, the rules require their record of zero points places them in White League.
The Sigma Chi Facebook page argued an exception should be made.
“After being reprimanded for things in the past we currently reside in the white league with little chance of being in the top league for a few years,” the page read. “Were not asking to be let in for the greek cup, just the ability to play in the gold greek league.”
Roulan wrote that Sigma Chi wants to play against the top fraternities in Gold League, in order to “keep competition alive.”
Staff from the Rec and Wellness Center confirmed to KnightNews.com that for the upcoming Basketball and Flag Football leagues, Sigma Chi will participate in the White division.
“Since they did not play in previous seasons, the established guidelines are followed for league placement which puts them in that division of play,” said Gary Cahen of the RWC. There is no opportunity for Sigma Chi to change the rules and move up to Gold for this calendar year, but they could try and lobby other Greeks to change the rules for next year’s sports.

So did you see the result last night? Signa Chi showed they don’t belong in the gold league. They stunk up the joint. Come back when you are able to compete
Very false statement. the years of 08-09, and 09-10, phi delt ruled basketball and football. Which are the past 2 years. You may have made other games competitive being in the gold league…but to us…ur just another W in our column. So it dont really matter….white black pink green….step ur game up while u look at our greek cup trphy next couple of years and watch us run through the whole greek life again and again and again.
They were the gold league champs in basketball two years in a row prior to suspension and in football they waxed ass as well. You are a duck. quack quack
Last time Sigma Chi was in Gold League, didn’t they lose to the people on top at the time anyway in like every sport?
Sigma Chi runs Greek Sports and Greek life. Have fun with the weak ass comp in Gold League ducks, and for the soft ass greek teams that play us in the post season…good luck
Remember when AEPi beat Sigma Chi at Arrow Bowl last year? That was fun.
same thing happens when someone mentions Hitler.
You know how I know Sigma Chi is good? Every time someone mentions them, 20 people start talking sh*t about them. If they weren’t the best, no one would care. Worry about your own fraternities and hopefully one day you’ll be as good as they are
Maybe now they can more on their philanthropy, because derby days suck.
Does this mean sigma chi is playing sports with the gay fraternity delta lambda phi??? HAHAHA im sure they’re exited. SUCKS TO SUCK, now go lift some weights to drown your sorrows
If they’re so small then why are you so anonymous?
I understand that Sigma Chi doesn’t place a great deal of emphasis on good grades (or any form of intelligence), but you might want to know that posting “YOUR SO STUPID” make you seem like a complete idiot. Sorry your toolish “frat” is past its prime.
@ha Clearly “HA” is a baby back bitch how about you stop hating on Sigma Chi and lurking on facebook hating on pictures you are probably some gdi fag SOFT
Hope you all can afford your mansion with 10 pledges… bahahaha
Dear Ha,
You are obviously soft as cotton and most likely a hick which makes you a herb. I guarantee all those “guidos” would show you a thing or two. Your clearly a loser talking $hit on knightnews lol. FACT: mansions are better than tents. Your meaning less words will never justify that you fool. YOUR SO STUPID!! Your clearly upset because its so hot outside in your tent or you got reaped from sigma chi or got turned down from getting into one of their dope parties. You are clearly in a whack frat so you suck at sports and without sigma chi your duck a$$ frat has a better chance of getting 3rd of 4th in greek league. Sigma Chi is cooler than you try and move on and help the greek system instead of hurting it with your jealousy. BURNED.
weird that you’re stalking sigma chi’s facebook pictures
Why did sigma chi get reprimanded in the first place and not be allowed into the gold league?
hahahaha jokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Serves them right. They are such guido-tools. they ask for help from other greeks but made a facebook pic saying mansions are better then tents. then no one joins them and they want to come hang out at the tents tonight because no one gives a $hit about their mansion cause they suck.
oh yeah, their facebook pic says lift hard and heavy… but all their pledges are small. ha. so long sigma chi. just like the roman empire, you have fallen and will never get back on top.
