After weeks of fog the skies finally cleared for our second golf tournament of the year, the Sigma Chi Brotherhood Open, hosted at Eagle Springs Golf and Country Club near Millerton Lake on Sunday, November 21st. A total of 60 brothers competed in the three man scramble with proceeds benefiting the Epsilon Eta chapter.

After a chilly morning the sun was shining for the 9:00am shotgun start and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Brothers were once again provided custom Sigma Chi golf balls, tees, ball markers and breakfast provided by the course. After the round, brothers gathered at the clubhouse for the raffle prize giveaway and announcement of winners.

Epsilon Eta Chapter Fundraiser Chair, Logan Mann (F’20), along with four other active chapter brothers, assisted with selling raffle tickets and other charitable opportunities, including a move up hole donation, two Vegas holes, and parimutuel betting, with proceeds going to the Epsilon Eta chapter. In total, Logan and the brothers raised nearly one thousand dollars, for a total of over four thousand dollars raised from both tournaments this year!

The Epsilon Eta chapter would like to thank all our alumni for the continued support and we look forward to seeing you all at the next tournament in the Spring of ‘22!
