Sigma Chi, Omega Chapter

Brothers!

This Friday at World of Beer in Evanston, the Omega chapter is hosting a beer-tasting event for alumni! The event will start at 3pm and is free.

Additionally, we will be hosting a homecoming reception at the chapter house (2249 Sheridan Rd, Evanston, IL) following Saturday's football game. Hope to see you all there!

Brothers,

It is with heavy hearts that we share this tragic news. On Thursday, our brother John Thumel was involved in a serious car accident in Texas. Unfortunately, the injuries were too extensive, and he passed away Sunday morning at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas.

We've lost one of our own, and it's times like these that we need to come together and be here for each other. Dealing with the loss of someone close to you is a long road, and it's important to take time to care for yourself and those around you.

For more information about John Thumel, the wake, and the funeral, please read the article below.
