Among the greatest benefits and most important purposes of Sigma Chi is to offer service to the community. Through numerous service projects and philanthropic efforts every year, the Beta Rho chapter of Sigma Chi raises money to help disadvantaged children and families. We also contribute our time to make a difference by serving as mentors, tutors, and agents for strengthening our community.

A Sigma Chi acknowledges and accepts personal responsibilities to his family, to the community in which he lives and to those who are less fortunate. A Sigma Chi voluntarily contributes his time, talents and resources to help build a better society.

The brothers of the Beta Rho chapter of Sigma Chi continue this tradition of helping others in the community in a variety of ways. Sigma Chi's international philanthropy is the Children's Miracle Network (CMN). Through various fund-raising activities Beta Rho donates annually to Shodair Children's Hospital in Helena, Montana, our nearest CMN affiliate. Our biggest fund-raising event is Derby Days. To date the various chapters of Sigma Chi have donated over $3 million to CMN affiliate hospitals. Beta Rho donates more than merely money. Our members help in a variety of ways by donating time. Some of the most rewarding are the Big Brothers/Big Sisters and CAP Mentor programs where our members donate their time and help children of the Gallatin Valley.

Members of Sigma Chi also volunteer in service projects in the community. We feel that this service is an enormous benefit to the community and to our own lives.

Whether it be an honorary, special interest, recreational or leadership organization, you will find a member of Sigma Chi. Beta Rho is a leader on campus as well. Our members are active in a wide array of campus organizations and activities. Currently we have members leading ASMSU, Montana State's student government and IFC, Montana State's Interfraternity Council, to name a few. Beta Rho members belong to many departmental and non-departmental honor societies on campus such as Mortar Board, Golden Key, and Order of Omega. Our members are also involved with campus religious organizations and churches.
