Local Sigma Chi alumni come together every September to celebrate the Merlin Olsen Day of Service, a fraternity-wide tradition held each year on September 15 in honor of Brother Merlin Olsen, Utah State 1962 — NFL Hall of Famer, broadcaster, philanthropist, and a lifelong servant to others.

This year’s focus highlights Sigma Chi’s new partnership with the American Red Cross, giving us the chance to support blood drives and community relief efforts alongside other meaningful local projects. Whether lending a hand at a neighborhood clean-up, volunteering with a local food bank, or helping the Red Cross serve our community, there’s a way for every brother to get involved.

Mark your calendar, bring your family, and join us in honoring Merlin’s spirit of service. Together, we can make a visible difference right here in our own backyard.

Please join fellow Hilton Head Sigma Chi alumni for our September 8, 2025 meeting.

At the July chapter meeting Significant Sig and Chapter President Emeritus Brother Chuck Duvall (Alpha Phi, 1958) kept the room spellbound with his life’s story and how the Spirit of Sigma Chi played a significant part in making him the person he turned out to be. Rather than “bragging” on his illustrious career, most of his story revolved around how his faith and the Spirit of Sigma Chi led him to serve others. At the end of his presentation, he asked Secretary Emeritus Brother Ron Bradley (Beta Psi, 1960) to join him in presenting to President Frank Roach (Zeta Upsilon, 1972) a diamond studded badge that was given to Brother Duvall by his uncle Significant Sig and Order of Constantine Brother Ben Duvall (Kappa Kappa, 1924). The badge will be passed along to each succeeding President of the chapter.

Prior to Brother Duvall’s presentation, President Roach reported on his attendance at Grand Chapter with the biggest two news items being Sigma Chi’s pledging of an additional $31million to the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the launch of an $84million capital campaign to support various undergraduate initiatives.

Future Alumni Chapter events were also discussed.
