SIGMA PI CENTENNIAL CLOCK TOWER
A project unfinished.
"It ain't over till it's over," is a one of the many quotes by Yogi Berra, and it applies to the gift Sigma Pi Fraternity gave to Vincennes University for our 100th anniversary. Although the Centennial Clock Tower was dedicated on September 6, 2000, there are still 300 bricks available. This means YOU still have the opportunity to become a part of history by purchasing a commemorative brick engraved with your personal inscription which will be a record of your part in Sigma Pi history!
Although Sigma Pi has chartered 222 chapters in our first 110 years as a fraternity, less than 50 chapters have purchased a brick as part of their ownership in the Sigma Pi Centennial Clock Tower. Out of the 27 active alumni clubs, which are support groups to our chapters and volunteers that we depend on to become leaders in the fraternity, only 3 of them have left their historic mark on the Clock Tower. If your chapter or alumni club is not listed below, I encourage you to help us put another brick in the wall with your name on it. Most of the bricks have been purchased by alumni with either their own names or chapters or in memory of a fraternity brother. If you are a Chapter Director or Province Archon, you are also needed.

You can leave your historic mark in two ways..
1. You can be a Clock Tower Contributor ($125.00), the brick you purchase will be placed in the clock tower, and you will receive a certificate of ownership, and be listed in the historic 110 years of Sigma Pi Book.
2. You also have the unique opportunity to become one of only 100 Clock Tower FOUNDERS ($189.70) The brick you purchase will be placed in a specifically designed location in the clock tower highlighting your contribution, you will also receive a framed certificate of ownership, be listed in the historic 110 years of Sigma Pi Book, and be highlighted in the Emerald for your contribution.
The Centennial Clock tower stands across the street from the Alpha House as a monument to Sigma Pi and Vincennes University. Since 1897 there have been almost 90,000 members, who have taken the oath as members of the fraternity. We need brothers, chapters, and alumni clubs to step forward as valued supporters.
At the present time the first 110 years of the fraternity is being written in a book entitled "Sigma Pi - A Fellowship of Kindred Minds." In the book will be an article about the Clock Tower, and the list of those engraved names will go down as part of our history. I Believe... you should be a part of that history. Contact the Executive Office for the information packet.
