Sigma Gamma understands that optimizing one's college experience should never be dependent on substances of any kind.  We emphasize this message consistently among our brothers.  We plan several events each semester that are specifically geared towards reinforcing a "substance free" environment.  We make it a point to schedule substance free service projects, and substance free mixers with other organizations, as well as substance free recruitment events, and substance free brotherhood involvement events.   We have always had among our active brothers several members who simply choose to abstain, and have always abstained from anything that detracts from their abilities to appreciate all that life can bring.  We celebrate their ability to lead by example and encourage our pledges to learn from their experiences.  

Stepping up and being a leader in our fraternity is in no way dependent upon one's preferences to participate in any given activity.  It simply requires you to wake up each and every day with a genuine desire to make a difference and show what you are really made out of.  In college, it's easy to fall into the trap of "group thinking" and feeling some pressure that you have to participate in order to belong.   That's not how we think at Sigma Gamma.  We specifically talk among ourselves, and give real life examples about the importance of diversity and celebrating what each of us brings to the collective table.  Doing so makes us stronger as an organization and encourages our development as well rounded individuals.

Simply stated, we stress to each and every potential pledge and brother that one should never feel as if they have to be partake in any activity in order to feel like you "belong".  We want you to be one of those special people who can appreciate the ability to get high on life itself.  Doing so will help you stand out as the difference maker we know you can be.
