The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi
"The girl of my dreams is the sweetest girl, of all the girls I know" ~From the lyrics of The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi
Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, Lily Pettler.
The Sigma Chi Sweetheart is elected for the term of a year each Spring to assiss in organizing events and represent the chapter on campus and in the community. Their current Sweetheart is Lily Pettler, a fourth year Alpha Chi Omega majoring in Political Science and English. She will be working hard over the next year to further develop the Sweetheart Court, a recently initiated program.
Unsubstantiated Rumors
For many years now Sigma Chi has been at the center of rumors that indicate the organization as the "date rape frat". The rumors, which age number greater than any active brother's membership, are completely unsubstantiated. No one has come forward with allegations amounting to rape against a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, Theta Omicron. It should be noted that several Actives and Alumni members of the Davis chapter have been members of Men Acting Against Rape, Women's Research and Resource Center, and other organizations with the design to improve campus safety and prevent instances of crimes against women.
As the Davis Chapter of Sigma Chi helps improve the Davis community and has never been accused of date rape, such rumors should not tarnish their name. If you hear this rumor being spread, it would be kind to inform individuals that such claims are unsubstantiated and likely untrue as a result. Rape is a serious issue and false accusations of rape are equally serious. Both have the potential to drastically alter someone's life.
During the editing of the above, Wikians debated the relevance of this subject on the Sigma Chi page. It is the opinion of the Sigs of the Theta Omicron Chapter as well as others, that the rumors have no place on the Sigma Chi page. However untrue the rumors may be, others feel it necessary to include this topic for its journalistic value despite the fact that Sigma Chi and the Theta Omicron chapter are private organizations. In an effort to appease both sides, the preceding paragraph on the issue has been written by a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity with heavy editing from many Wiki users. Before editing this section, be aware that several thousands of words worth of debate between many people went into the above wording. The history of the discussion can be found by viewing the history of the talk page (even if it doesn't exist).
