beta delta 100th
anniversary Recap
Beta Delta Chapter celebrated its 100th
anniversary in grand style October 13-
15, 2006 in Missoula. Here are some
of the many comments received:
I was initiated in February 1943 just
before leaving for war time assignment.
I returned Fall 1945 with eight other
Sigs to reopen the House. The
University used it for the V-12
program and it was a mess. The nine of
us put in a lot of work getting ready for
the anticipated return of the Veterans.
By January 1946, 72 Sigma Chi
Brothers and pledges returned to UM.
We did our best to accommodate them
by opening up "Siberia" on the third
floor. There was no heat, no light,
plank floors and no beds. We were
able to secure two dozen Army cots
from Fort Missoula. We housed 62
men, hired a cook, and patched up the
stove and refrigeration. We had to run
the dining room in two shifts for all
meals. Everyone pitched in to take care
of each other.
A special thanks to all of you for the
spectacular 100th Anniversary
Celebration! We realize the
preparation, planning and work to stage
an event for 500+ people and you
Brothers did a fantastic job. I had the
pleasure of meeting those from my era
of 1939 to 1954.
I was on a "spiritual high" at the ritual
event at the University Theater and was
extremely moved by the "Circle of
Friendship" which represented a span
of 69 years starting with John Harrison.
This was the highlight of my Sigma
Chi career! Bill Miles ‘46

Pat and I wish to thank your committee
for organizing, arranging and
conducting such a momentous and
terrific 100th Sigma Chi celebration.
The banquet was a fitting climax to a
typically excellent Sigma Chi event.
