Leadership Programs and Events

Convocation

Convocation is an event that takes place every biennium (two years) where delegates from each Chapter, Alumni Club, as well as members from across the country come together to celebrate Sigma Pi. During this event delegates from each Chapter and Alumni Club will assemble and vote on changes to the organization, both virtually and in-person, as well as voting in the next Grand Council members.

Mid-Year Leadership Conference

No program in recent years has had as positive an effect on chapter management as the Mid-Year Leadership Conference (MYLC), which is held at the beginning of each calendar year. Sigma Pi, through the support of alumni, has been able to provide funding which covers the housing and meal costs associated with the conference. The workshop develops lifelong leadership skills that can be used in personal, collegiate, professional, and fraternal experiences. It helps to develop networks between members across North America, while creating awareness of specific leadership responsibilities within the Fraternity. Delegates learn about the international organization through interaction between members from other chapters, the Executive Office staff, and the Grand Council and Educational Foundation board members.

At the two-day event, the Fraternity brings together newly-elected chapter officers for a series of training sessions. The agenda for the weekend allows attendees to meet, greet and discuss matters of importance to the Fraternity, while developing them in their positions.

Tony siress leadership summit

The Sigma Pi University: Tony Siress Leadership Summit (TSLS) is the Fraternity’s off-Convocation-year summer conference. The focus of this conference is to provide personal and professional development to our membership. Topics will revolve around critical thinking, conflict management, interpersonal development, stress management, strengths-based thinking, group communication, and navigating organizational dynamics.

Each chapter is encouraged to send one attendee to TSLS for personal and professional development. Space will be limited to one person per chapter until a specified deadline, then additional spots may open. There is no formal application process to attend; each chapter may send a current or future leader, and any member who wants to continue their Sigma Pi journey through personal and professional development.
