Gamma Psi of Sigma Chi Fraternity
Independently led chapter's brand refresh and alumni communications outreach.
Communcite  
• Collaborate • Celebrate


PROJECT OVERVIEW
Sigma Chi is a premiere fraternity at Michigan State University.  But, in 2017 it lost its charter. Unfortunately, the chapter's house corp failed to maintain communications with its shareholders for over four and a half years; preceding the chapter's suspension.

A comprehensive organizational review was conducted to discover how problematic their having gone silent was and what steps were needed to regain the trust and confidence of all its shareholders, including: Sigma Chi National and its representatives, the University, and its chapter's alumni.
It was imperative that a communications campaign be launched to create high-quality touch points with all key shareholders. This included a mix of in-person, over the phone, newsletters, and social media. Additionally, it was important to recognize and engage the chapter's most notable brothers to tap into their sphere of influence and gain their endorsement. Special events and collaborative projects were created to generate additional excitement.

RESULTS
Through the relaunch and refresh of the fraternity's Spartan Sig Newsletter and social media, over a period of six months, we reported:
  • Record level alumni engagement rates (top 1-box).
  • Unsolicited emails requests resulted in a 25% greater chapter reach.
  • Endorsement of chapter's most notable brothers: Order of Constantine and Significant Sigs.
  • Best relations with Sigma Chi National and University officials in years.
  • Expanded outreach beyond local chapter alumni tripled reach.
  • Record levels of offers to support from alumni, other Sigma Chi chapters, and Sigma Chi National.
  • Other Sigma Chi Chapters seeking our services and support.
Building off initial strong interest and engagement rates, work included the development of a new website: www.GammaPsiOfSigmaChi.org.
  • Second only in size to Sigma Chi National.
  • Record level of engagement measured by number of pages visited and time spent per visit.
