Front Inscription

The Sigma Chi Creed

I believe in fairness, decency and good manners.
I will endeavor to retain the spirit of youth.
I will try to make my college, the Sigma Chi Fraternity,
and my own chapter more honored by all men and women
and more beloved and honestly respected by our own
brothers.  I say these words in all sincerity; That Sigma Chi
has given me favor and distinction; that the bond of our
fellowship is reciprocal; that I will endeavor to so build myself
and so conduct myself that I will ever be a credit to our Fraternity.

In 1660 Medad Pomeroy accepted an offer of tools, an anvil shaped
like this replica, and land in exchange for opening a blacksmith shop
in Northampton, MA. That anvil was passed through many generations of
Pomeroy blacksmiths and gunsmiths, becoming a symbol of the family.
