A fraternity sweetheart is elected by the men of the fraternity to serve as the House sweetheart, She is the female face of the fraternity and spends allot of time helping with events and projects, usually once a week she is invited to a dinner at the house, all of the men wear shirts and ties and are on their best behavior. Usually the sweetheart is a sorority girl, but not always. The sweetheart is held in very high regard and is treated with absolute dignity and respect. It is not a beauty contest, she must have good moral character, have excellent grades and be able to speak in front of a crowd. Being pretty doest hurt but it will not win the right to be called sweetheart. A week long contest is held in order to crown a house sweetheart. The contest is judged by the entire fraternity. The contest consists of raising money for charity, decorating sheets to hang on houses, essay contest, public speaking contest, and social interaction with members, usually the contestants try to bribe members with breakfast, cookies ,candies and singing. Once crowned sweetheart they rule for the entire year and become very close to the brothers.
Every year the brothers of each Sigma Chi Chapter choose one worthy young woman to represent our Chapter of Sigma Chi for a full year as the frat sweetheart. She is known as the "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi"
