The Norman Shield
The Norman Shield is the reference manual of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. It contains information about the history of the fraternity, going all the way back to 1855 when Sigma Chi was created. It tells of the rift between the members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity members, which eventually led to our creation. The Norman Shield talks about each of the 7 founders, as well as the nomenclature and insignia related to the fraternity.
The book also covers information such as positions that can be held within the chapter and within the international fraternity. Manners, etiquitte and other "gentlemanly" things are also taught.
The Norman Shield was designed and written for young men interested in joining fraternities. It inspires learning and deeper thought within the reader. The dedication of the book can be seen on the right.
