                          DELTA XI CENTENNIAL

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, I wish to honor my brothers of 
Sigma Nu Fraternity, especially the Delta Xi Chapter at the University 
of Nevada, which is celebrating 100 years of leadership, service, and 
brotherhood this year.
  Since its founding in 1869 at the Virginia Military Institute, Sigma 
Nu has installed over 279 chapters and initiated more than one-quarter 
of a million members, including myself, an initiate and alumni of the 
Epsilon Omicron Chapter at the University of Southern California. It is 
an honor to know our fraternity's mission--to develop ethical leaders 
inspired by the principles of love, honor, and truth--has prevailed for 
nearly a century.
  The Delta Xi Chapter of our fraternal network is a standout among 
chapters in the Nation. Established by the Nevada Club at the turn of 
the 20th century, the brothers of Delta Xi have since initiated well 
over 1,900 members and awarded more than 100 deserving scholarships.
  Their members not only prioritize their academic involvement within 
the University of Nevada system, but also give back to their local 
community through service. Their achievements and contributions to the 
community will only continue to grow as Sigma Nu is dedicated to 
fostering the personal growth of each man's mind, heart, and character. 
Through its dedication to leadership and philanthropic commitments, our 
fraternity has sustained a nationally renowned reputation.
  As Delta Xi celebrates its centennial year, its members have much to 
be proud of and look forward to for many years to come. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in congratulating the Delta Xi Chapter of Sigma 
Nu.
