The Sigma Chi Fraternity proudly recognizes Jonah Oberschlake as the recipient of the 2016-2017 Balfour Award given to the Outstanding Senior of the Theta Nu Chapter at Alma College. This award is given based off of academic success and career plans after graduation, commitment to quality of brotherhood, efficiency at fulfilling the duties of every office, campus involvement and other organizations, and commitment to philanthropy. Brother Oberschlake has held multiple positions throughout his time at Alma, which include: Recruitment, Social, Public Relations, Sports, Tribune, and Formal chairs. On top of Sigma Chi, brother Oberschlake is involved with the Alma College Climbing Club and Chapel Life while also working at Joe’s Café, as a TA in the Math department, and as a Wall Monitor at the Rock Wall.

He has also helped be a small group leader for the Alma Youth Mix and has participated in other volunteer experiences throughout the Alma community. When asked, “What is your favorite part of receiving this award,” Oberschlake responded,
“My favorite part about receiving this award is that it came from the other brothers in the chapter. Sigma Chi has allowed me to grow as a leader, develop bonds with those of different talents, temperaments, and convictions, and has allowed myself to become more confident in my abilities and myself. If it were not for the brothers of Sigma Chi, I honestly believe that I would not be who I am today or possess the tools that are necessary to excel after graduation. Thus, by receiving this award from the same brothers responsible for the most life changing years of my life makes this award all the more special.”
After graduation, brother Oberschlake wishes to continue his education by pursuing a Master’s in Mathematics. The Theta Nu Chapter of Sigma Chi wishes the best of luck for brother Oberschlake along with the rest of the Graduating class.

"Born At Old Miami

I was born at Old Miami in 1855. Because I have offered inspiration to those who sought it, I have grown and matured. I am many things and many people. I am Sigma Chi–I am the White Cross.
I am 160,000 living souls–and the spirit of thousands of others who have lived and died.
I am Ben Runkle and Isaac M. Jordan. Out of principle, I threw a Deke pin on a table and walked out of a meeting. I am Bell, Caldwell, Lockwood, Scobey, and Daniel William Cooper. I am a room on the second floor of an Oxford, Ohio brick building.
I remember Shilo and Vicksburg and Atlanta, too.
I am the Constantine Chapter in a log cabin near Atlanta.
I am the Gamma slant and Joseph C. Nate and son John S. McMillin too.
I remember Flanders Field and Guadalcanal, too, for when freedom called, my brothers answered and stayed until it was over, over there. Some were left as heroic dead at the Marne, on the beachhead of Anzio, the bleak slopes of Korea and in the steaming jungles of Vietnam.
I am Daddy Ricks and Norman Brewer. I am John Graham and Chuck Thatcher.
I am the Blue and Gold, the Jordan Standard, the Order of Constantine, and, of course, the Leadership Training Workshop. I am the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, the brown-eyed Sweethearts and pin-mates, too.
I am big. I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific. My arms reach out to embrace Canada, Texas and California. I am more than 200 active chapters. You will find me at M.I.T., Ole Miss, Purdue, Roanoke, Toronto, Houston, Kentucky, and Florida State.
I am Bob Griese, Merlin Olsen, Jim Palmer, and all the other Sig athletes. I am Steve Canyon. I am a pledge class worshipping together at a chapel on Sunday. I am a happy group of people at a Sweetheart Ball. I am The Magazine of Sigma Chi and the Ritual. I am the roar of a crowd at an intramural game.
You can look at me and see the clasp of friendship, a scroll and seven stars. You can see Harry St. John Dixon and his badge of silver and gutta percha. You can see the candlelight of a midnight serenade and hear the strains of “A Sig I Am.”
I am J. William Fulbright, Barry Goldwater, John Wayne, and all of you, too.
I am a deep sense of personal responsibility. I am a search for a way of life. I am a great moment in a young man’s life.
Yes, I am Sigma Chi, and these are the things that I am. I was born out of principle and idealism. And, God willing, I will be based on principles and ideals for the rest of my days. May I always possess the integrity, courage, and strength to remain the greatest fraternity in the world. This is my wish, my goal, my prayer.
I am Sigma Chi. I am the White Cross."
