CHI Property Assessment Program

Your assessment isn't just about the physical structure.

Every three years, a licensed inspector assesses your chapter house. On the same day, a Sigma Chi alum volunteer comes to talk with you. The assessment tells you what the property needs. The conversation connects you to what it takes to address it.

How It Works

Two visits. One day. Two completely different purposes.

The property assessment and the CHI relationship visit happen on the same day, but they serve different purposes and involve different people.

The Property Assessment

  • Licensed third-party property inspector
  • Physical condition of the property
  • Required every three years by the Risk Management Foundation (RMF)
  • Written report with findings

The CHI Visit

  • Sigma Chi alum volunteer with housing expertise
  • Conversation about how your HC is doing
  • Introduction to what CHI offers
  • 60-90 minutes of your time
When the report comes back, your Property Coordinator follows up within two weeks to discuss what it means and what options CHI can help you explore.
