Cycyota Volunteer Institute

Tom & Cyndy

Named after Tom Cycyota, Illinois ’77 and his wife Cyndy, who value the role and development of volunteers in Delta Sigma Phi, the new Cycyota Volunteer Institute seeks to prepare new and seasoned volunteers to successfully advise undergraduate chapters. Attendees will learn about advising philosophies, current trends in student development and engagement, mental health, and Fraternity resources that exist to support them in their role.

The people of Delta Sig, who we’ve met over the years, are nothing short of remarkable. It is our hope that the Institute will enable Delta Sig to build even better men.
