  8. Challenges • The Pi (Touro – Nevada) chapter needs to better express the responsibilities of being a member and what is expected of future and current members. • The Chapter’s presence has been minimal on campus for the last few years and many students do not know what is to be a Sigma Sigma Phi member and what benefits membership has.
