Sigma Chi

The original bylaws for The Order of Constantine were drafted in 1950. They were amended in 1975, again in 1993 and most recently, in June of 2018. Soon after becoming a member of OOC in 1991, Brother McWhirter took it upon himself to substantially revise and update the OOC bylaws, which led to him being recognized as the Official Parli amentarian on behalf of OOC We are grateful to the Sigma Chi Foundation for its contribution toward funding of this booklet
