#Champions4Champion shows support for UAB brother
On April 28, 2016 our chapter of Sigma-Chi Zeta was hit with dreadful news; one of our brothers, Taylor Champion, was diagnosed with ALCL.
“After Champion was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving aberrant T-cells, understandably, everyone was quite shocked and no one knew what exactly to say or do.
The High Zeta quickly discussed the matter and threw around some ideas and focused on the brothers of Sigma-Chi Zeta shaving their heads to show support for Champion’s sudden illness.
The chapter discussed on when the best time would be and couldn’t find a good day to get the whole chapter involved. They quickly decided to do the event right after his third chemotherapy session since it marked his halfway point in treatment.
We had roughly 20 brothers meet at our fraternity house at noon on a Saturday to all shave our heads. Champion came to the house, unknowing of everything, and was surprised to see our brothers not saying we support him, but showing that we support him.
Our brothers coming together for such an occasion is a beautiful way of showing that we live our ritual. This has personally been my favorite fraternity experience (as well as many other brothers) and is a great reminder that our brotherhood is like no other. #Champions4Champion”
