    For the 7th year in a row, Sigma Theta Phi wins Hottest Chili at HPU Fest!



    A special thanks goes out the Sigma Theta Phi Alumni, Cory McManness and Josh Cunningham. This year's Chili Scoville scale was estimated to be above 10 million! Not even Charlie Sheen could win against this stuff.
  • Loss Of A Brother

    By Philip Whitt - Monday, April 04, 2011


    Colton L. Burran
    8/24/1987 - 4/3/2011

    Today Sigma Theta Phi mourns the loss of a beloved brother, Colton Burran. We were blessed to have called you a brother and to have had you in our presence - you will be dearly missed. You gave us many wonderful memories and enriched everyone's life that you came into contact with. Tomorrow we will rejoice in the life that you lived and His Kingdom that you now resided in. We will meet again, brother.

    Please keep the Burran family in your prayers as they go through this difficult time.


    Colton Burran's funeral will be in Brownfield at 11pm this Thursday, April 7th. Coggin will be taking vans for students who want to go. Please contact Christian Nance if you would like a ride so they know how many they will need to take. We will need to leave by 6:00AM Thursday morning. (325) 647-0483.

    A memorial service will also be help at Coggin Ave Baptist Church, in the gym, in Brownwood. The service will begin at 10:30pm. This will be a great time to come together to worship our Lord, pray for on another and remember Colton.


    "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 
    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
    He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
    Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."
    - Psalm 23

  • New Layout + Social Network

    By Philip Whitt - Sunday, July 11, 2010

    Sigma Theta Phi has a new look!

    Sigma Theta Phi's web site has finally been updated! The new layout may be the most obvious, but there's content as well! 

    Sigma Phi's web site has never been renowned for its publicly available content, but that is soon to change with the new content management system! This new system means I, Philip Whitt (Historian 2008-2010), can finally pass the torch for updating the web site to the new Executive members. With the new content management system, the Executive members for 2010-2011 can easily update the public content without having to know a bit of HTML, javascript, CSS, etc etc....

    Check back here on a regular basis for more news on Sigma Theta Phi. More articles will be posted throughout the summer about our past activities and once the fall rolls around, HPU will be back in-session and the site should be updated regularly. 

    Alumni, log in and update your information! Also, we are trying to get a Sigma Phi/Phi Chi reunion going, so join the discussion on the discussion board! If you cant figure out your password, have it sent to your e-mail account. If you still cant log in, or dont remember the email you used, find me on facebook and I'll help you out.

    New features for the social network:
    • Polls
    • News Articles 
    • Photo Tagging
    • Status Updates (Text, Picture, Video, Link)
    • Status Comments (without having to reload your browser)
