Sigs Compete on NBC's "Deal or No Deal"
04/07/08
© 2008, Sigma Chi International Headquarters
The blue and old gold will be going for the green, as Sigs from Southern California compete for a $1 million jackpot on the April 16 episode of the NBC series "Deal or No Deal."
Consul Trey Milburn, 2009; Ryan Abboushi, 2008; Eric Cox, 2010; and Drew Huffman, 2012; will represent the Fraternity onstage, with the rest of their chapter cheering them on from the audience. The four Sigs will work together as a team, choosing a briefcase at the beginning of the show from the 26 available. Each briefcase contains an unknown dollar amount ranging from $0.01 to $1 million. The players will then entertain "deals" from the show’s mysterious "Banker" that offer cash amounts for them to quit the game, all while they eliminate the remaining briefcases in the hopes of having originally picked the $1 million case.
Sigma Chi beat out more than 50 other fraternities and sororities from the state of California for the chance to appear on the Howie Mandel-hosted game show.
"[NBC] chose us because we had a lot of energy, and they knew we wanted to raise the money for house improvements and charity," Milburn says. "And to have the chance to do that and promote Sigma Chi on prime-time television was a great experience."
The April 16 episode, which will air at 7 p.m. CST on NBC, will feature a Spring Break theme.

not necessarily.
I graduated high school in '06 but will be graduating college in '12 because i am double majoring, so it will take me 2 years longer to graduate, so that might be what the person who is graduating in 2012 is doing as well.

There's also certain academic programs that may be a five-year program. For example, Penn State's Architectural Engineering program is a five-year program with the fifth year being a senior thesis. Another example, Purdue engineering students that do co-ops at Toyota alternate semesters between Purdue and Toyota and end up taking 5 years to graduate.

It depends on what you consider winning. Did they get the million? No.
I liked this episode. The Sigma Chi "Pyschic" was hilarious.
Yeah they had SAE there as the "rival" fraternity.
I don't know if it was already on GC, but one of the models said she was a Kappa @ UCLA.
ETA: I wonder how much money they are going to use for their charity event.
