Distinguished Undergrads

The Delta Delta Chapter has a long history of undergraduate brothers distinguishing themselves in the Fraternity, on campus and in the community.  We would like to highlight the accomplishments of one of these brothers.

Mitchell Rittman, Class of 2026

Mitchell Rittman ’26

Mitchell comes from a proud Sigma Chi family. Both his father and brother are members of the Delta Delta chapter, with his brother also serving as Consul. He carved out his own story and created his own path, though. Mitchell established himself as one of the chapter’s most accomplished undergraduate leaders during his time at 202.

Mitchell served the chapter as Assistant Risk Manager, Annotator, and Consul. Beyond the chapter, he served as Associate Vice President of Risk Management for the Interfraternity Council and was later elected IFC President, representing the broader fraternity community at Purdue.

Chapter Receives Major Recognition

During Mitchell’s term as Consul, Delta Delta experienced one of its most successful years in recent memory. The chapter earned the International Peterson Significant Chapter Award, recognizing chapters that achieve excellence in all operations, including academics, philanthropy, recruitment, and Ritual performance. The chapter was recognized at State Day with the Most Philanthropic Chapter Award and achieved the most improved GPA on Purdue’s campus.

Mitchell graduated with a degree in Economics from the Daniels School of Business at Purdue. Throughout his time on campus, he was actively involved in the School of Business Career Council and the Interfraternity Council.

Mitchell has completed internships with MJ Insurance in Data Analytics and Eli Lilly in Pricing, Reimbursement, and Access, gaining valuable professional experience while preparing for his career after graduation. Mitchell has accepted a position at Eli Lilly upon graduation.

His commitment to Sigma Chi, academic achievement, leadership, and service was recognized through his selection as the chapter’s Balfour Award recipient in February of 2026.

Personal Statement:

As he reflected on his time at Purdue and in Sigma Chi, Mitchell shared the following thoughts:

“The Delta Delta chapter of Sigma Chi introduced me to not only some of my best friends and one of the most extensive and involved alumni networks in the world but also to myself. During these four years, I learned invaluable skills in building relationships and leadership. I also was able to appreciate the storied traditions and legacy that the Delta Delta chapter has established at Purdue and within the International Fraternity and learned how to leverage my own abilities to continue and contribute to that legacy. My education at Purdue would be incomplete without my experiences at the Delta Delta chapter of Sigma Chi.”
