The Dave & Woody Summer Tour – One Chapter at a Time: Purdue Takes the Top Spot

The Dave & Woody Summer Tour kicks off in West Lafayette as the guys welcome Preston Bunch, Consul of Purdue University's Delta Delta Chapter, recognized as the #1 Life Loyal Sigma Chi chapter in the nation. 

Preston shares what makes Purdue's chapter stand out—from a rich history dating back to the 1800s and the unique "Sub Rosa" traditions born during fraternity bans, to a recently renovated chapter house and a culture of strong alumni engagement. The conversation explores leadership, recruitment, philanthropy, and how Purdue's Derby Days events raised more than $27,000 this year.

The guys also learn about Preston's ambitions in finance and accounting, his plans to seek campus leadership roles, and his thoughts on preserving Sigma Chi traditions while adapting to modern campus life. Along the way, they discuss chapter operations, social media responsibility, and what it takes to build a lifelong connection between undergraduates and alumni.

After the interview, Dave and Woody wander into their usual territory—traffic frustrations, commuting stories, and even some surprisingly weird science involving memory experiments with worms and sea slugs.

It's the first stop on a summer-long journey celebrating outstanding Sigma Chi chapters and the brothers who keep them thriving—one chapter at a time.
