Sigma Chi Mu Tau exists to recognize academic merit and to encourage leadership, ethical behaviors and commitment to high standards in the pursuit of supply chain management excellence. 

Sigma Chi Mu Tau believes that academic excellence should be a priority for every supply chain management major and was created to remind students of the importance of scholastic achievement.
