Blue Scholarship

Sherwood & Janet Roberts Blue Memorial Scholarship

These scholarships are named in memory of Brother Sherwood Blue (Alpha Iota - 1926) and his wife Janet Roberts Blue, and in recognition of their substantial estate gift, which funds the scholarships.

Brother Blue had a distinguished legal career, including service as the Marion County (Indianapolis) Prosecutor.

Janet and Sherwood married in 1961 and she also had a distinguished legal career, which included several years as Clerk of the Appellate Court of Indiana followed by several more as Commissioner of the same Court. In 1992, she was named Sagamore of the Wabash by the Governor. She is the recipient of Theta Chi's Appreciation Award and accompanied Sherwood to many Theta Chi events.
