The W. T. Hembree Guild is an honorary society of brothers, spouses and friends of Sigma Tau Gamma who make a planned estate gift to the Sigma Tau Gamma Foundation. Typically, our Hembree Guild brothers arrange for a gift to be made through their will; either as a specific amount or a percentage of all, or a portion of their estate. Some find that a charitable remainder trust or charitable lead trust is a preferred approach for their estate planning.
For those wishing to make their estate plan intentions known or if you simply want to find out more information about joining the Hembree Guild, please contact the Foundation Executive Vice President, Bill Bernier at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The W. T. Hembree Guild is named for Bill Hembree, 12th National President of Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity and a past president of the Sigma Tau Gamma Foundation who chaired the first Foundation fund raising campaign. Bill led the way by making the first major gift to the Foundation and by planning his own deferred estate gift to the Foundation. Importantly, Bill's wife Connie was and is a partner in his current and planned gifts to the Foundation.
We are grateful to and honor these members of the Hembree Guild.
