The Greek experience is a chance to build skills that
will help you transition into many life situations
after college. Whether or not you have considered
joining the Greek community, we encourage you to research
our values, history and traditions and not let this
opportunity pass you by. Below are some frequently
asked question that will educate you about Sigma Nu
and the rush process.
What makes Sigma Nu different from the rest?
We could say that it is the size of our membership,
our ethical leadership program entitled LEAD, possibly
our military heritage, or even our unique founding
in opposition to hazing that makes us different from
other fraternities. But the simple quality that sets
us apart from any other fraternity in existence is
Honor. In fact, Sigma Nu is the only fraternity in
existence that was founded upon the Principle of Honor,
and it remains so today.

Why don't my parents like fraternities?
Many parents have falsely stereotyped fraternities
because of the media's portrayal the Greek system.
To fight these stereotypes, encourage your parents
to research the purpose of fraternities or to visit
the campus, meet members of the brotherhood, talk
to local alumni, and visit our web site. It is important
to understand that Sigma Nu was established to develop
young men as leaders and well-rounded students.
What is Sigma Nu's policy on hazing?
Sigma Nu has a strict non-hazing policy. Remember,
our founding fathers met and established this fraternity
in strict opposition to the practice of hazing. Therefore,
the hypocrisy of hazing should and will never be tolerated
by our National Organization.
What is the difference between a pledge and a
member?
The difference between a candidate (official term
for pledge), and a member are minimal. A candidate
and a member are offered the same opportunities within
the group. Each has the opportunity to share his opinions
and ideas. Each has opportunities for leadership and
personal growth. Both have the choice to become involved
in other activities on campus and within the community.
The real difference between the two revolves around
the knowledge about Sigma Nu and its values and principles.
These are things that you will be taught during your
candidate period.
How can I learn more?
