Who We Are
|
Sigma Nu's past is a proud and colorful one. Founded
by three cadets at the Virginia Military Institute
in a period of civil strife known as the Reconstruction,
Sigma Nu represented a radical departure from the
times. In opposition to a system of physical abuse
and hazing of underclassmen at VMI, James Frank Hopkins,
Greenfield Quarles, and James McIlvaine Riley formed
the "Legion of Honor" which soon became Sigma Nu Fraternity.
So, amidst a backdrop of turmoil, the first "Honor"
fraternity was established in 1869.
Almost 120 years later, Sigma Nu's 209th chapter colonized
at Wake Forest University in the busy city of Winston-Salem,
NC. Today, the Lambda Alpha chapter proves to be a
strong Brotherhood of men, living each day by the
Principle of Honor. Although our chapter is relatively
young, it has seen the comings and goings of many
successful students, and the future is just beginning.
