Arizona
State University's Sigma Nu was founded
in 1955. Since then, well over one thousand
members have been initiated. Our beautiful
house is conveniently located next to Wells
Fargo Arena and Sun Devil Stadium, and across
the street from the north campus dormitories.
The house has accommodations for 63 men
and consists of three buildings housing
a chapter room, library, cafeteria, recreation
room, and kitchen. There are laundry facilities,
two large sun decks, a sand volleyball court,
and a swimming pool. For more information

Pledgeship
Sigma
Nu has an extremely rewarding pledge program.
It is time to grow as an individual, while
developing lifelong relationships. With
the absence of hazing, Sigma Nu allows you
to display the true person that you are.
Sigma
Nu is known for having the most quality
pledges, displaying leadership, drive, and
ambition. You will be able to participate
in community service, social events and
academic strengthening while, most of all,
you will get the opportunity to live the
"Total Sigma Nu Experience."
Academics
No
matter how academically successful you were
in high school, the transition to college
academic work is not an easy one. The tendency
to procrastinate and underestimate the workload
is high. The Sigma Nu pledge program is
very strong in providing guidance and tools
necessary for pledges to succeed academically.
Sigma
Nu places great concern on the academic
performance and provides a positive environment
that encourages strong study habits. The
academic discipline that pledges are exposed
to is great support to the new student,
and shows how classes are taught at the
university and how to do well. As part of
a pledge class, each pledge receives the
proper amount of peer pressure to make certain
that academic responsibilities are met.
This is something invaluable that Sigma
Nu offers.
Philanthropy
Sigma
Nu understand the importance of serving
our community, and has been active in doing
so since the chapter was founded. Perhaps
most important Sigma Nu proves that community
service can be fun. Philanthropies are a
great way to meet new people, compete in
events, and raise some money for a worth
cause. This Chapter has raised over $250,000
to support Childhelp USA through philanthropic
events.
The
largest and most reputable event of the
year has been the Sigma Nu Relays. A multi-day
fundraiser for Childhelp USA, Relays is
famous for its Saturday Pool Party. While
Sigma Nu places a heavy emphasis on achieving
goals and academics, we feel there must
be an even balance of social time.
Athletics
Sigma
Nu has achieved an exceptional reputation
in intramural athletics. In the past, Sigma
Nu has won or placed in the top three Greek
intramural sports each year. When we are
not competing in intramurals, house volleyball
and basketball are always exciting events.
Social
Perhaps
one of the most common reasons to join a
fraternity is the social aspect, and perhaps
the most common reason to join us here at
Sigma Nu is for the social aspect!
We
have themed parties with sororities with
themes ranging from mud wrestling to Jamaican.
We also have formals and homecoming date
parties. Homecoming provides a unique opportunity
for Sigma Nu Alumni from the Zeta Upsilon
Chapter as well as other chapters to rekindle
the spirit they experienced during their
collegiate years.
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
is not something that can be described in
a neat little sentence. Brotherhood is an
experience that you only know and understand
whne you are a part of it. This is partly
due to the extensive planning of events
specifically targeting the strengthening
of brotherly bonds. We do our best to create
the perfect atmosphere in which these bonds
may thrive. The friendships grow stronger,
reinforcing the fact that brotherhood is
for life.
Involvment
Sigma
Nu has deep pride in the number of brothers
who have been actively involved on campus.
Five past Student Body Presidents were Sigma
Nu brothers. A partial listing of brother's
achievements include:
