Our History

Founded on principles of Love, Honor, and Truth, Sigma Nu has a proud history that spans over a century. Established in 1869 at the Virginia Military Institute, Sigma Nu was born out of a desire to foster unity, ethical leadership, and mutual respect among its members. Our founders envisioned a brotherhood that would stand against the injustices of hazing and embrace a higher standard of integrity and camaraderie.

Over the years, Sigma Nu has grown into a national organization with chapters across the country, each upholding the values and traditions that define our fraternity. Through dedication to service, academic excellence, and developing tomorrow's leaders, we continue to make a lasting impact in the communities we serve.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build men of character who lead with integrity and purpose. We are dedicated to creating a supportive and challenging environment that encourages each member to strive for excellence and live by our principles. Through leadership, service, and personal growth, we aim to make a lasting impact on our members and the broader community.

Our Brotherhood

In Sigma Nu, we cultivate an environment where every member is encouraged to reach their fullest potential, both personally and professionally. From celebrating achievements to providing support in challenging times, our brotherhood is a constant source of strength and encouragement. We learn together, grow together, and challenge each other to become better men.

This bond doesn’t end with graduation. Our brotherhood extends far beyond our years on campus, creating a network of alumni who continue to support and guide each new generation. Sigma Nu is more than a fraternity—it’s a family bound by principles that will last a lifetime.
