Sigma Nu Fraternity was founded on January 1, 1869, at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, in opposition to hazing and in support of the Honor principle. Since its founding, Sigma Nu has been a pioneer in the fraternal world. Sigma Nu is the only men’s fraternity founded in opposition to hazing. In the early part of the 20th century, Sigma Nu led the westward expansion of Greek-letter fraternities and established many of the earliest and finest privately-owned chapter homes. In more recent years, Sigma Nu responded firmly to the changing legal environment in the early 1980s with the adoption of comprehensive risk reduction policies. During this same time period, Sigma Nu set the pace for the renaissance of the Greek community with the creation and implementation of the LEAD Program, the only ethical leadership development program of its kind. With the recent adoption of the Pursuit of Excellence Program, an annual accreditation program, Sigma Nu is doing the hard work necessary to ensure its success for decades to come.

Sigma Nu Fraternity is committed to its vision of “Excelling with Honor” and is devoted to the growth and development of its members as called for by its mission. Each day thousands of Sigma Nu Brothers strive to believe in the life of love, walk in the way of honor, and serve in the light of truth.

The Fraternity has approximately 155 collegiate chapters and colonies across North America. Membership is approximately 11,000 collegiate members and 180,000 living alumni. Sigma Nu is one of the ten largest international men’s fraternities in North America. The Fraternity serves its members through the provision and administration of various programs and services. A significant portion of the Fraternity’s support is derived from its membership base and from Sigma Nu Educational Foundation, Inc.
