Sigma Nu

You might not associate fraternities with leadership and achievement, but Sigma Nu is proud to offer its members a four-year ethical leadership development program. Sigma Nu’s acclaimed LEAD Program (an acronym for Leadership, Ethics, Achievement, and Development) helps our members discover a new level of achievement and grow socially, intellectually and morally.

Sigma Nu doesn't want its members to develop as leaders just to benefit Sigma Nu. Rather, we want our members to learn how to lead and then join other organizations to help those organizations become even stronger. Leadership is useless when it is kept in a bottle.

Sigma Nu also strives to develop leadership skills applicable to the world outside of college. Sigma Nu is able to do this by providing the training and hands-on experience necessary to understand leadership. When members of Sigma Nu graduate they are armed with confidence and skills to be successful in any organization. You learn skills that cannot be taught in the classroom.

Sigma Nu, above all, is a brotherhood. The friendships and memories we form here last a lifetime. Fraternity, for us, is all about supporting one another, and working together to build a powerful collegiate experience. Furthermore, Sigma Nu is not just four years, it’s for life.

Sigma Nu is an international fraternity spanning the United States and Canada with over 180 active chapters and over 160,000 living alumni. We were founded nearly 140 years ago, living our three core ideals of Love, Honor and Truth. Brothers from Sigma Nu have helped shape and change many aspects of our country today and are found in prominent leadership positions in the fields of business, entertainment, military, athletics, and government just to name a few.

People often associate hazing with fraternities. Sigma Nu is unique in the fact that we were founded based on honor, which stems from our founders rebelling against the common practice of hazing at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. That principle still holds true today.

Academics

When it comes to Academics, Sigma Nu takes things very seriously. We take pride in our scholarly achievements and it is important to the young men that we recruit. Since the founding of our great organization the ideas of bettering oneself through academia was and still is a great influence. The Delta Pi Chapter of Sigma Nu is no exception to these core values expressed by our founders. We believe that excellence in the academic world can be transferred into excellence in other areas of ones life. This is shown by the brothers every year and every semester when we push each other to be better students and better men. Through this core value of education, the brothers of Sigma Nu have proved themselves not only to the GW community but to our National Headquarters of our commitment to academics. We as a chapter have been recognized by both the GW Greek Community and our National Headquarters for having one of the best GPA’s of all Greek Organizations and chapters. We have received many awards and are proud to display them with honor. For instants, last year Sigma Nu Delta Pi beat all other Greek averages at GW (both male and female) when it comes to cumulative GPA. This is quite an achievement when you put it in perspective with the fact that we go to GW and the stereotype of the Greek Community and Organizations. We also received an award for excellent Academic Performance from our National Headquarters. Academics really mean a lot to us and we hope it means just as much to you. If this is true than you have come to the right place with Sigma Nu and we can’t wait to get to know you and show you what it means to excel with honor.
