Sigma Nu (ΣΝ) is an undergraduate college fraternity founded at the Virginia Military Institute in 1869. Since its founding, Sigma Nu has chartered more than 279 chapters across the United States and Canada and has initiated more than 235,000 members.[1] It is part of the Lexington Triad, a trio of national fraternities that were founded at colleges in Lexington, Virginia.
The fraternity's values are summarized by the principles of love, honor, and truth. Because of its military heritage, Sigma Nu retains many military trappings in its chapter ranks and traditions, and places importance on the concept of personal honor. The fraternity's mission statement is:
- To develop ethical leaders inspired by the principles of Love, Honor, and Truth.
- To foster the personal growth of each man's mind, heart, and character.
- To perpetuate lifelong friendships and commitment to the Fraternity.[2]
