To believe in the life of love, To walk in the way of honor, To serve in the light of truth This is the Life, the Way, and the Light of Sigma Nu This is the creed of our fraternity
Sigma Nu's past is a proud and colorful one. Founded by three cadets at the Virginia Military Institute in a period of civil strife known as the Reconstruction, Sigma Nu represented a radical departure from the times. The system of physical abuse and hazing of underclassmen at VMI led to James Frank Hopkins, Greenfield Quarles, and James McIlvaine
Riley to form the "Legion of Honor" which soon became Sigma Nu Fraternity. So, amidst a backdrop of turmoil, North America's first "Honor" fraternity was established.
The Mu Iota Chapter was founded at the University Of Hartford in 1994
Sigma Nu is one of the most diverse brotherhoods on campus having brothers from every major on campus as well as being involved in many different activities and community service.
To develop ethical leaders inspired by the principles of Love, Honor and Truth.
