Sigma Nu is, first and foremost, a brotherhood. The friendships and memories
that are formed here last a lifetime. Fraternity, for us, is about supporting
one another and working together to build a richer college experience. For a
glimpse of all the great experiences we offer our members, please feel free to
browse the rest of our website. We're confident you'll agree that no college
experience is complete without the unique and exciting opportunities that Sigma
Nu has to offer.
Sigma Nu is one of America's largest fraternities, with hundreds of chapters and
hundreds of thousands of brothers at different college campuses across the
nation. Founded in 1869 at the Virginia Military Institute, our founders,
James Hopkins, Greenfield Quarles, and James Riley were deeply averse to the
rampant hazing that is typical at such military institutions, and founded Sigma
Nu as an anti-hazing fraternity. Often referred to as the "Legion of Honor,"
Sigma Nu rests on three core ideals of Love, Truth, and Honor.
Our chapter's charter date of 1995 makes us one of the youngest fraternities at
MIT. In just over a decade, we've built a fraternity full of cool traditions,
ambition, and great people. We pride ourselves on being a diverse group of brothers.
No matter what your interests, you're sure to find people here who share them.
