I just returned from a Sigma Nu Alumni annual family trip to St. Simons Island. Our same group of 13 Eta Gamma’s have enjoyed Labor Day together for 10 years now, with our families. We host a small golf tournament. It’s fun watching the kids grow as we don’t get to see them as much as we want. Anyway, I thought you would like to know that many generations of the Eta Gamma alumni have these group outings as we reminisce about collegiate events from 25 years ago.

This year, the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) raised over 6.5 million dollars towards conquering childhood cancer. The Delta Delta chapter at Penn State raised over 15 thousand dollars towards this great cause.After months of the chapter canning in the streets and going door to door for pledges, two of our brothers danced for 46 hours straight in the marathon. The dancers in this grueling marathon must stay standing for 46 hours straight without fail. Brothers Aviel Braustein and Pat Thompson feel that this is one of the most rewarding things they have accomplished in their lives so far. The Delta Delta chapter is proud to be a part of this great cause and are planning to work even harder to raise funds next year. All of the proceeds for THON go to the The Four Diamonds Fund at the Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The funds raised go to helping the families of children afflicted with cancer pay for any costs that are associated with their child's treatment. |

Submitted by: Adam Pratt Chapter: Gamma Alpha University: Georgia Tech The Gamma Alpha Chapter of Sigma Nu is proud to boast of a banner fall semester. We started the semester by moving into a brand new $4 million house. We had to overcome the challenge of only having a week to move-in before rush started. However, by the end of rush week, we had our second most successful rush (since the early 90s) with the acceptance of 23 bids. By the end of our candidate process we inducted 20 new brothers. Upon the induction of our new members, we reached our 2000th initiated brother (the last chapter number in this candidate class was 2006). Our chapter size is now somewhere between 95-100 strong. In addition to this Gamma Alpha turned 111 years old on November 25th, 2007. On a side note, we had 6 of our fall intramural teams make it to the fraternity play-offs (Ultimate-Frisbee, Soccer, Bowling, Billiards, Sand Volleyball, and Volleyball). Our Billiards team won first place for All Fraternities, which was our second intramural team to do so in 2007. The other intramural team to do so was our 3-on-3 basketball team, which did so in the spring of 2007. |

Submitted by: John H. Fenner Chapter: Phi University: LSU Phi Chapter has returned to the campus of Louisiana State University. After four years of suspended status, Phi has, with invaluable support from National, as well as a multitude of dedicated alumni, welcomed over forty candidates, approximately half of which are scheduled to become actives in March of '08. In addition, an aggressive Fundraising campaign has netted hundreds of thousands of dollars, and has prompted significant renovations to Phi Chapter's house. A Grand Opening is scheduled for Friday night, September 21, 2007. Regent Jay Pitts is expected to honor Phi with his presence in welcoming the chapter back to the Sigma Nu brotherhood. |
