A resolution was passed by the 61st Grand Chapter in the summer of 2004 to establish the Founders' Week-of-Service. The primary objective of the Founders' Week-of-Service is to serve as a time of year when all Sigma Nu members are called upon to employ their services, talents and time to the benefit of charitable organizations across the world.
This year's Founders' Week-of-Service will be held between March 31, 2008 and April 6, 2008.
For Sigma Nu chapters wishing to take part in the Helping Hand Initiative, the Founders' Week-of-Service offers multiple avenues of participation. First, any chapter conducting community service or hosting a philanthropic event, benefiting ANY charitable organization (local, state, national or global), during the Founders' Week-of-Service will qualify as a Helping Hand participant by reporting its efforts and/or events online. The chapter should inform Sigma Nu Headquarters about the event prior to its taking place by making a commitment to participation in the Helping Hand Initiative with our Commitment Form.
Second, a chapter participating with a Helping Hand Partner during the Founders' Week-of-Service will be considered as a participant in the Helping Hand Initiative by reporting its efforts and/or events online.
