The Quarterly

In June, Brother Nate Kirschman of the Epsilon Mu Chapter at Butler University was featured by the university as part of their “Current Bulldog Stories” series for the positive impact fraternity membership has had on his collegiate experience and leadership development. A finance and economics major from Cleveland, Ohio, Kirschman credited Sigma Nu with providing a supportive community that encouraged him to become involved across campus, step outside his comfort zone, and pursue leadership opportunities he never imagined before college. Serving as the chapter’s Lieutenant Commander, he developed valuable leadership and communication skills by motivating brothers to engage in service, alumni relations, and chapter activities. Kirschman also highlighted Sigma Nu’s commitment to academic accountability, service, and philanthropy, noting that the brotherhood has played a central role in both his personal growth and sense of belonging at Butler.

Over the week of October 27-31, the Epsilon Mu Chapter at Butler University raised an impressive $17,100 through its annual Voodoo Week philanthropy. The weeklong effort featured pumpkin carving, a banner competition, a spikeball tournament, lawn games, and a lip-sync competition, with proceeds benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, a national nonprofit dedicated to saving lives through research, education, advocacy, and support for those affected by suicide.

On Thursday, September 25, the Epsilon Mu Chapter at Butler University collaborated with Redbull for a sponsored philanthropy event, Bags & Bites. The event brought out Butler students for food and a bags/cornhole tournament, with proceeds benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
