On October 18, brothers of the Nu Chapter at the University of Kansas dedicated their Saturday to service by volunteering with the university’s annual Big Event.

Nu Chapter recently celebrated a landmark moment in its history during this year’s Homecoming festivities, marked by the official ribbon cutting and dedication of its newly renovated chapter house—traditionally known as the Stubbs Mansion. The celebration commemorated the completion of a transformative three-year expansion and refurbishment project, the latest milestone in Nu Chapter’s storied 141-year history and its 103 years residing in the historic Governor’s mansion. Hundreds of alumni, undergraduate brothers, university officials, and guests—including Sigma Nu Divisional Commander Jeremy Edwards (Tulsa)—were on hand for the ceremony, which also featured house tours and recognition of the renovation steering committee. The $4 million capital project delivered sweeping enhancements, including a new entry and foyer, expanded dining hall, renovated chapter room, the Walter J. Sears Study Hall (honoring Nu #50 and author of the Creed of Sigma Nu), an ADA guest suite, new study rooms and lounge space, upgraded bathrooms, a revitalized entertainment area, and extensive millwork restoration throughout the 118-year-old home. Adding to the excitement, the renovation earned outside recognition from the American Institute of Architects, the world’s largest design organization (pictured). Submitted by KSQ Design, the collaborative work of KSQ Design and MarLan Construction was named a regional winner in the Historic Preservation category—an honor that underscores the project’s exceptional vision and execution.

On August 22, alumni and collegiate leaders of the Nu Chapter at the University of Kansas gathered at Hallbrook Country Club in Kansas City for the chapter’s annual Commander’s Dinner.

Current Alumnus of the Biennium honoree Mark Mustoe emceed the event, providing updates on the ongoing house renovation project and celebrating recent achievements. Special guests included Past Regent Maury Gaston (Auburn) and Division Commander Jeremy Edwards (Tulsa). Regent Gaston delivered keynote remarks, highlighting Nu Chapter’s historic legacy and notable initiates such as Walter James Sears and Bud Hinkle. The evening concluded with alumni offering words of advice and encouragement to the chapter’s executive council, reinforcing the strong bonds that connect Nu alumni and undergraduates across generations.
