The Quarterly

Brothers from the Eta Nu Chapter at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette gave back to their campus community through the university’s annual Big Event, the institution’s largest day of service. Designed as a campus-wide “thank you” to the Lafayette community, the Big Event brings together students, faculty, staff, and alumni to complete service projects across the area.

Eta Nu alumnus Doug Comeaux and his wife, Rachel Comeaux, were selected as Emperor Napoleon XLIX and Empress Josephine XLIX for the 2026 Krewe of Bonaparte Mardi Gras in Lafayette. One of the city’s premier Mardi Gras traditions since 1972, the Krewe of Bonaparte hosts an annual parade and Coronation Ball during the height of Carnival season. Brother Comeaux proudly represented Sigma Nu while presiding over this year’s festivities and celebrating a cherished Louisiana tradition.

On October 16, Eta Nu Chapter alumnus Mike Fruge was recognized by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University College. On hand to celebrate Brother Fruge was fellow Eta Nu alumnus Dan Hare (far left), who serves as the university alumni association’s Director of Community Engagement.
