"Sigma Nu Fraternity has given me the opportunity to grow and learn vital leadership skills outside of the classroom. This place is not only a home in which I feel welcomed and supported but also is a place that cultivates motivation and success for my life beyond college. The different programs like College of Chapters and Sigma Nu Institutes funded by Sigma Nu Educational Foundation enable this experience to happen and supplements my growth as a member of my chapter and a leader at my university. I can easily reflect on how much of an impact Sigma Nu has made on my life and I want to share this to my fellow Sigma Nu’s across the United States through my gift."- Spencer Davis (UC Davis)

The bond members have with Sigma Nu is special and lifelong, and the 1869 club is the perfect start for collegians to build a connection with an organization bigger than themselves. The undeniable need for leaders in our country largely depends on well-educated collegians and I cannot think of a better organization to support and shape the impactful men of our future." - Kingsley Smith (Mississippi)
