The Sigma Nu Hall of Honor pays tribute to brothers whose distinguished service has provided enduring strength and vitality to the Fraternity. Induction into the Hall of Honor represents the Fraternity’s highest distinction.
To be eligible for induction into the Sigma Nu Hall of Honor, a brother must meet all of the following qualifications:
- He must have distinguished himself in his profession or field in a manner that brings great credit to the Fraternity.
- He must have rendered distinctive service of vital consequence to the progress and well-being of the Fraternity.
- If living, he must have attained at least 50 years of age.
Selected by a special committee, each new member of the Hall of Honor is announced at Grand Chapter. Inductees receive a commemorative certificate, a medallion to be worn on significant fraternal occasions, and the enduring recognition and esteem of the Legion of Honor. A chronological listing of Hall of Honor inductees can be found here: List of Hall of Honor Inductees
