o Philanthropic work and community involvement
· What does Sigma Nu value: Sigma Nu values brotherhood above all else. We are a fraternity, not a drinking hall or social club. We view our institution as a support network and space that does whatever it can for its brothers
· Who are we looking for? People who add value to our brotherhood. This could be through excellent academic, athletic, or philanthropic achievement outside of the brotherhood, or, equally if not more important, stern dedication to the brotherhood. Rush is your chance to show us why you belong in our brotherhood and our chance to show you what sorts of values we espouse.
