 Parents Weekend Crawfish Boil
|
Thank you for showing an interest in the fraternity choice your son might make during rush. Sigma Nu holds the interest of families in the highest regard. We host events every semester for parents and alumni when they can come meet the brothers of Sigma Nu and ask any question they might want answered. Below you will find answers to some of the most common questions parents ask when their son is making a decision to rush.
Will my son's grades drop?
- Every fraternity has academic standards at which they require members to meet a certain GPA. Sigma Nu holds a mandatory study hall several days a week during which the candidates and several active brothers are supervised by the Candidate Marshall for two to three hours at a time.
- Brothers in the chapter are more than willing to help a candidate or fellow members out with a class or homework. We have a variety of academic majors in the chapter. The member can provide tutoring or mentoring to candidates regarding a specific class or even give informal advice that can prove to be invaluable. Older members can give insight about certain classes, the best order to take classes to obtain a specific major, or even aid in the selection of classes or a certain teacher during registration periods.
- Candidates are required to sign up for the university early alert program where grades are sent to students after mid-semester. In addition, candidates are encouraged to use the Student Success Center to find tutors or address academic concerns.

Will my son get hazed?
- While many fraternities have no hazing policies, Sigma Nu is the only fraternity which was specifically founded on the principle of no hazing. You can view our history page to learn the story behind Sigma Nu's conception and its dedication to no hazing.
- The number of fraternities recognized by accredited colleges around the country increases every year. However, Sigma Nu is one of only eighteen fraternities recognized as an honor fraternity. An honor fraternity is recognized as such because it has an education plan that helps teach and promote ethical and moral practices by all members.
