Why Go Greek?
"Joining a fraternity is way
more than choosing a place to live. It is making the decision to become
part of a group of men dedicated to make each other's life in college
as good as it can possibly be. Fraternities complement your life at
[the University of Hartford] by offering you a very tight community. A
community of brothers that will have fun with you and support you. As a
result, you will make friendships and bonds that last a lifetime.
Over half of the male undergraduate population at
[the University of Hartford] has chosen to join a fraternity, as have a
number of other individuals. Over 3/4ths of the US
Senators and Congressmen were in a fraternity, as well as over 85% of
Fortune 500 executives. And while it may seem trite to
say it: All these people can't be wrong.
A fraternity can provide a great place to be amongst
people with similar interests and goals. For me, personally, there's
nothing like playing intramural sports with your fraternity team! So
come take a look at the Greek system, even if you weren't thinking you
would. If you'd like to come check us out, give us a call and we'll
show you what it's like to be part of the closest thing to a family
that you'll find at college."

What makes
Sigma Nu different from the rest?
We could say that it is the size of
our membership, our ethical leadership program entitled LEAD, possibly
our military heritage, or even our unique founding in opposition to
hazing that makes us different from other fraternities. But the simple
quality that sets us apart from any other fraternity in existence is
Honor. In fact, Sigma Nu is the only fraternity in existence that was
founded upon the Principle of Honor, and it remains so today.

Why don't my
parents like fraternities?
Many parents have falsely
stereotyped fraternities because of the media's portrayal the Greek
system. To fight these stereotypes, encourage your parents to research
the purpose of fraternities or to visit the campus, meet members of the
brotherhood, talk to local alumni, and visit our web site. It is
important to understand that Sigma Nu was established to develop young
men as leaders and well-rounded students.

What is Sigma
Nu's policy on hazing?
Sigma Nu has a strict
non-hazing policy. Remember, our founding fathers met and
established this fraternity in strict opposition to the practice of
hazing. Therefore, the hypocrisy of hazing should and will never be
tolerated by our National Organization.

What is
the difference between a pledge and a member?
The difference between a candidate
(official term for pledge), and a member are minimal. A candidate and a
member are offered the same opportunities within the group. Each has
the opportunity to share his opinions and ideas. Each has opportunities
for leadership and personal growth. Both have the choice to become
involved in other activities on campus and within the community. The
real difference between the two revolves around the knowledge about
Sigma Nu and its values and principles. These are things that you will
be taught during your candidate period.
