Chapter Bylaws | 08/2012 The purpose of the New Member Development Plan is to instill personal, intellectual, school, and fraternal pride in our new members so that they can become better men and initiates of Sigma Nu. |
Developing Men into Better Men
This is a fraternity of Men not boys. If that is true, than why have a pledge period? In Sigma Nu you pledge to become a better man. You can only do that through dedication and learning. We have developed a plan to help our candidates grow in maturity and confidence. This is not the pledge education you see on TV. In fact - this is an education that is unique to EMU Sigma Nu. It was written and developed over decades by men who lived and learned what it takes to make a Sigma Nu. Can it make you a better man?

What's a Big Brother?The purpose of the Big Brother Program is to provide candidates with mentors to help and guide them during their candidacy and beyond. They are picked by matching the needs of the new member with the strengths of the initiated member. Being brothers is a serious commitment - a candidate cannot easily get a new big brother. They are mentors, friends, and accountability. It is mandatory for brothers to study together and get to know each other.

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR HAZING
HAZING - ANY ACTION TAKEN OR SITUATION CREATED, INTENTIONALLY, WHETHER ON OR OFF FRATERNITY PREMISES, TO PRODUCE MENTAL OR PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT, EMBARRASSMENT, HARASSMENT, OR RIDICULE.
People often associate hazing with fraternities. Sigma Nu is unique in the fact that we were founded based on honor, which stems from our founders rebelling against the common practice of hazing at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. That principle still holds true today.
The Fraternal Staff works very hard to educate our undergraduate and alumni members on the importance of teaching our Candidates (new members) through activities free of hazing, primarily our LEAD Program (Leadership, Ethics, Achievement, Development). Sigma Nu has made available an anti-hazing hotline and e-mail address to anonymously report acts of hazing. This service has been made available not only to our undergraduate members, but to you as well. Should you believe that your son is being hazed, we encourage you to contact us 24 hours a day by calling the hotline at: 1-800-993-1869 or by sending an e-mail to: [email protected].
