Sigma Nu was founded in 1869 by three cadets at the Virginia Military Institute upon the principles of Love, Truth, and Honor. At the time, hazing practices were allowed at VMI, and the cadets banned this practice, making it a pioneer among fraternities.

National Organization
The Sigma Nu National Chapter supports the Delta Theta Chapter in meeting its high standards by offering resources such as training and advice for chapter leaders to address challenges and promote the chapter.

Social
The chapter sponsors fun social events where brothers get to know one another and strengthen the bonds of fraternity. Other social events are open to non-members from campus.

Leadership and Teamwork
Sigma Nu also teaches brothers leadership skills that last a lifetime. Brothers become ethical leaders of integrity by participating in many opportunities to lead chapter programs and through its comprehensive LEAD program, designed to meet the unique needs and learning styles of our collegiate members by focusing on in-person facilitated workshops on topics relevant to their year in school and experience in the chapter, campus, and community.
