SPOTLIGHT
Memories Etched in Stone

Friends of Chuck Kitchen (Georgia State) would describe him as one of the most fun-loving men they ever knew. They say he never complained, never said a bad word and was an inspiration to all who knew him. And they would give anything to hear his voice once more or have him back for just one more weekend at the beach.

Don Martin (Georgia State) and Chuck Kitchen were friends long before pledging Sigma Nu in college. In the chapter they grew close with two other brothers: Mims Davis (Georgia State) and Greg Jordan (Georgia State).
After graduating in 1973 and '74 they were all involved in each others' weddings and, for a few years after college, managed to maintain a relatively tight bond.

As time passed, however, their contact was reduced to Christmas card updates and calls every year or so. As they moved further away from each other geographically and started their own families, the couples inadvertently began to drift apart. It was the phone call that came in August 2003 that finally brought them back together again.


PROGRAM PROFILE
GOLD Program Surpasses the 1,000 Donor Mark!

Young Sigma Nu alumni are demonstrating their loyalty to The Legion of Honor by giving to the Foundation at a greater level than any other generation at their age since Sigma Nu's founding. Tim Huffmyer (Michigan State) is not only Sigma Nu's Grand Treasurer, but his recent gift to the Foundation was the 1000th GOLD contribution since the program was launched in 2002.

The Foundation unveiled the GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decades) Program to educate young alumni about the important funding needs of the Fraternity. Through the GOLD Program, young alumni have the opportunity to interact with the Sigma Nu Foundation on a more personal level.
