Did you know that it takes $7.71 to provide for one minute of Sigma Nu's operations? That's right only $7.71 to give our undergraduate members leadership training, scholarship assistance, and educational programs that are without equal in the Greek community. Sigma Nu serves over 8000 undergraduates on almost 200 college and university campuses every day. That's less than $1.40 per student per day!

Because of the generosity of our alumni, Sigma Nu's undergraduate members have the opportunity to experience some of the best leadership training programs available. Whether these opportunities are on the local chapter level, a part of regional Fraternity meetings, or national Fraternity conferences, Sigma Nu continues to improve the quality and quantity of experiences to prepare members for leading in the world after graduation. For instance, this past year, the Fraternity held 18 regional LEAD Institutes educating over 510 undergraduate leaders. Through the LEAD Institute's interactive curriculum, participants learn the basics of effective facilitation and receive hands-on experience in facilitating experiential learning activities and exercises. The Fraternity plans to expand the number of LEAD Institutes to 21 this academic year and 24 next year based upon available funding.

Without the support of loyal alumni, through tax-deductible contributions to the Sigma Nu Educational Foundation, the Fraternity would not be able to continue developing and maintaining these programs.

The partnerships include the following organizations:


A gift of $77.10 keeps Sigma Nu ticking for 10 minutes
A gift of $231.30 keeps Sigma Nu ticking for 30 minutes
A gift of $462.60 keeps Sigma Nu ticking for 60 minutes
A gift of $11,102.40 keeps Sigma Nu ticking for 1 day

Remember that each gift, no matter the size, helps to make a big difference in the lives of our collegiate Brothers. I hope that you can spare a few minutes for The Legion of Honor! Click here to make your gift today!

Note: As reported in the January issue of The Rock, by contributing monthly via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), many alumni find that they are able to make a larger annual gift to support Sigma Nu. EFT gifts also help the Foundation with budgeting and cash flow.
