Did you know. . . that you can have guaranteed income for life and help further the Sigma Nu mission? With the stock market and investment income fluctuations wouldn't it be great to know that you can lock in a guaranteed rate of income for the remainder of your life?

 
  "We Do This for Others" (August 28, 1952)


With the slogan "We do this for others," delegates
at the thirty-fifth Grand Chapter in Mackinac Island, Mich., are in
unanimous agreement to both improve the public image of our organization and help others along the way.

 
 
Founders' Week of Service to Lend a Helping Hand

Imagine working for an organization whose sole purpose is to benefit others. . . Every day you go to work and your only responsibility is to do something that will help those around you. The organization's mission is not to "increase profits," but, rather, to treat a debilitating disease, to help the homeless become homeowners, or to aid today's youth in defining and understanding their personal ethics and values.

For many of our undergraduate members, living such a purposeful life in today's world, especially while balancing the day-to-day demands of academia, is something they find elusive. However, during our Founders' Week of Service (March 26th through April 1st), our undergraduate members will have the opportunity to "Serve in the Light of Truth" and give something back to their communities.

Transitioning from Campus Life to the Real World

Earlier this year, the Sigma Nu Educational Foundation launched Transitions, an online newsletter designed for soon-to-be and recent graduates. James Owens, Executive Vice President said, "Transitions is a series of 24 monthly newsletters which will offer articles to
help our 20-something brothers navigate between college life and the real world. This is an important and often difficult time for many graduates. This is the time when many will move from being the BMOC (Big Man On Campus) to the low man on the totem pole."
