Aer returning to cam- pus in 2017, the brothers of the active colony have been blessed with the opportunity to rebuild the legacy of the fraternity's prede- cessors. In doing so, the colony strives to excel academically, sus- tain a stronger GPA comparatively to campus, maintain a mem- bership competitive with the campus IFC average, and ensure a functional, positive cash-flow budget. With these goals, the chapter is focused on becoming a "Rock Chapter," one of the highest honors a chapter of Sigma Nu can re- ceive. While emphasizing academics and lifelong learning as our primary purpose, coupled by the move back into our chapter house in fall 2019, we are working toward re-establishing our presence of academic, philanthropic, and social influence on campus. rough the dedicated executive board, well integrated committee system, and vision for fraternity, every day the chapter is closer to this real- ity. e chapter is grateful to have alumni of Beta Zeta supporting them and providing guidance in each step in this journey. 4 Riley Children's Hospital 2018 • Donated $3,100 in 2018. • Brother Jake Copas was the captain of the Dance Marathon Team. 2017 • Donated $1,780 in 2017. • Brother Everett Mitchel was the captain of the Dance Marathon Team.
