ecal the first time you walked in the fraternity house. Whether
on Littleton or Tower Drive, we all can envision walking
through the door into a group of welcoming brothers.
Accepting our bids altered the course of our lives more than we could
have imagined.
Founded in 1891, Sigma Nu has influenced the lives of over 2,200
men in West Lafayette at Purdue University by creating an experience
that teaches lessons not learned in a classroom. In addition to
the high standards taught by our fraternity, membership in Beta
Zeta teaches valuable skills—leadership, teamwork, and personal
integrity. ese traits have been integral to each of our successes and
have made us the men we are today. In addition, many of our most
cherished memories involve our brothers from Beta Zeta and the
chapter house we called home.
While there are understandable differences in today's campus culture,
the fundamental values of Sigma Nu stand the test of time at Purdue.
ese skills have never been more important in today's culture and
campus landscape.
The Legacy of Beta Zeta
"e fraternity in and of itself had the greatest
impact on me and my life. I learned so much
about life skills, Love, Honor and Truth I
couldn't get in a classroom. I've met Sigma Nus
from across the country who are now my best friends."
