The women of Chi Omega, who will be our new partners for this year's performance, will equally match our talent, hard work, and creativity. Thank you for supporting us by attending the annual performances. Chapter GPA Reaches 3.11 Recruitment was another great success. This year provided a difficult challenge of choosing between a large number of qualified men. Athletic talent, academic ability, and charismatic personality are among the long list of words I would use to describe the 29 gentlemen that make up the class of 2013. Our final GPA was 3.11. Harry Schaefer '13, Nu 2334, scholarship chairman, is excited to build upon this with many innovative ideas to keep improving academic performance. Enhancing Our Success At every milestone, I find myself humbled by the achievements of my brothers in Nu Chapter. I am honored to begin another semester leading these men to success. The importance of the support of each lifelong member of Sigma Nu is something that will never be taken for granted. Alumni, thank you for all that you do. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming chapter events. Cody Weyhoffen Olathe, Kan.
