The Chapter is in its strongest state in decades and at its largest size perhaps ever, boasting 196 men of Jordan Standard quality. Our success stretches beyond the grounds of 2701 Nueces, including a top-three ranking in fraternity cumulative grade point average and brothers' involvement in student government, Texas athletic teams, internships at the state capitol, the Texas Cowboys and Silver Spurs, and more. Through brotherhood events such as billiards tournaments, chapter ranch retreats, and paintball outings we have been able to maintain brotherhood and unity despite our large numbers. National Award Recipient Since reinstallation, the Alpha Nu Chapter of Sigma Chi has developed a fierce dedication to the ritual and the teachings of our seven founders. This dedication and strict adherence to the essence of Sigma Chi has led to the aforementioned success and the reception of the Peterson Significant Chapter Award from Headquarters for two consecutive years. Chapter Reaches Record Numbers in Membership Alpha Nu Members Dedicated to Ritual Teachings A Year of Success This past year has been filled with success for Alpha Nu. Through Derby Days and Fight Night we raised over $67,000 for charities, including the B+ Foundation and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We also completed the dining room expansion project and initiated 55 new brothers into the Chapter. Alumni Welcome We look forward to continuing our efforts to reconnect with our alumni and show that the Chapter is as strong today as it has ever been.
