| Sigma Nu's past is a proud and colorful one. Founded by three cadets at the Virginia Military Institute in a period of civil strife known as the Reconstruction, Sigma Nu represented a radical departure from the times. The system of physical abuse and hazing of underclassmen at VMI led our founding fathers to form the "Legion of Honor" which soon became Sigma Nu Fraternity. So, amidst a backdrop of turmoil, North America's first "Honor" fraternity was established. Sigma Nu, Theta Xi Chapter of Virginia Tech has maintained the traditions set forth by our founders since November 14, 1971 and continue to believe in the life of love, walk in the way of honor, and serve in the light of truth. | |||
