Sigma Nu Fraternity at The University of Southern Mississippi

Founded at Southern Miss in 1969, Theta Gamma was chartered exactly 100 years after Sigma Nu’s birth. At Virginia Military Institute, in 1869, a small group of incoming freshmen decided that they shouldn’t have to perform demeaning acts to gain acceptance in an oppressive student organization.Thus, Sigma Nu was created in opposition to hazing and emphasized moral leadership. The belief that men should be treated as men, and the idea that development can take place outside of the classroom, carry on today through Theta Gamma Chapter. You can see this in our Candidate Program; which provides you, not with the burden of being a subservient “pledge”, but with the needed tools to be an effective Active member of Sigma Nu.
