Welcome
WELCOME
Welcome to the Sigma Nu - Gamma Sigma Alumni website. This updated website along with the bi-annual news letter and the new "Blog" site (blog = web log, i.e. to write entries in and maintain a weblog) serve as the primary points of information for the alumni and friends of Gamma Sigma. This website will be updated on a regular basis in an effort to keep the streams of communication open. The new blog site is a way for the entire membership to:
- Take an active role in the chapter from a distance.
- Share ideas on topics related to the chapter.
- Provide another resource to locate missing brothers.
- Let brothers know where you are and what you have been up to.
- Share in our brotherhood of Sigma Nu.
- It will replace our Yahoo message group
We are continuing to investigate new features that can be added to the website to improve your online experience.
A Little History...and...A Bright Future
The Gamma Sigma Chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity was chartered on the Iowa State University campus in Ames, Iowa in 1904 and has the distinction of being the oldest fraternity at this university. Since its founding nearly a century ago approximately 1,200 men have been initiated into the Legion of Honor. Several alumni have consistently worked to maintain a viable and growing alumni group even though the undergraduate chapter has been inactive since 1998.
Brother Frederick "Fritz"
Raab (GS772) has been the President of the Gamma Sigma Alumni Association
from 1998 through 2007 and has
worked diligently to lead a dedicated group toward two primary
goals:
- Maintain and grow a viable Alumni Association.
- Recolonize the Chapter at ISU with the support of this Alumni Association.
Brother Ted Hollander (GS703) is our new President and Brother Raab has taken over duties as Treasurer
At the 2007 homecoming reunion several brothers expressed a strong desire to contribute their time and talents toward the mission of recolonizing the undergraduate chapter at ISU. We are now reaching out to the general membership for your input on the recolonization effort. We want your involvement and please understand we will not be asking you for your money. In order for the chapter to be permanently successful we first must show the young men we will be recruiting that the alumni are committed to our pledge to Love, Honor and Truth.
You will soon be receiving a letter in the mail that will include a questionnaire. In the letter you will also be given the option of going onto the blog site and providing us with you information and interest in the recolonization process whether it is serving and an active chapter advisor or as an active alumni supporting the process and ongoing success of the chapter. As we all know the success of any great fraternity is two fold with great undergraduate members and great committed alumni.
Please check out the rest of the website, visit the "Chapter" page, "Re-Establishment" page and the blog site to find out who to contact about how you can become more involved with your Gamma Sigma Chapter of Sigma Nu.
