Year-Round Recruitment

 

     

      Hello, and welcome to our Recruitment site!  There is a lot of valuable information posted here that will guide you in the decision making process of joining a fraternity.  We, the brothers of the Kappa Zeta chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity at Villanova University, encourage you to explore our website, come out to our Recruitment events, meet our brothers, and contact us with any questions or concerns that you may have.  We recruit 365 days a year, so feel free to talk to our brothers about our great fraternity at any point in the year. 

      Before continuing, we would like to let you know that rushing our fraternity or any other in no way obligates you to join the organization.  When a bid is formally accepted on the Bid Night of that semester, then the individual has committed to the process of becoming a brother.
