FAQ: Why join ΣΝ?
Answer: We the brothers of the Kappa Zeta Chapter of Sigma Nu could sit here and tell you what a lot of the other fraternities will say when it comes to explaining why you should join their organization. Of course, we have fantastic brotherhood, lifelong friendships, and spiritual support guided by our Chaplain. We believe that this is especially important since we all attend a Catholic, Augustinian institution such as Villanova. In addition, we place a high emphasis on our academic success, both individually and as a chapter. We also have a social regimen that includes informal cocktails, mixers with sororities, theme parties, ticket events, and formals. Additionally, our efforts in the area of philanthropy have included basketball tournaments co-sponsored with a sorority to fight breast cancer, participation in Special Olympics, and other events to benefit prostate cancer research.
