One of the most important facets of a fraternity experience, if not the most important, is brotherhood. All of us could define brotherhood differently and exactly what it means to any one individual, but the fact is that you really can't fully describe it unless you've experienced it yourself. Brotherhood is a lot of things. Taking a brother to the airport, picking them up and driving them home, talking about relationships with brothers, working out together, studying together, playing on the same intramural team, knowing you have friends for life that have walked down the same road with you are all examples of brotherhood.

Obviously, all of our brothers have friends outside of the fraternity as well. In fact, they are very good friends but just have not joined Sigma Nu. You can establish great friendships with people even if they are not in the same fraternity as you. With that said, your fraternity brothers are the ones who will be there for you and those that you can count on no matter what. Moreover, our brotherhood extends well beyond just our current active brothers. Since we have over 400 alumni, we have great relationships with those members as well (see Alumni page). Once again, we could sit here and tell you honestly what a lot of fraternities tell prospective members about brotherhood. The truth is words cannot 100% explain the meaning and value of brotherhood. Once you meet our men and spend time with them, you will be able to 'see' our brotherhood, and we hope prospective members see the fruits of our fraternal bond based on Love, Honor, and Truth and will want to be a part of that.
