The Journey to Rock Chapter

Sigma Nu Fraternity was founded in 1869 at Virginia Military Institute and is headquartered in Lexington, Virginia. The fraternity currently has 172 active chapters on college campuses across North America and has initiated over 230,000 members since its inception. Although the Gamma Chapter of Sigma Nu has established itself as a presence on Duke’s campus, our fraternity is not in the business of complacency. The next step is to demonstrate our excellence on a national stage. 

 

The Rock Chapter Award is meant to honor collegiate chapters that have achieved excellence in all areas of chapter operations. To be granted the award, a chapter should be expected to attain the ideals or a nearly perfect state across a broad range of areas of fraternity operations. It should also be noted that risk management and behavioral issues are included in the judging process. In addition, to win the award, a chapter should be expected to maintain a state of excellence for a given period of time, not just for a semester of one school year. Furthermore, the award once granted, should not be considered recognition for future achievement and is only presented at Grand Chapters, (i.e. every two years). Rock Chapter award recipients will be those chapters that consistently achieve very good to excellent ratings in the Pursuit of Excellence Program over the course of the biennium.

 

For the 2013-2014 academic year, the Gamma chapter recieved this Rock Chapter Status for all of our great work. Following our submission of our Pursuit of Excellence for the 2012-2013 academic year, we received the following awards, including excellent ratings in every applicable category: 

 

 

  • Manpower Award (Above 80 Men) - 82 Men
