Sigma Nu, the honor fraternity, was founded in 1869 at Virginia Military Institute. For more than 110 years, the Delta Theta chapter at Knox has been a prominent leader in academics, sports and community service. Sigma Nu’s mission continues today to develop ethical and honorable leaders of society through the development of the minds, hearts and characters of its members.

History in Galesburg

The oldest chapter of a fraternity on the Knox College campus, Sigma Nu was originally founded as Delta Theta, a local fraternity at nearby Lombard College in 1861. In 1891, Delta Theta became affiliated with the national Sigma Nu Fraternity. The Chapter was allowed to keep Delta Theta as its chapter designation, even though it is out of sequence with the other national chapters.

Reputation

Sigma Nu's have a reputation for being super nerdy that extends beyond the Knox chapter. Some people call it "Sigma nerd". However, if you are a woman and looking for fraternity parties where you will not be sexually harassed, it is the natural choice.

Chapter House

The Sigma Nu chapter house is located at 556 S. West Street across from the Quad loading dock.
