Welcome to the Eta Tau Chapter of Sigma Nu
Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas
Founded in 1869 at VMI, Sigma Nu was built on the principles of Love, Truth and Honor.
Sigma Nu's past is a proud and colorful one. Founded by three cadets at the Virginia Military Institute in a period of civil strife known as the Reconstruction, Sigma Nu represented a radical departure from the times. The system of physical abuse and hazing of underclassmen at VMI led to James Frank Hopkins, Greenfield Quarles, and James McIlvaine Riley to form the "Legion of Honor" which soon became Sigma Nu Fraternity. So, amidst a backdrop of turmoil, North America's first "Honor" fraternity was established.
The Delta is the major publication of Sigma Nu Fraternity published and distributed to all collegians and alumni. Inside you will find alumni news, reports from yearly functions, special messages from important personnel at Headquarters, and fascinating articles on Sigma Nus around the world.
