Happy Holidays!
Take a Minute This Season and Call an old Friend
The final phase of the holiday season is officially upon us and things are busy, busy busy! It’s easy to forget why we do all this rushing around and spending every year considering the stress we put ourselves through. There is really no better time in the year to finally make that call to your Psi Brother that you have been meaning to make and no better time to help the Chapter. You never know when that simple call or text to an old friend this time of year could make all the difference in the world.

Holiday Greetings
Thankful for Psi Brotherhood
We want to wish all of our current Psi Chapter undergraduates as well as all of our alumni Happy Holidays. With Thanksgiving over, the holiday season is officially upon us. It is always a time of reflection, celebration, memories and most importantly; gratitude. Whether you will be traveling to visit with family, meeting up with some alumni Brothers for a drink or if you are a student staying close to campus to catch up on work over the holidays, we hope that you enjoy your time and get a chance to relax.

Halloween 2018
Know Any Good Ghost Stories?
Every university in America has folklore. There have always been stories about haunted libraries and apparitions wandering the dorms. UNC is no different and there is no other time of year better suited to share these stories and legends than October. With Halloween right around the corner, we want to ask if any of you have any scary or unexplained stories from your days with Psi at UNC.

Fall is for Football
Brothers Gather for Pittsburgh Game
We had our first tailgate of the season Saturday the 22nd for the game against Pittsburgh. The event was a big success; we had a lot of old alumni back at the house and everyone seemed to have a great time.
Why We Still Support Sigma Nu
Some Thoughts On Why We Still Give
Sigma Nu graciously thanks all of the Brothers who have given to our Annual Fund in the past, as well as this year. As a reminder, the Annual Fund runs from September 1 through August 31 each year, and supports the cost of alumni communications and events, house renovations, and Chapter resources on a yearly basis. There is still time to give so please, consider even a small gift as a way to show your support.
Have you ever asked yourself why you give? Is it part of your charitable routine? Do you believe in affording the next generation of young men the same experience you had with Sigma Nu? Whatever the case, we again, thank you. Here are some reasons we collected from past surveys of other Sigma Nu members from various Chapters around the country about why they have and continue to give back to our organization:

Re-Visiting 1991 Psi
