Family Legacy Lives on at Sigma Nu
By Joe Moye ’63
My dad was Psi 233 and he first introduced me to Psi chapter in 1947 after a football game. Two of his cousins and many of his friends, including the band leader and movie star Kay Kyser who was his roommate one year, were Sigma Nus. Their memories and stories of college life got better if not more believable each time I heard them.
I grew up determined to attend Carolina and meeting Joe Quigg ’58 and Pete Brennan ’58 at Camp Sea Gull in 1955 erased any doubt I might have had that I wanted to pledge Sigma Nu. My sons Todd ’92 and Will ’95 were raised in Atlanta to become Tar Heels and I am proud that they became brothers at Psi chapter also. Maybe Todd’s sons will be fourth generation Psi brothers and Will’s daughter will be a White Star Princess one day.

Spring Break Trip of a Lifetime
Taylor Dameworth Spends Break Helping Others & Honing Professional Skills
Undergrad member Taylor Dameworth (Psi 1844) didn’t spend his spring break on the beach like you might think. Instead, he took the spring break trip of a lifetime, gaining valuable professional experience and serving others in need. Below, he recounts his incredible experience.
“Over Spring Break, I had the amazing opportunity of crossing cultures and venturing to the Dominican Republic with UNC’s chapter of Global Medical Training. The 30-person group of pre-medical and pre-dental students spent four days traversing the beautiful landscape to provide clinics for remote villages dispersed throughout massive sugar cane plantations…”
