As the holidays and the end of 2015 rapidly approach, a few of our alumni have offered their thoughts about what makes Sigma Nu at UNC “a wonderful life.” They share the same sentiment as does the holiday underdog, George Bailey, from It’s a Wonderful Life.

4 Critical Steps for Fraternities Nationwide – What Do You Think?

This month, we have asked our alumni relations partner to give us some insight on a few trends that are helping fraternities nationwide innovate and swing the pendulum from suspension to some of the smartest management the Greek community has seen in decades.

In today’s world, the fraternities who are raising the most money, engaging the most alumni and racking up the strongest recruiting classes are NOT those with the best parties or the happiest story.
