Season’s greetings from the brothers of Sigma Nu. As we turn the calendar to the New Year, we are busy preparing for spring rush in late January of 2026, looking to bring in the next class of young men who will become a part of our brotherhood. We currently have nearly a full house of brothers living and dining at 230 Willard Way. Many thanks to the current brothers, undergraduate officers, and alumni who have supported our efforts to regain our standing as the best house on the hill.
We are building on this momentum and launched an important new giving campaign: Building Our Future, Honoring Our Past. This effort is vital to ensure that our now 115-year-old chapter house continues to stand strong. Our goal is to raise $300,000 during the 2025–2026 school year to fund a series of improvements and restoration work, including exterior painting, bathroom upgrades, roof and gutter replacement, and more. The campaign is off to a strong start, with $160,000 raised through December 1, 2025, with two alumni brothers committing to match dollar for dollar the first $50,000 each in giving by other alumni. You can join other alumni now by paying your dues, by making an additional Building Our Future contribution to the Gamma Theta Property Association, or by making a donation to our Fall Creek Leadership Foundation. Some of the work is already underway, and other work is dependent on the money we still need to raise.
Sigma Nu is looking great as, over the last few years, we’ve updated all the windows, installed new flooring in the Great Hall and in all bedrooms, and made other improvements. As always, the views down to the lake and beyond are spectacular, and the brothers regularly use the backyard for social activities. Check out this photo gallery to see what Sigma Nu looks like today! Thank you to all alumni for your continued support of our chapter!
Brothers gathered in Ithaca in early October for Cornell Homecoming weekend. While the football team fell to Colgate 41-21, alumni gathered before the game for tailgates and then at the house after the game for our alumni reception. You can check out the pictures to see who was there.
Cornell Reunion in June of 2025 was a great time, with our alumni at the house, on the hill, on the golf course, in Collegetown, and all around town. We had strong showings by several classes, including ’20, ’15, ’85, and ’75, and you can check our photo gallery to see who was there. The class of ’85 had an especially good time, with many alumni staying in the chapter house. You can check out what our Reunion-year alumni have been up to with a set of profiles further down this page.
Sigma Nu brothers continue to gather in Ithaca and around the country. You can check out our photo galleries from recent events to see who was there.
