Chartered in 1870, the Beta Chapter of Sigma Nu is one of the oldest fraternities at the University of Virginia. Our brotherhood is a close-knit group brought together by the common values of Love, Honor, and Truth.We are a chapter active in all sectors of university life. As the whole is often greater than the sum of its parts, so too does the diversity of the Beta chapter provide the synergy for a house that continues to set the example for academic excellence, philanthropic service, campus leadership, and social engagement. Those who choose to pledge Sigma Nu do so to be their true selves and thrive in an environment that fosters personal growth and encourages individuality. The Beta chapter enhances the university experience of its members and builds a sense of community in a way that generates a desire to invest time, talent, and treasure in the development of both the organization and its future members.With over 65 active brothers, the Gentlemen of Sigma Nu at the University of Virginia make up one of the largest and most diverse fraternities on Grounds. Young men from all walks of life, from across the country and even overseas, call 189 Culbreth Road home. With brothers majoring in everything from Aerospace Engineering and Neuroscience to History and Foreign Affairs, the Beta chapter has maintained an average GPA above 3.5 - one of the highest among any large student organization at UVA. Our members are involved in a wide variety of academic, extracurricular, pre-professional, and athletic communities, with brothers serving as leaders in dozens of student groups. This focus on academic performance, alongside an embodiment of Sigma Nu’s values, also allows our members to excel in their career goals. Brothers have received internships or full-time offers at notable companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Accenture, Wells Fargo, KPMG, Jefferies, AQR Capital Management, Société Generale, Jump Trading, and more.In addition to an emphasis on academic performance, the Beta chapter strives to represent Greek Life across Grounds. Our active brothers are involved in over 40 student organizations at UVA, including the Jefferson Startup Network, Housing and Residence Life, Cavalier Daily, Student Council, McIntire Investment Institute, HackCville, Alexander Hamilton Society, Washington Literary Society, Global Markets Group, and Madison House.Our chapter takes pride in its community service and philanthropic endeavors as well. Every year, the brothers log over 1,600 individual volunteer hours through activities such as providing free tax preparation services to low-income families, packaging meals at the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, planting trees and promoting sustainable living, serving as teaching aides in local elementary schools, tutoring inmates as part of rehabilitation programs at the regional jail, teaching computer literacy to job-seekers at the Virginia Workforce Center, mentoring refugee children from Sierra Leone and Sudan, and engaging in recreational therapy for individuals with physical or mental disabilities. In addition to individual service, the Beta chapter of Sigma Nu strives to make an impact collectively, for example, by working with Habitat for Humanity to raise funds and awareness for affordable housing in Charlottesville. At the end of each Spring semester, the chapter also hosts a major outdoor philanthropy event, Xanadu, at which we consistently raise thousands of dollars for St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
