A group of the Sigma Nu men gather in the front of their house. In the fall of 1950, a small, loyal group of Sigma Nu transfer students at Arizona State University joined with a number of interested independents to form Nu Sigma, a local fraternity with hopes of petitioning Sigma Nu national Fraternity. In 1952, Nu Sigma received full recognition by and membership to the campus lnterfraternity Council. It grew in size and quality until in March, 1955, it was chartered as Zeta Upsilon chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity. Since its installation, Zeta Upsilon chapter has lived by the high standards of honor, brotherhood and courtesy set forth in 1869 by its founders, three loyal cadets at Military Institute. Sigma Nu began with three men; members (active and alumni) now approach 70,000, with chapters located at 140 of the leading colleges and in the nation. The Sigma Nu home at 410 Adelphi Drive will move to a new 60 man house near Sun Devil Stadium and Palo Verde Hall in January, 1961.
