hahaa, that is a very cool story! thanks.

Alpha Xi Delta and Sigma Nu
 

I noticed the conversation about the history between Alpha Xi Delta and Sigma Nu. I'm an Alpha Xi Delta at New Mexico State University.

From what I have been able to find out we used to have a Sigma Nu chapter. I was just initiated in the fall of '06, and shortly after that there were rumors flying around that Sigma Nu was looking to come back. But nothing has happened...we know that the chapter at U of A is being recolonized. Right now the closest chapter to us is the University of Texas.

My sisters and I would love to meet Sigma Nu's because of our history. If Sigma Nu were to come back to NMSU, the ladies of the Theta Omega Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta would be more than willing to help ya'll recolonize. :)

Alpha Xi Delta

I don't know anything about NMSU, but our recolonization efforts have been very aggressive as of late. Our HQ's goal is 8 new chapter per year. I think they choose where to go based on feasibility/whether they've been invited, etc.

If you're really interested, maybe you could talk some guys into starting an interest group. I believe that's how our relatively new chapter at Longwood started.

I'm talking to a few of my sisters to see if we can try and get a group of guys interested in bringing Sigma Nu back to New Mexico State. We don't have any brother-sister groups on campus so it would be cool if Sigma Nu came.

If you have any tips on how to get guys interested let me know!!! :)

Well, I'd say if a group of cutie Alpha Xi Delta's came up and started talking to me about a new fraternity I'd be very interested :D

Finding a group of men that are interested in building something of their own, immediately taking leadership roles, and who don't find what they are looking for in the chapters already on the campus. Get a few of those and that's a start.

Having an already established sorority on campus that is backing them; and helping them out would be very attractive to our nationals. Now, the main question - which I have no answer for just now - do we have an Alumni base in the New Mexico State area......

Supposedly one of San Jose State's Sigma Nu alumni lives in New Mexico...he offered to let us stay at his house for the weekend of the New Mexico Bowl (where SJSU beat NM)....but obviously that's in Albuquerque....not that close to NMSU. Let me see if I can get his information.....

Wow... I just read through the history pages here... this is some good stuff! Thanks to all who posted!
