Sigma Nu is one of the strongest and most highly regarded national organizations. Sigma Nu has a four-year ethical leadership development program (LEAD) which will be very attractive to mature, ambitious men.
Suggesting "they are going to suck for 5-10 years" is foolishness. I can cite plenty of examples where that thinking is just plain wrong. Check our www.fsupikes.com, for example... |
I can cite a lot of fallacies with that. People who would otherwise be joining a top-tier house do not join a colony. If I was a legacy to a house that was a colony and got a bid to an established top-tier house, that's where I would be. Sigma Nu (no offense intended) is not one of the organizations that is great everywhere, their Ole Miss chapter may be one of the best chapters of any fraternity in the nation, but top to bottom there are a number which are better (and the recruiting on a greek forum would tend to back that up). Most people looking for a traditional Greek experience aren't looking for a leadership development program instituted by Nationals. And FSU Pike isn't top-tier.
I agree that they will have a very nice house and a rich alumni base, but ANY colony is going to suck for a pretty good period of time. Those who join in the first few years back on campus will have all graduated before it's a good house again.
