Look for "The Story of Sigma Nu" on ebay, it is a pretty exhaustive account of the Fraternity's development up until 1927ish. There is also an updated version I found in the library at Headquarters that goes up to the 70s. I can't remember what its called unfortunately.
The Story of Sigma Nu has a ton of fascinating details of the very early years of the fraternity, particularly the difficulties involved in attempting to run a multi-chapter organization in the days of a horse powered postal service. I remember one serious problem where the fraternity was unable to locate the Regent in order to sign a charter for the only remaining active chapter other then Alpha, and the delay almost cost them the chapter's affiliation.
There is alot of great pictures of the founders and early members, and tons of primary source details like a scan of the original bylaws of Alpha chapter, transcripts of letters between the early chapters, ect. As a History Major I nearly wet myself with glee. The book gets pretty boring near the end once the organization is better established, and it devolves into an excruciating account of the dates each chapter was founded, ect.
