Let's hear it:
"Serving beer and serving wine / Three point one four one five nine."
Apparently this is pretty much puts Sigma Nu on an even footing with other fraternities at the institute. See

“by Katherine Landergan, Globe Correspondent
The MIT chapter of the Sigma Nu fraternity was granted permission to serve beer and wine at social events this week by the Boston Licensing Board, despite objections from the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services and City Councilor Michael P. Ross’s office.
Of the 19 fraternities at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sigma Nu was the only one with restrictions on serving or consuming alcohol as part of their dormitory license, according to M.I.T. officials.
. . . Brad Beacham, the executive director of Sigma Nu Fraternity, Inc., said in a phone interview that by 2000 the national organization decided against making its chapters alcohol-free. The only Sigma Nu chapters that are not allowed to have alcohol in the house are those not in good standing, Beacham said. And he said that for as long as he can recall, the M.I.T. chapter has always been in good standing with Sigma Nu national.
“[The M.I.T. chapter] does a great job with risk reduction policy,” he said. . . .”
