They were founded at a military school because the founders were fed up with all the bs the older cadets put them through. Stated the way LD had it can make it sound like they were founded as a response to hazing in other fraternities, which wasn't the case.

I'm not sure it's quite that clear cut. According to what at least one Sigma Nu regular poster has said here at GreekChat, Sigma Nu was founded as a response to hazing by a precursor organization to another fraternity.

Paging Kevin for clarification.
