When did Arkansas suspend the Sigma Nu chapter?

They were shut down in Fall 2000. They are completely back now and have their charter back I believe. I think they are over 100 men now also.

I am very jealous of the alumni support Gamma Upsilon enjoys.

haha, I am in the same boat as yourself. But I am hoping and striving to develop our alumni support. But like someone wrote on another forum, "it just takes work and time."

Ha ha Banditone - I didn't know you posted those pics of the old EN house. Those are my kids playing Legos in front of the fireplace. I had taken all of those pics during the renovation of the "Phoenix House" for AOII.

Irish, those are great pics! I remember running around that house back in like 1992. I assume AOII is still in it as their house doesn't appear to be complete yet?

Cute kiddos

Yes - the girls are in the old EN house this Fall. The new house on Maple will be finished in early December, then the landscape and furnishings go in. The chapter will move into the new place in January before the semester starts. I will actually miss the old EN house. It has a lot of faults, and the exterior isn't great, but that was such a big and rewarding project that I will miss it. The transformation was so dramatic. I think the expectations are so high now that a lot of the girls don't really appreciate it. I thought it turned out to be a cute place to live.

There still aren't any letters on the front of the house, but there are over the main entrance and over the back entrance- I'm sure that will change in time.
We are still getting all the glitches worked out- making sure every room has internet, trying to get all of the showers working properly, etc.
Cool features- we have a High Def 102" projector screen in the dining room, we usually watch football games on it (it was great during tailgating for our season opener!), we can also use it during chapter. In the rec room we have a 58" plasma screen mounted on the wall. We are getting a pool table for the room as well. In the library we are starting to put up a bunch of composites/the creed/etc that we just got out of storage from some of our alumni.
In the courtyard, around that tree, there are bricks with the names of alumni who gave money to the housing project- including several Alpha Chapter members.
Rush parties have been going really well! A lot of people have been over to the house, and the head of UAPD commented on the fact that our house blew the other greek houses away. We are very proud of it.
If y'all ever come near Northwest Arkansas feel free to drop by! A lot of alumni have been stopping in, and we are always excited to show hospitality to brothers.
More later. If you have any specific questions you can reach me at shhenry@uark.edu

I was just reading your website http://info.theginsystem.com/websites/SN_UA/

In the "recruitment" section, it suggests Gamma Upsilon is a 200-man chapter. Is this true? How many pledges did you take in the fall 2008? How many actives did you have to begin the fall 08 semester? How many men can live in the fraternity house at 100% occupancy? Looking forward to your reply!

AR and Razor, you have any time to take pics of the inside for us?

I think they took 50 in the Fall and the house sleeps 53.

banditone · #86 04-01-2009, 07:14 PM

I found these on the interwebs

I could be quite wrong, but from what I understand, their house is sliding down the hill and will have to be rebuilt.

That's at least how the rumor goes. This is not the first time a fraternity house has slid off its foundations.

And whoever asked earlier, they're probably closer to like a 180 man chapter. Or so. But they usually hit like 55ish every fall and 12ish every spring.
