my friend who is the president of SAE at UC Davis told me that Sigma Nu is trying to colonize at Davis again. Any info bros?

I know Chris Healy, Director of Expansion, has wanted this project for a few years now....

I know that he is trying to get in contact with one of our brothers dad who was a past L.C at Davis to get alumni support to recharter it....I'd personally like to see the Davis chapter back.

I haven't heard anything about UC Davis and my company is working with Ben Bruenig and some Expansion stuff.

There's no official announcement on the website. I just Googled "Sigma Nu" & "UC Davis" and this thread is number three on that list. I have no doubt that what you're saying is true, Brother McGuire. Sigma Nu has really started to cast its net wide insofar as its expansion efforts are concerned.

As to how close Zeta Xi is to becoming active again, it's still anyone's guess. Great to see that it may be reopened.

Based on my experience, our west coast chapters are generally very successful. UC Davis would probably be a safe bet for expansion.

I actually talked to Chris Healy today and he said they are going to try and get it started again Spring '08 if everything goes according to plan. They are working with alumni and trying to get a strong support to get it started again.

Is that campus anywhere near UCLA or Stanford? Just thinking if they can help when it gets colonized.

Davis is about 8 hours north of LA :-P

It's near Sacramento.....Davis is like an hour and half from San Francisco.

Closest Sigma Nu chapters are: Chico State, San Jose State, UCBerkeley, and Stanford.

I don't know much about the others; but everything I've seen about Stanford lately looks like they have their stuff together.

I've never been to Chico State but I hear the guys there are pretty wild and keep a pretty Animal House style house.

I only went to Stanford once and they had a Parents' Day so they couldn't really entertain us....but we're going back for the SJSU vs. Stanford football game in the fall.

UCBerkeley guys are really nice and we're pretty close to that chapter (along with Fresno State) and visit each other frequently for parties and the such. They have about a 30 man chapter and a huge house.

From what I can tell none of the Bay Area chapters are extremely struggling, but we could always do better....hopefully Davis is able to flourish.

Chico State Sigma Nu is helping out with Recolonizing the UC DAVIS chapter.

A couple of my pals are Sig Nu's at chico

It's a colony.

Give it a few years.

i was talking about the Iota Kappa Chapter in Chico, i think that Sigma Nu in Davis is going to be big! but on a real note i do hope your organization excels in davis. I have alot of respect for Sigma Nu and i am not lying, and i am very impressed with Iota Kappas rush this week they really did a good job and stepped their game up.

On the post of chistateksig earlier, I think there are a couple odd people in each organization. The kind of people that just don't look or act the same as the organization as a whole. btw, I don't think this is bad in any way I am just saying. For instance, there are sororities that keep girls in the kitchen area or a room away from the groups during formal rush at my school because they are not the 'best girls' to present to the potentials. We call these the 'kitchen cases' of the sororities. But to conclude I think there are a couple 'misfits' in each organization and if they are contributing in other ways (ie scholastics, dues, etc....) then whats the problem?

chicostateksig · #14 02-22-2008, 02:28 AM

i do agree, i mean i dont mean to judge your brothers i know alot of them and like i said i respect Sigma Nu as a whole.

Although I do agree with techsigmanu, there definitely are some people that you just don't want to put up front for all the potentials to meet... a colony definitely seems to get some more of them, I guess since we are new and people don't know exactly what to think about them yet. (experience from our colony on this one)

But, I'm glad to see that uc davis is getting some help from another chapter...that'd be nice.

lol So, off subject, any plans for the Kappa Sigs to get back on the campus? Kappa Sigs have some pretty good guys down here at Miss. State.
