On the Friday of April 17th to Saturday, April 18th, the brothers of Sigma Nu took part in the campus wide fundraiser, Relay For Life. Put on by the American Cancer Society, the relay is a nationwide effort to raise money for cancer research.
The relay started up on northside at the Bill Sudeck track at 6 pm that Friday. Things were off to a strong start with the track being packed full of people from all around the campus. Around the periphery of the track, people were selling various back goods and other snacks to help boost their fund raising. Along with the sisters of Delta Gamma, the men of Sigma Nu sold rootbeer floats late into the night.
The atmosphere of the relay was a combination of block party, tailgating,and sleepover, all wrapped into one night. Although energy waned as the night rolled on and morning came, the activity on the track still persisted. Finally, the clock reached noon of the next day, and the relay was finished. Sigma Nu raised over $1000 dollars and as a team walked over 86 miles in a course of 24 hours. The entire event was a great success, thanks to the help of recent alumni, Alex Hamberger and his leadership efforts. Overall, the school raised a little over $88,000 dollars for the American Cancer Society

In addition to the Knighting ceremony, our annual Affirmation of Knighthood ceremony was conducted. Congratulations to our new Worthy Knights: Chuck Becker, Eric Diller, Dan Baeder, Nick Sachanda, Ali Hasanali, Dan King, Andrew Dotta, and Matt Gardner.
Greek Week 2009 is finally over. After great showings in Spot Shot, Beach Ball Relay, Raft Race, Egg Toss, Pyramid, and Rope Pull, the brothers of Sigma Nu ended up placing 2nd overall.
The brothers ended up placing 1st in Pyramid as well as 1st in the noncompetitive bracket for Rope Pull.
In addition to our 2nd place finish, Sigma Nu was honored with the Sportsmanship Award.
Congratulations Delta Alpha for representing Sigma Nu so well.
We are well underway into Greek Week now, having already completed Sing, Banner, and Variety Show. Yesterday evening, April 1, the brothers sang their hearts out to the tune of Ben Fold's "Rockin' the Suburbs" with their own rendition titled "Addicted to Nicktoons." Despite audience approval, Sigma Nu did not place in the event.
However, today and tonight, April 2, banner and variety were held. Early this morning, brothers moved our enormous banner, which was a smaller-sized Case version of the show "Legends of the Hidden Temple," complete with lasers, academics, and the famous "Silver Spartan." We learned tonight that we placed first in this event.
Tonight, Sigma Nu proudly presented a dating show with cartoons and ended with a fantastic dance that incorporated many of the brothers. Sigma Nu placed second in Variety Show and our spirits are high.
On the night of Monday March 30th, the brothers of Sigma Nu played softball against the brothers of Sigma Chi. The score ended as 10-4 with the victory going to Sigma Nu. Nick "Cy Young can't touch this" Hilgeman pitched a complete 7 inning game, only giving up 2 earned runs and thus giving him a 2.00 ERA on the season so far. Other brothers that played were Dan "The Glove" Johnson, Steve "Scoops" Cummins, Matt "The Babe" Root, Ben "The Best Thing From Texas Since A-Rod" Guengerich, Eric "The Bean Pole" Purdy, Eric "Is This Where I Stand" Diller, Curtis "The Hair" Holmes, Matt "The Flash" Seemiller, Jared "What Am I Hitting Again?" Hamilton, and Neil "When Does Obama Get Here?" O'Brian. It was a hard fought game and all brothers of Sigma Nu should be proud of the tremendous effort put forth. The next game will be Monday April 6th at 7 p.m. on Van Horne field.
Last night marked Sigma Nu's last intramural hockey game for the year. Many brothers played their best, but we still lost to the brothers of Phi Delta Theta (Final score 0-4).
