The process by which students apply to join a fraternity or sorority is known as "rushing." Students select the groups they would like to join, and the organizations select the students they want. It's a two-way process. They provide activities and social get-togethers for potential new members to meet one another. In order to assess compatibility, potential candidates spend rush getting to know the brothers living there and vice versa. Fraternities offer bids after rush to begin their candidacy. 

• Finding your "why" also requires realizing how you affect, support, and serve your brothers. Put another way, where you fit in the greater Sigma Nu.

• brotherhood is a fundamental component of Sigma Nu's mission and is fairly summed up in The Way of Honor: 

“And there is another reason why Sigma Nu appeals especially to the mature. Only the mature can afford sentiment, and Sigma Nu is for those who care about others, their Brothers. It goes beyond family and friends to encompass regard for, and loyalty to, an even larger slice of mankind. This in turn opens the door to understanding the ideal toward which the world gropes, a true Brotherhood among all men.”
