The Mu Upsilon Chapter Receives Charter from the Regent |
Chapter Profile: Originally founded in 2003, the Mu Upsilon Chapter operated for only three years before it was closed in 2006. However, with a team effort from the University, alumni, and the Fraternity, the chapter was recolonized in spring 2008. This very successful expansion effort was capped off on May 16th when the colony earned its charter in less than one calendar year, a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved.
Initiating 40 knights into the Legion of Honor, Mu Upsilon was Sigma Nu's second colony to charter in 2009 and the sixth this academic year. They recently won the President's Community Service Award at SFA, while posting first and second among fraternities in GPA over the year and competing all-around with the top organizations on campus.
The chapter decided to make a donation to the Sigma Nu Educational Foundation in lieu of giving gifts to those who helped during the recolonization and has asked alumni to match their gift. Among many others, the chapter would like to thank Brothers Alex Wyatt (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo), Chris Graham (Lamar), and Gregg Durham (Stephen F. Austin) for their support and involvement with the chapter.

largest campus in the UC system, Davis is home to more than 25,000 students. It is renowned for its beautiful campus and bike-friendly community, where it boasts the largest bikes-per-capita in the United States.
Chapter Profile: Originally founded as Philo Delphos in 1919, the local fraternity joined the ranks of the Legion of Honor as the Zeta Xi Chapter in 1952. Since then, over 640 alumni have passed through its proud halls and have enjoyed prosperous careers in business, politics, science, and music. Current members are extremely active on the UCD campus, and nearly all are involved in other organizations outside of Sigma Nu. With current manpower above 50, the 2nd highest GPA on campus, and multiple 1st place finishes in philanthropy, community service, and other Greek events to date, Zeta Xi is already among the top fraternities on campus.
On May 9, 2009, Zeta Xi earned their charter after being recolonized only 13 months prior, a monumental achievement given that their chapter had been dormant for more than 17 years. Their success is a testament to the leadership and dedication of both Zeta Xi alumni and undergraduate brothers.
In addition to all the area alumni who devoted their time and effort to rebuilding the Zeta Xi Chapter, members would like to thank Mike Wheeler (UC Davis), R. Kim Stephenson (UC Davis), Jeff Moore (UC Davis), Dave Hedin (Cal. St. Chico/UC Davis), Brian Woodall (Virginia), Steve Park (Nevada), John Stutz (UC Davis), Paul Schwartz (UC Davis), Brian Keaveney (UC Davis), Marshall Andrews (Fresno State), Mike Lewis (UC Davis), Anthony Torre (UC Santa Barbara), Bill Stanzel (Michigan), as well as countless other alumni volunteers, parents, and the Sigma Nu staff and High Council for helping to make the Zeta Xi recolonization possible. |
