Sigma Nu.
Last Monday seven of our students appeared with Sigma Nu badges, thus announcing a fact which had been long known, that there was a chapter of that fraternity in the University. This is Nu chapter, and was established on the second of last June. The charter members were: J. T. Howard, H. B. Martin, P. R. Bennett, G. W. Harrington, F. A. Marshall and A. C. Markley. This year the following names have been added to the roll: Charles Miller, W. S. Bales, J. B. Harris, W. J. Marshall and F. C. Keys. Sigma Nu is a southern fraternity, but has seen fit to extend to the K. S. U. There are seven chapters, all in the south. The pin is a star with a black centerpiece, bearing five bars with a coiled serpent. The nickname of the Sigma Nus is "Snakes."
