[About the Rush Chairs]
The Rush Chairmen for our house this year are Bryan Huter and Derek Jansson. They are both currently sophomores and are willing to help you in any way possible. Please feel free to give them a call on any matter. If you have any questions about rush for next year or are interested in snapping for next semester please e-mail them or drop by. For those of you that are not familiar with snapping, it is when a student wants to join a fraternity but did not sign a bid card during rush or they just wanted to join at a later time.
 

[About Rush This Summer]
Our rush chairmen take time out of their summer to travel around the nation to visit with students about their interests in fraternity life. We dedicate ourselves to recruiting good , strong individuals for the honorable structure of our house. Love, Truth, and Honor are three attributes we look for in individuals and use them to shape strong relationships within the house and out of the house.
 

[Summer Activities for 2006]
During the summer we will be traveling around and meeting with interested candidates.  During this time, we would like to meet candidates over lunch or dinner to get to know them better and answer their questions about Sigma Nu or college life in general. We also will be planning activities such as barbecues, sporting events, a weekend trip to McCall, and outdoor activities.  This will give candidates a chance to get to know other guys interested in rushing our chapter, as well as several members of Sigma Nu.

[Brotherhood Activities]

Delta Omicron has many brotherhoods throughout the year that are a great chance for all the members to get together and have some good times. Our chapter stresses the importance of getting to know everyone in the house. Brotherhoods are frequent throughout the year and help everyone in the house become more comfortable with their surroundings and brothers.

[Academic/Scholarship Activities]
Our chapter is dedicated to academic success during our time in college.  Last semester (spring 2005) our house had the 2nd highest GPA out of all the fraternities at Idaho.  Our organized study hours help new members adjust to the academic responsibilities of college, and our members are always willing to give useful advice.

[Philanthropy/Community Service Projects]

Since 1915, the Delta Omicron chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity at the University of Idaho has had a rich tradition of philanthropic actively. Sigma Nu fraternity is considered to be not only an Honor fraternity, but a Gentleman’s fraternity as well. This truth carries through with the Delta Omicron chapter’s dedication to community service. Each year all new members are required to brainstorm, create, participate and follow through with a unique philanthropy of their pledge classes’ choice. Philanthropic activities are highly regarded within Sigma Nu and this is evident the moment that a man rushes our fraternity.

Past Pledge Class Philanthropies:

-Built benches for the University of Idaho student/faculty population (2004)

-Remodeled a children’s daycare (2003)

-Painted Moscow elementary school (2001)

[Social Events]

We hold many social events during the year to help students feel comfortable in a college atmosphere. We hold a annual raft trip at the beginning of the year along with several other events including our White Rose formal dinner.
