After a six-year hiatus, Sigma Nu Fraternity will reinstitute its Theta Sigma Chapter on the Missouri State campus during the 2010 spring semester.
"We have an extremely strong alumni-support system in the greater Springfield area," said Josh Green, expansion and recruitment consultant. "They have worked with the university and our office to re-colonize Missouri State."
Sigma Nu's board of directors revoked the chapter's charter in 2004 for straying from core values, Green said. He was unable to go into further detail about the charter.
Sigma Nu's core values are love, truth and honor, and it will be returning to pursue its vision of "Excelling With Honor," Green said.
"The vision is to exemplify that by being better people and excelling in life through being honorable," he said. "We want our members to do the right thing not because it's easy, but because it's right."
Sigma Nu has started a broad recruitment base with advertisements on Facebook. Green said he will do on-site recruitment for the colony from the first week of January to the second week of February.
The remainder of the semester will be dedicated to colony training. During that time, officers will be elected and a sustainable infrastructure will be built, he said.
According to the news release, Sigma Nu was founded in 1869 at the Virginia Military Institute.
The Theta Sigma Chapter at Missouri State was founded in 1972 and remained until 2004.
