Welcome to Grand Chapter
Dear Brothers & Guests,
Welcome to the 69th Grand Chapter of the Legion of Honor. You are now a part of Sigma Nu Fraternity history. Since 1884, when a small group of devoted brothers gathered at the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville for the very first Grand Chapter, our brothers from across the continent have gathered to conduct the important business of our Fraternity. Each Grand Chapter has taken up its work with a commitment to our timeless Principles of Love, Honor, and Truth and in so doing ensured the success and growth of our great resolve. You now take up this mantle of leadership of the Legion of Honor. We are confident the 69th Grand Chapter – our first digital convention - will do an outstanding job as you give your time, attention, and care to secure our future.
In addition to the business we will accomplish, Grand Chapter will also be a celebration. A celebration of the fortitude, perseverance, and strength of mind, heart, and character of every brother. During one of the most challenging periods of our history, the collegiate and alumni brothers of Sigma Nu rose to the occasion these last three years to meet and overcome every difficulty, ensuring the accomplishment of our Mission to develop ethical leaders inspired by Love, Honor, and Truth, to foster the growth of each man’s mind, heart, and character, and to perpetuate lifelong friendships and commitment to the Fraternity.
In the coming days you will see that our Fraternity, the only Fraternity founded upon the honor principle, flourished amidst these hardships thanks to your spirit and commitment and that of all brothers. This is the same spirit and the same commitment that permeates our 152-year history and emboldens us as we look to the future as the Knights of the Legion of Honor.
Hi Rickety, brothers, and welcome to the 69th Grand Chapter!
Fraternally,
John Hearn (Georgia)
Regent
Brad Beacham (Texas Christian)
Executive Director
