TCU Fraternity and Sorority Life and the Interfraternity Council announced in a press released that Sigma Nu will be the newest fraternity chapter to join TCU.

TCU’s newest fraternity Sigma Nu is the only social fraternity founded in firm opposition to hazing and based on the principle of honor, according to Sigma Nu’s website.

According to the press release, the fraternity will be joining the Interfraternity Council in the fall of 2015.

“Through this process, it was clear how committed Sigma Nu is to partnering with the University and developing a strong chapter at TCU that will have an impact for many years to come,” said Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Kathy Cavins-Tull in the release.

The organization has initiated almost a quarter of a million men since its founding.

The fraternity was originally founded and known to this day as “The Legion of Honor.”

“Our goal is to build one of the nation’s very best fraternity chapters, reflective of the mission shared by TCU and Sigma NU: to develop ethical leaders for the world,” said Alex Taylor, the Sigma Nu Director of Expansion and Recruitment, in the press release. “We have been so impressed by TCU’s high-performing students and student affairs professionals. We are proud to become a part of the Horned Frog Family and can’t wait to get started.”
