• Chapter Eternal for the Theta Kappa Chapter

     

  • Please report the passing of a brother by clicking here and filling out the form.

     

    Chapter Eternal is Sigma Nu Fraternity’s reference to those brothers who have passed from their current existence into the greater meaning. It is referred to as Chapter Eternal as it is our intent to never forget those who were members nor the lessons we have learned in life through our fraternity.

     

    Initiated at Homecoming 2012, the chapter began a process of formally honoring those brothers who had passed during the previous biennium. At the annual alumni meeting every two years (even years), the chapter honors brothers who have recently passed to the Theta Kappa Chapter Eternal based on the report provided to the General Fraternity for announcement at Grand Chapter. At Homecoming 2012 was the first ceremony we did, so we did this as a time to “catch up” and instill a bi-annual tradition to honor our passed brothers.

     

    This will be a facet of all future alumni meetings at Homecoming every even year. We have initiated a permanent memorial space on our website as you will see an area for each alumnus plus a summary slide we prepare for the Grand Chapter for distinguished alumni. These pages are a "work in progress" and we welcome your input, stories, pictures, and feedback – we need information on each member as they pass including an obituary, photos, and a summary of fraternal life. This will be easiest for those in the future, but we also need to complete our records for those in the distant past.

     

    The Theta Kappa Chapter has adopted the tradition of signifying the passing of a brother or the family or loved one of a brother with Three White Roses. This is a tradition started by some alumni in the early 2000s and formalized in 2012 when two founding alumni passed within a few months of each other. Prior to that we addressed each occasion uniquely and often erratically. The White Rose is a symbol of our great fraternity representing the purity of purpose and change – in this case the change or transition to Chapter Eternal or the passing of a close one. It is also an outward symbol extended to a brothers’ spouse/sweetheart, his mother, and his sister. A single white rose or three white roses may be presented upon the passing of a mother, father, sibling, child or spouse of a brother in a similar manner. Of note: the official white rose is not generally commercially available, so standard white roses are used in place of the official flower.

     

    The Three (3) White Roses represent:

    1. The first rose is from the local collegiate chapter where he began his ΣΝ journey and was initiated.
    2. The second rose is given on behalf of our alumni, Alumni Chapter, House Corporation, and Alumni Advisory Board as he will always be a ΘΚ and Sigma Nu alumnus.
    3. The third rose is on behalf of the General Fraternity and all members of “The Legion of Honor”, who we all belong to forever as ours is not just a lifetime membership, but forever.
