Sigma Nu Takes on Leadership Role

Throughout the past year, the chapter has increased its footprint in the James Madison University community in more ways than one. The chapter had two brothers serve on the IFC Executive Board. Sean Carney served as IFC President and Will Kiley served as Vice President of Community Development. Next year, Steve Pease will assume Sean’s duties as IFC President. In addition, two other brothers, Andrew Polito and Alex Rockelli, served as representatives in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The chapter also boasts leaders outside of Greek Life. Danny Burkhart and Scott Wennerstrum served as the President and Vice President, respectively, of the prestigious Madison Investment Fund. The chapter’s philanthropy and community service efforts were very impressive this year. In the Fall of 2015, the chapter hosted its second annual “Rock Week,” during which over $6,200 were raised for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. In the spring, the chapter hosted a Whiffle Ball tournament and sold t-shirts to raise money for the local little league baseball organization. In regards to community service, the chapter is especially proud that three brothers, Peter Belechak, Jon Nenner and Jack Connolly, opted to spend their Spring Break serving the New Orleans community through JMU’s alternative break program. Finally, the chapter is excited to announce that alumnus Jarl Bliss, and his wife Beth, were awarded the Inez Graybeal Roop Alumni Service Award, an award recognizing an alumnus for outstanding voluntary service to the university.
