UCO’s Sigma Nu Fraternity Chapter Honored with National Award
Oct. 15, 2025
The University of Central Oklahoma’s Mu Tau chapter of the Sigma Nu fraternity received its first-ever Rock Chapter Award, the highest honor a collegiate chapter can receive from the national fraternity, recognizing sustained excellence across all areas of chapter operations, including leadership, academics, service and adherence to Sigma Nu’s core values of love, honor and truth.
Awarded every two years at Sigma Nu’s Grand Chapter gathering, the Rock Chapter Award honors chapters that have demonstrated consistent, high-level performance over a minimum two-year period. Only 20 out of 152 Sigma Nu chapters nationwide received the honor.
“Receiving the Rock Chapter Award is a true testament to our brothers’ excellence, dedication and integrity over the past several years,” said Dale Archer, chair of the Alumni Advisory Board for UCO’s Sigma Nu chapter and alumnus.
“This recognition affirms that Mu Tau not only meets the highest standards of Sigma Nu, but consistently lives out the values of love, honor and truth in all areas of chapter life at UCO and in the Edmond community.”
UCO’s Mu Tau chapter earned the award by meeting and exceeding national standards, achieving an overall 3.05 GPA and 100% member involvement in other campus organizations, with 41% of brothers serving in leadership roles.
The chapter raised $1,000 for charitable causes, averaged 24 hours of community service per member and implemented all phases of Sigma Nu’s acclaimed LEAD leadership development program, reinforcing its commitment to building effective and ethical leaders.
