Overview
The 10% Challenge was first introduced in 2006 at the 62nd Grand Chapter in Indianapolis. It was created to give you, our collegiate chapters and your members, ownership in the growth of Sigma Nu Fraternity. The Challenge is posed to you: increase the number of men pledged and initiated into your chapter by 10% from the previous year. The 10% Challenge is by choice; only those chapters accepting the challenge are able to participate.
