Alumni Organization
Personal contact information for the brothers listed below is limited to preserve individual privacy. If you want to contact one of these volunteers, please contact Brother Nelson (below) or use the Contact function on this website.
Each organization’s fiscal year is July 1 – June 30. Currently, a written annual report is prepared and distributed to the General Fraternity and the officers, directors, and advisors. These annual reports are available on this website to register users (see News and Events).
The Delta Delta Alumni Chapter is responsible for alumni relations, communications, and fundraising. In conjunction with an alumni relations contractor, it maintains this website, maintains the alumni information database, and prepares and distributes newsletters, e-mails, and other related correspondence. In addition, it solicits donations to support operations. At this time all donations, unless otherwise directed by the donor, are dedicated to re- colonization.

The Alumni Advisory Board
The purpose of the Alumni Advisory Board (AAB) is simple:
- Provide professional perspective to undergraduate officers
- Give feedback on action plans to help create a “culture” for long-term success
- Keep the team of alumni up-to-date on chapter operations
The current membership of the Delta Delta Alumni Advisory Board (AAB) is limited. Approximately one year prior to recruitment for re-colonization, the AAB will be expanded to ten members covering:
- AAB Chair
- Chapter Advisor Financial Advisor
- House Manager Advisor
- LEAD1 Advisor
- Social & Risk Reduction Advisor
- Recruitment Advisor
- Alumni Relations Advisor
- Marshall Advisor
- Community Service & Philanthropy Advisor
Rather than one individual working with an entire chapter or colony, the AAB is a team of volunteers assembled to share the workload of the traditional Chapter Advisor position. Board members can be chapter alumni, faculty members, parents, men, or women. It may include Sigma Nu alumni of the local chapter, as well as local alumni from other chapters. This model creates a larger pool of alumni skills, preventing one or a few individuals from experiencing “burnout.” The most important element is to ensure that each board member serves to assist the collegiate chapter and help individual members develop into ethical leaders.
