Sigma Nu at the University of Arizona
A brotherhood built on Love, Honor, and Truth — carrying on more than a century of leadership, scholarship, and service in Tucson.
Built on principle, proven over generations
From “Button” Salmon’s dying words that gave Arizona its rallying cry, to the alumni leading Tucson business today, Epsilon Alpha men have always led by example.
Legacy of Leaders
Home to John “Button” Salmon, who coined “Bear Down,” and generations of alumni who’ve shaped this university and city.
