Alumni Update: Ricky Sharp ’80

We recently caught up with Ricky Sharp ’80 and he told us where his favorite place to go is in Chapel Hill, his favorite tradition, and much more! Read on to see what Ricky had to say.

Where was your favorite place to go in Chapel Hill, why was this place so special to you?

Phillips Hall to study. I could easily find a classroom and take 3-4 books to do homework at night.

What was your favorite event, tradition, or activity to partake in during your college years? Why was it so important to you? Do you still engage with that event, tradition, or activity?

Singing “Hark the Sound.” I still do this even when no ballgame is going on. A beautiful song, words, and tune.

As an alum, what do you see as the most valuable part of your Sigma Nu experience?

Going through rush, pledging, learning Sigma Nu traditions through our pledge trainer.
