The Best of Sigma Nu

Where was your favorite place to go in Chapel Hill? Did you have a favorite tradition? Read on to see how alumni brother Thomas Adams ’67 answered these questions!

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

The front porch of the Sigma Nu House.  It was great to sit on the park bench (which I had appropriated for the porch), watch the activity, and listen to popular music of the 1960s on beautiful fall and spring days.

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?

At the time, there was a music festival in the quad each spring.  Blankets, beer, and good music. 

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

UNC is a large school, and Sigma Nu gave me a small group of guys with which to identify.

Retired, as probably most of my contemporaries.  I have enjoyed seeing the next-generation move our business forward.  I also now have time to travel, play golf poorly and spend time on a few civic boards.  Last year, the swim team invited me up for a swim meet and basketball game.  This gave me the opportunity to see a couple of old fraternity brothers and to make a visit to the fraternity house where I met a couple of actives.  It was a Saturday morning and not much was going on, but they were sharp and engaging.  I was pleased with the quality of the men.
