The Chapter
The Gamma Upsilon Chapter
The Gamma Upsilon Chapter was established at the University of Arkansas on December 21, 1904. Over the century that followed, it grew into the largest chapter in Sigma Nu — home to more than 3,700 initiated brothers, more than any other chapter in the fraternity's history.
Gamma Upsilon's brothers have carried the chapter's name far beyond Fayetteville. Its alumni are counted among Arkansas's most accomplished leaders — from world-renowned architect Edward Durell Stone and Tyson Foods leader Don Tyson to Razorback All-American Chuck Dicus, Arkansas Supreme Court Chief Justice John Dan Kemp, and University of Arkansas Chancellor John A. White — a testament to the men this brotherhood has helped shape.
After nearly a century on the Hill, the chapter stepped away in 2000 before being proudly re-established by a new generation of Arkansas men determined to rebuild Gamma Upsilon on its founding values. Today the chapter carries that legacy forward — honoring the brothers who came before while writing its next chapter.
