Sigma Kappa Upsilon Mu () is a local fraternity founded on October 13, 1981 at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan.
Sigma Kappa Upsilon MuâÂÂs constitution was submitted to the dean of students, Harold Messe, who ratified it. Sigma Kappa Upsilon Mu was founded by the following twelve men: James Haferkorn, Kent Klausner, John Chapman, Jim Ply, Jeffrey Parks, Mike Mallos, Phil Van Riper, Rick Michaels, Tim Lodge, Joe Rokosz, Paul Brewer, Scott Muller.
Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan was the first college to accept Sigma Kappa Upsilon Mu as a fraternal âÂÂNo-Frillsâ original organization. The main incentives that Sigma Kappa Upsilon Mu offers over other Fraternities is âÂÂgreater affordability and less stringent obligationsâÂÂ. SigmaâÂÂs describe themselves as a group striving for loyal brotherhood that isnâÂÂt overly strict, this would be more accurate than calling them a fraternity (as traditional stigmaâÂÂs emanate).
Following violations of the universityâÂÂs alcohol provisions and a failure to re-register during the annual registration period, the fraternityâÂÂs status as a registered student organization was removed in November 2005.
Sigma Kappa Upsilon MuâÂÂs colors are cherry red and black. Its animal is an elephant.
