Most Universities require that all fraternities on campus be affiliated with a national fraternity.
Because you are one or more of more than 50,000 Sammies living all over the world you will meet with fratres in many cities and have the opportunity to stay involved with the fraternity after graduation. National Brotherhood You never know when you'll meet a fratre, or need to seek out the help of someone that you trust because he is the member of the same national fraternity. Some fratres have taken advantage being in a national fraternity when they travel long distance, seeking out lodging of a chapter or assistance from a fratre in that city. Perpetuation Being in a national fraternity provides greater assurance that your chapter will carry on after you leave university. Someday your sons and grandsons can join Sigma Alpha Mu.
