History[]
Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan was the first college to accept Sigma Kappa Upsilon Mu as a fraternal ‘No-Frills’ original organization. The main incentives that Sigma Kappa Upsilon Mu offers over other Fraternities is “greater affordability and less stringent obligations”.[citation needed] Sigma’s describe themselves as a group striving for loyal brotherhood that isn’t overly strict, this would be more accurate than calling them a fraternity (as traditional stigma’s emanate).[citation needed]
Following violations of the university’s alcohol provisions and a failure to re-register during the annual registration period, the fraternity’s status as a registered student organization was removed in November 2005.[1]
