I attended Kean College in the fall of 1979, I just transferred from a college in North Carolina to Kean College. I was going to commute from Wayne NJ, to Union, NJ as a full time student. I was your everyday student. I went to class and went home after I was finished. I realized I needed to have more of the college experience. I needed to meet more people in the school. I was never into sports, and I never in my life of thinking of joining a fraternity at school. I was in school for 6 months, before I started look into it.

SO WHY NU SIGMA PHI? I meet a few of the members in some of my classes. I was given a personal invitation to come to meet the Greeks. I liked the history; being one of the oldest fraternities on campus dating back to Newark College and the fact that they were all individuals. Just by looking at the members you could see this. I was surprise that a friend of my father-in law was a Phi member, back at Newark College. Going to college, working, studying has a lot of pressure on you. Being part of Nu Sigma Phi just made going to school a little bit easier. I know after a few hard classes or after taking a test that there was always someone at the our table or the local pub to have a beer with.

I graduated in 1982 and I still keep in touch with my Fraternity, as with life changes, marriage, kids and jobs, now the Internet its much easier to stay in touch. I think that joining a fraternity gets you though the worst of times and the best with great friends and memories from the college days. Joining Nu Sigma Phi was the #1 best thing I did in college. Its not just about the parties, but the friendship you have and the whole experience; then and now. I would do this all over again. Nu Sigma Phi was (and hope soon to be again!) the best at Kean University. This is a new beginning, but never forget the past.
