Life at Nu Sigma Nu

Nu Sigma Nu Medical Fraternity
Alpha Chapter
The University of Michigan

Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Nu Sigma Nu Medical Fraternity offers comfort, convenience, opportunities to relax, and plenty of fun, not to mention a incredible support network of medical students from all four classes as well as students from many other graduate programs. What more could you ask for?!?

The Nu Sigma Nu house is co-ed graduate student co-op located in a relatively new $2 million building providing affordable housing for thirty-four nifty graduate students. While the majority of people living in the house are indeed medical students, current residents include students from the schools pharmacy, law, business, engineering, pharmacology and social work. All medical students are guaranteed their very own room, equipped with central heat and air conditioning, high-speed internet access, desk, bed and plenty of closet space...all for perhaps the most inexpensive rate you’ll find anywhere in Ann Arbor!

Nu Sigma Nu is located directly across from the beautiful Nichols Arboretum on Geddes Avenue - fifteen minutes by foot from the Medical School (five by bike) and only three blocks from central campus. We offer free laundry facilities and free parking for all residents (which is something of a premium in Ann Arbor).

Nu Sigma Nu has a distinguished history, and continues to attract the best and brightest medical students. Alumni of Nu Sigma Nu include men who have shaped American medical education (including several holding prestigious positions here at the hospital), have written classic textbooks, and who have served in medical leadership positions throughout the world. Members continuously score in the top percentages on their Boards and are accepted into some of the best residencies in the country.

How is this possible you ask? Simple: advice and assistance received from upperclassmen and alumni (including old notes and books), the use of our extensive medical library and well-equipped computer room, and the ease of forming study groups with housemates are invaluable to all of us.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of living at Nu Sigma Nu is that you will be surrounded by people who, like you, are here to do well in school as well as enjoy themselves. You will find that the guys will respect your study time, yet when you some free time there is always somebody to join you for a run, shoot a game of pool, sink a few at the bar, or just chill with a DVD on our massive big-screen TV. In addition, every Monday evening we have a free house dinner, which is a great time for members to get together and socialize with friends. More than a housing cooperative than a true fraternity, Nu Sigma Nu does NOT require pledging or social involvement, and you can be as involved as much or as little as you want

We at Nu Sigma Nu know that living at, and belonging to, a medical fraternity will enhance your medical school experience, both academically and socially. So take a look around this website, see what living at Nu Sigma Nu has to offer, and hopefully we’ll be seeing you in the fall.  If you have any questions or want to stop by for a visit, contact one of our all-star house officers listed on our home page.

The only task we ask housemates to perform is a weekly co-op duty that is assigned at the beginning of the year. Such jobs include kitchen duty one day a week, to be split between you and another house member, library maintenance, and other minor chores that take minimal time, but keep the house looking great and your experience living here optimal!
