Joseph F. Akers Memorial (Beta Theta - Auburn University) Scholarship Fund

Sigma Nu has been an influential force within the Auburn University community since its founding in 1890. Over 3,200 young men have experienced the benefits of becoming a part of our Sigma Nu Brotherhood. We've become better men, made lifelong friends, and become part of a bond that serves us well in all our life's endeavors.

The Joseph F. Akers Memorial Scholarship was created to honor our brother who was an outstanding friend, husband, father, and citizen. Joe’s boundless optimism, infectious sense of humor, love of life, and selfless character were treasured by all of those who knew him. His mental and physical toughness, as well as his steady perseverance through extreme adversity, has been a constant inspiration. We are all better human beings for having had him in our lives. All of us who were fortunate enough to have known Joe want to honor this legacy. Through this fund, we will award an annual scholarship to a Beta Theta Chapter brother who demonstrates Joe’s enduring spirit.

Join us as we come together to honor Joe Akers, preserve his legacy, and build our chapter’s future, keeping Sigma Nu at Auburn University strong for generations to come.
