Intelligence

What is intellegence?
It's more than your GPA on a resume or transcript. Are you intelligent? Whether you believe you are or not is not as important as your desire to pursue and achieve intelligence.

Intelligence doesn't happen by accident. You don't wake up one day and discover that you are intelligent. If you desire intelligence, the next step is to seek it out. But you must first know where to look.

Look beyond your professors.
Look beyond your textbooks.
Look beyond the classroom.

Social Intelligence – The ability to communicate ideas influences others, negotiate, and listen effectively. The ability to make a good impression, to assess a situation on the fly and react appropriately.

Emotional Intelligence – Taking responsibility for your obligations, keeping a cool head in the face of stress, being sensitive to others needs and serving them with grace and honor.

Practical Intelligence – Understanding the consequence of choice and good decisions, evaluating a problem and meeting it with a solution, making personal goals, mapping them out and reaching the objective.

Most employers would rather hire an intelligent, well rounded man, than a graduate who cannot effectively interact with others, maintain composure under pressure, or problem solve. Be honest with yourself, are good grades and a diploma – but nothing more, good enough to meet ambitious goals beyond college?

Sigma Nu is not for everyone. But then again, not just anyone is for Sigma Nu. We seek to align ourselves with exceptional men who desire intellectual growth for themselves. Step into your potential. Contact us to take the next step in your pursuit of excellence.

This paradigm of intelligence was inspired by the Epsilon Chi Chapter at Bowling Green State University
