Welcome to the Alpha Sigma Nu website.

Alpha Sigma Nu continues the Jesuit tradition of scholarship, loyalty and service beyond the college years.

With the support of our members, we provide scholarships at all our members’ schools, award the prestigious ASN Book Awards each year, and now have committed our resources to alumni clubs in various cities to help our members to continue to put the Jesuit ideals to work in their own communities.

Thank you for your support of Jesuit education.

Sincerely,

David T. Ralston, Jr.

Board President
