Fraternity on Track to Remain
Most Preferred
Additional Chapters Realize Jackson’s Dream
A
fter more than two years of
intense recruitment, many chapters have achieved the
Champion Quest Goal of becoming #1
on campus in membership size or having at least 50 men. Coming into the
Spring 2006 semester, there remained
a number of chapters who, despite solid
efforts, had not quite yet been able to
make everything click all at once for a
truly outstanding rush effort that
would put them over the top.
This spring, even more chapters
realized Jackson’s Dream, with everything clicking all at once for that truly
outstanding recruitment effort that put
them over the top. These chapters
include:
* The EpsilonZeta Chapter at the
University of
Connecticut pledged
16 men, marking the
pinnacle of a yearlong plan to become
the largest fraternity on campus.
* The KappaOmega Chapter at
the University of
North CarolinaCharlotte, not giving
in to the excuse of
being a largely commuter campus, witnessed a 300%
increase in spring rush, pledging 12
men.
* The New Jersey
duo of Nu-Iota
(Rowan) and Xi-Rho
(Richard Stockton)
had a 75% and 100%
increase in pledges,
respectively. Kappa
Sigma is again thriving in the Garden
State.
* Also in the
Northeast, one of
Kappa Sigma’s
youngest chapters,
Omicron-Epsilon
(Adelphi), recruited
18 pledges, marking a 64% increase
versus last spring. By the end of the
school year, the group will have
increased its membership by 50% since
installation—to more than 50 men—
further solidifying its #1 rank on campus.
These Chapters joined traditional
recruitment powerhouses across the
nation who again posted outstanding
spring increases, including: EpsilonSigma (Florida State), Alpha-Gamma
(Illinois), Theta-Upsilon (Miami of
Ohio), Beta-Theta (Indiana), EpsilonPhi (Texas Tech), Epsilon-Xi (UTEP),
Epsilon-Iota (San Diego State), Mu
(Washington and Lee), Delta-Delta
(Florida), Beta-Nu (Kentucky), Xi-Delta
(UTSA) and Xi-Chi (Northern
Colorado).
Undergraduates from these chapters and others are helping to keep
Kappa Sigma the most preferred fraternity in North America yet again this
year.
According to Champion Quest
Commissioner, Kirk M. Chewning,
“we must not rest contentedly, as our
#1 standing continues to be challenged
each day by our competition.
Many of our chapters tell us that
rush is down on their respective campuses, and yet our chapters continued
to grow,” said Brother Chewning. “This
is only possible because they do not let
‘low formal rush’ numbers deter them.
Successful chapters and colonies generate interest on their own and are not
satisfied with the usual suspects walking through the door during formal
rush week. They proactively recruit
students who otherwise may not have
been introduced to Kappa Sigma, but
share in its values.”
The men of the Spokane Colony at Gonzaga
University pause for a picture with ARM Kevin
Madsen. The colony has recruited 64 men this
spring and is looking to become #1 in the
Champion Quest Top 25.

Fall ’05 Mid-Term Ru
I
n October 2005, the Supreme
Executive Committee announced the
first-ever “Mid-Term Rush
Challenge,” asking for chapters to conduct a second rush effort and pledge
class beginning in October or November
of 2005. The goal was to recruit at least
five new pledges. More than 20 chapters
and colonies met the Challenge using
innovative techniques such as pledgerecruits-a-pledge, amoung others. Below
are the chapters or colonies that recruited the Top 5 largest Mid-Term Rush
pledge classes. Ties in the rankings
were decided by greatest percentage
increase in overall chapter or colony
membership size. Total membership figures are as of Jan. 1, 2006.
Armstrong Atlantic Colonly’s Fall Mid-Term Rush helped put the group over the top in its
development program. On April 1, 2006 the colony was installed as the Omicron-Iota Chapter
of Kappa Sigma.

“The added man power and other surprising benefits

ship at our chapter,” added Brother Prokopiuk.
University of Alberta, for example, implemented a successful Mid-Term BIA for Pledges program last
fall and was surprised by various unexpected
rewards.
“First of all, rush was a lot easier for the
mid-term effort because we had our guys from
our first pledge class of the semester excited
about bringing people they knew into the chapter,” said Brother Mark P. Prokopiuk, GM of
Epsilon-Alpha. “Plus nobody else was recruiting
at that time so we had no competition!”
Epsilon-Alpha picked up six additional
pledges in its fall Mid-Term Rush effort, but
according to Brother Prokopiuk, the increased
numbers were not the only benefit. “Doing this
boosted morale in the chapter as well, especially for the new guys. They learned how to
recruit right off the bat as part of their pledge
education, and were excited about being able to

Brother Prokopiuk admits that figuring out
how to schedule the third class was not the easiest thing to do at first, but even that produced
exciting results for the chapter. “We had to
shorten the pledge period a little bit to finish
before winter break, but it was really not that
difficult. Some weeks we did two events a week
with all of the Brothers and pledges, and we
also did more events on campus to make it
more convenient for guys to show up.”
“We were getting together more often and in
higher numbers and it really increased the visibility of the chapter on campus,” Brother
Prokopiuk said. “This is the first time that I
can remember when other students refer to us
as the fraternity that is really out there doing a
lot of things. It feels good for others to recognize your accomplishments.”

As the fraternity’s membership development
program, BIA aims to maximize the Kappa
Sigma experience through individual and
group goal setting and execution in areas of
Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship and
Service. Particularly as it relates to daily chapter operations, this not only requires consistent
guidance from volunteer, chapter and local
alumni, but also a variety of tools and programming to be available at each member’s
fingertips.
The online Brother Services section of
www.kappasigma.org provides just that. By
clicking on the link at the bottom right side of
the fraternity homepage, any pledge or initiate
can quickly apply for access, set a username
and password, and be up and running on
Brother Services within 24 hours. Once logged
in, the portal provides robust content to guide
chapter, colony and volunteer operations.
At the chapter membership development
level, its contents range from BIA manuals,
pledge education templates and sample Big
Brother programs, to guides for managing bylaws, conducting judicial board reviews and
completing chapter reporting to headquarters.
All these can be found within the “Chapter
Operations” section. Brother Services is also a
central reference point for executive officer
manuals, the Constitution, By-Laws and Rules
of Kappa Sigma and awards applications. It
even provides tools for facilitating My
Brother’s Keeper, Kappa Sigma’s alcohol/drug
education program (see story on Page 15), and
for improving chapter scholarship and ritual
proficiency.
Additionally, for Kappa Sigma colonies, the
“Colony Operations” section contains copies of
the BIA for Colonies Manual, a development
program checklist, resources for planning
installation and a list of all of the fraternity’s
current colonies.
For current and prospective alumni volunteers, the “Volunteer Operations” page contains
job description and organizational charts,
copies of manuals, policies and programs, and
a District Grand Master, Alumnus Advisor and
Assistant Alumnus Advisor training kit. This
section also includes valuable information on
starting an alumni chapter, including sample
by-laws, dues solicitations, newsletters and
recruitment guidelines.
If you have yet to do so, log into Brother
Services today, and begin leveraging the many
resources at our disposal in the pursuit of

2005-07 Biennium Goals:
$750,000 Raised
350,000 Volunteer Hours
To date this biennium, Kappa Sigma has donated
more than $320,000 and volunteered more than 79,000
hours to charitable causes, representing 43% and 23%
progress, respectively, towards our service goals for the
biennium. Undergraduate chapters and alumni during
the spring semester (as of Mar. 15, 2006) raised more
than $42,000 and volunteered more than 13,000 service
hours. One hundred forty-three chapters and colonies,
out of Kappa Sigma’s 239 total, have recorded a chapter
entry in the AGC database thus far this year.
Based on past service levels and input from chapter
advisors, the fraternity’s actual volunteer service hours
are believed to be significantly greater, but are not being
actively recorded in the Brother Services online database. Brothers should refer to the FAQ below for more

Frequently Asked AGC Questions
Where does the chapter go to log its hours?
http://brotherservices.kappasigma.org/bs_chapOpGCause.php
Why should we log our hours?
All chapters and Brothers are strongly urged to log hours for a few
reasons: 1) The hours and dollars logged for each chapter in the
online database are the basis for the fraternity’s AGC awards selection process; 2) Logging info aids the fraternity in its tracking and
evaluation of progress towards its community service goals; 3) Data
gathered online can be used to support our ongoing public relations
campaign to better educate the public on ways that Kappa Sigma
chapters and members give back to their communities.
Which database should the chapter use to log hours?
While each individual brother is encouraged to log his own individual
hours, it is the chapter database that will be used when evaluating
chapters for awards such as FACE and the A Greater Cause
Excellence award.
Do individual Brothers have to make their own entries or is it
optional?
The logging of hours in the individual database is optional … however, if a Brother wishes to apply for the Endowment Fund’s
Scholarship/Leadership Awards, an applicant will not earn points if
his hours are not logged into the personal database.

My Brother’s Keeper Program an
Unqualified Success
M
y Brother’s Keeper (MBK),
Kappa Sigma’s award-winning substance abuse program, has been helping brothers for
over 25 years. The Leadership &
Education Commission recently
revised and expanded the program,
to address topics other than alcohol
abuse, including drug abuse, date
rape and mental health.
“As atmospheres on college campuses have changed in recent years,
the need arose for MBK to adopt and
address additional issues”, noted
Commissioner Christian
Nascimento. “The revised program
reflects the challenges that our
undergraduate brothers face everyday on their campuses.”
At the 2005 Grand Conclave in
Las Vegas, Nevada, dozens of alumni
volunteers were trained as facilitators of the “new” MBK. Leadership &
Education Deputy Commissioner
George Dickson is spearheading
this effort, which has charged facili-
tators with bringing MBK to every
Kappa Sigma chapter in the U.S.
and Canada.
The revamped
MBK not only
focuses on dangers other than
alcohol abuse,
but also utilizes the Star
& Crescent
as the structural basis
for the program. It has
received strong
initial reviews
from undergraduate,
who have commented
that the expanded program, in
addition to aiding in the awareness
of potentially abusive behavior, also
helps chapters proactively keep
members morally focused.
More than a hundred undergraduates and alumni have participated in
the program already this school year,
spanning geographies as diverse as
Kansas, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Idaho, and Arkansas.
Additional requests for
district conclaves
and chapter visits
have been coming in every
day. Having
had Brother
Dickson tour
his district,
facilitating
MBK at each
chapter,
Arkansas DGM
Charlie Kinslow
commented, “This is a
great program, and one
that Kappa Sigma is right to support. Brother Dickson did a wonderful job.”
To schedule an MBK session at
your chapter or district, please contact your DGM, AA or Brother
Dickson at
[email protected].
Kappa Sigma University Expands Across Fraternity
The Kappa Sigma University program, officially launched in
Philadelphia, Pa. in November 2005,
continues to benefit undergraduate
and alumni brothers across North
America. Based on early successes,
requests for the program have
ranged from Southern California to
upstate New York.
The Kappa Sigma University is a
character and values based leadership program, designed to help our
brothers reach their fullest potential. The initial curriculum has
been based on the general principles
of personal character, and planning
has already commenced for a second
segment on leadership that will be
rolled out this fall. R. Greg Dixon,
DGM, Central Oklahoma, summarizes that the program “addresses
core issues that brothers will need
throughout their lives.”
Leadership & Education Deputy
Commissioner Derek Marchman
facilitated Kappa Sigma University
programs at district and multi-district conclaves in Oklahoma and
New Mexico in February. More than
200 brothers attended each event.
One undergraduate (who preferred
not to be named) commented that if
his chapter had heard the presentation three months earlier, it might
have helped them avoid being
placed on probation.
“At Kappa Sigma University, I
was reminded of a primary core concept—take personal responsibility
and realize that YOU control what
happens,” commented Worthy
Grand Scribe Jody L. Bailey, who
attended the session in New Mexico.
The Leadership & Education
Commission is aggressively rolling
out the Kappa Sigma University to
the entire Fraternity. The weekend
of Mar. 4, 2006 saw several hundred
more brothers take part in the program, as it was presented concurrently at multi-district conclaves in
Boise, Idaho and Western Kentucky.
Sessions have also already been
scheduled for spring ’06 at multidistrict conclaves in South Carolina,
Tennessee and North Carolina. An
introduction and full session will
also be presented this summer at
the Leadership Conferences in
Cincinnati and Salt Lake City.
Commissioner Christian
Nascimento also anticipates
demand for the initial program carrying into this fall.
If you would like Kappa Sigma
University to come to your chapter
or district, contact Brother
Nascimento at [email protected] or
Brother Marchman at

changed, some things never do—
like the character and friendship
that you experience among your
Brothers. You will find that
character years from now when
you are at an event like this and
you can [look across the room]
and say...I remember him. The
value of lasting friendships, the
kind of friendships that you are
making at Beta-Lambda and
other [chapters], the kind that I
formed at Georgia, as a Kappa
Sigma, will stay with you
always.”
Regarding the current state
of the fraternity today, Brother
Perdue said, “I am so honored to
see the philanthropy that’s going
on in the service to others and
the scholarship [in our chapters]. We benefit from a reputation of our affiliation with our
fraternity throughout our lives
and it will be up to future generations and classes to keep that
reputation here.”
In closing, he stated, “Kappa
Sigma has enriched my life in so
many ways and you have added
very much to that enrichment
tonight. Thank you and God
Bless You.”
The Kappa Sigma Fraternity Man of
the Year Award was established in 1937 to
honor a Brother who has achieved fame in
industry, the arts, science, government, or
another professional field, and whose
accomplishments have honored the
Fraternity.
Nominations for the award have been
made by a multitude of people, ranging
from Kappa Sigma Brothers, to co-workers
and family, and are
reviewed and determined by the Supreme
Executive Committee.
The first Kappa
Sigma Man of the Year
was President of
American Airlines and
an initiate of the Tau
Chapter at the
University of Texas,
Brother Cyrus R.
Smith (pictured at

In the history of the
Award, 72 Brothers have received this distinguished honor. It has been presented to
six governors, six congressmen and senators, 27 industrialists and business leaders, six doctors and scientists, five journalists, and three Brothers who distinguished
themselves in the field of athletic competition, among others.

Endowment
The History and Mission
of the Endowment Fund
T
he Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund was established in 1919 with the stated purpose of supporting “the charitable and beneficent purposes of the
Kappa Sigma Fraternity.” During its earliest years,
funds for the work of the Endowment Fund came from
donations of a small number of alumni plus a small portion of each undergraduate’s initiation fee.
There was little in the way of regular fund raising
programs until the 1960’s, when mail solicitations to
alumni began. These solicitations, though intermittent,
slowly increased the corpus of the Endowment Fund.
In the 1980’s, the Fraternity began probing for ideas
to increase contributions. These efforts led to the establishment of creative new recognition programs, such as
the McCormick Circle, which recognizes lifetime donors,
and the Heritage Society, to encourage alumni to include
the Endowment Fund in their estate planning. In 1989,
the program that would become the Endowment’s greatest success to date, “One of Jackson’s Men,” was introduced (see story on page 22).
The Endowment Fund has gone on to became the sole
fundraising arm of Kappa Sigma, absorbing responsibility for the fraternity’s annual alumni dues campaign and
other solicitation programs.
Why donate to the Endowment Fund? The answer is
simple. The fact that you are reading this article is evidence that you care about Kappa Sigma Fraternity, and
the Endowment Fund is a major reason why Kappa
Sigma leads the Fraternal World.
Today, Kappa Sigma is the most affordable college
fraternity on the North American continent, with costs
well below its competitors. Endowment Fund grants
totaling $500,000 or more per year to help fund the
Fraternity’s educational programs, including its alcohol
and drug education program, My Brothers Keeper,
which is recognized as a leader in this important area.
In addition, the Endowment Fund helps fund
Leadership Conferences at Conclaves, which have
brought together as many as one thousand brothers for
value based programs that help prepare them to assume
leadership roles in their chapters, on their campuses
and in their communities. We are building better men
and better citizens of the world.
The signature program of the Endowment Fund for
many years has been the Scholarship/Leadership
Awards. Each year, outstanding undergraduate brothers
receive recognition and scholarship stipends based upon
their academic achievement, chapter and campus leadership positions, Kappa Sigma involvement and community service. Thousands of brothers have received encouragement in their academic pursuits and financial assistance totaling more than $4 million through these
awards.
Currently, the Endowment Fund is in the midst of the
most ambitious project in its history. The Renaissance
Campaign kicked off approximately two years ago with
the goal of raising the necessary funds to erect a new
Headquarters for the Fraternity.
The help of every Kappa Sigma who cares about the
Order is still strongly needed. There are many ways of
helping insure the future of our beloved Order. For information about how you can help, contact the Endowment
Fund office at: Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund, P.O. Box

Headquarters Construction
T
here is a sight to warm
Brothers hearts as they drive
south on Highway 20 in
Charlottesville, Va. Approximately
one mile from exit 121, off I-64, they
will see that land has been cleared,
foundations laid and walls are being
erected on a hillside facing Carter’s
Mountain. Yes, Brothers, it is the
new Kappa Sigma International
Headquarters.
This edifice, which is destined to
be the envy of the fraternal world, is
scheduled for completion in spring
2007, culminating years of planning
and dreaming.
Occupying eight acres of landscaped hillside very close to
Monticello, the ancestral home of
Thomas Jefferson, and only a short
drive from the campus of the
University of Virginia, the Kappa
Sigma International Headquarters
will quickly become one of the showplaces of Charlottesville.
The Russel Lee Wiener Main
Headquarters
Building will house
not only administrative offices for the
Kappa Sigma
Fraternity and the
Kappa Sigma
Endowment Fund, but
also a museum that
will display historical
and Kappa Sigma
memorabilia, documents and artifacts
accumulated over the
decades since 1869. A
300-seat model chapter/conference room will occupy the
top floor of the three-story structure.
The continued support of all
Kappa Sigmas is needed to finance
the project’s remaining construction.
There are many recognition levels—
one for any budget. This is indeed a
once in a lifetime opportunity for
Brothers of all ages who have
enjoyed or are currently enjoying a
rewarding undergraduate experience
to help insure that future Kappa
Sigmas, including those generations
as yet unborn, will reap the benefits
of this perpetual home for our Order.

One of
Jackson’s
Men
The most successful fund raising
program in the history of the Kappa
Sigma Endowment Fund was born
during a late night discussion
between the then Endowment Fund
Chairman Luke J. Schissel and
Trustee Dr. John W. Ryan, to
devise a method for encouraging
regular donations by interested
brothers. It was the fertile mind of
Brother Ryan that conceived naming a recognition group “One of
Jackson’s Men”, honoring the memory of the Golden Hearted Virginian,
Stephen Alonzo Jackson.
The Executive Director of Kappa
Sigma, Mitchell B. Wilson, and a
District Grand Master, William O.
Waters, were asked to assist in
fleshing out the program. Details
were agreed upon and the program
was proposed to the Trustees at a
meeting in Lake Charles, Louisiana
in early 1989. Some reservations
were expressed by two of the
Trustees and thus the final approval
did not come until several weeks
later.
A distinctive lapel pin bearing
the likeness of Brother Jackson was
designed by Brother Wilson. Brother
Waters was appointed as the first
Jackson Scribe. The program was
introduced at the 1989 Grand
Conclave in Tampa with 29 brothers
donating or pledging $1000 or more
to become members. Much to the
surprise of many, three of the initial
members were undergraduates.
They were Jack Buchheit of
Kappa-Iota (Middle Tennessee),
Steve Loghry of Alpha-Iota
(Tennessee/Chattanooga) and Larry
Deily of Epsilon-Upsilon (North
Texas).
Jackson’s Men pins are sequentially numbered and the first were
presented at the Jackson’s Men
reception held at the Conclave.
Chairman Schissel received pin
number one, Vice-Chairman Ryan
received pin number two, and pin
three went to then Endowment
Fund Trustee Brian J. O’Dwyer.
Pins number four and five were
assigned to Jackson Scribe Waters
and Executive Director Wilson.
Much skepticism greeted the statement by Brother Waters that the
time would come when pins would
be numbered in the thousands.
That prediction has proven true as
pins numbered in the 2000’s are
now being awarded.
Chapters with 10 or more initiates enrolled as Jackson’s Men are
designated “One of Jackson’s
Chapters”. Among the first chapters
to receive this designation were
Epsilon-Pi (Memphis), Epsilon-Beta
(Miami), Xi (Arkansas) and ThetaZeta (Eastern New Mexico). ThetaZeta now enjoys the distinction of
having the most initiates enrolled
with 61, followed by Xi with 44.
Surprisingly, in recent years even
our undergraduate Brothers have
become enthusiastic about the program and each year at Conclaves,
Leadership Conferences and other
meetings these brothers have
stepped up, made their pledges and
received their pins. In addition to
being a source of income for the
work of the Endowment Fund, the
program thus instills a habit of giv-
ing to the Order early in brothers’
Kappa Sigma life.
In addition to pins, Jackson’s
Men also received a distinctive
framed certificate of membership.
Duplicate certificates are sent to
their chapter of initiation to be
prominently displayed upon the
walls of the Chapter house. There is
also a “Roll of Jackson’s Men” that
is kept at the Kappa Sigma
Headquarters with the name, chapter of initiation and pin number of
each member.
The process for enrolling as One
of Jackson’s Men is quite painless,
as pledges can be paid over a period
as long as three years on a monthly,
quarterly or annual basis. Only $28
per month will enroll a brother as
“One of Jackson’s Men”.
There is a second phase that was
added to the program known as the
Jackson’s Men enhancement.
Brothers can pledge an additional
$500 and receive a white band to
encircle their pin, $1000 and receive
a white and emerald green band or
$1500 and receive a white, emerald
green and scarlet band. This program also has met with success
with well over 100 brothers having
elected to take part.
As the Endowment Fund continues to strengthen the Order With
grants to the Fraternity and scholarships to its undergraduate
Brothers, the “One of Jackson’s
Men” program will play a vital role.
If you have not already done so,
please consider becoming “One of
Jackson’s Men.”
Brothers Step Up During “Honoring Stephen
Alonzo Jackson” Fundraising Effort
To honor Brother Jackson and benefit Kappa Sigma, the Area Development Managers recently contacted all
Renaissance Campaign Chairmen and/or chapter Alumnus Advisors in a special fundraising push leading up to
Steven Alonzo Jackson Day on March 4th. The goal was to add as many new Brothers as possible to the “One of
Jackson’s Men” rolls and secure enhancement contributions to benefit the Renaissance Campaign and headquarters construction project. We are proud to announce that over just a two-week span, these efforts resulted in new
contributions in excess of $125,000, from the more than 80 generous brothers, listed below.

Q: What led your group at UNCC to become a chapter of Kappa Sigma?
A: We had many options to choose from and we were
very close to becoming a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. They
were headquartered in Charlotte and were looking to
start a chapter at UNCC. In the end, we chose Kappa
Sigma because it was the finest fraternal organization in America.
Q: What impacted you most about the Founding Fathers of KappaOmega?
A: I would have to say the diversity of the group. We were a diverse
but unified group of 32 charter members. We rushed quality men from all
walks of life; found common ground, loved each other very much and even
worshipped together.
Q: Was there an individual that made a particularly strong impression
upon you during that time?
A: I would definitely have to say Brother Henry Nichols. He was a
fantastic man and was our first AA, and later DGM in the ’70s. He was
also a recipient of the DGM of the Year Award. I greatly admired him and
would definitely say he impacted my life as a young man.

Clay Rahn (‘98) recently earned
the distinction as an Ironman and
attributed his success to lessons he
learned as an undergraduate.
“One big thing Kappa Sigma
taught me a lot about was commitment,” Brother Rahn said. “About a
year after graduation I became
involved in triathlons (swimming,
biking and running). I actually
thought about completing a full
Ironman as an undergraduate, but
didn’t begin to seriously train until a
year after graduation. Once I felt ‘in
shape’ enough (2001), I completed
my first short triathlon. Since then
I’ve completed more than 30
triathlons and have thoroughly
enjoyed each and every one, even
being an overall winner at one this
past year! Finally, this past
November 5th I competed in my first
full Ironman triathlon—a 2.4-mile
ocean swim, 112-mile bike ride and
26.2-mile run. It was a life-changing
experience to say the least. But
many of the values that Kappa
Sigma taught me I used during this
race.”

newspaper, Dan Peterson (’55) was
voted the best coach in the 70-year
history of Olympia Milan, Italy’s
most storied basketball club, with
some 25 national championships to
go with myriad other trophies.
Q: How did serving as Grand Master prepare you for the years after
college?
A: It prepared me for situational decision making. The tasks of the
office mentored me as did the Brothers in the chapter. It also showed me
that life is not about you, it’s about others and focusing on helping the
men in the chapter become better men.
Q: How do you view the fraternity now, a few years further down the
road?
A: When we recently gathered 25 out of our original 32 charter members it was amazing. We looked different but the bond that Kappa Sigma
allowed us to develop had not changed even though our lives had gone in
different directions. It was like we were back in college all over again.
Kappa Sigma fostered that bond.
Q: What advice would you give to today’s undergraduate brothers?
A: Don’t fall into the trap of allowing social activities to be your main
focus. Work hard on your relationships with each other and let the
strength of your bonds be your primary focus. Also, that we should never
neglect our focus on our creator and faith and our relationship with Him.
Brothers from the 1950s (pictured

Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell
(‘50), 1971 Kappa Sigma Man of the
Year, was recently presented the
Ambassador of Exploration Award
during ceremonies at the South
Florida Science Museum in West
Palm Beach, Fla.
The home of Brittany
Blacklidge (’95), and his family, was
hit by Hurricane Katrina on Aug. 29,
2005. “When I was initiated I did not
know how the relationships that I
made at Kappa Sigma would help
me down the road. Also another
pledge brother, Oliver King
“Bucky” Batte (’96) was flooded
down the road from my home. After
one exhausting week of removing
debris with little progress we knew
that we needed some outside help. I
placed a call to some of my brothers
and without a hesitation they loaded
up supplies and headed south. Even
though the work was hard and in a
devastated area they worked selflessly. The group included Marc
Bryant (’96), Lee James (’96) Trey
Sutton (’96), Johnny Fair (’96) and
Kris Brown (’99). Only brotherhood
relationships that were formed at
the Kappa Sigma house could have
helped Bucky and I back on our feet
during this horrible time. I want to
thank these amazing brothers for the
help that they gave us at that time. I
hope that they know understand
how much it meant,” said Brother
Blacklidge.
Having been a chapter at the
University of Florida home since
1922, Kappa Sigma has faced its
share of challenges over the years,
and now excels since recolonization
in 2001. Due to the hard work and
determination of the active members
and a small core of alumni, the chapter has grown to 119 men, and has
become one of the most prestigious
fraternities on campus and one of the
most successful chapters nationwide.
The time has come to build a new
house to carry on the Kappa Sigma
tradition. A home to carry on the
beliefs and rituals inspired centuries
ago by the Greek emissary Manuel
Chrysoloras. The Crescent House
Campaign was launched in August
2005 to make this dream a reality.
In August, a ground-breaking ceremony was held and the existing
structures were torn down to make
room for the new Kappa Sigma
Fraternity house.
The 25,000-square-foot facility
will be a classically styled, state-ofthe-art home for future generations
of young men. Up to 50 men will live
in suite-style rooms, which will offer
all of the amenities found in the
newest dorms and apartments.
The estimated cost of this honorable endeavor is nearly $4 million.
Even though a significant portion
will be covered by rent revenues
from the active brother residents, we
need to raise a total of $2 million in
donations from the Kappa Sigma
alumni, parents and friends. While it
may sound like a monumental task,
nearly $700,000 has been pledged to
this project already! We still have a
considerable road to travel.
Leave your legacy.

career one can feel passionate about.
“My journey to career passion
started in Charlotte, N.C. I walked
away from a six-figure income due to
lack of inspiration. In trying to find
the right career, I knew I could not
have 100 jobs, but I could talk to 100
people about their jobs and why they
enjoyed them. My website and journey, www.iamontheroad.com, was
born on April 6, 2004. Since then I
have traveled more than 35,000
miles and interviewed more than 100
passionate people. My talks consist
of me sharing my story, but then
sharing the stories and advice of my
interview subjects. I’ve been able to
sit down with an astronaut at NASA,
a chief justice of a state supreme
court, a first responder to the 9/11
attacks, the former head of marketing at Hallmark, the former mayor of
Key West, Fla., a retired Navy
Captain, a Las Vegas strip club manager, a corporate lawyer turned
sportswriter, and a maintenance
man with a degree in aerospace engineering, just to name a few. My journey has gained a large following of
people via word of mouth and media
exposure. My book will be done

Every year, for the past 10 years, the Houston Alumni Association has managed to
get together over the extended (for some) Martin Luther King weekend. With only
one exception, when they went skiing, they have been visiting various state parks in
various areas around Texas. This year they had to be particularly creative since there
was a total burn-ban over all of Texas, and campfires were limited to non-wood burning or in barbeque pits only. Luckily it wasn’t too cold.
Each year seems to get bigger and better. This year they had 16 Brothers, representing eight different colleges, including Sam Houston State, Texas A&M, Baylor,
Colorado School of Mines, Delta State, Oklahoma City University, Georgia Tech and
Boston University.
Other than the obvious draw of getting away from family obligations for a weekend, the Brothers also hike, bike, play football and horseshoes, eat huge meals, socialize and watch the football playoff games on a big-screen TV with a satellite dish. This
year was extra special for two reasons. First, this was the 10th anniversary of this
annual outing, and second, Houston Alumni Chapter President and 1996 John G.
Tower Award recipient, Jay Donnella was able to present the 2006 John G. Tower
Award to fellow camper and Brother, Todd Hopkins!

Indiana District Gathers for Founder’s Day
Thirty-seven Brothers from the chapters in the Indiana District gathered on Founder’s Day at the Alpha-Pi Chapter to share in a day of fellowship, brain storming, problem solving, and chapter planning. The
Brothers spent the morning gaining additional recruitment ideas with
the Area 3 Recruitment Manager, Brendan O’Connor and discussing
ways to improve chapter operations and running meetings. The afternoon was spent discussing problems that face most chapters regularly
such as Code of Conduct problems, financial problems and troublesome
Brothers.
The GM from the Alpha-Pi Chapter remarked following the event that
“my guys got a great deal from the workshops.” The entire day was determined to be a great success and brothers are looking forward to future
district events.
Endowment Fund Scholarship-Leadership Awards were presented to
20 individuals from the Indiana District. The Theta-Xi chapter (Tri-State)
was recognized for having the greatest percentage of brothers applying
for a Scholarship-Leadership Award. Theta-Xi was also recognized for
having over 50% of the chapter holding a level of ritual proficiency. The
Chi chapter (Purdue) was awarded the DGM Cup for winning the dodge
ball competition and was recognized for having the most participants at
Founder’s Day. The Alpha-Pi Chapter (Wabash) received a John Tower
Award for Brother Steve Ferguson’s accomplishments.

their medical expenses. Afterwards,
OSU police officer Jim Compston
gave a presentation on safety about
not only bikes, but also pedestrian
and motor vehicle safety. With the

Epsilon (Centenary)
In response to the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina, several alumni of the chapter have formed The Five Friends and Brothers Foundation,
a non-profit organization to help fund and organize relief efforts for individuals and other charitable and non-profit institutions in South
Louisiana. Many of the Founding Brothers had friends and family who
lost everything to Katrina. The foundation was formed to help fund relief
efforts for individuals and smaller, less-known charitable and non-profit
organizations. The Brothers gave the foundation a more general name
with the intention that it be used to provide relief for any other natural
disasters that further damage South Louisiana. As it grows, the Brothers
hope to also use the foundation for other charitable purposes in and
around their home chapter.
The foundation will be seeking contributions from a broad range of
Kappa Sigma and Centenary College alumni. Board members are David
Castille (’97), Joshua Christensen (’95), David Clampitt (’96),
Thomas Eskew (’95), Matthew Morgan (’95), Jason Ogwyn (’96),

behind the theme, “Kappa Sigma,

On Dec. 3 the chapter held a philanthropy called “Hold ‘Em for the
Homeless,”
designed to collect
canned food for the
local food bank.
Every person was
required to bring in 10 cans of food
to play in this free Texas Hold ‘Em
tournament. More than 70 people
participated, which means more than
700 cans of food collected. First place
received an ipod, which was donated
by alumnus Russel Kim (’82). This
philanthropy was a huge success and
the Norman food bank was very
grateful.
The chapter placed second in the
annual U-Sing competition with the
Chi Omega sorority. Many thanks to
the directors Michael Kesler and
Jeremy Parker who worked for
many months and long nights.
During Homecoming, the chapter
teamed up with the Delta Gamma

banner competition. Every organization was required to make a banner
representing the theme of homecoming, “Everything Gone Pop!” Many
thanks to Kenny Simms for his help
with this. During the football game
the chapter decided to try something
new this year and have a tent off

Kappa-Delta (South Florida)
Spring rush was
an enormous success
for the chapter. The
chapter pinned an impressive
amount of pledges, placing us among
the top recruiters on our campus.
The chapter has continued its athletic excellence and is poised to capture
yet another intramural fraternity
sports title. The chapter did extraordinarily well in the past homecoming
while participating with the lovely
ladies of Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma
Delta Tau. In typical fashion, Kappa
Sigma was the only fraternity to host
only sororities as partners but still
finished second overall among
Greeks. The chapter also placed first
overall in Delta Gamma’s annual
Anchor Splash philanthropy event,
with a unique dance ensemble that
certainly captured the crown.
Kappa-Gamma
(Northern Arizona)
It has been another critical
rebuilding year for Kappa-Gamma.
The chapter had a great
rush last fall increasing
its size 41 percent, and
in the process recruiting
numerous high quality
men. The chapter has
participated in Gamma Phi Beta
Golf, as well as having a social with
Alpha Omicron Pi and Chi Omega.
The chapter continues to become
more involved with campus life by
having Brother Patrick Sloane on

Xi-Rho (Richard Stockton)
The chapter recently initiated five
new Brothers, with a great pledge
period led by Anthony Carafa. The
chapter hopes to initiate more than
10 this spring and with our new EC
members the chapter believes this
goal is highly attainable.
The chapter’s fourth annual Polar
Plunge in February raised more than
$1,500 for the Spread the Magic
Foundation; the purpose of this
organization is to perform magic
shows for children who have cancer.
Not only did 30 Brothers participate
in this event, the chapter had support from Greek community, and
from the administration of the college. The brothers have received
attention from the local newspapers,
and even had a press release from
the college.
Student Trustee Andrew D.
Klimkowski, has received the New
Jersey Distinguished Service Medal,
the state’s highest military award.
Brother Klimkowski is currently
serving in his first term on the Board
as Student Trustee Alternate. He
won an election of student body voters to win the seat on the Board and
is the fourth Kappa Sigma to be
elected to serve.

During the Christmas Break, the
Brothers kept themselves busy by
means of travel. One group flew to
Canada for a week on the slopes
while another journeyed to
Tennessee for the Music City Bowl
in Nashville and New Year’s Eve festivities in Memphis. Eventually,
more than half of the chapter wound
up in Texas for its annual gathering;
a gathering that has proven to be an
invaluable time for both active and
prospective Brothers.
Jacob Allen Dickson was intiated into the Beta Omega Chapter
of Kappa Sigma (Colorado College) on Dec. 10, 2005 at Colorado
College. Paul M. Dickson, alumni of Beta-Omega and former GMC
assisted in the intiation. It was moving evening for both father and
son that illustrates both the life-long value and continuity of the
Order.
Justin Hughes was
initated in December 2005
to Gamma-Omicron at the
University of Kansas in
Lawrence Kansas. His
father, Robert, was initiated in 1977 at GammaChi at Kansas State. “Our
schools are rivals, but
having my son as a Kappa
Sig makes this much
sweeter,” the elder
Brother Hughes said. “I
attended his initiation
ceremony and participated
in his journey to become a
Kappa Sigma. It was a
great experience for both
of us and one of the highlights of my life.”
Seven Kappa Sigmas in the Brown and Robinson families recently gathered
at a family wedding in Los Angeles. Pictured, from left to right, are David
Brown (Gamma, LSU, ’93), Cole Robinson (Theta-Lambda, Texas State, ’64),
Ben Brown (Gamma ’81), Dr. Ed Brown (Epsilon-Gamma, Louisiana Tech,

’83), Ronald Robinson (Epsilon-Gamma ’51). There are two other Robinson
boys, John’s son, Keith (age 6) and Jeff ’s son, Schuyler (age 5), who look forward to wearing the Star and Crescent in the future.
