About the chapter

As the largest and top-rated social fraternity worldwide, we uphold the four pillars of Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. Our brotherhood is a close-knit community where accountability and mutual support are paramount. Kappa Sigma members are leaders not only within our fraternity but also across the broader community. Joining Kappa Sigma offers limitless potential throughout your collegiate journey, providing an engaging and supportive environment. We invite potential new members to discover the exceptional opportunities our fraternity offers.

“Kappa Sigma is every members home away from home. I have had countless opportunities brought upon me from every which way. It has also taught me priceless leadership experience, friends that I will have for life, and an ever growing network with fellow members. Simply put, Kappa Sigma is a brotherhood like no other.”
