Rush 2010
Kappa Sigma Epsilon-Phi Chapter
The Chapter of Epsilon Phi Kappa Sigma would like to congratulate all of those who have decided to rush. Rush is the time to find a group of people to consort with. Kappa Sigma is made up of a diverse group of men, that make it easy to call Kappa Sigma home. Here at Kappa Sigma we pride ourselves in being the best in every aspect from scholastics, to intermurals.
Starting your pledgeship

About Kappa Sigma

Where your journey begins…
Kappa Sigma’s pledge education process involves cultivating the new member with the basic knowledge necessary to understand the fraternity’s history, founding, growth, leadership structure, and responsibility within the Greek community as a whole.
On a more personal level, the pledge program cultivates time management and personal development skills which become critical throughout college and beyond. In addition, emphasis is placed on the importance of responsibility to one’s self in terms of academic, fraternal and community obligations.
Financial Obligation
During the pledge period, there are two necessary fees that must be paid to the Headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia.
All other fees and dues are determined by the local chapter. Never should a student be pledged or initiated into Kappa Sigma without the above fees being paid prior to the ceremony; non-registration to the Headquarters may be the result.
Scholastic Obligation
The minimum GPA for pledging and initiation is determined by the Chapter and the host institution. All scholarship questions can be directed to the Scholarship Chairman of the chapter.
Fellowship, Leadership, Service Obligations
These three obligations all vary based on each chapter’s pledging program. Nonetheless, expect to be immediately involved with community service projects with the chapter brothers, campus organizations and leadership programming, and countless brotherhood and teamwork building activities.
The Creed of a Kappa Sigma
One of the first aspects a new member sees and hears upon joining Kappa Sigma is the Star and Crescent. This creed is the spoken motto of all Kappa Sigma men and its words reflect the ideals of the fraternity. Here is the Star and Crescent as found in the Bononia Docet; the history book all pledges receive.
