A series of "back updates" have been made to our news for a history as this new server had not the updates. Event photos are to come as I receive them.

In lighter news, I hope everyone has had a wonderful Spring Holiday and wish everyone an ease at completing the rest of this semester.

April 22, 2006

What an amazing day for both Kappa Sigma fraternity and the men of Alpha Chapter. At an early hour on April 22, 2006, we were called on to become brothers of Kappa Sigma and join the largest fraternity organization in the world. After just over a year of hard work, we surprised everyone with how quickly and efficiently we went from a group of friends to a colony, and finally to a chapter.

After the installation ceremony, the banquet was a huge success. Four out of the five Supreme Executive Committee members attended, which is unprecedented. Andrew Foster told the story of how Alpha became a chapter, while WGM Donal L. "Pops" McClamrock, the keynote speaker, encouraged the chapter to continue to strive to be the best.


April 8, 2006

It's been a busy week for Kappa Sigma Alpha Colony. On Wednesday we teamed up with SDT to help out with their annual SDTwister. Our own Phil Gonzales won with a controversial decision by the judges, but we still love him.

Last night the brothers of Park Lane hosted another awesome party. The Not So Virgin Islands theme was a great idea and the decorations were perfect. Check out the pictures. Next up we have installation in TWO WEEKS, so that's very exciting.


March 21, 2006

At Chapter tonight, we elected the new Executive Committee. Congratulations to the new board:

  • GM - Ryan Powell
  • GP - Brother Massen
  • GMC - Chris Saden
  • GS - JB Johnson
  • GT - Jeff Damonte
In addition to the new leadership, the custom t-shirts arrived. If you were not at Chapter, please e-mail Phillip so you can pick it up. For those of you who are not pledged in, you will be going to Georgia Tech on April 1 at 11:00 am. Finally, if you are interested in the leadership conclave, please sign up on the conference and/or contact Ryan Eskridge.


March 7, 2006

Tonight we had an extremely successful Alumni dinner at Melton's, well planned by Brother Massen. There were about 9 Alumni there, including Worth Grand Master (WGM) Donal McClamroch, who was recently elected to the new Supreme Executive Committee.


February 28, 2006

Yesterday we dominated Quiz Bowl as part of Greek week only to get cheated out of winning by a bad bonus question. But our guys still did a great job and we earned some spirit points. Tonight is all row chapter, so don't forget!

If you want to order a t-shirt (below), email the conference entitled "KS Shirts" with your size, number (optional), and name that will appear on the back (optional). It's going to cost about $10 but the price decreases as more people order.


February 23, 2006

Good news! The SEC is voting on us tonight over a conference call at 9pm. By next week we will find out that we're an official chapter and when our installation will be. The possible dates are: March 25, April 1, April 15

Welcome to Kappa Sigma's sweet website. The most useful thing so far is the Brother's page, which has everyone's picture on it. You'll have an opportunity to change your picture a little later.

If you have any suggestions, please email me.
