Fraternity History
Mission Statement
Vision: An organization with an even more dominating presence at Texas A&M University at College Station, with strong, diverse representation and involvement in other Registered Student Organizations, complete with becomingly reputed gentlemen, reverent scholars, and well developed leaders amidst the chapter and the community.
Mission: To cultivate a Brotherhood in which we counsel our members in accordance with the teachings of our ritual and the principles embodied in the Star and Crescent, instilling in the verdant: a sense of duty to our fellow man and the world, scholarly discipline, behavior and etiquette conventionally accepted by society, and professional civility.
Fellowship
Want to get more from your college life? Kappa Sigma makes it happen. Joining Kappa Sigma provides opportunities for fellowship, fun and personal growth that you simply can't get elsewhere. Over 230,000 men have joined and enjoyed the unmatched experiences, involvement and lifelong Brotherhood that Kappa Sigma offers. Kappa Sigma is no secret...our goal is to build better men.
Leadership
Take the lead. In Kappa Sigma, Brothers learn to get involved in their communities and take the lead when something needs to be done. Countless Brothers, including senators, governors and CEOs, have said Kappa Sigma gave them the leadership skills they needed to succeed.
Scholarship
You're in college for an education. Kappa Sigma helps you excel in the classroom. From its earliest beginnings in Renaissance Italy, Kappa Sigma has existed to promote scholarship in its members. Over $300,000 is awarded each year by the Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund to Brothers who excel in scholarship and leadership. At the chapter level, Brothers help you learn about the campus, provide advice on professors and classes and help you study for those important assignments.
Service
Helping others is part of being a Kappa Sigma. Brothers spend thousands of hours working in their communities and raise thousands of dollars for worthy causes each year. From organizing park clean-ups to serving as Big Brothers to organizing charity rock concerts, Kappa Sigmas work hard for their causes. College is fun, but only service gives you the great feeling of knowing you've helped someone and made a difference.
A Statement About Hazing
"Hazing is fundamentally at odds with the ideals of Kappa Sigma." We in the Mu-Gamma Chapter recognize that hazing is demeaning, demoralizing and an inappropriate, ineffective means of educating our members, as it creates a false sense of "earned respect." New members and initiates are bound by Kappa Sigma’s Code of Conduct and take very seriously the fact that "hazing runs contrary to any concepts of brotherhood." No member, pledge or initiate, will ever be subject to any forms of physical or mental abuse. Furthermore, we fully understand that, "conduct which represents hazing is illegal... universities and colleges prohibit hazing, often with expulsion from school as a sanction."
