Kappa Sigma's ideals are centered around four pillars: Leadership, Fellowship, Scholarship, and Service.Kappa Sigmas are taught to live their lives by the Star and Crescent, which are the symbols of the Fraternity that make up the official badge. "The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man, but only by him who is worthy to wear it. He must be a gentleman... a man of honor and courage... a man of zeal, yet humble... an intelligent man...a man of truth... one who tempers action with wisdom and, above all else, one who walks in the light of God."

..Kappa Sigma itself claims its founding draws on historical events that occurred in the city of Bologna, Italy, in 1400 A.D. Manuel Chrysoloras, a Greek emissary teaching at the University of Bologna, formed with some of his students a society to protect one another against the unscrupulous governor of the city, a former pirate named Baldassarre Cossa. Cossa was infamous for sending robbers to attack and steal from foreigners — in this case, non-city residents. (Cossa, after leaving Bologna, later usurped the Papacy as an antipope under the name John XXIII.) It is also claimed that the knowledge has been passed along and incorporated into the American ritual, which is a well-guarded secret; no insight into the original order's rituals remains.Come visit Kappa Sigma @ VOIS.com

The fraternity is currently building a new headquarters after losing the title to a Charlottesville, VA mansion known as 'Colridge' in a long-running court battle. In 2002, along with Phi Sigma Kappa and Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Sigma dropped its long-time membership in the North-American Interfraternity Conference because of philosophical differences.Since the 2003-2004 academic year, Kappa Sigma has been the most-preferred men's college fraternity, pledging more new members than any other organization. With over 250,000 initiates it has set and broken its own all-time pledging and initiation records in each of the last 4 academic years.
