Mission Statement
The Fraternity should complement and enhance the educational mission of the host institution.
The Fraternity is committed to fostering a close cooperative partnership with all colleges and universities
where chapters exist. The Fraternity should promote academic achievement and assist each member to achieve
his academic potential. By helping members adjust to the college environment, we can help them pursue
their degree goals. Co-curricular activities can be as valuable as the classroom experience; hence,
the Fraternity should promote involvement in all aspects of campus life.
The Fraternity should promote the ideal of Brotherhood.
The creation of lifelong friendships is a primary benefit of Fraternity membership. The Fraternity fulfills
the need of students to belong to an extended family and frequently provides the opportunity to enhance
those personal relationships through group living situations. As Brothers, our members have an obligation
to have a caring concern for the welfare of our members. Brotherhood is a lifetime commitment; therefore,
we should encourage strong alumni-undergraduate relationships for the mutual benefit of the students
and the alumni.
The Fraternity should actively contribute to the personal growth and development of its members.
We teach young men social skills that will benefit them throughout their lifetime. The multitude of
leadership opportunities available through the Fraternity prepares members for success in their chosen
careers. Chapters should organize well-rounded programs and strive for excellence and quality in all
undertakings.
The Fraternity should promote ethical behavior and decision-making.
The lessons taught from the Fraternity ritual should be incorporated into the daily lives of the members.
Kappa Sigmas are expected to act as gentlemen at all times, and the Fraternity must demand the highest
standards of personal conduct. The Fraternity should instill a sense of responsibility and integrity.
The dignity of all persons shall always be respected; intolerant or abusive behavior cannot be tolerated.
The Fraternity should encourage service to others.
Members, individually and collectively, should work toward the betterment of their campus and community...
and in so doing contribute to the betterment of themselves.
