Joining Kappa Sigma
Kappa Sigma’s pledge education process involves cultivating the new candidate 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. Emphasis is placed on the importance of responsibility to one’s self in terms of academic, fraternal, and community obligations.
Join us at our upcoming Rush events to learn more about joining the Lambda-Zeta chapter of The Kappa Sigma Fraternity.

The Creed of 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.
The Star and Crescent
“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.”
Parents Club
Joining the Kappa Sigma Fraternity at VCU is a great way for your son to learn crucial life skills outside of the classroom. We believe in positively impacting the community while ensuring that all of our members experience personal, academic, and professional growth while at VCU and beyond. We can best fulfill this belief with the help of involved parents.
As a Kappa Sigma your son will live by the values that we hold dear – Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. We call them The Four Pillars of Kappa Sigma.
We will soon form a Parents Club to help keep parents connected. It will also be an opportunity to coordinate activities with our undergraduate chapter and to connect with the alumni chapter. If you are an interested parent and wish to be involved in the Parents Club, please email by clicking the button below.
Our New Parent Directory
With the formation of the Parents Club we will publish a Parent Directory – a complete listing of parents of undergraduate chapter members. Please note that this directory will be distributed only upon request to secure the privacy of those listed. When published,* parents can obtain a copy by contacting the Lambda-Zeta Alumni Association Grand Scribe, Monirom Southakakoumar.
