History of Kappa Sigma
Since Kappa Sigma’s traditional founding in the Fifteenth Century, the fraternity has been teaching young men to live by its watchwords: Diligence and Commitment. Kappa Sigma can trace its roots back over 600 years to Bologna, Italy and over 130 years back to when strong feelings of brotherhood lead five friends to form the first American chapter in 1869. From there, Kappa Sigma has become one of the largest Fraternities in the nation. With over 200 chapters, Kappa Sigma is teaching men from all over the country what it means to be a brother and what it takes to be worthy to wear the Star and Crescent. The Gamma-Kappa Chapter of Kappa Sigma at OU has been a fixture in the Greek community for 100 years, the longest continual chapter at OU. With continued successful rushes and the strong support of out alumni base, Kappa Sigma will thrive on the OU campus for years to come as well. Kappa Sigma has been located in Norman OK since 1906. The Gamma Kappa Chapter is older than even the state of Oklahoma. Please take the time to read more of the history of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity and of the Gamma-Kappa Chapter at OU.
