Read carefully. I didn't say it was. I referred to a thread where Kappa Sigmas represented that, despite what Robert Egan says in "From Here to Fraternity," Kappa Sigma requires initiates to profess belief in a Supreme Being, not unlike Freemasonry. As I said, the specifics of that belief can be up to the individual. But one can be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Zoroastrian, Hindu, possibly Buddhist, Unitarian-Universalist, Deist, Theist or any number of other things and affirm belief in a Supreme Being.
BTW, the pledge manual of Kappa Sigma,
Bononia Docet, states (on page 33):
Before any man can be initiated as a Kappa Sigma, he must give his word that he is not a member of another college fraternity and profess a belief in God, and scripture and its teachings. While the Ritual does not require adherence to any one religion, it requires belief in certain values, including that man is responsible to a higher authority.
ETA: Anything I know about this comes only from public sources and from discussion on GC, not from any knowledge of esoteric Kappa Sigma information. So don't take me as an authority on this -- just as someone who is passing along previously posted information that some friendly Kappa Sigs inform me may be a little off the mark. In other words, add a few grains of salt.
