The Gamma-Nu Chapter of Kappa Sigma started out as the Varsity Club, and sent a petition to Kappa Sigma to colonize, which failed because Washburn was too small. So the Varsity club changed their name to Kappa Theta, sent in a petition despite threats that they would not ever have another chance if they kept bothering the organization, but won a colony and became the Gamma-Nu chapter in 1909.

An interesting side note: We are twins with the Gamma-Mu chapter in Washington State - they were installed just hours before we were. Another interesting note - both were founded out of local groups called Kappa Theta - so Gamma-Mu and Gamma-Nu are the "Kappa Theta Twins" of Kappa Sig - There are a few pages about it in the Kappa Sigma history book written by Finis K. Farr - a great read for a brother.
