On a cold December evening, December 10, 1869, five friends enrolled at the University of Virginia met at 46 East Lawn to draft a constitution and found the Kappa Sigma Fraternity in North America. Adopting the traditions of their Renaissance forbearers at Bologna, these
five friends bound themselves together by an oath and preserved their union with secret work. This
Ritual made them brothers, restoring the luster to the colors long-fading in Europe
Brothers, Keep Kappa Sigma in your heart tonight as always, no matter where you may be.
For a fleeting moment in time, all her brothers walk its streets.
