Anyone know of any other current Kappa Sigma expansionary activity?

In my District, I have chapters of 20 members on campuses of 25,000 with a total of 100 Greek students, so you're not alone.

There may be an interest group forming at UCR. I will PM you the contact information of our recruitment manager who can help you get connected.

Is there any interest and support for the idea of starting a chapter out there and becoming the 11th fraternity on the campus and the largest?

Sorry for crashing but, I felt compelled to leave a message in the Kappa Sigma forum. I hope you all don't mind.

The other night on campus (Penn State Harrisburg-where I am now a Graduate Student) I walked out of class early after a test. I was excited to get a chance to go home early. Generally my Wednesday class is over at 9:15 p.m. and I have an hour and a half drive home from there.

I had gotten done with my test as I walked out to the parking lot. I hopped in my car and my engine wouldn't even turn over. I didn't leave the lights on and I had no idea why it wasn't starting. I freaked out because I was about an hour and a half from home-so, for anyone to even come pick me up-getting home could have been a total of 3 hours when all is said and done.

I quickly hopped out of my car to find someone who was willing to help me try and jump start my car. I carry my own jumper cables and all I needed was someone with a car that worked. I walked around the parking lot until I came upon two young-attractive guys dressed up in suits. I felt bad asking them because they were dressed so nice and obviously had some place to go. As soon as I walked up to their car (because they were hopping out of it) without even having to say a word-they stopped talking and greeted me.

I asked them if they would be willing to help me jump start my car and they were more than happy to help out. I was so thankful. Even though I had an idea how to do it, the one guy took charge of the cables and told me not to worry because he works on cars all the time. After hearing that-that made my night. I went from being tired and ready to go home-after freaking out...to meeting some great guys who were willing to help at the drop of a hat.

Maybe I got lucky because they noticed my hat. Who knows? I forget how it came up but, I began to tell them about how I was in graduate school. The one guy made a comment about how he realized I was most likely there for graduate school because he noticed my Penn State Phi Mu (lettered hat) that I was wearing. I smiled and said, "Oh-are you guys Tekes?" The reason I asked is because from all I knew they were the only IFC/NIC group on campus. They both smiled and said, "No-we are brothers of Kappa Sigma!" We began talking about Greek Life as my car was getting jumped and I took down their names and information so I may send them "thank you" cards and let them know how thankful I am.

Apparently, the guys were dressed up because they had something going on with the fraternity that night-I want to say it was something like a sorority's pinning ceremony (if that's something fraternities do). They were dressed very nice and willing to help me out. Had it not been for them-I would have never made it home. I just wanted to let the brothers of Kappa Sigma know how wonderful their new chapter/ colonization/ expansion is at Penn State Harrisburg because if those two guys are an example of Kappa Sigma brothers on this campus-you will have great pledge classes for years to come!
