In Kappa Sigma, we had several descendants of the founders become members of the fraternity, and I think there are one or two descendants still around who are members, but back in the 1980s the fraternity had something really cool happen. The spiritual founder of Kappa Sigma was an old Greek Scholar named Manual Chrysoloras who came to Italy in the 1400s to teach greek to the students.......

Anyway, in the 1980s one of the chapters actually initiated a guy who was a direct descendent of Chrysoloras! There was a bunch of articles written in the magazine about it and he attended many conclaves before moving back to Greece. I wish I had been alive to have been able to experience that!
