You would need continuous documents to prove the direct line of connection.... should be kind of hard.
All the European fraternities see their roots in fraternity-like structures (called "bursarii") at Bologna, Prague and Paris universities but none claims to be a direct successor of them, which would be pretty bold.

Otherwise, basically the historical founding of kappa sigma can be linked very convincingly to an organization founded in 1400 - not the current founding, of course, but the historical - for those that care . . .
