Duquesne University Fraternities (Kappa Sigma Phi and Beta Pi Sigma)

[perdido88]

wow.. that brings back some memories.. Father Ed... Dr. Deathwish (R.I.P.) and the latter was proud of it too. he used to give a speech at the beginning of the semester that went like "eight percent of my classes FAILED!!".

if anybody runs into Father Ed (Ed Walsh), give him my best regards. he probably won't remember me.. (J.C.).

and to all the Kaps, best of luck!!! Hope you guys keep the name of Kappa Sigma Phi alive.

later,

Well, it might be bleak on campus, but those of us with indelible letters will carry on the name forever. Thanks for the well-wishes. The beauty is (and this has been touched on above) that Kappa Sigma Phi has its name etched in Duquesne lore, so we can honestly never go away. Go look at the Grotto -- our name is on a plaque there. Go to the chapel and see our dedication to Father Crowley there. Go to Palumbo Center and see the bas relief sculpture of Father Crowley in the entrance way...and of course, look at your Duquesne ring. A Kap designed that.

We'll surely keep trying though.

as usual, let me know in what way I can be of help.

These posts were made a number of years ago, but I wonder if anyone ever comes back to look for new information.

The Betas at Duquesne had their first reunion in Oct-2010. The turnout was pretty good and I expect that Homecoming 2011 will be even better.

A Beta Pi Sigma Scholarship Fund has been established to help keep the name of our Fraternity alive even though it has not been active for many years.
