"The greatest year on record"

[hoosier]

The Pikes have been talking about their great success, but the latest Kappa Sigma magazine says:

"The greatest year on record"

- a record 5,309 pledges (up 32 percent). Average 24.2/chapter

- a record 3,783 initiates (up 29 percent)

- a record 19 colonies established

"More men choose Kappa Sigma today than any other fraternity," says FEA survey

$4.3 million raised for new Headquarters: "the finest fraternal home in the world, befitting of the finest fraternity in the world."

Rhodes alum Dr. Russel L. Weiner makes a $1 million gift to the Hqtrs. fund.

2005 Convention: Las Vegas July 13-17, at the Riviera (great cheap magician show there, and free shuttle to Rio)

- 27 chapters initiated 31 or more (TX Tech and TX State tops with 60.)

- 26 chapters pledged 44 or more (U Miss tops with 73, and initiated 51 of them)

"Our undergraduate brothers ... enjoy the lowest dues and fees in the fraternal world." No increase since 1991.

Things are going well for the Charlottesville bunch.

Posted my thoughts on the Greek Life forum, but I just hope momentum keeps up, and we continue to build the resources to support the gains in membership, etc.

I attended the Kappa Sigman initiation banquet this past Saturday here in Columbus for the Alpha Sigma chapter at Ohio State. After losing their charter a few years ago they recolonized last year and were initiated this weekend. I was very impressed with the national Kappa Sigma officers that came to speak and with all of the great things they had to say about this fraternity. It made me very proud to call some of the men of Kappa Sigma my friends.

Congratulations on all that you've accomplished and good luck with achieving all of your goals during this next year. I know Kappa Sigma will do great things!
