Kappa Sigma Fraternity

Beta Sigma Chapter at Washington University

Welcome to the homepage of the Beta Sigma Chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity at Washington University of St. Louis. Since its inception on November 22, 1902, the Kappa Sigma Fraternity has boasted one of the largest active brotherhood and consistently has one of the largest pledge classes. Kappa Sigma's ideals are centered around its four cornerstones: fellowship, leadership, scholarship, and service. Kappa Sigmas are expected to subscribe and live by the oath of the order, the Star and Crescent:

"The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man, but only by him who is worthy to wear it. He must be a gentleman ... a man of honor and courage ... a man of zeal, yet humble ... an intelligent man ... a man of truth ... one who tempers action with wisdom and, above all else, one who walks in the light of God." (E. Bradford Holbrouk Jr., Sigma '63)

Thurtene Carnival BEST PRODUCTION!

Mon Apr 14 2008

Thurtene Carnival at Washington University is the oldest and largest student-run carnival in the nation. Each Spring, Fraternities and Sororities pair up for a 6-week construction and production project leading up to carnival. Members work diligently day and night for a shot at winning an award for their work, which is evaluated by WashU Faculty. This year, our play, cleverly named "C.P.U. Can Do it!" won Best Production. This year we changed the dynamic of themes for the carnival by not picking a place, but by picking a computer. All proceeds from this year's event went to a previously selected charity, the SSDN (South Side Day Nursery).
