DESCRIPTION
A Guide to the Greek Life family at St. Mary's University.
Citation preview
Greek Life at St. Mary’s Universi-ty strives to empower members of Greek-letter organizations to excel, promote, and preserve the four princi-ples of brotherhood/sisterhood, lead-ership, scholarship, and ser-vice. Together, Greeks offer an envi-ronment which supports and encour-ages the living out of ideals contained in each chapter creed, holding no tol-erance for behavior unbecoming of the highest standards of the mission of the University. Greek leaders are students of character who set exam-ples of leadership on the entire cam-pus.
We invite all students to take part in
the Greek experience. The influences
of Greek Life will take you beyond your
higher education experience. Take
the challenge and you will realize
that membership will influence you

History
Modern day Kappa Sigma was founded one chilly evening in the fall of 1869, as five students attending the University of
Virginia in Charlottesville gathered in the room of William Grigsby McCormick, at 46 East Lawn, and planted the seed of
Brotherhood. The new brothers recorded their bond in a Constitution and in an Oath that set forth the ideals and principles
to all Kappa Sigma’s today
Brothers of the Lambda Psi Chapter of Kappa Sigma do-
nating more than $1,000 to their local philanthropy: The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Mission
The Fraternity should complement and enhance the educational mission of the host
institution.
The Fraternity should promote the ideal of Brotherhood.
The Fraternity should actively contribute to the personal growth and development
of its members.
The Five Friends and
Brothers
In 1869 these Five Friends and
Brothers brought the Order of
Kappa Sigma to the University
of Virginia.
