“Brotherhood extends beyond our tenure at any specific university, our era, a specific generation, our careers or interests, or any other artificial barrier that we might imagine.  Kappa Sigma’s have the ability to lead the planet we call home to a brighter future. The vision, the mission, and the effort should never be allowed to dim.”
