Theta-Zeta recruits 82 fall pledges

It’s an exciting time at Eastern New Mexico University, where we have recruited 82 men to join the Chapter!

Over the next few weeks, we plan to inspire them to become the best men that they can be during the pledging process, and we hope to initiate these fine men into our brotherhood.

According to numbers from Kappa Sigma HQ, this was the highest rush count across all of Kappa Sigma.

Brother Jason Ferguson recognized by ‘Albuquerque The Magazine’

Brother Jason Ferguson, an Emergency Medical Technician here in Albuquerque, was recently interviewed by Albuquerque the Magazine. His story, part of a larger story about EMTs and nurses in this issue, is about a time he went out to a call for a young girl who had slipped into her grandparent’s pond. The young girl’s mother recalled how she was naturally upset, and how Brother Ferguson was able to keep calm and focused. Thankfully, through the efforts of the first responders and hospital staff, the young girl made a full recovery.

Thank you, Brother, for all you do in our community!
