We at Theta-Zeta understand that entrusting your son to a fraternity can be a decision filled with questions. Here at Kappa Sigma, we believe in fostering the personal and academic growth of our brothers, and we value the partnership with parents in achieving this goal.
The Kappa Sigma Advantage: Building Well-Rounded Men
By supporting your son’s membership in Theta-Zeta, you’re investing in his development as a well-rounded young man. Here are some of the core benefits he’ll gain:
- Academic Achievement: Kappa Sigma emphasizes the importance of academic success. Our chapter boasts a strong track record of scholarship, and we provide support systems to help brothers excel in their studies. (See our Values page for more on Scholarship).
- Leadership Development: Through chapter involvement and participation in events, brothers hone their leadership skills, learning to take initiative, work collaboratively, and effectively manage responsibilities. (This is a core aspect of our Leadership value).
- Lifelong Brotherhood: Kappa Sigma fosters a strong sense of brotherhood that extends beyond college. Your son will build lasting friendships with a supportive network of peers who share similar values. (This stems directly from our Fellowship value).
- Social Development: Theta-Zeta provides a welcoming environment where brothers can develop strong communication and social skills through chapter events and social activities. (This is fostered by our Fellowship value).
- Professional Networking: Kappa Sigma has a robust national network of alumni brothers. This network can be a valuable resource for your son as he enters the workforce, offering potential job opportunities and mentorship.
Kappa Sigma’s Core Values: A Foundation for Success
Our chapter is built upon four core values (the “Four Pillars”) that guide all aspects of the Kappa Sigma experience:
- Fellowship: We foster a spirit of camaraderie and mutual support. (This directly benefits your son’s social development and lifelong brotherhood).
- Leadership: We encourage brothers to take initiative and become effective leaders.
- Scholarship: We emphasize academic achievement and provide resources for academic success.
- Service: We give back to the community through volunteer initiatives.
Supporting Your Son’s Academic Success
In addition to the academic support systems offered by ENMU, Theta-Zeta has its own initiative to aid brothers in achieving their academic goals. The Theta-Zeta for Life program provides financial rewards to undergraduate brothers who maintain a minimum GPA, actively participate in the chapter, and exemplify the values of Kappa Sigma. Learn more about this program.
