Scholarship

Kappa Sigma is focused upon the Four Pillars of FELLOWSHIP, LEADERSHIP, SCHOLARSHIP and SERVICE. As a values-based men’s fraternity, Kappa Sigma strictly forbids hazing and fosters meaningful college experiences by offering progressive membership development and education. The scholarship program at the Gamma Chi (Kansas State University) chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity is awarded from two different entities: (1) National – Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund and (2) the Gamma Chi-Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund.                                                      

NATIONAL – KAPPA SIGMA ENDOWMENT FUND awards the Donald C. Dilley, Jr. Scholarship-Leadership Awards each year to qualified undergraduate members who excel in the classroom, on campus, in the community and within the Fraternity. These Brothers represent the best and brightest of Kappa Sigma. Since 1948, the Endowment Fund has awarded more the $5 million to thousands of deserving Brothers.  The application is open to all undergraduate brothers on September 15th each year and closes on October 15th.  The application is available to all eligible members on KappaSig.net.
