Kappa Sigma was founded at the University of Virginia on December 10, 1869. Kappa Sigma began its existence as a fraternity for good fellows, good company, good manners, good morals, bright minds and the wit, spirit, and leadership of gentlemen. In 1928, fifty-nine years later, the Delta Rho chapter of Kappa Sigma was established at Franklin & Marshall College.
The fraternity prides itself on being a strong part of the Franklin and Marshall community. Through a solid foundation of brothers, the fraternity strides to excel in service, leadership, and scholarship. Members of Kappa Sigma are leaders in the classroom, in organizations like IFC and Greek Council, and on the athletic fields. Throughout the year, the fraternity sponsors a variety of events that promote community service and brotherhood. Kappa Sigma's most noteworthy event is the Halloween Haunted House. The brothers of Kappa Sigma along with the sisters of Chi Omega turned the Kappa Sigma Fraternity house into a full fledged terrifying haunted house. The house was open to the children of Lancaster and was a great success. Kappa Sigma also co-sponsors Dip-Synch with Chi Omega.
