Founder McCormick was in his second year at the University.įellowship - Joining Kappa Sigma provides opportunities for fellowship, fun, and personal growth that you simply can’t get elsewhere. It was there that he, with four friends, Frank Courtney Nicodemus, Edmund Law Rogers, John Covert Boyd and George Miles Arnold, founded the Kappa Sigma Fraternity on that cold December evening. William Grigsby McCormick occupied the room at 46 East Lawn in the fall of 1869. The new brothers recorded their bond in a Constitution and in an Oath which set forth.
Thus, not only did the Founders formalize their friendship, but they also created a fraternity steeped in the traditions of the past and dedicated to the Pursuit of Learning. For many weeks the bonds of friendship had drawn these five together now the need became clear for a formal structure to contain their feelings. Kappa Sigma in America was founded one chilly evening in the fall of 1869, as five students attending the University of Virginia in Charlottesville gathered in William Grigsby McCormick's room at 46 East Lawn and planted the seed of Brotherhood. The Kappa Sigma Fraternity can trace its roots back to the University of Bologna in the year 1400 when a group of students came together for mutual protection against the corrupt governor of the city, Baldassarre Cossa.
