“Beta Nu chapter of Kappa Sigma was instrumental in my college experience as it offered me the opportunity to become a member of a small group of fellow students in a very large university. This provided me with the opportunity to study with fellow brothers that were in the same or similar fields of study, share college experiences and socialize with other outstanding young men in the college environment. My college experience was dramatically enhanced in every aspect as a result of my being a Kappa Sigma at the University of Kentucky.
“My parting advise for current undergraduate brothers is to treasure the time you are spending with your fellow fraternity brothers. As you go through life you will find that a former fraternity brother will provide you with opportunities that would never have been available to you without that bond. Always respect each other and do everything you can to be a fraternity brother for life. All things being equal, you will of course do business with your brother!”
