October 22-25, 2015 A Celebration of Our History 100 YEARS OF BROTHERHOOD Gamma-Rho Chapter… A 100-Year Tradition Centennial Celebration Program Centennial Celebration Program Centennial Celebration Program Centennial Celebration Program Centennial Celebration Program Centennial Celebra When the local Delta Phi fraternity affiliated with Kappa Sigma in 1915 as Gamma-Rho Chapter of Kappa Sigma, its members established a tradition of excellence and brotherhood, which has been cherished and nurtured by each succeeding generation of members.

There have been 2,149 members initiated into Gamma-Rho Chapter of which 966 alumni and 122 undergraduates are still active. Our members have watched the campus grow from 463 students when we started in 1915 to over 40,000 students as of 2015.

Year after year, individuals and as a group, the men of Gamma-Rho have distinguished themselves for high academic standards, community service, excellence in varsity and intramural , campus leadership, and of course for having a good time. Yes, we surrendered our charter and left campus from 1974-79 and 2009-12 but we have stood proud for 92 of our 100 years.

Our chapter has produced hundreds of successful and influential professionals in architecture, criminal justice, education, entertainment, finance, government, law, medicine, professional sports, public service, technology, and other fields. Many have owned or managed thriving manufacturing, retail and service businesses.

The dimension of brotherhood has always been the chapter’s greatest strength. Many close ties, which began at one or more of the Gamma-Rho Chapter houses, have flourished for entire lifetimes. Some of these bonds of brotherhood extend across an entire class; others have continued in small Centennial Celebration Program Centennialgroups; and some even Celebration across many decades ofProgram alumni. Our alumni Centennial live in almost every state Celebration in the Program Centennial Celebration Program Centennial Celebration Program Centennial Celebration Program U.S and in many countries. The common interests of Gamma-Rho brothers have changed in many cases, but the beginnings of friendship will always go back to our association in the fraternity.

This program is dedicated to 100 years of Kappa Sigma on the University of campus. Read on and you will see stories and photos you recognize, and of course, some you never knew about. There is no way in this program to record it all, but hopefully we have caught enough of our history to remind you why you joined Kappa Sigma.
