The Fraternity should complement and enhance the educational mission of the host institution.
The Fraternity is committed to fostering a close cooperative partnership with all colleges and universities
where chapters exist. The Fraternity should promote academic
achievement and assist each member to achieve his academic potential.
By helping members adjust to the college environment, we can help them
pursue their degree goals. Co-curricular activities can be as valuable
as the classroom experience; hence, the Fraternity should promote
involvement in all aspects of campus life.
The Fraternity should promote the ideal of Brotherhood.
The creation of lifelong friendships is a primary benefit of Fraternity
membership. The Fraternity fulfills the need of students to belong to
an extended family and frequently provides the opportunity to enhance
those personal relationships through group living situations. As
Brothers, our members have an obligation to have a caring concern for
the welfare of our members. Brotherhood is a lifetime commitment;
therefore, we should encourage
strong alumni-undergraduate relationships for the mutual benefit of the
students and the alumni.
The Fraternity should actively contribute to the personal growth and development of its members.
We teach young men social skills that will benefit them throughout
their lifetime. The multitude of leadership opportunities available
through the Fraternity prepares members for success in their chosen
careers. Chapters should organize well-rounded programs and strive for
excellence and quality in all undertakings.
The Fraternity should promote ethical behavior and decision-making.
The lessons taught from Fraternity ritual should be incorporated into
the daily lives of the members. Kappa Sigmas are expected to act as
gentlemen at all times, and the Fraternity must demand the highest
standards of personal conduct. The Fraternity should instill a sense of
responsibility and integrity. The dignity of all persons shall always
be respected; intolerant orabusive behavior cannot be tolerated.
The Fraternity should encourage service to others.
Members, individually and collectively, should work toward the
betterment of their campus and community... and in so doing contribute
to the betterment of themselves. |
