Kappa Sigma has paired up with the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta across the street to compete for this year's Greek Week Championship. Like Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha Theta is one of the oldest chapters at Ohio State, established on campus three years before Kappa Sigma on May 24, 1892 as the Alpha Gamma Chapter.

The twenty-five men selected to join the historic and renowned Alpha-Sigma chapter display individual characters of the highest quality, which we as initiates of the active chapter, are certain will represent Alpha-Sigma as gentlemen, community leaders, and men of all-around excellence. Eighty-one active brothers currently compose the chapter and a culture of achievement and continuous effort to better ourselves as brothers, men, and a chapter is steadfast and thriving.
