Brothers and other Kappa Sigma supporters will be challenged to donate $10.34, $50.34, $150.34, $340, $3,400, $34,000, or more between 12:01 AM EST on Friday, March 3rd and 11:59 PM HST on Sunday, March 5th.

This weekend is used to grow your Chapter Scholarship Fund so that more brothers receive a scholarship each year.

Donate during the weekend in honor or memory of a Brother, or important person to Kappa Sigma, then challenge a pledge brother to do the same! Remember 100% of donations during this weekend support YOUR Chapter Scholarship Fund.

Your Chapter Scholarship Fund is used to support undergraduate scholarships every year, for undergraduates of this Chapter only. This fund is invested, grows, and is distributed each year. JP Morgan Private Bank professionally manages the fund.

Scholarship-Leadership Award Applications open on September 1st every year, and winners are announced on December 10th.
