This Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving, March 6-8, we're asking you to make a tax-deductible donation to support a cause near and dear to the Theta-Zeta Chapter– the creation of a new Scholarship-Leadership Award named in honor of Brother Jody Bailey. 100% of your gift, in the amount of $10.34, $50.34, $150.34, $340, $3,400, or $34,000, will help fund this special scholarship.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 to establish a permanent $2,000 annual Scholarship in Brother Bailey's name that will benefit a Theta-Zeta Chapter Brother every year in perpetuity. If the Theta-Zeta Chapter reaches $100,000 raised during the weekend, it will automatically double to a $4,000 annual Scholarship-Leadership Award.

Brother Jody L. Bailey has exemplified what it means to live the Star and Crescent for nearly four decades. Initiated in 1987, he has devoted himself to Kappa Sigma with a steady, unwavering commitment that spans every level of the Fraternity, from chapter mentorship to district leadership to Worthy Grand Scribe. Whether serving as Alumnus Advisor, District Grand Master, or Champion Quest Commissioner, Brother Bailey has consistently been the kind of leader who shows up, builds others up, and strengthens the Fraternity through action, not applause.

That sustained impact has been recognized again and again. Brother Bailey has been honored as Alumnus Advisor of the Year, District Grand Master of the Year, and Commissioner of the Year, and has received multiple Distinguished Service Commendations. He is also a Master of the Ritual (#53), a distinction that reflects both deep knowledge of our traditions and a profound respect for what binds Kappa Sigma together. At the 65th Biennial Grand Conclave in Las Vegas in 2005, he was elected Worthy Grand Scribe—an affirmation of the trust he has earned across the Order. Today, he continues his service as Volunteer Recruitment Commissioner, still focused on the same mission that has defined his journey: investing in brothers and ensuring Kappa Sigma’s future remains strong. Outside the Fraternity, Brother Bailey is the Chief Operating Officer and Co-Owner of HomeSpot in Portales, New Mexico, where he brings the same professionalism, integrity, and dedication to his community that he has long brought to Kappa Sigma.

Now is the time to rally behind this historic initiative and honor the lasting legacy of Brother Jody Bailey. Donate Now!

There is no risk to participating in this special Named Scholarship because all amounts raised shy of $50K between or over $100K will be directed to the existing Chapter Scholarship Fund to benefit Theta-Zeta undergraduates.

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