This Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving, we're asking you to make a tax-deductible donation to support a cause near and dear to the Delta-Psi Chapter– the creation of a new Scholarship-Leadership Award named in honor of Brother Thomas L. Worgess. 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 Worgess's name that will benefit a Delta-Psi Chapter Brother every year in perpetuity. In the event Delta-Psi does not reach the $50,000 threshold during the Weekend but reaches $25,000, it will automatically create a $1,000 annual Scholarship-Leadership Award. All amounts raised shy of $25K between or over $50K will be directed to the existing Chapter Scholarship Fund to benefit Delta-Psi undergraduates.
Thomas L. Worgess was a dedicated leader, loyal friend, and a true embodiment of the Kappa Sigma spirit. A proud graduate of Michigan State University, Brother Worgess earned his Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management before continuing his education at the University of Tennessee, where he obtained his Master’s degree. His passion for logistics and operations led him to a successful career, culminating in his role as Director of Supply Chain at Smith & Nephew, where his leadership and expertise made a lasting impact.
Beyond his professional success, Brother Worgess was a Kappa Sigma through and through. His Fraternity experience was more than just college —it was a lifelong Brotherhood that he honored with annual reunions with his Kappa Sigma Brothers, reinforcing the deep connections that define Kappa Sigma. Brother Worgess understood the power of camaraderie, mentorship, and tradition, always leading by example and ensuring that the bonds of Delta-Psi’s Brotherhood remained strong long after graduation.
Brother Worgess’s love for sports and coaching reflected his leadership in all aspects of life. Whether playing, watching, or coaching his sons' baseball teams, he was known for his unwavering commitment to attitude and effort, a philosophy that inspired not only his players but also fellow coaches, parents, and even umpires. His dedication to teaching life lessons through sports left a lasting impact on countless young athletes.
A passionate traveler, Brother Worgess was on a mission to take his family to all fifty states, a testament to his adventurous spirit and love for making memories. He was also an avid trivia enthusiast, with an endless supply of fun and obscure knowledge that entertained friends and family alike. Brother Worgess’s legacy of leadership, Brotherhood, and mentorship will live on in the hearts of those he touched, especially within Kappa Sigma, where his presence and influence will always be remembered.
The Thomas L. Worgess Scholarship-Leadership Award will be given annually to a Delta-Psi undergraduate member who excels in scholarship, leadership, and community service, all of which reflect the example Brother Worgess provided.
