Apples of gold

Why not, my brothers, since we of today live and cherish the principles of the kappa sigma fraternity, throw such a halo around those principles that they may be handed down as a precious heirloom to ages yet unborn! Why not put our apples of gold in pictures of silver? May we not rest contentedly until the star and crescent is the pride of every college and university in the land!

Star and Crescent

“The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man,

But only by him who is worthy to wear it.

He must be a gentleman…

a man of honor and courage…

a man of zeal, yet humble…

an intelligent man…

a man of truth…

one who tempers action with wisdom

and, above all else,

one who walks in the light of God.”
