About Delta-Alpha

The Delta-Alpha chapter of Kappa Sigma has a rich history on the Carnegie Mellon campus dating back to our founding in 1921. Throughout our 90 years at CMU, Kappa Sigma has continually impacted campus through the Big 3 (Booth, Buggy, Greek Sing), the social events we provide to the community, and the strong leaders our house produces that work across campus.

The four pillars at the heart of Kappa Sigma are fellowship, scholarship, leadership, and service. These pillars along with our three watchwords, diligence, initiative, and commitment, have helped to transform our brothers into better men.  Delta Alpha has produced great men and notable alumni such as Edgar D. Mitchell, who was a pilot on the Apollo XIV mission and was the sixth man to set foot on the moon, and Howard Harpster, who was an inductee in the College Football Hall of Fame. To this day Kappa Sigma continues to foster strong brotherhood and strives to help young men reach their full potential.

Today, Kappa Sigma continues to strive to foster fellowship and leadership within our brothers and excel at everything we do. In recent years we have rebuilt our buggy team and returned as a competitor on the course and revamped our Greek Sing program resulting in a strong 2nd place in 2011. Our brothers continue to be extremely involved in the campus community and we are proud to count leaders in the Greek community and many other campus organizations among our brothers.
