STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Tarleton State University’s Upsilon-Omega chapter of Kappa Sigma received the FACE Award in recognition of an outstanding first year. The Founder’s Award of Chapter Excellence <\/a>is the benchmark honor in Kappa Sigma, recognizing outstanding achievements in all areas of chapter operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud \u2014 we did a great job,\u201d said incoming senior and chapter president Justin Cummins. The fraternity, which started on campus last fall, recruited 57 pledges, raised nearly $1,700 for its Military Heroes campaign and $5,000 for its Greater Cause campaign, and contributed 5,800 service hours to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newest Chapter of the Order maintained membership in several campus organizations outside the order; took part in specialized Kappa Sigma workshops, including Code of Conduct and Champion\u2019s Quest; and established chapter operations in what the fraternity considers required departments of a healthy chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tarleton chapter started after interested students reached out to Kappa Sigma. They began the recruiting process in the student center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
