Nearly a year on from receiving their charter, the Kappa Sigma at Missouri Southern State University ("MoSo," apparently) is still trying to show they're cut from a different cloth. Among the host of requirements for their establishment last May, they had to collect a membership of at least fifty and raise $50 a head in philanthropies. Now a fully-enfranchised chapter, they don't want to let the momentum wane.
Chapter President Will Lynch explained the greater burden under which greeks operate in typical tropes: "Stigma is something we definitely have to put up with any time we talk to anybody about rushing. People think it's Animal House and Old School, but it's not like that at all." Certainly not at the Kappa Sigma, where even brothers of legal age are not permitted to imbibe during the pledging process, following a rush philosophy described as "good, clean, fun events." They combine these Mormonesque tendencies with a commitment to academics and philanthropy to offer what Mr Lynch calls "a little bit more out of college." Last year's charities included a "swing-a-thon" and "teeter-totter-a-thon," but the fraternity is hoping to expand its efforts this year. Keeping with the oddly playground-oriented theme, perhaps a jungle-gym-a-thon and bobbling-animals-on-springs-a-thon are in the offing.
As for recreation after a hard day of charity work? No mention is made.
