January 2023 Newsletter
Brothers,
The undergraduates have been very busy this month planning different events, executing recruitment events, and participating in IM Volleyball. Here are some of the highlights:
Recruitment:
- The undergraduates held 3 different recruitment events in January with each event being different from the last. On the 18th of January, the undergraduates held a dodgeball recruiting event at the Rec Center! It was a nice success that all of the undergraduates enjoyed!
- On January 24th the undergraduates held the Kappa Sigma Theta-Nu exclusive Glow Golf event. Brother Shane Rue designed the course with assistance from Grand Master Caleb Shriver. The event was a huge success and after our designated recruitment time some of the Sisters from Alpha Phi stopped by to enjoy the course!
- Two days later the undergraduates took advice from ARM Stephen Simmons and hosted a Nugget/Game Night. The event is always titled ‘Night of 1000 Nuggets’ but Wendy’s could not supply that many nuggets. We also had video game tournaments courtesy of Brother Conner’s Wii and Fortnite Squads.
- The undergraduates plan to extend bids soon and have circled February 13th and February 19th as our two dates for Pledging. Initiation Date TBD
- Video Highlights can be found on our TikTok Kappasigmaau!
IM Volleyball:
- Brother Richard Delaney (special events chair, AGS) formed the Kappa Sigma Spring 2023 IM Volleyball Team. The brothers participating are: Brothers Beck, Bastaja, McDonald, Conner, Kern, Balo, Delaney, Ontko, and Urteaga. Wish them luck as they continue their season and look to get into the playoffs!
Hall of Honor:
- The undergraduates plan to induct Brothers Ladin, Wolfrum, Howser, Babcock, and Warner later this semester. The date will be shared once it is figured out. Check out our earlier post https://www.kappasigmaau.com/theta-nu-to-induct-five-into-hall-of-honor/ for more information regarding our inductees!
Misc. Events/Plans:
- The undergraduates will also be hosting a multitude of new events this semester! Brother Ontko (brotherhood) hosted a Brotherhood talk on January 14th to ask for suggestions for events. Since then, the brothers have been hosting movie nights, fires, and will have a slideshow night February 4th!
- The more recent initiates will be participating in EGLS this weekend (February 3 & 4).
- The undergraduates are also fundraising! We are raising money through cookie dough sales. If you are interested in helping raise funds, please message me via Facebook Messenger for more details!
- On February 8th the brothers will be holding a cold-calling event from 6-7. We will be using the Alumni Call Sheet and Directory to call alumni and share general updates about the chapter!
As always, please stop by the house and check out all of the changes done this past year by the brothers. The address is 646 Broad Street, Ashland, OH 44805. It will be the house marked ‘Richard A. Henry House.’
