Kappa Sigma is a fraternity built on great pride and a tradition of excellence, and our many distinguished alumni have served to enhance this throughout the years. The Beta-Omicron Chapter has seen many brothers rise to positions of great respect since our founding at the Denver University. The Hall of Fame was conceived as a way of honoring Kappa Sigma and Beta-Omicron alumni for their outstanding achievements. Inductees are among a select group of alumni, honoring brothers for their career achievements, service to the community, and dedication to the fraternity.
