BSU KAPPA SIGMA CHAPTER WINS NATIONAL AWARD FOCUSING ON FELLOWSHIP,
LEADERHIP, SCHOLARSHIP AND SERVICE
Boise State University's Kappa Sigma chapter was awarded the Founder's
Award of Chapter Excellence at the annual Kappa Sigma Leadership
Conference held in Denver in June. The award is one of the most coveted
awards given out by the national fraternity. The BSU group was
recognized for outstanding chapter achievement in student leadership,
community service, academics and campus involvement.
"Just like the Bronco football team, we want to do our part to put
Boise State on the map nationally," said Russell O'Leary, the current
chapter president. "It is important for the BSU community to see that
Kappa Sigma helps to enhance the campus' mission of academic excellence,
civic responsibility and overall leadership. At Kappa Sigma, we work on
these values every day."
Matthew B. Bott, who is the assistant executive director at the
fraternity's Charlottesville, Va., headquarters and a 2000 graduate of
Boise State University, added, "a Founder's Award for Chapter Excellence
recipient must meet a rigorous set of standards including an average of
25 hours per person in community service and a chapter GPA above the
all-men's average on campus, as well as an exceptional record in chapter
management and campus leadership. The chapter at Boise State has been
recognized as one of our fraternity's best and we know that they are
only getting better with time."
Kelly S. Hagans, a 2001 BSU graduate and current Kappa Sigma Alumnus
adviser, was also recognized by the national fraternity as one of Kappa
Sigma's most outstanding alumnus advisers, representing the commitment
and involvement of BSU's Kappa Sigma alumni.
