Brother Mikes is probably best known for his service on the KSTUAA Board as the Communication Committee Chairman since its formation in 2012. He served as Vice-President during the early years of the board and helped plan KSTUAAs 45th, 50th and 55th Anniversary reunions serving as the 50th Anniversary Chairman. He also was an integral part of the restart effort chairing the committee considering options for the facility. As the KSTUAA Communication Chair, Brother Mikes has made sure that every issue of The Caduceus contains an alumni update for the last 10+ years, has taken a lead in managing KSTUAA's social media sites, and perform editing duties for the annual Fricker Report. He is also in charge of the Memorial Fund and KSTUAA's efforts to honor those that have joined the Chapter celestial.
Brad is also known as "Bracket Master Mikes" for yearly management of several KSTUAA fundraising efforts, most famously, the Cossa Challenge, KSTUAA's fundraiser coinciding with the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament each year. Brother Mikes also introduced KSTUAA Super Bowl Squares to the mix. Brother Mikes is a regular donor/financial supporter of KSTUAA.
During his undergraduate years, Brad was pledge class president, Assistant Grand Scribe, Assistant Grand Treasurer, Grand Treasurer, & Pledge Educator. As GT Brother Mikes (and Brother Wagner, GT before him) worked to eliminate $32K of chapter debt (after the move to Withrow Ave). The Chapter had $0 debt when Brad left the Grand Treasurer position.
HOF process:
Nominations were gathered from alumni through a Survey Monkey form in the Fall. That information was provided to the HOF Nomination Committee who spoke to the nominees and built out profiles that were then provided to the 25 HOF Inductees from 2000-2022 who voted for 1 inductee! It was a very strong field of nominees and you can expect to see those other nominees inducted in the coming years.
KSTUAA would like to thank the members of this year's HOF Nomination Committee: George Duffield IC '67; Dave Vuicich IC '72; and Rick Sippola IC '85 for their work compiling the information.
Alumni are asked to make a tax deductible donation to our Chapter’s scholarship account this March 3-5, 2023 during the Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving. 100% of the donation goes specifically to our Chapter’s fund inside the Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund.

Support Our Chapter's Scholarship Fund
March 3-5: Goal is $6,700+
Alumni are asked to make a tax deductible donation to our Chapter’s scholarship account this March 3-5, 2023 during the Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving. 100% of the donation goes specifically to our Chapter’s fund inside the Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund. 
Last year $10,835 was raised for Theta-Upsilon's fund from 109 donors including alumni, undergraduates, family members and Kappa Sigma volunteers. Theta-Upsilon was 2nd in Ohio, 12th in the country in amount donated with dozens of brothers donating for the first time and winning an extra $500 from the Endowment Fund Trustees for being in the top 25.
This year, KSTUAA Board has set our goal at $6700 to generate four Scholarship/Leadership Awards each year for our members. The Chapter is eligible for one SLA for every $10K in the account. The Chapter's balance stands at $33,334.40 so we are needing $6700 to cross $40K or $16,700 to reach $50K and five Scholarships each year!
Three KSTUAA Board members have already pledged at least $3,000 in Challenge matches to give us a boost. All donations to the Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund are recognized in our list of donors on this website.
During March 4-6 please use this link to register your donation.
