Win up to $1000 and help our Chapter -- Secure your Super Bowl Square today
The 2024 edition of the KSTUAA Super Bowl squares just got bigger with a prize pot worth $1000!
Just $20 per square!!
Helping our Chapter
The KSTUAA split goes to buy additional meeting chairs for the Chapter. The chapter has grown to 84 members and expects to add another 30-40 members in the Rush that starts this week! In 2022 KSTUAA purchased 76 black meeting Chairs. KSTUAA has ordered 24 more chairs to help keep pace with the growth. The total cost is $3,872.27. So far we have only raised $366.56 so we need donations in addition to brothers buying squares to get this bill paid.
The Game
The Kappa Sigma Super Bowl Squares is our simple take on a perennial favorite where alumni can pick squares with two numbers that reflect all the possible combinations of the last digit in any score. Pick the square that matches the AFL and NFC teams scores during a quarter end and you are a winner!!! 10% of the pot will be awarded to the winner in each of the first three quarters and 20% of the pot will be award to the alumnus matching the final score!
Instructions:
Send us the game squares you want e.g. A1, C7, F5, I2, J10 and email to KSTUAA@gmail.com. (Squares are awarded based on the first to reach us, based on email sent times with dues paying Alumni getting priority on ties) Duplicate choices will be assigned nearest open spot by KSTUAA.
The Tables showing available squares will be updated each day: CLICK HERE to see the Table of Available Squares (May need to "right click to download" if it doesn't display)
Make payment with paypal here. $20 per square for anyone that has paid KSTUAA Dues (so if you haven't paid dues add the $25 KSTUAA Alumni dues) If you already have paid Dues... THANK YOU and its just $20 a square.) You can also use Venmo (@KSTUAA) or personal check.
