Fricker Cup Details Announced - KSTUAA Board Elections

The 2025 Fricker Cup is fast approaching, and it’s shaping up to be another unforgettable chapter in Kappa Sigma’s storied tradition of camaraderie and competition.

Alumni from all eras are invited to dust off their clubs, find a partner, and register now for a weekend that promises more than just golf—it’s a celebration of brotherhood, banter, and the kind of memories that only the Fricker Cup can deliver. Whether you’re a seasoned contender or a first-time participant, this is your chance to be part of something truly special.

For over a decade alumni have traveled in from across the country to participate. Previous tournaments have seen everything from dramatic playoff finishes, unforgettable laughs, and enough friendly trash talk to fill the back nine. This year’s event, Saturday, September 6 in Columbus, Ohio will be no exception, with the same blend of competition, camaraderie, and post-round festivities that make it a highlight of the alumni calendar.

But the Fricker Cup isn’t just about golf—it’s about rekindling the bonds of brotherhood as Kappa Sigmas from Miami University! 

Don’t wait until the last minute—grab a partner and lock in your spot! Registration is open now! All the details, including registration links and tournament history, can be found on the official Fricker Cup page -use the link on the right. See you in Columbus!
