Theta-Upsilon Chapter Alumni are encouraged to stop by the Chapter House, Saturday June 13 (during Alumni Weekend 2026) for the KSTUAA Annual Open House. Take a tour of the facility, see the composites we've installed and how the Grand Ole Shoe Box is fairing. KSTUAA Board holds its annual meeting and board elections Saturday afternoon.
You'll find Alumni & KSTUAA Board members uptown as early as Friday night. Let us know you are coming and we'll text you our location to join us on our visit! Email us at KSTUAA@gmail.
Alumni Weekend is a great time to reconnect with friends and classmates and even bring young ones you want to introduce to one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. With students away, parking is available and cheap housing options exist with the university.
KSTUAA Annual Meeting is at 4:00 PM the same day
KSTUAA Annual Meeting and Elections is scheduled for the afternoon. It's not too late to volunteer to serve. Brother McNally is seeking a replacement so he can step down.

Theta-Upsilon Plays Big Role in Helping Bring Back Alpha-Sigma Chapter at the Ohio State University
68 students of Ohio State University were initiated into Kappa Sigma on Sunday, April 26 thanks in huge part to Theta-Upsilon Alumni and members.
Theta-Upsilon alumni Ed Bennett IC '85 and Fernando Romero IC '22 who are serving as AAAs for Alpha-Sigma, played critical roles in making sure we had a facility prepped for the ceremony. Our chapter came with 2 installation teams. Brother Wes Bren IC '85 serving as the DGM orchestrated and managed the 140+ person operation that operated in two buildings and initiated pledges in 8 different rooms! Brother Bren, serving as ADGM and as DGM has been involved with the Alpha-Sigma Alumni and the Interest Group and Colony process since the chapter was closed in 2020.
Six chapters provided initiation teams and 15 Volunteers from all over Ohio including the past WGS, Dan Tierney were involved in the days activities. The Executive Director of Kappa Sigma, Bradley Bailey drove in from Charlottesville. Six alumni from Alpha-Sigma were present to witness and participate in the rechartering of the longest lived chapter in Ohio!
Members, volunteers, and some parents of members gathered for a reception and banquet at the Ohio State faculty club. Brother Bailey MC’d , brother Tierney gave the Keynote… presentations were made by the DGM, Bren; the Alumnus Advisor Brother Mark Earley, and the chapter’s Grand Master Walter Tidenberg III.
