The Fricker Cup

First Came the Legend… 
Then Came the Tradition…

Each year the Fricker Cup brings Kappa Sigs together in a great weekend including a golf tournament that would make Eddie Fricker proud! At stake is immortality with your name engraved on the Fricker Cup trophy and the ability to touch the trophy with your bare hands while avoiding the Curse of Fricker that will plague any non-winner that touches the trophy!

Started in the summer of 2014, The Fricker Cup Tournament is hosted in different cities to promote greater participation and involvement by all our alumni and promote the philanthropic/Chapter development cause incorporated into each year's tournament. The tournament is scheduled for the first Saturday after Labor Day for all years except when KSTUAA has organized a 5 year reunion event.

Fricker Cup weekends are planned and organized by the KSTUAA event committee and the Fricker Cup Rules Committee. 

If you are interested in bringing the Fricker Cup to your area, volunteer to be a local host. Send questions and suggestions to KSTUAA@gmail.com.
