KSTUAA was chartered to organize and coordinate alumni events, recognition and participation of the Theta-Upsilon Chapter's alumni and to provides assistance for the undergraduate members by working with groups and individuals from the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Miami University and the undergraduate chapter in order to build and protect the legacy of Kappa Sigma at Miami.
KSTUAA as an "alumni association" is constituted separately from the Theta-Upsilon Housing Corporation, Inc (also chartered in the State of Ohio) so that the two organizations can focus on their distinct mandates. The Housing Corporation has a fiduciary responsibility to manage the property and the funds collected from rents. KSTUAA focuses on the Alumni community and promotes Alumni assistance to the chapter. Because important synergies can be found in cooperation, the two organizations communicate regularly and collaborate on projects related to undergraduate housing, policies and decisions.
The KSTUAA is led by an executive committee and board. All positions are unpaid, volunteer. The fiscal years run from June 1 through May 31 with an annual meeting taking place in Oxford, Ohio typically during the Miami Alumni Weekend.
