Kappa Sigma Theta-Upsilon Alumni Association

Friday, June 3, 2022

Thank you to all our 2022 Donors!

Thank you to all the alumni below who have contributed this year to support the legacy of Kappa Sigma at Miami University!

Our most recent Fiscal year (June 1, 2021-May 31, 2022) was a success on so many levels and with so many achievements!

We saw our colony grow to 59 members and be reinstalled as a chartered chapter on February 26! Then we had 140+ Alumni and guests celebrate the 55th anniversary of our original founding on April 1, 1967.

Along the way we asked our alumni to support Theta-Upsilon's philanthropic event in the fall (Worldwide Run & Ride for the Oxford Clinic) helping them raise almost $6000 as the world began to ease out of a global pandemic, Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving which raised $10,835 for our Chapter's Endowment Fund account (12th most in the country) that supports annual scholarships for our members and to support our Chapter refurbishment fund which surpassed our initial goal and raised $34,500+ to help us buy meeting chairs and a couch and chairs for the new 2nd floor lounge in the Shoebox and other improvements over the summer. This in addition to our normal requests to help support communications and events that bring our alumni together.

Meanwhile your fellow Alumni on the Theta Upsilon Housing Company worked this spring to secure financing for renovations on the Shoebox and secure zoning use as a Fraternity House for the Shoebox (Stone House will remain zoned for "apartments" for the time being. (long story...)

But all totaled, over 140 alumni (25 for the first time) donated. While we recognize that there are things that make this last year exceptional, we hope that we continue to see similar commitment each year to support our chapter and efforts to make Kappa Sigma the pride of Miami University!

A sincere Thank You, to everyone listed below who donated this fiscal year!

A list of donors for the current fiscal year is listed on our website.

KSTUAA would like to thank the members of this year's HOF Nomination Committee: George Duffield IC '67; Dave Vuicich IC '72; Rick Sippola IC '85; and Colony member and Alumni Relations Chair Luke .

New process used
This was the first year for a new process as we transition to inducting one alumnus each year (like as was done in 2021). KSTUAA Board set the number of inductees this year to be three and nominations were gathered by alumni through a Survey Monkey form in the Fall and that information was provided to the HOF Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee spoke to the nominees and built out profiles that were then provided to the 22 HOF Inductees from 2000-2021 who voted for 3! It was a very strong field of nominees and you can expect to see those other nominees inducted in the coming years.

Support Our Scholarship Fund March 4-6:
SAJ Goal is $5,500

Alumni are asked to make a tax deductible donation to our Chapter’s scholarship account this March 4-6, 2022 during the Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving. 100% of the donation goes specifically to our Chapter’s fund inside the kappa Sigma Endowment Fund.

Last year 45 alumni stepped up big and donated $8,992 to the Chapter's Scholarship Fund. Our alumni were 3rd in Ohio, 16th in the country in amount donated with dozens of brothers donating for the first time and winning an extra $500 from the Endowment fund for being in the top 25.

This year, KSTUAA Board has set our goal at $5500 in honor of our 55th anniversary (we know we could do more but we also have the House improvement fund request active - see details below). Two KSTUAA Board members have pledged to create a match again this year to give us a boost. All donations to the Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund are recognized in our list of donors.

During March 4-6 please use this link to register your donation.

Please be generous! AEKDB

KSTUAA is still needing donations to complete the Chapter House Refurbishment Match

The Colony (and soon to be Chapter on February 26) has begun using 406 E. Withrow as a Chapter House holding its weekly Chapter meeting thanks to the donations of 38 Alumni that made it possible to buy meeting chairs. The donations also paid for furniture used during Rush. To date we have raised $25,625 (still $6,375 short of $16,000 match goal of $32,000). The Chapter Advisory Council is now focusing on Phase 2 objectives that seeks to improve access and security.

See more details on December's post: Getting the House Ready for Use

Photos of the concepts and additional details can be found in the presentation posted here.

Thank you to these 30 alumni that have contributed in the last 2 months!

Getting the House Ready for Use!

We have a Colony of 44 members and expect to exceed 60 after Rush (last week of January 2022.)

To make sure the colony has a great rush, the KSTUAA Chapter Advisory Council and the Colony members want to use the Shoe Box for Rush.

While the first and second floor are in good condition owing to our agreement with Crossroads... There is a small problem, they took all the furnishings with them leaving...

By empty, we mean there is no furniture, furnishings or signage.

In anticipation of this need the KSTUAA Board approved the following motion on October 24, 2021:

“Moved that as the Theta-Upsilon Colony and Chapter will benefit by having access to the Chapter House properties which are void of any furnishings, the KSTUAA Board instructs the CAC to raise additional donations for the Chapter Advisory Council Fund specifically for the purpose of purchasing new signage, meeting room chairs, tables, common room furniture, lighting, outdoor furniture, security and other items the CAC deems necessary to promote recruitment and support healthy Chapter operations through all of 2021 and 2022

The CAC (Chapter Advisory Council) had been doing some initial research on different needs throughout the fall and has broken the effort into 3 phases/groups of priorities, ordering the efforts based on urgency and need.

What we are attempting to do

Phase 1 is to ready the house for Rush in January, purchasing signage for the house (removed by Crossroads), buying cafe tables and chairs for the basement and install some furniture in the 2nd floor seating area (please note that Stone house was converted into a 2 unit apartment and can no longer function as it did before as the Chapter's nice parlor & living room space.)

Phase 2 seeks to make the space usable for Chapter and committee meetings and add security.

Phase 3 seeks to enhance the facility around the the end of Summer by adding an Executive Board Room/Trophy Room/Alumni Library and provide a start on outdoor furniture.

Photos of the concepts and additional details can be found in the presentation posted here.

We need more alumni to chip in

We estimated we would need $30,000+ to get going on the first two phases and if lucky pay for some of the third. To jump start the effort we sought out a few alumni to make the first commitments and they came through with $16,000! Now are asking all our alumni to double or triple that amount.

Your donations of $50, $100, $250 or more will add up quickly and keep the progress moving forward.

If you have expertise, resources or connections we could be utilizing, contact Brother Bren through the KSTUAA@gmail email address.

A list of the alumni that have contributed to these projects or in other ways during the current year can be found by accessing the Donors page link on the right.

Donations can be made by: Checks can be made out to KSTUAA, memo line should read "Chapter House Projects" and mailed to: James Lewis at:

or you can use PayPal...

KSTUAA Board and CAC would like to thank the following Brothers who have contributed the initial amount so we can get started:

Jim Lewis IC 74 – KSTUAA Treasurer
Dave Ciochetty IC 78
Charles Wonderlic IC 83 – HOF 2017

The Theta Upsilon Housing Company is also currently seeking a loan to make needed renovations to secure the Fraternity classification and allow for about 12 guys to live in the Shoe Box. The Housing Company is focused on securing the permits, and renovating the bathrooms and making other changes required by the City of Oxford to house students. We’ve secured commitment from students to live in the Chapter house starting the Fall of 2022.

Direct your questions and request for more information to our KSTUAA email address above.

Other Giving Opportunities (it is the season)

There is no shortage of needs or opportunities to fund the success of the Theta-Upsilon Chapter, our Alumni Association or the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. (We are not begging for YOUR money... we are simply publicizing information for those that want to contribute.)

Alumni interested in making a tax-deductible contribution are encouraged to support our Chapter's Scholarship Endowment fund through Kappa Sigma. There are two dates to be aware of:

1. December 10 each year is the Kappa Sigma FIVE Campaign where Kappa Sigma hopes to secure 5 new Jackson Men from each Chapter. Theta-Upsilon currently has 8 Jackson Men. See the list on our donors page and know that KSTUAA will recognize you on the donors page. The campaign starts this year and more information can be found here.

2. March 4 - Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving Campaign. 100% of the donations from that weekend fund our Chapter's Scholarship Fund (CSF).

In addition, KSTUAA Board requests that each alumnus contribute $25 Annual dues so we can print and mail an annual newsletter in an attempt to keep our Alumni connected... for life.

KSTUAA also receives donations for our memorial fund which enables us to send flowers to the family of a Brother that has joined the Chapter Celestial.

Brother Chris Ferritto also has created a Brotherhood Scholarship in the name of Brother Cliff Browne.

Fricker Cup 2022 registration is open!

KSTUAA has announced that registration is open for the 55th Anniversary Edition Fricker Cup. Registration Deadline is March 1.

In a video posted to the KSTUAA YouTube Channel on November 30, two-time Fricker Cup Champion, Wes Bren IC '85 announced exciting new changes to this year's Fricker Cup format.

Bren explained that the Ryder Cup had been the original inspiration for the Fricker Cup and that the Fricker Cup Rules Committee saw the 55th Anniversary as the perfect opportunity to introduce a team element to our tournament.

This year, each twosome in a tee-time will be assigned to either the Red or White team (Miami Colors) and will compete for each hole. The twosome with the lower score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved. The scores role up to a team score.

A winning team will be announced and the best twosome score from within the winning team will be hailed as this year's Fricker Cup Champions, having their names engraved on the trophy and gaining the ability to hold the trophy with their bare hands and avoid the curse of Fricker! Only 12 Alumni of the 1000+ have won the tournament since its inception in 2014.

Brad Flinders IC '86, a two-time Fricker Cup Champion himself and a former Miami University Varsity golfer was named the Red Team Captain.

John Henry IC '85, a frequent Fricker Cup competitor who was onsite for this year's Ryder Cup was named the White Team Captain.

Each participant will be provided with a custom red or white golf shirt for the tournament.

The tournament will be held Friday, April 29, 2022 as part of the 55th Anniversary reunion of the Theta-Upsilon Chapter. Tee-times start at 10:30 AM

Because of the anticipated supply chain and shipping delays expected to secure the team shirts the registration deadline has been set for March 1, 2022.

To add to the excitement and drama, Fricker Cup organizers have devised a way to create an electronic Leaders Board using Google sheets. One participant from each tee-time will need to upload scores each hole to their spreadsheet which will feed into the digital leaderboard. This will also assist with some of the complications of calculating two competitions at once (the team based match play and the best ball score for the ultimate Fricker Cup Champion.)

Some of the tournaments favorite rules and features like the Eddie Fricker Switcheroo Card will also make a return.

Alumni are strongly encouraged to find their partners and register as soon as possible. Click for the online Registration Form. More details will be posted on this website on the Fricker Cup page.

Green fees, cart, range access, team golf shirt and prizes are included in the registration fee of $115.00. KSTUAA Annual dues of $25 are also required if you have not already paid them.

Participants are encouraged to secure rooms on Thursday night from our block at the hotels listed on the 55th Anniversary page.

Thank you to the 65+ Brothers that donated in FY 2021

Thanks again to the 65+ Brothers who contributed to the Theta-Upsilon effort in fiscal 2021 year (June 2020-May 2021).

Unstopped by the COVID Pandemic the last year has seen a solid showing by our brotherhood. It started with Alumni supporting the Interest Group's philanthropy in August "The Worldwide Run & Ride for the Oxford Free Clinic."

KSTUAA introduced a new Super Bowl Square Contest and returned to the NCAA form of Cossa Challenge during March.

But the real difference maker came in March when 45+ Theta-Upsilon Chapter Alumni donated $8,992 to the Chapter's Scholarship Fund during the 6th annual Stephon Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving joining Kappa Sigmas across the country as we smashed records donating $769,039 to the fraternity's Endowment Fund. Our alumni were 3rd in Ohio, 16th in the country in amount donated ($8,492) with dozens of brothers donating for the first time and winning an extra $500 from the Endowment fund for being in the top 25.

KSTUAA received $6,055 in donations, dues and event registration fees in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2021. These funds covered expenses for the printing and mailing of the Fricker Report newsletter in February ($1634), prizes for the the Super Bowl Squares & the Cossa Challenge, and memorial flowers for brothers that joined the Celestial. The donations have also helped support the undergraduates restarting the Kappa Sigma Chapter at Miami. (Full budget details are available upon request from the KSTUAA Treasurer, Jim Lewis.)

Fiscal 2022 marks the 55th anniversary of our founding AND the re-chartering of our chapter. This new year will provide many opportunities for our alumni to be generous and the KSTUAA Board hopes that alumni will embrace the opportunity to out perform the giving seen in any previous year to support our legacy and our undergraduate chapter.

KSTUAA recognizes your donations to KSTUAA on the Donor page as well as donations to the undergraduate philanthropies and to the Kappa Sigma Fraternity for Alumni Dues, the Endowment Fund or Charities as these reflect positively on the reputation of the Theta-Upsilon Chapter. Please let us know when you contribute so we can credit it to your donation level for the year on our donor page.

We sincerely appreciate the broad support of time and resources of those you see below.
