Kappa Sigma (ΚΣ), commonly known as Kappa Sig, is an American collegiate social fraternity founded at the University of Virginia in 1869. Kappa Sigma is one of the five largest international fraternities in North America.
According to the traditions of the fraternity, Kappa Sigma evolved from an ancient order, said to have been founded between 1395 and 1400 at the University of Bologna. The story says that the corrupt governor of the city, one-time pirate and later papal usurper Baldassare Cossa, took advantage of the students at Bologna, by sending his men to assault and rob them; this motivated one of the university's scholars to found a secret society of students for mutual protection against Baldassare Cossa.
On December 10, 1869, five students at the University of Virginia met in 46 East Lawn and founded the Kappa Sigma Fraternity in America. The five founders became collectively known as the "Five Friends and Brothers".
