Summary
The Ritual of Kappa Sigma manual (1995). The secret manual pertains to North America’s largest and oldest masonic secret fraternity, first founded in Bologna, Italy during the 1400s. The manual includes details on secret codes, initiation rites, funeral rites and others. The manual has been photographed page by page and includes added notes and small clarifications where necessary (provided by the source). 78mb large file be patient.
why would you want to give away our ritual. what bonds us true kappa sigmas to a lifetime commitment of brotherhood and mutual protection???? -Epsilon Xi- AEKDB
I am horrified that somebody posted this. As a DZ, I was taught to hold our mottos, rituals, pins and friendships close to our hearts. I am a true Greek and will NOT click on that link out of respect for my Greek brothers. I only wish that others would show the same respect
-In the flame
disgraceful
How could you?! HOW COULD YOU?! YOU HAVE DISGRACED OUR FRATERNITY!!!! HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY! THIS MAKES ME SICK!
-AEKDB MAY OUR COLORS NEVER FADE FOR WANT OF WEARERS.
alright ur an ass! Your no man ur a disgrace to our fraternity and all man kind!
ahh..the greeks. u guys still doin it greek style? in the backdoor? riding the hershey highway?
hmm, too bad that this book is outdated and no longer holds any significance to the way things are done. Look all you want, you can’t learn anything about who we are and what we do by reading this. AEKDB
This is definitely a shame. We are Kappa Sigmas because of our heart. The ritual isnt the only thing that binds us…our love for the order, for eachother, and our fidelity bind us as well. I pray that no one else will choose the path as this scum. Always be true and just to the order brothers. Semper.
AEKDB
Sucks to suck, kappa sig has to be the worst fraternity along with pike way to have your rit online!! aekdb sounds like piss to me.
Wow, talk about not getting it – this is why short pledge periods are wrong, we can’t get tools like this screened out!!!! Karma my friend, Karma.
This is ridiculous. I date a Kappa Sigma and I’m good friends with most of the brothers in his chapter. They are phenomenal guys who are in a wonderful organization. Im sorry that this happened, and the person who leaked this is not a true Kappa Sigma man. He is a coward.
TSK TSK
hey if it is outdated isnt that saying that kind of saying that the ideals and beliefs that the fraternity was built on is outdated?
You know that you guys could have dismissed this as false by not admitting it was yours. By various self-proclaimed members of Kappa Sig claiming this is legit, you just verified it.
Joe u are a fuckin asshole. I hope one day you rot in he’ll for what you have done u are the lowest form of a human being. It’s called secret for a reason dickhead.
To all the other faithful Kappa Sigs AEKDB
What an asshole.
I hope karma sucks your soul out and that satan skullf***s you and your children. This makes me want to punch a baby. AEKDB to all TRUE Kappa Sigmas.
Skull and Thigh Bones!!!
All my fellow banana slugs are upset at this Assange for leaking this shit. What an ASSangehole.
Fuck I hate frats! Hazing & bumfucking each other. GREEKS!
Bik,
You appear to be frustrated. Hating something you know nothing about is just a waste of time. You should really get some help for your anger before you end up biting a pillow in prison.

KR ’94
p.s. GBR is USA’s Bitch!
Read all you want, it won’t make you one of us.
hehe, you really think your stupid fraternity is that much important… and a “sacred” book… Whoever brainwashed you did a good job:)
This shits old
This is sad. It has more meaning when you understand what you are reading, and lived through pledging, innitiation and brother hood, which is for life. Reading it alone will not give someone the true benefits of brotherhood.
Any tool who would put the time and effort into making a false copy of a ritual and post it on a website obviously got tired of masturbating to pictures of his relatives…
A-B
This is bullshit. I formally pledge in 3 days. I haven’t even seen this book or heard any of it’s contents, I’m not even a brother yet and i am pissed. This is very disrespectful. If a KE finds out who you are. Probably some pike. I’m an asshole till I die, but I’d rather be an asshole than a mother fucking pike.
if you find one on Alpha omicron pi let me know
Dis frat is suck, anti christ shame of dis frat. kaluoy sa ma recuit satanas na
putang ina na gruop ito, mga satanas allah will kill u all..
What a douche. This fag probably got rejected from the greek system and feels that it is necessary to expose the traditions of the fraternity. Keep playing Magic you cock sucker.
AEKDB
All yall that are hating on the greatest fraternity in the world are just disappointments.
You missed your chance to become part of something you can never hope to understand.
No mater how much of our ritual you know, you will never know a thing about brotherhood.
I feel sorry for you people in other “fraternities,” making comments against Kappa Sigma, you have no idea how much your missing.
And to whatever prick uploaded this, you obviously don’t know what is done to people like you or you never would have never violated the confidences of my fraternity.
A.E.K.D.B.
Skull and Thigh Bones. Remember that.
AEKDB
If any true Kappa Sigma sees this wretch and sad excuse of a human, he will be punished to the point where his family will be disgraced that he actually was on this planet. His existence is an insult to any person who has any source of integrity.
I hope you rot in hell you dirty bastard
Fuck You,
AEKDB
I hope joe fucks up and puts his full name on something..
So now that the secret is out…why not reveal a little more and tell us what the hazing ritual is? Do you bumfuck each other or what?
Derek,
There is no hazing ritual except the one you probably experienced…. Rejection.
All else,
This is what binds our brotherhood and guides us to be better men than those who found it necessary to stab their brothers in the back. This is a disgrace that someone who, past diligence and commitment, hand on the bible, swore to protect her colors from fading felt but sullied her ritual instead. You are not a brother, but a waste.
Α.Ε.Κ.Δ.Β.
joe seriously looks like one of those creepy loser kids that could never get into a fraternity party. Read whatever you want, it only holds true meaning to TRUE brothers. Α.Ε.Κ.Δ.Β.
Not only disgraceful, but hurtful to those brothers who truly have dedicated themselves to this great bond. When we take precious time and work from our lives to put into this fraternity, we are building a friendship that is worth more than all the money and power you could dream of with your stupid conspiracy theories. When you shirk this charge and piss on our trust, you are hurting yourself and pissing on that humanity and brotherly love that unites us. My question is: why? Why do you hurt yourself so when you could stand as an equal with your fellow men? Not only would I not trust you as a brother, I would not trust you as a friend. I never want to meet such unloving people as you.
Semper
AEKDB
You want me to take it down? Does it make a difference now? What’s the hazing ritual? I’ll take it down if you say please.
I’m not a member of this fraternity, but I have a few good friends in this fraternity. I would appreciate if you would down this ritual. It is a sacred experience, and it is a very private thing. I know secrets don’t make friends, but in this case, secrets makes lifelong bonds. If would please take it down I’m sure Kap Sig and the whole greek community as a whole would appreciate it.
Whomever your name is, I feel pity for you. You feel the need to post our ritual on here, and it is Our Ritual. In it’s entireity. I’ve been out of school almost 10 years but the bonds I made as an active brother far surpass any frustration I feel for seeing a sad little keyboard commando like you share secrets that were never yours to share. You hide behind a screen name, use a picture of yourself in a ski mask and post under anonymous sites like here and 4chan. It’s times like this that I think the cancer that ravaged my Kappa Sig brother Doug’s health so many years ago, would have been better spent on you.
I pledged Kappa Sig a couple of years ago, and thought it was a complete joke. Sure, they told us we needed to focus on school, but having meetings on weekday mornings that lasted till 2-4AM on a school night didn’t help. They quickly assured us that the college had a no-hazing policy that they would break, and it didn’t take long for them to prove they were not joking. Beatings, mustard, throwing up… it was a bad time. As the meetings continued, I grew closer to more of the older Kappa Sigs that had graduated than the ones that were still in college. It was a pleasure to help the grads as apposed to the forced labor of the undergrads. It was the grads that also advised myself to leave quietly due to my religious beliefs not being compatible, and I appreciate them letting me know. After reading this book, it doesn’t seem like anything I would want to be apart of. As for the fraternity on campus, it’s continued its decline, and I don’t expect it to be around much longer.
Can you please take it down? I’m being civil and a asking politely. Thats all I ask.
Get a life you waste of air. If your idea of brotherhood is trying to expose the book that “unites” us as brothers, then you are a sad sack of shit. Yes, you may have posted something we all share in common, but you did not expose why we are truely brothers. I hope when you sleep at night, you know that you were an accident to the world and will be no better than the paper that wipes my ass. You are only part of the problem that is in the world today, the other portion is the mothers that birth fucks like you. Your lack of appreciation for something that you should be proud of being part of will put you in the dark pits of hell, watching the devil himself piss on your grave. I pray that you never reproduce to the world will not have to put of with inconsiderate accidents that share the same genes as you and your family. You will read this and just disregard all the things that have been just said. But just remember the world would be better off without you.
Oh and for the “hazing ritual”… we find fucks who expose OUR ritual and ill let you fill in the blank
AEKDB
on a serious note, your not worthy of living skull and bones bitch
I am a member of a fraternity although not this one. However 2 of my best friends are apart of Kappa Sigma. I am asking you, as a fellow human being, to show some compassion to these men who have given so much to a brotherhood. Please, if you have a heart, remove this.
Alright, let me just throw some facts out here.
1. The worthless fuckwit that went into his own Chapter Room and took a picture of our secret order deserves to be punished in the exact ways we promised we would accept if we betrayed the order. No real brother of the Fraternity would deny this, I know that to be true.
2. I dare anybody, anybody at all, to come to my Chapter Room and present me with The Grip and Due Gard highlighted in this worthless shit’s description. Although he makes an attempt to reveal the secret sign that is the Due Gard, he fails at it. So please, come try to do that and I’ll know instantly that you aren’t a brother.
3. There is no set “hazing” ritual to any Fraternity in the United States, so you can stop asking about that. Every Chapter operates individually as most forms of hazing are frowned upon by the National Boards of all Fraternities. So, sorry everyone, there are no set was to “haze” pledges. However, when there is hazing, it is not something that Nationals permits or is regulated. That is solely the operation of the individual Chapter. Nobody actually fucks a goat or has to fuck another guy, so that can end here and now. All of you that are not in a Fraternity or Sorority, you just will not understand it so stop running around trying to see if we all are disgusting. Every Chapter is different, so on behalf of all Greeks across the United States, I apologize for anybody that behaved in a way that made you see Greeks in a negative light. They were not upholding one of the most core values of all Fraternities; to be a Gentleman.
So, please take this down. You have the “hazing” policy right there in front of you. Ask any person in any Fraternity, or at any Chapter of Kappa Sigma and you will find that the words I have said are true. As another person, have some consideration and remove something that people have spent their lives devoted to.
One last thing; “It is always Fraternity and never ‘Frat’.”
AEKDB Brothers.
Whoever leaked this should be ashamed of this, and will go to hell, dont forget what you swore to god and your life not to show dumbass… have fun burning up.
Even as a pledge I have more than enough respect to honor our secrecy and rightfully earn the privilege to experience and learn the ritual. You are an absolute disgrace to your fraternity, brothers and alumni.
Sad that someone would post this.
But noone can understand the true meaning of being a kappa sigma except us brothers. It’s a bond nobody can break.
A->B brews.
Lambda omega
When I became a brother I heard about people like you Joe. Whatever your name is or who you are it all comes out eventually. Kappa Sigma Fraternity is very large I would probably stay inside for the rest of your life. But lets be honest you sit at your computer and wack off all day. Thats why you want the hazing policy. Sorry buddy we dont roll that way.
Brothers the bond is forever.
AEKDB
Ahhhhh frat! What a bunch of clowns. Its my burday and I got wasted and hazed all the k swig pledges tonight. ROKUS!!!
no comment
You better take this down now or I will take it down myself motherfucker!
I don’t even know where to begin to say how horrible this is!! My boyfriend is in this fraternity and frankly it is so wrong to do this to the kappa sigs!!! Some of the most amazing people I have met are members of this fraternity…. If it was meant to be know it would have but this was supposed to remain to be secret and I believe you should take it down….. I will NOT take in part in reding this book I would like it if someone knows how to take this down? I am very sad about this and I had to tell my significant other this and it made me feel like a complete jerk to tell him this, but all the kappa sigs need to know about stuff like this being leaked online…. And every precaution needs to be taken, to all the kappa sigs, I’m sorry someone got a hold of this and put it online just know u have my word on NEVER reading it. Also, on another note this makes me terribly sad because my papa was a kappa sig at university of wyoming (if I’m not mistaken).
Sincerely,
The girlfriend who is in love with a kappa sig
HAHAHA, I hope they never take this down! What do you fratties and sorostitutes have to hide? I’m a proud GDI for life, and I hope that one day everyone knows all the weird, fucked up “brotherhood” shit you people do.
Wow…that was super gay, I can’t believe I just skimmed through that. Y’all were all stirred up about some swords and steps and hand signs…what the fuck? Bloods and crips make more sense than this shit, fuck fraternities
You can read our ritual, learn our signs and our secret words; but you will never be a Kappa Sigma. You will never know the brotherhood that we have. And you will never experience anything close to it.
Your obvious insecurity, jealous, and loneliness disgusts me.
To all my brothers out there: AEKDB
To all the poser GDIs out there: while you can look up what it means – you’ll never truly understand it.
Go ahead and read eery single page of this book, You will never understand the true meaning of brotherhood.
A.E.K.∆.B to all my brothers out there.
HAHAHA any fool could attempt to read a book!! None of you fools could understand what KAPPA SIGMA is all about. Your find make me laugh. ahaha lmao
TO: All the important people that matter in this world,
A.E.K.∆.B for life
If this is so stupid to all you GDI’s then why waste time reading it? Calmly stated, explaining the meaning of this book is like explaining the bible to an aetheist. You can deny any truth you want but it means something to us. We are the largest and most preferred fraternity in the world and nothing will make me ashamed of Kappa Sigma. AEKDB Brothers.
P.S. everyone knows GDIs are lame and have gay ass parties. The gentlemen with sailboats and mansions are who everyone wants to party with.
Just saw this – when we find you Joe, those fingertips are coming off.
We have people everywhere and you have woken a sleeping lion who was harming no one. Your IP address is traceable, so is your computer, so is your home address. Keep looking over your shoulder. We’re coming.
Listen Joe, we take this shit serious. Our headquarters has convicted every person to date that has posted anything about our ritual or our secrets. Most of them are in prison. As you can tell from reading it our history is Masonic, and our oath is serious. We will find you, and you will pay. Take this down for your own fucking good.
I hope you feel accomplished exposing the very bottom rung of what our truths really mean. To think that any society based in secrecy would record their most sacred rights in a book is to acknowledge your own stupidity in trying to post it. This means nothing, changes nothing, and if anything serves to deter those seeking what is really held at our heart. Masonic orders are arranged hierarchically, with writings such as these remaining at the bottom.
AEKDB
To the Kappa Sig’s,
I feel for you when I noticed that your ritual had been published on a leaks site. I know the feeling. As a brother of Lambda Chi Alpha, we too can feel your pain. Just realize that these GDI’s can read the damn book, but they don’t realize that most of our secrets are never written down, let alone uttered if not in a locked and guarded room. They may think that they know what our initiations are, but all they know is the words.
In ZAX.
To the GDI’s,
Fuck you. You are just some stupid ass ignorant reject to society whose mommy and daddy raised you in some little lower middle class household where you weren’t able to go greek if even to college. Shut the hell up, you have no idea of the secrets that GLO’s hold and considering that almost every president has been Greek, you’ll never go anywhere if you are a GDI.
Fuck Geeds
As a brother of the order, I am shocked. You GDI’s are some real ignorant pieces of shit. The fact that you would go out of your way to get a book, in which you have no idea what the fuck any of it means makes me wonder how much of a life you have. You better be careful about the shit you start posting about peoples secrets, because pretty soon you’re going to piss off a wrong brother of mine, and they’re going to kick the living shit out of you, and you can take my word for that. No matter what you get from us, whether it be a book, or a meaning to something, you will NEVER know what we’ve been through as brothers, or even what it means to call eachother brothers. We know what that means, and you will NEVER get that out of us. Fuck you GDI’s, you low life queers. You should probably move out of your parents house, and get off their computer trying to find shit, and try to find yourself a job at McDonald’s or something, I think they’re hiring GDI’s.
To all my brothers out there as a part of the order,
A.E.K.Δ.B.
I can’t believe you are willing to relive this type of stuff in the afterlife just so you understand what you do is wrong. you must be shown respect in order to receive it, even if that means understanding how others earned it when you cannot on your own.
Haha, so you think that by exposing our ritual book you know what we do, what we are about and all of our secrets? That is funny, that is like a stepping stone to our fraternites secrets. Nice try and good luck finding the rest. Our most sacred stuff is only passed down via word.
I have a question for you. Did you get denied a bid?
Have fun GDI, i shall find you soon enough, not like most eight year old children cant hack now.
AEKDB Brothers.
Okay for everybody who commented on this, you all sound like retards!! (Exception me) Lol! You frat boys think your hard?! Wait what makes you guys above anyone else? You all eat eachothers cum sooner or later or slam the same slutty girl! fraternities now vs back then when they were first founded have gone through hell of a lot of changes!! The new generations is no longer true to the old custom and tradition!! Even the belief system is lacking! More than half of you fecal – matter’s never heard of the word masonry let alone know what Masonic symbolism is! The most heavily guarded secret is lying in plain sight!!!!! Can anyone else see it too??!
Lol what is GDI lol they sound like lames as a brother of the oder and a founding father of my Chapter I will say we for give u and come halls at us when u ready to become a Real man lol BTW Kappa Sigma is the largeist fraternity in the world we must be doing something right.lol AEKDB
G. I. Joe, this isn’t public information You better hope none of us find out who you are cause this is the type of shit we’ll kill for. You don’t fuck with our ritual. And you haters can say what you want but we are the most preferred fraternity in the world and will be better off in life than all of you GDIs. To all my brothers reading this:
A.E.K.D.B
I’m shaking in my boots. Can i jerk off in a bucket and drink the cum with you guys? Initiate me into your fraternity cum guzzler. I’ll endure any type of hazing as long as I can belong to Kappa Sigma.
If you can find the ritual book of Kappa Alpha Order, that would be great too. In the end, the truth reveals itself.
Wow do u really think anyone who is not a ΚΣ cares whats in the damn book. The majority of our traditions and rituals are passed down by word of mouth and CANNOT be found in any out of date and inacurate ritual book. The secrecy in its self is the oldest of our traditions originally designed for the mutuel protection of its members from thoses who would see them harmed. Although u have nothing of modern significans other than a book that holds more of a symbolic purpose and a close place in the hearts of all whom were found worthy to bare the Star and Crecent it is a great insult for you to think you have something and to post it with such malcontent. Heed my warning for what you have done is made your self an enemy of evey Kappa Sigma on the planet. You have publicized information that out of ancient tradition we have kept secret for six hundered years. When our order was young during the 1400s the punishment for this kind of disgrace was death by dismemberment. There are many within our order today that are rich in wealth and resorce, whom are more than capable of finding you. Watch yourself friend…

Being a member of two organizations has taught me something in my life. I am a kappa sigma and will be for life and I am also a US Army disabled veteran, I joined kappa sigma after being medically retired from the military and I have not found a brotherhood that comes close to what I had with my squad mates. Anywhere I go in country I have a neither. If you want to choose to be a GDI then that’s fine its your choice but you will never understand the meaning of this ritual or the brotherhood that goes with it. As far as it being put online I hope somebody takes it down because everyone in the know knows that the person who posted this tried to rush and was denied because he did not embody the four pillars. To all of the brothers I say A.E.K.D.B. to all the rest i say pull your head out of your ass and learn something from those of us who do know a thing or two about life or if nothing else respect history even if its not yours.
I don’t need to read a book to know about ur danm signs and secrets. It’s all over the web. All those hand symbols are pretty explanatory . devil worshippers and freemason wannabes . sell ur souls for wealth, and what ever else that will satisfy ur selfish human desires. u all talk of respect yet none of you here have shown it so respect my ass. No one is jealous or even wants to be part of ur satanic Shit. lame . And 4 ur stupid treats : U can hurt the flesh but never the would of the “REAL CHOSEN ONES” _!_
Well it’s clear that Joe here either didn’t get a bid or dropped due to hazing. I think you made that pretty obvious. SO.. you will most likely be a little disheartened when I tell you that this is not the Kappa Sigma Ritual. The Ritual of Kappa Sigma was changed when put into the 1995 edition of this book and when it went viral it was returned to its original format. The “updated” ritual (which is not really an update, perhaps a downdate..?) is less than 4 years old. In short… you could probably start a different fraternity with the 1995 edition of the book as they are more different than they are alike.
to my brothers.. if you are a guard, greet this guy at the door.
ΑΕΚΔΒ
and it’s you’re… not your. “your” is possessive, “you’re” is a contraction meaning “you are”
I thought you didn’t get a bid or dropped due to hazing. Now I am thinking you didn’t go to college.
G.I. Joe, get out of your mother’s basement! While you are at it, you need to adjust your tin-foil hat. Shiny side out, remember! Damn GDI.
My brothers: A.E.K.D.B
To all my brothers out there reading this for the first time, don’t get upset. That is the reaction this guy wants. Instead lead by example by being the gentlemen we strive to be, and know that because our book is published our real secrets about what it actually means to be a brother is real inside our hearts forever and that can not be put into words. STAY STRONG BROTHERS- AEKDB
I have served in the military i have seen people get killed and the people closest to me killed and as a kappa sigma these brothers no matter where they are are closer to me because of what we share together. For the GDIs that are on here and talking about that we are a “frat” you are so wrong. We are brothers no matter what you do or say these brothers are mine and would die for one of these men. This is something worth dying for. You have pissed off the wrong brother. A.E.K.D.B my brothers and let’s prevent this and get this site shut down and these people out in jail. “We are kappa sigmas were riders of the night were rowdy mother fuckers rather fuck than fight so rowdy rowdy Christ almighty who the fuck are we God damn sons of bitches A.E.K.D.B WOO

It’s unfortunate that this was posted online for everyone to see. Although they won’t understand it in it’s full meaning, it is still sad to see here. It takes a lot to become a brother of Kappa Sigma, so don’t tarnish our name like this. Respect my brothers.
To my brothers,
Be respectful of them. They don’t understand what they’re doing. They’ll receive their punishment one day.
AEKDB
As a brother of Kappa Sigma, in one way, the fact that someone took the time and effort to go to all of this trouble, actually, to some extent, makes me proud to be a part of this brotherhood. I always remember that my parents spoke frequently that there are many people, that even though they personally had not made a mark in society, that they felt the need to attack or somehow discredit those that had made it… like trying to get up the ladder of life, by stepping on other’s shoulders and heads to climb.
If for no other reason than to have it made public and verified by Wikileaks and others… that Kappa Sigma is the LARGEST AND OLDEST FRATERNITY !!!!
It is unfortunate that people feel some sort of accomplishment be doing things like this. The part that this is just the surface of what all of our true and truly secrets actually are. I know that this has been commented on already… but all of you out there that read this book, please realize that it is just the surface information and that most of the deepest ritual/secrets are shared through the pledging, but most, during the final initiation… and not by reading this ritual… in addition to it.
I have seen some of the comments… and I do understand the anger by some of my fellow brothers, but… we just need to remember why our original chapter in the city of Bologna was founded… and hold those precepts close today, more than ever.
For those of you that see this site… and for whatever reason… you actually take the time to read my comment. Just know this. I was initiated over 40 years ago, and to this day… most of my closest and dependable friends… are those men that were a part of my chapter.
To all of my brothers. AEKDB

God the almighty will judge you when the time is right. Bye! Have a nice eternity in hell . I’m sure Satan will have some nice rituals for you when you get there too. God blesses KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. Always has and always will. Maybe one of our brethren will get to be the prosecutor or judge that puts you away and leaves you broke. Then again you probably won’t have to wait that long. Someone with no character or moral sense of decency such as yourself is destined to be broke, lonely, and cast out. Have fun loser.

The Grip: just a regular handshake, but with your index finger extended and touching the other person’s wrist
Word of Distress: “Rocus”
The Word is the English word “succor,” meaning “help,” spelled in reverse, with the omission of a letter
Due Guard: use your right hand, extend all your fingers outward and place it over your collar bone with the palm of your hand facing the floor. Your left hand should have its fingers extended outward, with palm facing the floor, but your entire arm should be angled at a 45 degrees angle downward
The Penal Sign: Have your arms straight down on your side, with the palm of your hands touching your body. Then place your right hands just like in the position of the due guard. Now slide it over your upper chest from left to right, so your hand eventually touches and crosses your right collar bone while keeping your palm facing the floor. Then, your left hand should take a similar position but this time over your waist. Fingers extended, palm facing the floor, and slide from right to left

I am a Freemason and a Kappa Sigma brother. I can tell you I was very disappointed when during my degree work I realized that Stephen Alonzo Jackson literally took the rituals he learned in Freemasonry and made them his own in “creating” the rituals of Kappa Sigma. He was a Freemason first and broke his original oaths to this original brothers. He stole something ancient and beautiful and tried to make it his own. I find a much higher cause and much better brotherhood in Freemasonry.
You can tell the information is true from the voracity of the condemnation. Any other questions about the “secrets” of this “600 year old brotherhood from Bologna, the CIty of Letters” just ask.

A question to Gaius Gracchus,
In reading your comments, it sounds as though you are disappointed in the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, because of Stephen Alonzo Jackson.
My question is why?
The historical basis of the fraternity’s original traditions were disclosed by the person who shared them with the brothers who were travelling in Europe, in his effort to assure the continuity of his brotherhood, from the 5 greatest universities, including Bologna… that he hoped that his brotherhood would disappear for want of brothers to continue the colors that hung from his study. That is when much of the secrets were disclosed.
Yes, Stephen Alonzo Jackson expanded the ritual, etc., but neither you nor I were there to confirm just how much he added that wasn’t already part of what was earlier disclosed… and… were you there to hear how he presented his own contributions? Did he take 100% credit? Without disclosure? Was he in-fact, just the initiator… that enegized a group effort with others from within the 5 Friends and Brothers… and maybe even a few of the newer initiates?
After all… over the first few decades of our renewed, American founding, many thigs evolved… the colors, the design of the badge, etc.
After all… the original founding was between 1390 & 1400, (at the very same time as the Freemasons), for mutual protection from Balthazar Cossa. Who is to say that there wern’t already co-members of both… or… that the original secrets of the Kappa Sigma’s first foundings didn’t share the secrets with the Freemasons? There are unlimited parallels between the Freemasons and other secret orders… after-all, over 600 years elapsed… even today, there are multiple, very similar, secret acts, gestures, words and phrases… with who knows how many of the other secret societies… whether they be viewed as good or bad… or bear any similarity… perhaps the Knights Templar… after-all, one of the heros of the Knights Templar was the Worthy Grand Master: Jacques De Molay (sound familiar?), perhaps the Illuminati… which was supposedly founded by a person who joined the Freemasons and then created his own society, built on similar structure and secrets.
Who is to know what preceded The Freemasons.. and where their ritual originated?
How many other fraternities had Freemason influence?
As for your preference of the Freemasons over Kappa Sigma… it is easy to see one point… your most active participation in Kappa Sigma formally ends with you graduating from college… whereas… you can drop by the Masonic lodge at will, for the remainder of your life.
My contention is, that I would much more highly value the brotherhood of Kappa Sigma… that was founded out of necessity, for mutual protection, than one that is founded on an occupation… granted, as we all know… both are much deeper than what is on the surface. But, with the Masons… the lodges are all over the place and provide continuous activities… Yet… today, even though there is just 300-ish Kappa Sigma locations internationally… targeted towards those still in college… most of my closest friends are my Kappa Sigma Brothers… as you so eloquently disclosed (with harmful intent), AEKDB
It is my contention, that in your… not-well-thought-out-attack on the beautiful brotherhood of Kappa Sigma… because of (maybe), one person (without proof… that you may have falsely accused), that you, in reality and recklessly betrayed all of your Freemason brothers, of whom you hold in higher regard than those of your Kappa Sigma Brothers… by further disclosing far, far more than what had already been previously disclosed… as identical to the Secrets of the Masons… Thus… betraying your Masonic brothers… even worse than that of which, you accused Stephen Alonzo Jackson. IF… and I say IF… it was as you state that it was… he did it secretly… and only among his brothers… YOU DID IT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE THE SECRETS OF THE MASONS.
Mr. Gaius Gracchus…
I would most humbly suggest… that you have been given a true blessing of being a brother in two of the most cherished, fraternal organiztions… one that will always welcome you to functions as an alumni… and another that you can drop in on a weekly basis with numerous locations. You should probably spend more time in prayer for thanks to our LORD, for giving those blessings to you and take some time to enjoy both. I would hope that you can still contact some of your pledge brothers or others that were active when you were… or just attempt to get reacquinted with your local alumni organization… and recapture some of the good times of your youth and dreams… and possibly find that a few of them have also become your double brothers by also being with the Masons.
AEKDB my brother.
