The Rho-Nu Chapter of Kappa Sigma was chartered at The University of Texas at Tyler in 2023 with a clear goal: to build a fraternity that leads through brotherhood, service, and accountability.

Though we are a young chapter, we have worked quickly to establish ourselves as one of the most active and high-performing student organizations on campus. Our brotherhood is built on the values of fellowship, leadership, scholarship, and service, and we believe those values should show up in more than just words. They should be seen in the way we serve our community, support one another, and represent UT Tyler.

This year, Rho-Nu was recognized nationally with the Founders’ Circle Award, given to the top 2% of Kappa Sigma chapters, along with the Founders’ Award of Chapter Excellence and the Bishop Bowl Silo Champion Award. For a chapter chartered in 2023, these honors reflect the commitment, work ethic, and standard our brothers have built from the ground up.

In the past year, our chapter has raised more than $43,000 for charitable causes, including our national philanthropy, the Military Heroes Campaign, which supports veterans and military-focused organizations. Through events like our Veterans Benefit Car Show with Hazelwood Car Shows, campus service projects, and community partnerships, we aim to make a real impact beyond ourselves.

We are also committed to building a stronger campus community. From pizza study nights at the library to Christmas tree lighting events, recruitment, philanthropy, and student engagement, our chapter works to create spaces where students can connect, feel supported, and be part of something meaningful.

What makes Rho-Nu special is not just what we have accomplished, but how quickly our brothers have bought into the mission. We are still building our legacy, and that gives every member the opportunity to shape what this chapter becomes.

At Rho-Nu, fraternity is not just about joining an organization. It is about becoming part of a brotherhood that challenges you to grow, serve, lead, and leave something better than you found it.
