The Gamma-Phi chapter of Kappa Sigma at WVU held a car bash fundraiser on September 25th, the weekend of the LSU vs. WVU football game. The fundraiser rose over $730 for The Kappa Sigma Military Hero’s Campaign. The Military Hero’s Campaign honors and helps soldiers that were wounded during active duty. Among many other things, it helps provide free housing for soldiers and their families during the rehabilitation process. The car bash was a huge success and all proceeds went to a great cause that supports our troops.

The minivan we used was donated by a local towing business, Vic’s Towing. We had the event right outside the hospital parking lot to get as much attention as we could. Brothers painted the van LSU purple and yellow to make it really standout. Most people didn’t know what we were doing with a painted old van but after we told them what it was for, they jumped right in and donated.
Overall it was huge success and a testament to how hard this chapter has worked. It wouldn’t have been possible without the help of all the brothers that spent countless hours making phone calls, painting the van, and bringing this whole project together.

The brothers of Kappa Sigma attended a volunteer work day on saturday, April 3rd at The Bradley Center. The Bradley Center is an accredited, behavioral healthcare and child welfare system that provides services for children with mental, emotional and behavioral disabilities.
Brothers were put to good use as they did an outdoor cleanup of the facility. We laid new mulch around the front of the building, painted picnic tables, planted flowers, and built a new bench for children waiting for the bus. Overall, it was a great day for the brothers of Kappa Sigma and The Bradley Center. We look foward to contributing our time and efforts to The Bradley Center in the future.

Dear Gamma Phi alumni,
We would like to extend an invitation to you, as well as your family, to attend our alumni weekend on Saturday October 23, 2010. The Mountaineers will be playing Syracuse. Festivities will begin Saturday morning with a tailgate near the new Erickson Alumni center. Then we will make our way to the stadium to root on the Mountaineers. After the game, alumnus Art Gallagher of the class of ’86 will host a postgame party at his establishment, the Brew Pub. There are several hotels in close proximity, and arrangements can be made for those who may not want to drive home afterward.
I currently have 100 tickets available for sale, at $50 each. If interested, please contact me at ksalnick@gmail.com or (908) 489-7865 to arrange payment. Please RSVP to me as soon as possible. We are really looking for a good turn out this year. The sooner you get back to me, the sooner I can get all the little details worked out on my end.
Everyone is really looking forward to this weekend. We can’t wait to see you there.
Alumni from the 60′s that could not make the September 18th Gathering are encouraged to make this one!!
