The Star & Crescent
” The Star and Crescent Shall not be worn by every man,
but only by him who is worthy to wear it.
He must be a gentleman…
a man of honor and courage
a man of zeal, yet humble…
an intelligent man…
a man of truth…
one who tempers action with wisdom…
and, above all else,
one who walks in the light of God. “

Edmund Law Rogers
Founding Father
The original Constitution names the Fraternity “Kappa Sigma,” describes the Badge, and gives significance to the emblems appearing on it. The original Badge was designed by Edmund Law Rogers and during the Christmas holidays of 1869, an order of badges was placed with Sadtler & Sons of Baltimore, Maryland. Upon their return to campus in spring 1870, the Five Friends and Brothers proudly displayed the Star and Crescent of Kappa Sigma for the first time.
