Series I – The Owls and Kappa Phi Sigma proceed of Sigma Tau Gamma Kappa Phi Sigma became Sigma Tau Gamma on November 30, 1934. The Owls adopted Greek letters and became known as Kappa Phi Sigma on February 12, 1928. Five men from each of the aforementioned literary societies formed the Owls in October 1916. ![]() In this belief, I will endeavor to make my college and my own chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma more honored and respected by all men and will endeavor to conduct myself so that I will ever bring credit and honor to our Fraternity.Sigma Tau Gamma can trace its beginning to the Clary and Wingo Literary Societies. I believe that Sigma Tau Gamma endeavors to bind men together in a fraternal brotherhood based upon these eternal and immutable truths, which are set forth in the Principles and in the Code of Conduct of our Fraternity. It teaches the fulfillment of obligations to school, state, and church. It enters the domain of private life as thoroughly as in public life. It is first associated almost exclusively with a narrow circle of fellow students, but it broadens with a widening understanding until it takes in all the important relationships of life. I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a thing that grows. We may call it the right attitude towards life, towards the world, towards right and wrong, towards the beautiful and good, towards duty and faith in God. ![]() I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a breath that breathes itself into the life and being of those who live it, becoming an unconscious part of them, ruling and molding their thoughts and acts. It is not the attitude toward a few selected ends, but rather the abiding spirit in which all things are done, all difficulties met, all successes received, all obstacles overcome. It grows into qualities of mind and soul. ![]() It springs out of a love of God and worth of one’s fellow man. ![]() It has its roots in definite, tangible things. I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a personal devotion to one’s ideals.
