We would like to welcome our new Delta Omega Pledge Initiates, who were initiated into the Kappa Sigma Brotherhood tonight, March 20th.  Five Delta Omega Alumni, Brian McGinn ('87), Bobby Finch ('88), Ted Kachris ('87), Paul Hamlin ('87) and Mike Summers ('84) participated with the initiation process and helped welcome the new Brothers. Ted Kachris's son, Alexander Kachris, was one of the twenty initiated. See more pictures here.

On Friday, April 27th, the Delta Omega Chapter will hold it's annual "Be Bald, Beat Cancer" event, which raises money for the CureSearch Organization. Individuals participate by voluntarily having their heads completely shaved by campus barber Dean Shore.  Brothers and friends grill and watch while the heads are being shaved to raise funds for childhood cancer research. This year, the fundraiser will be moved from the Fraternity patio to the patio on the lower campus quad to allow for more bald heads and to further encourage fellow Wake Forest students to participate. In addition, the Delta Omegas are receiving support from both the Chi Omega Sorority and the Wake Forest Baseball team for this yearly event. For pictures of last year's event, click here. If you would like to make a donation to support the cause, please direct yourself to the donate tab on the right of this webpage. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact Storm Saponaro at saposa9@wfu.edu. 

On March the 3^rd, a man with a message any Fraternity brother can learn from visited our chapter. Bronson Sallie the 3^rd was initiated as Honorary Brother Sallie of the Delta Omega chapter of Kappa Sigma here at Wake Forest. Because Brother Sallie’s father was a Siggie many years ago and has unfortunately been diagnosed with cancer, Bronson asked our chapter to initiate him so he can share this special bond with his father. As his father fights for life, his fraternity brothers and family are the ones beside his hospital bed. When Mr. Sally spoke to our chapter and most recent pledge class he explained that in the end of life, all we have is “Family and a Few Good Friends.” Our Chapter truly saw how important the bond of brotherhood is in life and will carry these moral lessons with us on our journey to better our school and community while working together to overcome life’s most difficult complications. We thank Brother Sally for showing us how special it is to be a Kappa Sigma Brother in the Delta Omega Chapter. Mr. Sallie’s message of loyalty was instilled in all Delta Omega Brothers.

 We will be hosting our annual charity run on Thursday, April 14^th, 2011. Since the early eighties, our chapter has hosted this event, formerly called the Piccolo Run, in which brothers run a relay from the original campus in Wake Forest, North Carolina to today’s Reynolda campus in Winston-Salem. The Mark Pruitt Run for the MacKay Foundation has raised a significant amount of donations in recent years and we look forward to continuing our success with the help of your generous contributions.

 The run will begin on Thursday afternoon, April 14^th, at the original Wake Forest campus and will end Friday, April 15^th, around noon in front of Wait Chapel. Different relay teams made up of Kappa Sigma brothers will run the total distance of 120 miles in approximately twenty hours. We encourage you to show your support by joining us in celebrating the completion of the event on Friday afternoon.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the MacKay Foundation for Cancer Research, which has raised over $950,000 toward continuing research at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Section on Hematology and Oncology. Further detail concerning the MacKay Foundation can be found on the attached form. We would greatly appreciate any donations toward this noble cause. We accept checks payable to Kappa Sigma Fraternity-Delta Omega mailed to the address above, or for your convenience, electronic donations are possible via PayPal on our new chapter website, www.kappasigmadeltaomega.com. If you choose to donate via PayPal, please specify in the “Add special instructions” box that your contribution is for the Mark Pruitt Run.
