The Legion of Honor proudly celebrated the re-chartering of the Kappa Gamma Chapter at Cal Poly Pomona with a weekend of ceremonies and fellowship on February 27-28. On Friday evening, 28 colony members were initiated into the Fraternity alongside five members of Pi Sigma Chi—also known as Poly Service Club—the local predecessor to the chapter. The initiation ceremony was conducted by a Ritual Team composed of members of the High Council. Regent Steve Ratterman (Indiana) served as Commander, joined by Regent-Elect Jason Lyons (Jefferson) as Lt. Commander, Grand Treasurer David Glassman (Eastern Michigan) as Marshal, and Vice Regents Al Wurster (Purdue) and Michael Barry (Georgia), as Chaplain and Sentinel, respectively. The celebration continued Saturday with the chapter’s White Rose Formal banquet, which brought together 150 guests, including 48 Kappa Gamma alumni and representatives from 24 Sigma Nu chapters. The program featured remarks from chapter leaders Commander Alan Muñoz and former Lt. Commander Jerric Wu, as well as alumni and Fraternity leaders, including Juan Lopez, Kappa Gamma #1; fellow Kappa Gamma alumnus and current Division Commander Jordan Wu; staff members Chaysen Babcock (Northern Arizona) and Mac McNeilly (Huntingdon); and Regent Ratterman. During the evening, the chapter’s charter was formally presented, the Officers’ Oath was administered by the Regent, and the new Commander received his Commander’s Badge. Members of the High Council, Fraternity staff, alumni leaders, and volunteers from across the organization were present to mark the milestone and celebrate the official return of Kappa Gamma Chapter.

After 19+ years, the Kappa Gamma Chapter at Cal Poly Pomona is still making sure they take the time to celebrate their annual Sigma Nu Ugly Christmas Sweater Gathering. The event remains cherished and a favorite reason to come together.

In October, Brothers of the Kappa Gamma Chapter and alumni of its predecessor Pi Sigma Chi at Cal Poly Pomona hit the field for the 2nd annual softball game. The event was a great opportunity for alumni, family, and current members of Kappa Gamma to reconnect and celebrate the legacy of the chapter at CPP.
