‘Tis the season! Not for carols and presents or stockings and snow, for football. There’s no season like football season when you’re a Penn State alum. Time to dust off the coolers and inventory the tailgate gear…another Nittany Lion football season is here!

Kappa Sigma is Back at Penn State

It is with great pride to let all of our alumni know that our Charter is back and the Alpha-Delta Chapter has returned to Penn State!
