Xi-Delta Chapter of Kappa Sigma was founded at The University of Texas at San Antonio in 1995. The preserved installation materials date the Xi-Delta Chapter Installation Banquet to April 29, 1995.
For more than three decades, the chapter has built a tradition of brotherhood, leadership, service and accountability at UTSA. That foundation continues today through generations of undergraduate members and a strong alumni network.
Together, these materials preserve the names, leadership and early traditions that form the foundation of Xi-Delta’s story.

Alpha Pledge Class
The first pledge class in Xi-Delta history.
The 1995 installation program identifies these 12 brothers as Xi-Delta’s Alpha Pledge Class—the first men to begin their Kappa Sigma journey through the newly established chapter. Their place in Xi-Delta history marks the beginning of a pledge-class tradition that continues today.
