Kappa Alpha Sigma is a women's Greek social-service organization founded on the following seven virtues: love, hope, charity, honesty, loyalty, obedience, and self-help. Currently the oldest local sorority at UW-Platteville, Kappa Alpha Sigma was founded in 1957 as Kariathesis, and it was officially recognized in 1959. It adopted the name Kappa Alpha Sigma in 1965. We strive to strengthen the bonds of sisterhood through our virtues.
Our five objectives are
1. To achieve or promote the qualities set forth by the seven ladies of Karias.
2. To promote better cooperation and understanding between university faculty and students.
3. To secure better participation by the student body at all school functions.
4. To provide better social, intellectual, and recreational activities for university women.
5. To arouse intellectual curiosity and promote scholarly excellence.
The flower is the pink tea rose.
The jewel is the ruby.
The Kappa Alpha Sigma brother fraternity was Lambda Sigma Pi.
Our motto is "Loyalty Always, Sisterhood Forever."
The current Kappa Alpha Sigma House is located at 520 W. Main St, Platteville, WI.
