The Kappa Rho chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. was chartered at the University of Wisconsin at Madison on May 23, 1979. The idea to start a Phi Beta Sigma chapter in Madison, Wisconsin first originated in the fall of 1978, and was the brainchild of Bros. Anthony L. McKnight and Lowell U. Collins. What they started in 1978 has grown consistently since then, and the Sigma Light which they saw continues to live in the hearts of the men who have been initiated into the Fraternity through Kappa Rho, and who continue to strive for excellence. The Kappa Rho chapter has been celebrating over 44 Years of Brotherhood, Scholarship and Service here on campus and in the community, and have received numerous awards and recognition for our contributions to humanity.
