| Now, for our own beginnings. We originally came onto the campus in December of 1946 as the Alpha Chapter of the Sigma Kappa Chi Fraternity. Sigma Kappa Chi consisted of only this single chapter and was local to Georgia State. We have committed to online format an informative final history of Sigma Kappa Chi, written by its members in 1957. Due to its length, we have included it in a separate page, located here. Eleven years after its creation, Sigma Kappa Chi petitioned the Supreme Executive Committee of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity for the right to colonize itself into a chapter of Kappa Sigma in May of 1957. After over a year of observance by the Fraternity as a Colony, Kappa Sigma decided to grant them with a charter. Thus, on September 15th, 1958, Epsilon-Omega was installed as Kappa Sigma's 156th chapter, and Sigma Kappa Chi ceased to formally exist. Brothers from Alpha-Tau Chapter at Georgia Tech, Beta-Lambda Chapter at the University of Georgia, and Beta-Eta Chapter at Auburn traveled to our campus to initiate our founding fathers into Kappa Sigma. In 2008, as we approach the 50th Anniversary of our chartering, Epsilon-Omega has initiated over 800 Brothers into our Order. We have remained solid over the years thanks to the sturdy foundation laid by Sigma Kappa Chi and the strong walls erected by Kappa Sigma. We stay at the forefront of the Greek community in academics, leadership and community service and we seek to continue to bring credit to our Chapter, to Georgia State University, and glory to the Kappa Sigma Fraternity for many years to come...

| THE HISTORY OF EPSILON-OMEGA |
Before delving into our own history, it
is worthwhile to look at that of our home
institution, Georgia State University. It was
founded in 1913 and was spun off from
Georgia Tech as a school primarily for
evening classes "in the new science of
business."
In 1947, the school switched its
affiliation to the University of Georgia. In
1955, it became independent and acquired
the name "Georgia State College of Business
Administration." Later, in 1969, the name
was changed to "Georgia State University"
to reflect the incredible growth in its degree
programs and outstanding quality of the
curriculum, which continues to this day.
In 1995, GSU was elevated by the Board
of Regents to "Research University" status,
which put the institution on level with
Georgia Tech, the University of Georgia, and
the Medical College of Georgia. Today, with
over 27,000 students, Georgia State has
become a leading research institution and is
known throughout the nation for its
outstanding business and public policy
programs despite the fact that it is yet to
have its first centennial.
