The Lambda-Xi Chapter of Kappa Sigma was originally chartered on October 5, 1973, and became the first national fraternity at the university that was then named Georgia College. The history of Lambda-Xi goes back further than this though. In 1971 a group of young men decided to join together and organize the first social organization in the history of the college. These young men founded Pi Beta Alpha. This group was very active in campus and community activities and also demonstrated excellence in academics and intramural sports. A group of Kappa Sigma Alumni noticed this local fraternity and talked with them about becoming a national fraternity. During August 1973 the alumni of Kappa Sigma in the Milledgeville area sponsored a fish fry for the members of Pi Beta Alpha. The alumni were interested in sharing their experiences in Kappa Sigma with them. The members of Pi Beta Alpha realized that Kappa Sigma was like no other fraternity. It had a tradition --- a tradition of proud men sharing brotherhood. Pi Beta Alpha voted to become a part of this tradition. After becoming a colony of Kappa Sigma, this young colony was very determined to prove its worth and become a chapter of Kappa Sigma. On March 29, 1974 the first national fraternity was chartered at Georgia College. The birth of Lambda-Xi was the beginning of something great. In more recent times, the Lambda-Xi Chapter has racked up quite a list of accomplishments and awards and continues to be a group of leaders at Georgia College and State University.
