Merillat, president of Kappa Sigma’s international board of directors. “Winning a Founders’ Award of Chapter Excellence means that our chapter at Midwestern State University is not just one of the best chapters in Kappa Sigma, but is one of the best fraternity chapters on any college campus in North America.”
