Capital University features more than 70 student organizations. This includes 13 fraternities and sororities, arts and media organizations, cultural organizations, honors societies, campus programming, religious organizations, service organizations, and government and social organizations.
Kappa Sigma Upsilon has the notable distinction of being the first Fraternal organization on the Capital campus. The proposal of a Fraternal group became a reality when on January 12, 1927, a group of some sixty men attended its first meeting in the reception room of Divinity Hall and signed its constitution. At the following meeting, the officers were elected and Harold Yochum (former University President) was chosen to be the group's first president. The new organization had as its purpose the "furthering of 'Cap Spirit' " with the provision of a social organization for men to stimulate that social spirit. The Greek letters were chosen from the words Kapitolics, Skole, and Ueci which, when translated, give the meaning "Men of Capital University."
Today over twenty brothers have been selected to continue the rich tradition of Kappa Sigma Upsilon through social and service events.
