Actually the "STAR AND CRESCENT" is not emblematic of Satan. It's actually a dedicated to the Abrahamic religions as Kappa Sigma requires it's
members to be a man of Faith.

Another way of looking into what Kappa Sigma is about would be to consider that it is a non-profit corporation. Most of its income is derived from
member dues and fees charged to chapters. Most of its expenses center around keeping chapters viable and facilitating alumni support activities.
The national organization provides extensive recruitment training, risk management guidance and promotional materials to the undergraduate chapter.
Alumni are supported via the publication of membership directories, volunteer opportunities (in support of the undergrad chapter), and social
networking through alumni chapters.
A separate endowment supports the educational efforts associated with the Fraternity.
Kappa Sigma is a business which promotes social interaction among male college and university students as its customer base.

The rituals of Freemasonry have existed for hundreds of years, many years before the American college fraternity movement was established. When the
college fraternities were founded the masonic rituals often served as templates for the collegiate rituals.
If one happens to unearth one of the few PhD thesis papers that delve into the meanings of college fraternity rituals they will discover an amazing
similarity of purpose between them. The performance elements differ considerably, but the intended effect is identical. If you happen to be a Kappa
Sigma it is defined by the "Star & Crescent".
A video produced for The History Channel in 1996 titled, "Secret Brotherhood of Freemasonry" illustrates a number of ritualistic elements that may
be found in today's collegiate rituals. Both new and used copies of the 50 minute program are widely available.

My brothers initiation into kappa sigma is completed in two parts. The first is the ceremony of the initiatory through which you were conducted, the
second is an illustrated explanation of the initiatory and other fraternal secrets called the explanatory lecture. You have been conducted on a
symbolic journey to the university of Bologna. The city of bologna in the 15th century was a walled city, 12 gates permitted access into the city and
to the university...
