This year's Parents' Night dinner was a laid-back tropical paradise. Chapter awards were presented and the 2025 Pledge Class was introduced. Barefoot Nation provided live music while the silent auction offered a variety of special items to bid on. It was a colorful, fun-filled evening for Kappa Sig parents, actives and pledges.

John Martin '79 Awarded Tau Chapter's

Highest Honor

Tau Chapter alums celebrated John Martin as Kappa Sigma Tau Man of the Year on September 19.


John has had a stellar 40-plus-year career as a financial advisor. He serves as Managing Director of Investments for Raymond James and has been recognized by the Financial Times as one of the nation's top advisors.


John served as a Tau Trustee and alumnus advisor during the late 80s and early 90s, earning the Frank C. Erwin Award in recognition of his leadership. He was chosen the same year as Outstanding Alumnus Advisor, a national award presented by the Kappa Sigma Fraternity.


"John's contributions span decades," said John Kincade '79. "He's served as alum advisor, trustee, fundraiser, counselor to the directors, and all-around confidant. Professionally, John is one of the most highly respected and successful financial advisors in Texas. On top of all this, he's dangerously funny!"


The celebration was held at Warren Wildlife Gallery. He was toasted by several of his Tau brothers, who spoke of John's enduring loyalty, friendship, and generosity throughout the years. It was an evening of warm sentiments, expressed admiration, and good humor to celebrate a man who lives the Kappa Sig creed every day.
