The Supreme Executive Committee is excited to announce Titan of the Horse Racing World Brother D. Wayne Lukas (Beta-Epsilon, University of Wisconsin-Madison, ’55) has been selected as 2024 Man of the Year. Lukas is recognized not only for his groundbreaking contributions to the sport but also for his unwavering passion, innovation in training methods, and success over decades of competition. He is the 91st member of Kappa Sigma to receive this distinguished honor, which is presented annually in recognition of extraordinary professional success and societal impact.

Brother Lukas was initiated into the Beta-Epsilon Chapter at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on November 17, 1955. Initially, he pursued a career in education, earning a Master’s degree and coaching as an Assistant for the University of Wisconsin-Madison and high school basketball. However, his true passion led him to the racetrack, and in 1968, he began his training career with quarter horses.

Brother D. Wayne Lukas’ journey from a small Wisconsin farm to the pinnacle of horse racing is a testament to dedication and excellence. Lukas has had tremendous Triple Crown success, securing four Kentucky Derby wins, seven Preakness Stakes victories, including the 2024 Preakness, and four Belmont Stakes titles. Nicknamed “The Coach,” Lukas has had a number of protégés and a legacy of mentoring and inspiring others, and he continues to be an icon in the sport. He also set records with 20 Breeders’ Cup wins and was the Eclipse Award winner for Outstanding Trainer in 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1994. Lukas was also the first trainer to surpass $100 million and then $200 million in career purse earnings. Inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1999, Lukas became the first person inducted into the Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse Halls of Fame in 2007. Through 2024, Lukas has won 4,934 races (No. 9 all-time) with purse earnings of $292,948,606 (No. 6 all-time). In May 2024, Lukas became the oldest trainer at 88 to win a Triple Crown race when Seize the Grey won the Preakness. 

We will announce the details for the Man of the Year Banquet to honor Brother Lukas shortly on the Fraternity’s website at www.kappasigma.org.

    This past Friday, May 3rd, Kappa Sigma Fraternity honored our 90th Man of the Year, Brother Craig D. Melvin (Alpha-Nu, Wofford College, ’98)! We were pleased to celebrate with Alpha-Nu undergraduates, alumni from across North America, Brother Melvin’s family, and members of the Wofford College faculty, including President Dr. Nayef Samhat.

    Check out this clip of Brother Melvin discussing the evening from the 3rd Hour of the Today Show on May 6th.

    The event was held at the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium on the campus of Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Chairman of the Endowment Fund Thomas P. Bishop, Esq. (Alpha-Beta, Mercer University, ’79), and all five members of the Supreme Executive Committee were in attendance. The program was led by Executive Director Emeritus Mitchell B. Wilson (Beta-Nu, University of Kentucky, ’78).

    We are very thankful to Alpha-Nu Alumnus Advisor Brother David Pittman, Ph.D. (Alpha-Nu, Wofford College, ’91), Dr. Blanding Jones (Alpha-Nu, Wofford College, ’89), and the Chapter leaders at Alpha-Nu for their assistance in making this a special and unforgettable evening.

    The Star and Crescent is coming to the Crescent City! Over 1800 Brothers will descend on New Orleans this summer to celebrate this year’s successes: from a record-breaking Stephen Alonzo Jackson Weekend of Giving to a record-breaking Military Heroes Month and An Expansion Like No Other, restoring historic campuses and establishing new ones.

    Leadership Conference is our premiere event for officer training, networking, and unveiling our newest programs and initiatives. This year, we have some fantastic surprises in store.

    Ensure your Chapter has selected its delegates; contact the EC for a Delegate Code if you still need to. Each Chapter receives: 1 Room (Shared with other Chapter Delegates) and 4 Delegate Registration Codes. 

    Undergraduate Brothers can also register without the delegate code for $150 and book your hotel separately. Additionally, if you would like to gain Kappa Sigma/Events experience, Kappa Sigma is looking for a team of conference interns to help implement this event onsite.

     

    So visit the historic city of New Orleans, from the haunted locations of the French Quarter to beignets at Cafe Du Monde. Enjoy Bourbon Street (But skip the second hurricane) and the amazing food in the cajun and creole kitchens.

    This year, we have created the option for an Alumnus to sponsor an undergraduate Brother so he can attend the Leadership Conference in New Orleans. For $1,000, you will cover the cost of registration, travel, and lodging for one undergraduate Brother of your choice. This program aims to ensure that any undergraduate Brother who wishes to attend the Leadership Conference has the opportunity to do so.

    The Supreme Executive Committee is excited to announce that Emmy Award-winning television anchor Brother Craig D. Melvin (Alpha-Nu, Wofford College, ‘98) has been selected as Kappa Sigma’s 2023 Man of the Year. He is the 90th member of Kappa Sigma to receive this distinguished honor, which is presented annually in recognition of extraordinary professional success and societal impact.

    Prior to his current role as news anchor on NBC News’ TODAY, co-host of the 3rd Hour of TODAY, and a host of syndicated “Dateline NBC” broadcasts, Melvin spent more than a decade as a correspondent and show host for NBC and MSNBC, covering breaking news, human interest and political stories, including Election Night Coverage, the Rio Olympics, the George Zimmerman Trial, and Republican and Democratic Conventions.

     “Brother Melvin sets a wonderful example for the undergraduate Brothers of Kappa Sigma,” said Worthy Grand Master Burt Trembly, “Through his achievements, they are inspired to follow their passions and are reminded that, with diligence and hard work, they too can reach the pinnacle of their profession. He exemplifies the values of our organization and brings honor to himself, his family, and all of us as members of Kappa Sigma.”

    Melvin is a 1998 initiate of the Alpha-Nu Chapter of Kappa Sigma at Wofford College, where he was an undergraduate officer and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2001. 

     In 2019, his inspirational video about his membership in Kappa Sigma was a highlight of the organization’s 150th-anniversary celebration and 72nd Biennial Grand Conclave.

    He is the author of a memoir called Pops: Learning to Be a Son and a Father, which explores his relationship with his dad and his own experience as a parent. In 2021, the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a national non-profit charitable organization, announced Melvin’s appointment to its Board of Directors.

    We will announce the details for the Man of the Year Banquet to honor Brother Melvin shortly on the Fraternity’s website at www.kappasigma.org.
