Brothers, it is with great sadness that I inform you that Brother John E. “Jack” Thompson joined the Chapter Celestial of Kappa Sigma Fraternity on February 26, 2012. Brother Thompson was a 1933 initiate of the Delta-Nu Chapter at the University of California Los Angeles. He was 97 years old and would have celebrated his 98th birthday in April. He was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on April 3, 1914 and died in Irvine, California.
Jack served two stints on the Supreme Executive Committee. He was Worthy Grand Scribe from 1958-1965. During his service as WGS Brother Thompson ran an office for the Fraternity in Santa Barbara, California where he recorded the pledges and initiates of the chapters, maintained chapter reporting and correspondence and kept records for alumni Brothers. He was also responsible for the circulation of the Caduceus of Kappa Sigma Fraternity during his service as WGS. Brother Thompson also served on the Grand Conclave Commission and assisted with the planning of many Kappa Sigma Grand Conclaves over the years of his membership.
