Sophomore Luke Munz is one man short of bringing Kappa Sigma fraternity back to campus.
He said he's looking for men who are hardworking and gentleman-like, who will "open doors for ladies and do things right."
"We're here to do community service and make Ball State a better place," he said.
Munz said the chapter began at Ball State University in 2001, but there wasn't a big following for it at the time.
In order to be recognized as a fraternity on campus, the group needs 25 members. This also allows them to be recognized by the Intrafraternity Council and participate in certain events around campus.
"There's a buffer to get over before we're certified," he said.
Even though they need to meet the quota by Friday, Munz said he and the other founding fathers are not looking for men to join simply to boost their numbers. Rather he would like to see men come out whose character and work ethic match that of the group.
He said many of the recruited members are architecture majors, but anyone is welcome to join.
Freshman Nick Freidline, Munz's roommate and fellow architecture major, said he's interested in joining the fraternity because it offers benefits of brotherhood and networking.
"The main goal is to get the first 25 members," he said. "And then we'll work on getting 50 to become a colony. We want to make the trip to headquarters and show them we did it. We want to be well-respected on campus."
Kappa Sigma was founded at the University of Virginia in 1869 and was first established at Ball State in 2001. Its principles are fellowship, scholarship, leadership and service.
Famous Kappa Sigma members:
- Jerry Jones, owner of the Cowboys
- Jimmy Buffett
- Robert Redford
- Bob Dole
- Edwin Hubble
