Quick answer
If you're a Kappa Sigma brother or alumni looking for a definitive piece of fraternity history, the limited-edition 'Second to None' book is a meaningful collectible that documents the fraternity's 150-year journey.
What makes this book special?
Published in 2019 for Kappa Sigma's 150th anniversary, 'Second to None - Kappa Sigma's Historic Journey' is a limited edition that captures the fraternity's founding, growth, and traditions. It's not a general fraternity history—it's a deep dive into Kappa Sigma specifically, making it a unique piece of memorabilia for initiated members.
Because it's a limited edition, availability may be restricted. If you find a copy, it's worth considering whether you want it as a reference or as a display piece.
Trade-offs to consider
The book is a hardcover history volume, not a quick read or a lightweight paperback. If you're looking for a casual coffee table book, its dense content and formal presentation may feel more like a reference work.
As a commemorative item, it carries sentimental value for brothers but may not appeal to non-members or casual readers. Its value is tied to Kappa Sigma affiliation.
How to decide if this book is right for you
- Are you a current brother or alumni?: If yes, the book's detailed history and anniversary significance make it a meaningful addition to your collection. If no, the content may feel too niche.
- Do you want a display piece or a reference?: The hardcover format and limited-edition status make it suitable for display on a shelf or desk. If you need a portable reference, consider a digital alternative.
- Is the price within your budget?: At a catalog price of $28.80 (compared to $45.00), it offers good value for a limited-edition hardcover. If you're on a tight budget, weigh the collectible value against other Kappa Sigma merchandise. Check current stock before purchasing, as limited editions sell out.
