 Kappa Sigma: Epsilon-Iota   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In 1400, at the University of Bologna, Manuel Chrysoloras and his disciples formed a society for mutual protection against physical attack and robbery by the unscrupulous governor of the city of Bologna, Baldassarre Cossa.
Tradition holds that Cossa practiced extortion and robbery against the students, that he levied fees upon foreign students, and that Cossa's agents preyed on those students when given the opportunity.
After Cossa finally left Bologna to usurp the Papacy under the name John XXIII, Kappa Sigma still flourished at the University of Bologna, and later spread to many European universities - effectively becoming one of the world's first fraternities.

Baldassare Cossa, (about 1370 – November 22, 1419), also known as John XXIII,was Pope or antipope during the Western Schism (1410–1415) and is now officially regarded by the Catholic Church as an antipope.
The origins of the North American student fraternity Kappa Sigma stem from Cossa's governorship of Bologna, where his campaign of assault and robbery against the students of the University of Bologna led to the formation of a secret organization under the teacher Manuel Chrysoloras for mutual protection against Cossa's robbers.
Cossa, as he was again, was briefly imprisoned in Germany before being freed by Martin V in 1418.

 Antipapa Giovanni XXIII - Wikipedia
Apparteneva alla famiglia dei Cossa, signori di Procida e Ischia, legata alla dinastia angioina.
Il finanziamento del concilio di Pisa avvenne tramite i beni dello stesso Cossa e con un aiuto da parte del Comune di Firenze e di Luigi II d'Angiò, che aveva nel Cossa un importante alleato contro il suo rivale Ladislao d’Angiò Durazzo.
Fu così che il Cossa poté recarsi a Firenze, dove arrivò il 23 giugno 1419 e, vestito come un dottore di legge, si presentò davanti a Martino V riconoscendolo legittimo pontefice.

In point of fact, however, that name was taken less than a century later than the death of John XXII by Baldassarre Cossa upon his election to the papacy as John XXIII on May 17, 1410.
Infamous for his unscrupulousness and his ambition, Cossa was forced by the Council of Constance to abdicate on May 29, 1415, and he and Benedict were declared Anti-Popes.
After a three year imprisonment in the Palatine, with his old enemy the Elector Ludwig III as his jailer, Cossa returned to Italy, where he threw himself on the mercy of Pope Martin V. He died as the Cardinal-Bishop of Tusculum on December 22, 1419.

Kappa Sigma's legendary founding draws on historical events that occurred in the city of Bologna, Italy, in 1400 A.D. Manuel Chrysoloras, a Greek emissary teaching at the University of Bologna, formed with some of his students a society to protect one another against the unscrupulous governor of the city, a former pirate named Baldassarre Cossa.
Cossa was infamous for sending robbers to attack and steal from foreigners — in this case, non-city residents.
These students bore weapons for protection and devised secret signs, words, and forms to protect their ranks from infiltration.
