Xi Kappa Sigma was founded on September 19, 1972, at the Mindanao State University (MSU) Main Campus in Marawi City. The fraternity was established by eighteen founding forefathers, led by Prof. Enlai T. Entar, just two days before the declaration of Martial Law via Presidential Decree No. 1081.
The founders envisioned the organization as an instrument to foster better brotherhood and sisterhood between Christian and Muslim students at Mindanao State University.
