Membership

A lifelong dedication to achievement and brotherhood.

Membership in Kappa Alpha Psi is a solemn, lifelong commitment to the ideals of the Fraternity.

What it means

Membership is a solemn commitment.

Kappa Alpha Psi considers for membership only those aspirants whose personal, social, and academic qualifications are acceptable to both the College and Fraternity.

Our emphasis is not on the accumulation of members, but on the quality and integrity of our membership, an intangible element of brotherhood we call "that Good Old Kappa Spirit."

Acceptable qualities
  • The disposition to live in close companionship with men of similar values
  • The wisdom to abide by the will of the majority without sacrificing individuality
  • The discretion to refrain from destructive criticism while seeking to remove its causes
  • The acceptance of responsibility for any effort that moves the group forward
  • The desire to strive for, and ultimately achieve, excellence in everything you do
  • The commitment to train for leadership
  • The resolution to give lifelong support to the Fraternity's programs and purposes
