Kappa Kappa Psi

Kappa Kappa Psi is a fraternal organization that promotes the advancement of college and university bands through dedicated service and support to bands; comprehensive education; leadership opportunities; and recognition; for the benefit of its members and society. Kappa Kappa Psi operates primarily as a student service and leadership recognition society whose chief aim is to assist the Director of Bands in developing the leadership and enthusiasm that is required of his/her band.

Members of the Kappa Kappa Psi brotherhood enjoy many service activities that are both rewarding and educational. Membership in Kappa Kappa Psi enriches a student's life and gives the student an appreciation for the best in music and what it takes to achieve it. The Zeta Lambda chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi strives for the highest in every endeavor. Marshall University students who would like to be a part of our organization and want learn more about Kappa Kappa Psi are invited to visit Zeta Lambda's website.
