Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. is a predominantly
African-American fraternity whose fundamental purpose is achivevment. It
seeks to train its membership, particularly undergraduates, for leadership
roles in their respective communities and the attainment of a high degree
of excellence in their academic pursuits.
Early in this century, black students were actively
dissuaded from attending college. Formidable
obstacles were erected to prevent the few who enrolled from assimilating
into the cocurricular campus life. This social ostracism was characterized
at the campus of Indiana University. On January 5, 1911, Elder W. Diggs
and Byron K. Armstrong joined eight black students from the University to
form Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, which remains the only Greek letter organization
with its Alpha Chapter on the University's campus. The Founders sought a
formula that would immediately raise the sights of black collegians and
stimulate them to accomplishments higher than they might have imagined.
Fashioning achievement as its purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began uniting college
men of culture, patriotism and honor in a bond of fraternity. Chapters spread
in succession to the University of Illinois, the 
University
of Iowa, and Wilberforce University campuses. By 1919, Kappa Alpha Psi activity
had generated serious interest among black college degree holders to form
Alumni Chapters.
Annually more than 1,800 members are initiated
in Kappa Alpha Psi. Undergraduate Chapters are located on more than 354
College and University campuses and Alumni Chapters are arrayed in some
334 cities in the United 
States and
in five foreign countries. Kappa Alpha Psi's vision is to be the nation's
preeminent fraternity, comprised of a cadre of high achievers and leaders,
working to advance the social, civic, and economic well-being of their communities,
especially the African-American community. Scholarships and project funding
are provided by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and its philanthropic arm,
the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation, a 501(c)(3) corporation.
Membership is conferred by initiation only. Therefore, strict rules and regulation regarding "membership intake and the initiates' rights" have been set up to enforce our no hazing policy.
