Membership is a solemn commitment. To this Fraternity, the maker of the commitment becomes synonymous with the commitment itself. Membership in Kappa Alpha Psi is a lifelong dedication to the ideas and lofty purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi, which considers for membership only those aspirants whose personal, social and academic qualifications are acceptable to both the College and Fraternity.

Expectations concerning maturity and dedication are made upon new members and established members alike.
Maturity is more than simply reaching a certain age. Maturity to us means acceptance of reality, the ability to sacrifice and set goals, consideration of others, incisive judgment, emotional balance, development of social skills, intellectual competence, and moral rectitude. We expect our members to be mature.
 

Dedication means putting those characteristics of maturity into a lifelong program of action to advance the goals and purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi. We expect our members to be dedicated.

But do not let personal goals supersede those of the Fraternity. A person who feels he would do the Fraternity a favor by joining is not worthy of membership. No one who holds himself superior to the Brotherhood of Kappa Alpha Psi is worthy of this distinction.
 

*Please Note: Kappa Alpha Psi is not interested in the simple accumulation of members and chapters. Its emphasis, however, is in the quality and integrity of its membership.

 

Intake Process Undergraduate students who wish to affiliate with a chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi must meet specific membership qualifications.  These standards include academic Achievement (at least a 2.5 GPA is recommended), community service and good character.  Students who are on disciplinary probation may not participate in an intake process.  Such requirements are designed to promote the building of strong and effective chapters.  To learn more about Kappa Alpha Psi, interested students are encouraged to research individual chapter websites.     Our Mission The objectives of colleges and universities are the basic objectives of ΚАΨ.  Each chapter recognizes that its privileges and responsibilities differ in no way from those of other groups comprising the institutional community.  The ideals, purposes and procedures of Kappa Alpha Psi are never intended to be at variance with college ideals, purpose and procedures; and if in any instance there is conflict, the college is accorded precedence.  To foster good college-fraternity relationships, the Fraternity: 1.  Accepts as primary the proposition that Undergraduate Chapters integrate their plans and programs with those of college and university. 2.  Recognizes that the first college objective is to provide for the intellectual and cultural development of students, hence encourages its undergraduate members to maintain an atmosphere conducive to substantial, if not superior, intellectual ACHIEVEMENT. 3.  Strives to measure up to the ideals of Fraternity in providing leadership training, character development, and social and emotional maturity. 4.  Encourages the promotion of such cultural and recreational programs as will complement and supplement those of the college for broadening and strengthening the mental and physical powers of members.
