Since January 5th, 1911 the brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi have continued to build upon a rich history of leadership, academic excellence and brotherhood. The fraternity was founded at Indiana University Bloomington by 10 African American men who believed in community and solidarity. The Kappa motto is “Achievement in every field of human endeavor” and their members prove this to be true everyday. Find out who’s a Kappa man and why we love them!
