You
know
we
had
to
celebrate
the

kane-kommanding
kasanovas
of

Kappa
Alpha
Psi
Fraternity,
Inc.
for
their
113
years
of
service,
scholarship,
and
shoulder-shimmies
as
the
prolific
pretty
boys
of
the
Divine
9.

Founded
in
1911
on
the
campus
of
Indiana
University,
the
storied
organization
was
the
first
intercollegiate
Fraternity
incorporated
as
a
national
body
and
remains
the
only
Greek
letter
organization
with
its
Alpha
Chapter
on
Indiana
University’s
campus.

Co-Founders

Elder
Watson
Diggs
and

Byron
Kenneth
Armstrong
(who
previously
attended
Howard
University)
established
the
independent
Greek-letter
organization
that
would
raise
the
sights
of
Black
youths
while
stimulating
them
to
accomplishments
higher
than
might
otherwise
be
imagined.

As
the
second
oldest
Black
Greek
Letter
Fraternity,
it’s
amassed
over
125,000
members
with
700
undergraduate
and
alumni
chapters
across
the
world.

Local
chapters
participate
in
community
outreach
activities
including
feeding
the
homeless,
providing
scholarships
to
young
people
matriculating
to
college,
serving
as
mentors
to
young
men,
hosting
public
health
awareness
seminars,
and
various
other
initiatives.

Nationally,
Kappa
Alpha
Psi
hosts
summer
enrichment
camps
while
raising
money
for
St.
Jude
Medical
Research
Center
to
assist
in
the
fight
against
childhood
diseases.

Internationally,
members
have
answered
the
call
to
service
by
proudly
serving
our
military
and
raising
funds
to
assist
those
in
need
following
natural
disasters
around
the
world.

Notable
members
include

Ralph
Abernathy,

Wilt
Chamberlin,
