Achievement In Every Field Of Human Endeavor
Kappa Alpha Psi is a fraternity that emphasizes
personal achievement. This is evident as our founders accomplished feats
no AfricanAmericans had accomplished at the time. Of our ten founders there
was three doctors, a dentist, a military leader, an educator with a school
named in his honor, and several entrepreneurs. To this day, the members still
achieve in every field of human endeavors. This is evident as 12% of Ebony
magazines "100 Most Influential Black Americans" are members of the Kappa
Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc
