The Objectives of Kappa Alpha Psi
To unite college men of culture, patriotism and
honor in a bond of Fraternity.
To encourage honorable achievement in every field of human endeavor.
To promote, the spiritual, social, intellectual and moral welfare of
members.
To assist the aims and purposes of colleges and universities.
To inspire to service in the public interest.
From these objectives we perceive that Kappa
Alpha Psi is not just another social fraternity. The fundamental purpose of
Kappa Alpha Psi as envisioned and verbalized by the founding fathers gives this
organization its unique and distinguished aspects. They sought to "shape a group
personality unique in the annals of College Greek letter organizations around
the ideal of achievement."
In early years, the concept of ACHIEVEMENT was mainly concerned with the
improvement of personal status and security, and the meeting of the everyday
demands of living. This was at a time when the hopes of a people were dim. Their
social and economic life was warped by the elementary grades. Baccalaureate
degrees were rarities, and graduate degrees were almost non-existent.
This concept of achievement has undergone enlargement over the years.
Social disease has lessened. Economic opportunity has bettered. The striving of
a people is being increasingly rewarded. High school graduation, craft training
and college degrees through the doctorate level are on the uptrend, although at
a tempo incommensurate with opportunities. Kappa Alpha Psi, the name that is
rooted in achievement, now assumes a position of leadership in the acceleration
of preparedness for present and future offerings. Whatever is done must be done
well and in accordance with the highest possible standards.
