You know, we had to celebrate the kasanovas kane-kommanding of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.. for their 114 years of service, scholarship and shoulders as prolific pretty boys of the Divine 9.
Founded in 1911 on the campus of Indiana University, this legendary organization was the first intercollegiate fraternity incorporated as a national body and remains the only Greek letter organization with its Alpha chapter on the campus of Indiana University.
Co-founders Watson Diggs and Byron Kenneth Armstrong (who previously attended Howard University) created an independent Greek-letter organization that would elevate the outlook of young black people while challenging them to higher achievements than could otherwise be imagined .
As the second oldest black Greek-letter fraternity, it has more than 125,000 members and 700 undergraduate and alumni chapters around the world.
Local chapters participate in community outreach activities, including feeding the homeless, providing scholarships to young people enrolling in 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 funds for St. Jude Medical Research Center to help fight childhood illnesses.
Internationally, members have answered the call to service by proudly serving our military and raising funds to help those in need following natural disasters around the world.
