Membership
Information
Provided By Kappa Alpha Psi
National Website
Membership is a solemn
commitment. To this Fraternity,
the maker of the commitment
becomes synonymous with the
commitment itself. Membership
in Kappa Alpha Psi is a lifelong
dedication to the ideas and
lofty purposes of Kappa Alpha
Psi, which considers for membership
only those aspirants whose personal,
social and academic qualifications
are acceptable to both the College
and Fraternity.
Expectations concerning
maturity and dedication are
made upon new members and established
members alike.
Maturity is more than
simply reaching a certain age.
Maturity to us means acceptance
of reality, the ability to sacrifice
and set goals, consideration
of others, incisive judgment,
emotional balance, development
of social skills, intellectual
competence, and moral rectitude.
We expect our members to be
mature.
Dedication means putting
those characteristics of maturity
into a lifelong program of action
to advance the goals and purposes
of Kappa Alpha Psi. We expect
our members to be dedicated.
But do not let personal
goals supersede those of the
Fraternity. A person who feels
he would do the Fraternity a
favor by joining is not worthy
of membership. No one who holds
himself superior to the Brotherhood
of Kappa Alpha Psi is worthy
of this distinction.
Kappa Alpha Psi is
not interested in the simple
accumulation of members and
chapters. Its emphasis, however,
is in the quality and integrity
of its membership. Membership
quality manifests itself through
an intangible element of brotherhood
we call "that Good Old
Kappa Spirit."
Acceptable qualities
of Kappa Alpha Psi members include:
The disposition to
live in close companionship
with men of similar values.
The wisdom to abide by the will
of the majority without sacrificing
individuality.
The discretion to refrain from
destructive criticism while
seeking to remove the causes
of such criticism.
The acceptance of responsibility
for any effort that moves the
group forward.
The desire to strive for, and
ultimately achieve, excellence
in everything you do.
The commitment to train for
leadership.
The resolution to give lifelong
financial support and commitment
to the maintenance and development
of the Fraternity's programs
and purposes.
