Kappa Alpha Psi History
The story of Kappa Alpha
Psi is to a large extent the story of black students everywhere, whether organized or not, who attended predominantly white
colleges or universities in America prior to World War II. The accomplishments of these first Black students is all the more
noteworthy because typically they worked their way through college. Their determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable
social and economic odds is the source of inspiration to less than full privileged students at white institutions of higher
learning throughout America. To understand this is to understand the birth of college fraternities among Blacks.
The ten illustrious founders
gave birth to a great concept, the idea that if we are going to be brothers, let us be brothers on the best terms that we
know. If we are going to bind ourselves together, let it be around something that is strong enough to hold us; if we are going
to sing, let us sing about something that will have a lasting refrain; if we drink a toast, let it be of something beyond
the trivial and the vulgar; let us exalt the theme of achievement. Reliance would be placed
upon high Christian ideals and the purpose of honorable achievement in every field of human endeavor. The Fraternity would
seek to raise the sights of young black youths and stimulate them to accomplishments higher than might otherwise not be realized
or even imagined.
KAPPA ALPHA PSI, a college Fraternity, now comprised of functioning Undergraduate
and Alumni Chapters on major campuses and in cities throughout the country, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful
realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founder
ELDER WATSON DIGGS, "THE DREAMER"; It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910 - 11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now enjoyed by, college men everywhere, regardless of their color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which KAPPA ALPHA PSI is justly proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of KAPPA ALPHA PSI is predicated upon, and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity. Chartered and incorporated originally under the laws of the State of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Nu on May 15, 1911, the name was changed to KAPPA ALPHA PSI on a resolution offered and adopted at the Grand Chapter in December 1914. This change became effective April 15, 1915, on a proclamation by the then Grand Polemarch, Elder Watson Diggs. Thus, the name acquired a distinctive Greek letter symbol and KAPPA ALPHA PSI thereby became a Greek letter Fraternity in every sense of the designation. |
