History.
Kappa Psi Kappa was founded by five men in Tallahassee, FL on the campus of Florida State University. They were known as the "Illustrious Elite". In the summer of 2001, these men set out and started to organize the foundation of the fraternity based upon promoting brotherhood, scholarship, service and leadership. The fraternity was incorporated under the Articles of Corporation in the State of Florida on October 3, 2001.
Membership.
Membership into the Kappa Psi Kappa Brotherhood is open to any man over the age of 18 who has obtained his high school diploma or GED. Current enrollment in an institute of higher learning is not a requirement for membership.
Because Kappa Psi Kappa is a Service-Social organization, community service is not only a requirement to maintain active status membership within the Fraternity, it is also a requirement to apply for membership.
Kappa Psi Kappa has intake classes twice per year, in the spring, and fall. Once a Pledge has successfully completed the Membership Intake class or Line and meets all required prerequisites for membership, full membership into the Brotherhood is conferred.
Kappa Psi Kappa has implemented a strict ban on hazing activities.
Chapters and Colonies.
Kappa Psi Kappa chapters are assigned a sequential Greek letter designation according to the order in which they were chartered. The oldest is the Alpha Chapter, located in Tallahassee, FL. Subsequent chapters were assigned successive letters of the Greek alphabet. After all single-letter designations were used, chapters were assigned double-letter combinations in the fashion "Alpha Alpha," "Alpha Beta," "Alpha Gamma," etc. The designation "Alpha Omega Kappa" is reserved as a symbolic "Chapter Eternal" for all Eternal Diamonds, members who have died.
Kappa Psi Kappa chapters and colonies are metropolitan based, serving the cities in which the Charter member lives and then extending for a two-hour radius.
