How to Become a Kappa Alpha Psi
Kappa Alpha Psi is a Greek-letter college fraternity for men. While membership is primarily African-American, the fraternity does not restrict membership based on race, color, religion or ethnicity. Chapters of the fraternity do have certain expectations of members, as the organization prides itself on sponsoring programs, which benefit others. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is just one of the many fundraising causes to which the fraternity contributes. Kappa Alpha Psi men must meet specific requirements for becoming a member.
