Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated was founded on the campus of Indiana University on January 5, 1911. The Fraternity is predominantly African-American whose fundamental purpose is achievement. Kappa Alpha Psi seeks to train its membership, particularly undergraduates, for leadership roles in their perspective communities & the attainment of a high degree of excellence in their academic pursuits.

Early in this century, African-American students were actively dissuaded from attending college. Formidable obstacles were erected to prevent the few who were enrolled from assimilating into co-curricular campus life. This ostracism characterized Indiana University in 1911, thus causing Elder Watson Diggs, Ezra Dee Alexander, Bryon K. Armstrong, Henry T. Asher, Marcus P. Blakemore, Paul W. Caine, George W.Edmonds, Guy L. Grant, Edwin G. Irvin & John Milton Lee to form Kappa Alpha Psi, which remains the only Greek letter organization with its Alpha Chapter on the University's campus. The founders sought a formula that would immediately raise the sights of black collegians stimulating them to reach accomplishments higher than they imagined. With achievement as its purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began uniting college me of culture patriotism & honor in a bond of fraternity. Subsequently, chapters spread in succession to the University of Illinois, the University of Iowa, & Wilberforce University. 85 years of Achievement of Kappa Alpha Psi
