Achievement In Every Field Of Human Endeavor

Kappa Alpha Psi is a fraternity that emphasizes personal achievement. This is evident as our founders accomplished feats no AfricanAmericans had accomplished at the time. Of our ten founders there was three doctors, a dentist, a military leader, an educator with a school named in his honor, and several entrepreneurs. To this day, the members still achieve in every field of human endeavors. This is evident as 12% of Ebony magazines "100 Most Influential Black Americans" are members of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc
