Membership is a solemn commitment. To this
Fraternity, the maker of the commitment becomes synonymous
with the commitment itself. Membership in Kappa Alpha Psi
is a lifelong dedication to the ideas and lofty purposes
of Kappa Alpha Psi, which considers for membership only
those aspirants whose personal, social and academic qualifications
are acceptable to both the College and Fraternity.
Expectations concerning maturity and dedication are made
upon new members and established members alike.
Maturity is more than simply reaching a certain
age. Maturity to us means acceptance of reality, the ability
to sacrifice and set goals, consideration of others, incisive
judgment, emotional balance, development of social skills,
intellectual competence, and moral rectitude. We expect
our members to be mature.
Dedication means putting those characteristics
of maturity into a lifelong program of action to advance
the goals and purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi. We expect our
members to be dedicated.
But do not let personal goals supersede those of the
Fraternity. A person who feels he would do the Fraternity
a favor by joining is not worthy of membership. No one
who holds himself superior to the Brotherhood of Kappa
Alpha Psi is worthy of this distinction.
Kappa Alpha Psi is not interested
in the simple accumulation of members and chapters. Its
emphasis, however, is in the quality and integrity of
its membership. Membership quality manifests itself through
an intangible element of brotherhood we call "that Good
Old Kappa Spirit."
