The objectives of Kappa Alpha Psi as contained
in the fraternity Constitution are as follows:
1. To unite college men of culture,
patriotism and honor in a bond of fraternity.
2. To encourage honorable achievement in every
field of human endeavor.
3. To promote the spiritual, social,
intellectual and moral welfare of members.
4. To assist the aims and purposes of colleges
and universities.
5. To inspire service in the public interest.
From these objectives
we perceive that Kappa Alpha Psi is not just
another social fraternity. The fundamental
purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi is as envisioned
and verbalized by the founding fathers gives
this organization its unique and distinguished
aspects. They sought to "shape a group
pesonality unique in the annals of College
Greek letter organizations around the ideal of
achievement."
In early years, the concept of achievement was
mainly concerned with the improvement of
personal ststus and security, and the meeting
of the everyday demands of living. This was at
a time when the hopes of a people were dim.
Their social and economic life was warped by
the elementary grades. Baccalaureate degrees
were rarities, and graduate degrees were
almost non-existent.
This concept of
achievement has undergone enlargement over the
years, Social distance has lessened. Economic
opportunity has bettered. The striving of a
people is being increasingly rewarded. High
school graduation, craft training and college
degrees through the doctorate level are on the
uptread, although at a tempo incommensurate
with opportunities. Kappa Alpha Psi, the name
that is rooted in achievement, now assumes a
position of leadership in the acceleration of
preparedness for present and future offerings.
Whatever is done must be done well and in
accordance with the highest possible
standards.
