PREFACE Realizing that the orientation of a Kappa to new and wonderful things about the Fraternity is an ongoing experience, the material contained in this manual is intended to prepare our newly initiated members for this lifelong adventure.

Newly initiated members should seriously apply themselves to the task of learning during this orientation period. It has been the purpose of the editor to include only the most significant and essential materials here; therefore, it is conceivable that some information which may be of special interest to particular chapters is omitted. The appendices (Unit X) are not to be overlooked. These have been devised as ready references for both the general and specific knowledge of the newly initiated member. Finally, we would suggest that in order to make the most efficient use of this volume you should do the following; (1) Skim each Unit before careful study. This procedure may insure an understanding of the scope and significance of the unit; (2) Read carefully and memorize the information, being sure that the terms and ideas are understood; (3) Ask yourself questions about the subject matter discussed so as to fix the essential facts in your memory. It has been psychologically demonstrated that the testing of one's self during reading is a far more efficient way to master the material than is the more passive and continuous manner of reading. To insure the mastery and understanding of the material, written quizzes will be required. All information included in this manual is essential. Each chapter is required to see that the information is not abridged nor that any of it is omitted. It is our fond hope that each newly initiated member, no matter into which Chapter he is included, will learn a standard and uniform body of information about Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. * * * The present volume has evolved in part from materials which were included in earlier publications relating to the history and traditions of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. These sources - The Handbook published in 1928 and 1936; The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal, The Scroller Manual, and the more recent and comprehensive Handbook (1952) - have been drawn upon and much of the material "lifted" without so much as a "by-your-leave" of the respective editors.

Credit here is given to these sources, editors, and publishers and a frank admission is made of the present editor's dependence upon them. It should be understood, however, that this publication is not merely a result of combining the mass of materials found in the aforementioned works. Rather, it includes additions and extensions which reflect the change in operational structure and procedures of a progressive organization. The latest update of the manual is designed to provide the most recent information on those who contributed to, and participated in the growth of the Fraternity. It should be used as a guide and constant source of reference on Kappa Alpha Psi's tradition, history and philosophy. Grateful acknowledgment, for their unselfish cooperation in the editing of this manual is made to past Grand Polemarchs Richard Millspaugh and the late C. Roger Wilson; the late Dr. John N. Williams, Philadelphia Alumni; James A. Jones, New York Alumni; Dr. G. James Fleming, Baltimore Alumni; Executive Secretaries: H. H. Holloway, Earl A. Morris, and A. F. Moultrie; Assistant Executive Secretary, Webb Hallman; Dr. Ralph Bryson, Montgomery Alumni; Executive Secretary, Dr. W. T. Smith, International Headquarters, Council of Province Polemarchs, Membership Intake Committee, Sam Hamilton, Calvin Heard, Terry Lee and the editor of the first edition without whom this project could not have been completed so successfully in 1966, the late I. W. E. Taylor. INTRODUCTION To New Members of Kappa Alpha Psi: Membership is a solemn commitment. To this Fraternity, the maker of the commitment becomes synonymous with the commitment itself. Your commitment 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 College and Fraternity. Acceptable qualities of Kappa Alpha Psi members include: • The disposition to live in close companionship with men of similar values. • The wisdom to abide by the will of the majority without sacrificing individuality. • The discretion to refrain from destructive criticism while seeking to remove the causes of such criticism.

• The acceptance of responsibility for any effort that moves the group forward. • The desire to strive for, and ultimately achieve, excellence in everything you do. • The commitment to train for leadership. • The resolution to give lifelong financial support and commitment to the maintenance and development of the Fraternity's programs and purposes. We would like to impress upon you at the beginning of your membership that 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. We recognize that many young men entering college are limited in experiences and unschooled in the complexities of group dynamics. Therefore, one of the primary membership goals of Kappa Alpha Psi is to prepare members for cooperative group living and a lifetime of dedication to the Fraternity. Kappa Alpha Psi hopes that its members will come to understand how the socializing influences of the group will contribute to personal advancement and achievement in all endeavors. 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." That Good Old Kappa Spirit is not bestowed by any external entity. It cannot be bought, sold, bartered, borrowed or stolen. It comes from within and the

only way to keep it is to give it away. It comes from a personal love of Fraternity, loyalty to purpose and ideals, the acceptance of responsibility and interest in the welfare of others. That Good Old Kappa Spirit is constructive, not destructive; dynamic, not static; active, not passive. We can sing until we are hoarse, snake dance until lame, or toast until intoxicated, but not one of these can take the place of a vital sense of belonging. It is in this sense that Kappa Alpha Psi extends to you a warm welcome into the Brotherhood. We trust that the Challenges you find in this Bond will be springboards to achievement and will serve to heighten your aspirations. We hope your membership will always be a credit to both you and Kappa Alpha Psi. AMERICAN COLLEGE FRATERNITIES FRATERNITY DEFINED: Derived from the Old Dutch sea words ''Fellow Shippers," meaning men of destination and purpose, Fraternity is defined variously. Essentially, it is a brotherhood, characterized by ritual, idealism, sociality, and altruism. Ritual is a system of rites and ceremonies. Idealism is the representation and fulfillment of Fraternity conceptions in their highest perfection. Sociality is companionship with others. Altruism is unselfish concern for the welfare of others, made manifest in the readiness of "Fellow Shippers" to promote group interest over personal advantage. Fraternities are distinguishable from mere club organizations by ritual, purpose, and membership requirements; including attendance at college, minimum scholarship achievement, and extensiveness of membership; and identification with institutions of higher learning. In proportion, as we lose sight of that identification, we diverge from our real purpose and become club-like in meaning and function. Neither brotherhood nor ritual is emphasized by social clubs. Both are characterized by a quality of spirit and dedication that is the life principle of continuing and meaningful fraternity. The loss of either is a loss in vitality and function. The aim of college and fraternity is to provide the climate within which students may acquire a sound moral, intellectual and social basis for effective

living. Kappa Alpha Psi seeks to implement this aim by exerting beneficial influence upon the attitudes of members; providing leadership training; assisting choice of careers curricula, encouraging ACHIEVEMENT; fostering sociality; and inculcating principles of democratic living. For its effectiveness, Fraternity depends upon an altruistic and dedicated membership, neither of which can result from an atmosphere of dishonor, distrust, disloyalty, disobedience or discontentment. In proportion as participation revolves about personal self, we accomplish little for self and less for the Fraternity. To the extent that it revolved about the ideals and purposes of college, community and Fraternity, we regard personal self less and less as the central figure, and thereby insure the constructive aspects of organization. HONOR SOCIETIES: An Honor Society is an association of primarily collegiate members and chapters whose purposes are to encourage and recognize superior scholarship and/or leadership achievement either in broad fields of education or in departmental fields at either the undergraduate or graduate level. It elects persons to membership irrespective of membership in or affiliation with other organizations. It confers membership solely on the basis of character and specified eligibility. One of the better known honor societies is Phi Beta Kappa, founded in 1776. PROFESSIONAL FRATERNITIES: A Professional Fraternity is a specialized fraternity which limits its student membership to a specific field of professional education in accredited colleges and universities offering courses leading to recognized degrees therein. Such an organization maintains mutually exclusive membership in that field, but it may initiate members of the social college fraternities. It organizes its group life specifically to promote professional competence and achievement within the field. Some professional fraternities include both men and women in their membership. SOCIAL FRATERNITIES: Men's social college Fraternities are mutually exclusive, self-perpetuating groups which organize the social life of their members in accredited colleges and universities as a contributing factor to their educational program. They draw their membership primarily from the undergraduate body of the

institution. The name generally given to corresponding women's organizations of this type is sorority. GREEK COUNCILS NATIONAL INTERFRATERNITY CONFERENCE: The most widely known Greek Council is perhaps the National Inter-Fraternity Conference, initiated in 1909 by President W. H. P. Faunce of Brown University. Kappa Alpha Psi was admitted as a member of the National Inter-Fraternity Conference in 1982. NATIONAL PAN-HELLENIC CONFERENCE: The National Pan-Hellenic Conference membership is open to women's college fraternities which meet the qualifications specified in its by-laws. The Conference began its history at a meeting in Chicago in 1902. NATIONAL PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL: The National Pan-Hellenic Council was organized and incorporated in 1929 with four fraternities and sororities as members. Its purpose is to consider questions and problems of mutual interest and to make such recommendations as seem desirable. Local Councils may be organized by any three or more local chapters of members organizations. An annual convention is held, and during the interim the routine work of the Council is carried on by the officers and Regional Director.

UNIT I ORIENTATION PROGRAM OBJECTIVES  The Objectives of the Orientation Program  The Chapter's Responsibility To You  Privileges and Entitlements  Your Relationship to the Fraternity During the Orientation Process  Your Obligation to the Fraternity I. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ORIENTATION PROGRAM Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. strives to obtain for its members all the benefits which can accrue from membership in an up-to-date, first rate college Fraternity. Through the benefits derived from contacts with Brothers in the Bond, the Fraternity aims to make college life fruitful and happy and the long span of years after college rich in memories of college days. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. is a mutually-selective brotherhood of gentlemen, and all care is exercised in seeing to it that only those men duly qualified academically and morally are permitted membership. Before being admitted into the Fraternity, a candidate is screened in a various number of ways before he is voted upon by the membership. At that point, you are initiated into the Fraternity. With the issuance of this manual, you are about to embark into a journey through the Member Orientation Program. You are required to attend and successfully pass this program to receive your certification as a full-fledged member of the ''Noble Klan.'' The objectives of the program are specifically, 1. To indoctrinate and instruct you, the new Initiate, in the customs, traditions, laws, history, administration, and organization of the Fraternity on all levels-the Grand Chapter, the Province and the Local Chapter. 2. To provide insight into the what, and how of formal organization and administration consistent with acceptable parliamentary procedures. 3. To develop in you the desire to insure the dynamic and progressive continuance of Kappa Alpha Psi as a first-rate Fraternity. 4. To commence the promotion of being a member of a group while retaining your own individuality.

II. THE CHAPTER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU 1. It is the Chapter's duty to see that each new member knows the purpose, history and traditions of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. after they have completed the Member Orientation Program. This will ensure that you can intelligently inform other new members and outsiders on the Fraternity, if necessary. 2. Each older member of the Chapter assumes the full obligation to do everything that can aid you, the new member, in the Member Orientation Program. 3. It should be remembered that this portion of the learning is one of the essential activities which can spirit your continued growth, strength and perpetuate the Fraternity. Therefore, the classroom setting for the Orientation should be in a manner which is tasteful, and conducive for learning. 4. The Chapter's Orientation Leader should see to it that each meeting is thoughtfully designed to insure constructive, worthwhile procedures. 5. If you are disturbed over your inability to learn, the Chapter should assign an older member to assist you. Retesting is okay. Our wish is that you gain additional knowledge of the Fraternity. 6. The Orientation Leader should be understanding of any questions that may arise. The only "dumb" question is the question which did not get asked. 7. The Chapter should commence to develop the bond of friendship and brotherhood and to instill what is known as the ''KAPPA SPIRIT." The Kappa Spirit is nothing more than ''an inward sensibility of membership, with demands upon loyalty, cooperation and responsibility that gives practical assurance to the meaningful survival of Kappa Alpha Psi." The Kappa Spirit is acquired only through a clear understanding of, and conformity to, fraternity purpose. 8. If there is a problem in terms of achieving a satisfactory level of learning, attending the class sessions, etc., the Province Polemarch of jurisdiction shall be notified immediately for his guidance in the matter. III. PRIVILEGES AND ENTITLEMENTS What is the nature of the prerogatives that accrue to men upon their initiation into and successful completion of the Orientation Program of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. ? Basic in character, they are allowed the right to wear the Fraternity badge, and to attend local, province and national meetings. Entitlement is the result of satisfying one's financial obligations; contributing to Fraternity planning and programming; voting and holding office in the Grand

Chapter, Province Councils, and local Chapters; fulfilling the Fraternity Purpose of ACHIEVEMENT; contributing significantly to the Fraternity's organized ACHIEVEMENT; assisting the purpose of colleges and universities; helping to insure the continuing growth and development of local Chapters and otherwise discharging the RESPONSIBILITIES of Fraternity membership. Having successfully completed all requirements for obtaining their certification as a member of the Fraternity, some men may withdraw almost immediately from active participation while insisting upon so-called rights to the accruements of brotherhood. Some others accept membership into Kappa Alpha Psi for purely social reasons-social in the sense of cost and recurrent festivities-they will probably cease to actively participate after the first year of belonging. Confusing ''right'' with entitlement, they insist upon the same treatment that is accorded loyal members. Offering nothing and demanding everything, these men rationalize their delinquencies, ridicule Fraternity purpose and program and deride contributing members, while belying their professed love of Kappa Alpha Psi. Their only manifestations of "love" of Fraternity is the badge they wear and their request for the help of Brothers. The primary purpose of the orientation program is to develop between the old and new members the bond of friendship and brotherhood and to instill what is known as the "KAPPA SPIRIT." The Kappa Spirit is nothing more than ''an inward sensibility of membership, with demands upon loyalty, cooperation and responsibility that gives practical assurance to the meaningful survival of Kappa Alpha Psi." The Kappa Spirit is acquired only through a clear understanding of, and conformity to, fraternity purpose. It is acquired through unswerving selfish interest to the common good through sacrificial cooperation and constructive leadership. Such a spirit, if sincerely possessed, will give substance to the maxim "Once a Kappa ALWAYS a Kappa." Let it be said here and now that brotherhood is a two way street; from the newly initiated member to the older (senior) member, and from the older member to the newly initiated. If little or nothing is transmitted, little or nothing is received. The emphasis in Kappa Alpha Psi is upon RESPONSIBILITY rather than privilege. Growth is a continuous process with each generation making its contribution. If after your orientation period, the origin, history, traditions, customs, etc. of Kappa Alpha Psi still has little meaning to you, then surely your membership will mean little to you. IV. YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE FRATERNITY DURING THE ORIENTATION PROCESS

Kappa Alpha Psi is a brotherhood and every newly initiated member has a right to expect brotherly attitudes and consideration and honorable treatment from the older members. Your relationship to the older member during the orientation process is not to be degrading to you in any manner. You may express yourself to the other members of your orientation class, your instructor or other members of the chapter. It is your right and privilege to make known wants and desires and to offer suggestions and recommendations. On the other hand, you should remember that you were just initiated and Kappa Alpha Psi is a Fraternity and this very fact obligates its members to dwell in harmony in spite of individual limitations. The proper attitude to take toward an erring brother is one of tolerance and sympathetic understanding. Condemnation and desertion are the last words in a true Fraternity man's vocabulary. Traditionally, differences are settled within the Bond, and are never carried or discussed with non-members of the Fraternity. To be a good member of the Fraternity, you should be cognizant of the fundamental purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi-which is to be blameless in unethical conduct; to display the proper attitude toward other Brothers; and to meet and discharge future assignments and obligations efficiently and promptly. V. YOUR OBLIGATION TO THE FRATERNITY During Your Orientation Program 1. You shall attend all of the orientation sessions and participate in such chapter functions and activities. 2. During your Orientation Program, you will periodically take a written examination covering the assigned materials on Fraternity history, customs, administration, etc. This examination must be passed at a satisfactory level. You will be taking four examinations during the program. 3. You should always remember that the period of your orientation is a period of review. You should make every effort to put your best foot forward and make the older members proud to have you as a member. 4. You are obligated to report any problem to the appropriate Fraternity official. At All Times

1. Each member, old or new, has as his first and paramount obligation to uphold the integrity, dignity and honor of his Fraternity at all times and in all places. 2. You shall refrain from any act or practice which is inconsistent with the Grand Chapter Constitution, Statutes or the character of the Fraternity. 3. Among the voluntary obligations undertaken by the members is the financial one. Each member shall consider this and be certain that this obligation is met. 4. Each member has a personal obligation to the Fraternity and to himself to develop his leadership potential. 5. Each member shall recognize, respect and live in harmony with all similar groups within the community. No spirit or rivalry, competition, or desire for power or advantage shall justify his violating the rights, privileges and dignity of another fraternal group. Interfraternal respect and cooperation are an imperative obligation for every member of Kappa Alpha Psi. 6. All meetings of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity are secret, unless it is approved by the body for a portion of it to be transmitted to others. If any member divulges anything to anyone not a member of this Fraternity or anything transpiring at a ceremony, such acts shall be considered prima facie grounds for reprimand or expulsion depending upon the seriousness of the case. It is important to remember that Fraternity life and affiliation are a demonstration of democratic campus and community living. Nothing can or should replace loyal cooperative and harmonious fraternal fellowship. The full significance of this must be understood by each member of the Fraternity, especially at the local Chapter level. Further, the new member must learn early that Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. is a self-governing body and that the will of the majority prevails in most instances. Once the majority has ruled, good sportsmanship and teamwork requires acceptance of the decision and cooperation of the entire group. This alone will make for a cohesive, congenial and strong Fraternity.

UNIT II KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY, ITS EARLY YEARS  Short Chronicle of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity  Vignettes of the Founders  Objectives of Kappa Alpha Psi I. A SHORT CHRONICLE OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY Kappa Alpha Psi, a college Fraternity, now comprised of functioning Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major campuses and in cities throughout the country, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founder ELDER WATSON DIGGS, "THE DREAMER"; JOHN MILTON LEE; BYRON K. ARMSTRONG; GUY LEVIS GRANT; EZRA D. ALEXANDER, HENRY T. ASHER; MARCUS P. BLAKEMORE; PAUL CAINE; EDWARD G. IRVIN and GEORGE W. EDMONDS. It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910-11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now enjoyed by, college men everywhere, regardless of their color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which Kappa Alpha Psi is justly proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of Kappa Alpha Psi is predicated upon, and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity. Chartered and incorporated originally under the laws of the State of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Nu on May 15, 1911, the name was changed to Kappa Alpha Psi on a resolution offered and adopted at the Grand Chapter in December 1914. This change became effective April 15, 1915, on a proclamation by the then Grand Polemarch, Elder Watson Diggs. Thus, the name acquired a distinctive Greek letter symbol and Kappa Alpha Psi thereby became a Greek letter Fraternity in every sense of the designation. From its inception, and for the next six years, Brother Diggs served as the Grand Polemarch of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Through his leadership and indefatigable application, augmented by the efforts of B. K. Armstrong, and John M. Lee, who comprised the remainder of the original Grand Board of Directors, the infant Fraternity was guided through the most perilous years of

its life. Accordingly, much of the credit for the organization's survival through this period is shared by these three men. From its inception, every endeavor was directed toward establishing the Fraternity upon a strong foundation before embarking on plans of expansion. By the end of the first year, working together, Diggs and Armstrong had completed the ritual and had commenced work on the coat of arms. Work on the latter was completed during the following summer by Diggs, Armstrong and Lee while they were pursuing employment at a hotel in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In selecting a suitable motto, Diggs, Armstrong and Lee solicited the aid of a Professor of Greek Art at Indiana Technical College at Fort Wayne, Indiana. Having adopted a motto which mutually suited them, they carried a sketch of the coat of arms to a commercial engraver in Fort Wayne, from which he made the first metal plate. For years, in order to safeguard the ritualistic secrets of the Fraternity, Diggs laboriously typed and bound the rituals. It was not until he moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, where he met an old German printer in whom he had confidence, that he entrusted the esoteric materials of the Fraternity to a commercial printer. In the spring of 1912 Diggs wrote in a little blue examination book the first Constitution, which was adopted in 1920 with but a few revisions. This edition remained in use until 1926 when it was supplanted by the codified edition jointly written by Diggs, J. Ernest Wilkins, and W. Ellis Stewart. In 1957 the Constitution again underwent major revision. Now substantially established and provided with a Constitution, Ritual, coat of arms, motto, and guiding hand in a dynamic Grand Chapter, the Fraternity was ready for expansion. In the summer of 1912 Diggs visited the University of Illinois at Urbana, Illinois, where he met Earl B. Dickerson, President of the Old ''Illini Club.'' This club constituted the nucleus of the University of Illinois Chapter, the Beta, which was chartered on February 8, 1913. Gamma Chapter (later changed to Indianapolis Alumni Chapter) was established on December 29, 1913, followed by the establishment of Delta Chapter at the University of Iowa, on March 7,1914. The latter was subsequently changed to Gamma Chapter, and the designation of Delta assigned to the Wilberforce University Chapter at Wilberforce, Ohio. Epsilon Chapter, Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, was established December 4, 1915, as the first chapter in the

East. Elder W. Diggs journeyed from Indiana to give this chapter his personal and official installation, recognition and blessing. Thus ended the infancy of Kappa Alpha Psi, whereupon the Fraternity embarked upon an era of expansion. Except for the years of World War I and II, when several Grand Chapter meetings were suspended, Kappa Alpha Psi has grown and prevailed with unabating impetus. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, relatively early, envisioned the modified attitudes of college administrators and administrations regarding certain frivolous activities previously identified with Greek letter organizations; and it initiated appropriate changes. Among the early changes brought about was the banning of paddling and other forms of physical abuse, and the introduction of constructive endeavors during pledgeship and probation. To date, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is organizationally and administratively mature. It moves steadily toward a tomorrow of promise, productivity and influence. II. VIGNETTES OF THE FOUNDERS ELDER WATSON DIGGS (Circa 1890-1947) Elder Watson Diggs, born in Christian County, Kentucky, was a graduate of Indiana State Normal (now Indiana State Teachers College) and Indiana University, the birthplace of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. He served as Grand Polemarch for the first six consecutive years of the Fraternity's existence. For this and other outstanding contributions to the Fraternity, he was awarded the Fraternity's first Laurel Wreath in December, 1924. An educator by profession, he taught in the public schools of Indianapolis, Indiana, where he was elevated to a principalship. After his death on November 8, 1947, the name of the school where he had taught was changed to the Elder Diggs School in his memory. Upon America's entrance into World War I, Diggs resigned his principalship to enter the Nation's first Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and was commissioned a lieutenant. After European service with the 368th Infantry, he became a captain in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Diggs was instrumental in having the Indiana Constitution amended to permit Negro enlistment in the Indiana National Guard. JOHN MILTON LEE (1890-1958)

John Milton Lee, born at Danville, Indiana, September 7, 1890, was graduated from the Danville High School in 1910 and entered the University of Indiana and there completed three years of pre-medical work. He later became a student at Temple University (1915) but was compelled to leave school because of a death in the family. He enlisted in the 349th Field Artillery in March of 1918 and served overseas as a First Class Sergeant and Gunner. His battery enjoys the unique distinction of having been the first Battery of Negro Artillerymen ever to open fire upon an enemy. John Milton Lee fired the first shot. He helped organize, and for several years was president of the Fairview Golf Club, the first Negro Golf Club in Pennsylvania. In 1931 he was married to Mary Walker Robinson. Vocationally, he was engaged in several enterprises. For eight years, he conducted a successful catering business in Philadelphia; he organized and served as Vice-President and Secretary of the Mutual Emergency Union, a mutual aid company in Philadelphia. He was also a member of the Board of Managers of the Columbia Community Branch of the Y.M.C.A. BYRON K. ARMSTRONG (1890-1980) Byron K. Armstrong, born in Westfield, Indiana, entered Indiana University where he studied philosophy, mathematics and sociology. After finishing Indiana University he earned his Master's degree at Columbia University in 19] 3, and subsequently the Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Michigan. He held teaching positions in Florida, Indiana, Kansas and Oklahoma. During World War I he served as an investigator for the Department of Labor. He was awarded the Laurel Wreath in 1935. GUY LEVIS GRANT (1891- 1973) Guy Levis Grant, born in New Albany, Indiana, attended public schools in that city and was graduated from Scribner High School in 1909, and later entered Indiana University. While there he majored in chemistry, graduating with the A.B. degree in 1915. In 1920 he received the D.D.S. degree from Indiana Dental School, then a part of the University of Indiana; and he practiced dentistry in Indianapolis. In 1929 he was married to Laura Hammons. He served as a member of the Grand Board of Directors and was the Fraternity's Historian. In addition to his activities with Kappa Alpha Psi, Brother Grant held membership in several civic, professional and business organizations. He was a member of the Second Baptist Church in Indianapolis.

EZRA DEE ALEXANDER (1892- 1971) Ezra Dee Alexander was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1892, the site of Indiana University. He was graduated from Bloomington High School in 1910. He matriculated at Indiana University in the fall of 1910 and was graduated from Indiana University in 1917 with the A.B. degree. He received his M. D. degree from the Medical School of Indiana University in 1919. He practiced medicine in Indianapolis. In 1920, he was married to Mary Hunter, a teacher in the Indianapolis Public School system. Alexander served several terms as a member of the Grand Board of Directors. HENRY T. ASHER (1892-1963) Henry T. Asher, born in Woodburn, Kentucky in 1892, was graduated from the Bloomington High School in 1910. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University in 1914 and the next year was an instructor at Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Missouri. He was a graduate student at the University of Minnesota in 1917. He received the degree of LL.B. at the Detroit College of Law in 1928. MARCUS PETER BLAKEMORE (1889-1959) Marcus Peter Blakemore, born in Franklin, Indiana in 1889, attended common and high schools in Anderson, Indiana. He was graduated from High School in 1909 and entered the University of Indiana the following year. After leaving the University he organized the Electric Engineering Company which he operated until he enlisted in World War I. He later entered the Dental School of the University of Pittsburgh, from which he was graduated in 1923. At the time of his death in October 1959, he was residing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he maintained his practice of dentistry. EDWARD GILES IRVIN (1893-1983) Edward Giles Irvin, born in Spencer, Indiana on August 13, 1893, was graduated from Kokomo, Indiana High School in 1910 and entered the University of Indiana the same year. After leaving school he pursued a Journalistic career in various cities throughout the country until World War I. Aside from his success as a Journalist, Brother Irvin was a pioneer in promoting basketball and track athletics in the small town schools of Indiana.

He was an active member of the Methodist Church of Chicago, a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges. He organized and operated the Afro- American Manufacturing Company in Chicago, which produced novelties, candies and specialties. PAUL WAYMOND CAINE (1891-1922) Paul Waymond Caine was born in Charleston, Indiana, in 1891 and attended grade school and high school in Greencastle, Indiana. He enrolled at Indiana University in 1909 and helped the other Founders in organizing Kappa Alpha Nu. Because of a disastrous fire in the Fraternity house in which he was employed, he never finished his sophomore year. Brother Caine went into the catering business in his home town, later attending Columbia University, set up a catering business in Gary, Indiana, and published a book on catering which was copyrighted in 1919 by the Hurst Publishing Company. Brother Caine was instrumental in setting up the Gamma, Delta and Zeta chapters. He later went into business in Peoria, Illinois and was fatally burned during an explosion of gaseous materials in his business in 1922. GEORGE W. EDMONDS (1890-1962) George W. Edmonds was born in Vandenburgh County, Knight Township, Indiana on August 13, 1890. He entered Carver Elementary School and Clark High School in Evansville, graduating in 1910. In the fall of 1910, George entered Indiana University at Bloomington. He joined nine other students in founding Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. After George returned home for the summer of 1911, his father became ill with pneumonia and died. His father had worked in the coal mines of Vandenburgh County for many years. George, being the oldest son, became head of the family, thus preventing his return to school. With the new responsibility of supporting the family, George took a job with the area coal mines and worked with the coal mines and the railroad until he died of pneumonia on June 13, 1962. George married the former Willa Mae Forte and settled in Stevenson, Indiana. They became the parents of one son Noel. III. THE OBJECTIVES OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI

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 to 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 as envisioned and verbalized by the founding fathers gives this organization its unique and distinguished aspects. They sought to "shape a group personality 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 status 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 uptrend, 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 standards.

UNIT III KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY ITS ORGANIZATION AND GOVERNMENT*  The Grand Chapter  Grand Chapter Officers  Grand Board of Directors  The Executive Committee  The Province Councils  Undergraduate Chapters  Alumni Chapters  Alumni Associations  International Headquarters *Constant reference to the Constitution and Statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi will be necessary for this unit. I. THE GRAND CHAPTER The Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi shall be the supreme governing power of the Fraternity with regular Sessions fixed by Statute. The general powers of the Grand Chapter shall include the power to effectuate its own government; to enact uniform laws for government of the Fraternity, to elect, qualify and define the duties and authorities of the officers of Province, Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters, and Alumni Associations; to determine the conditions of initial and continuing Fraternity membership; to issue and withdraw charters from Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters; and to perform such other duties as are specifically required by Fraternity Constitution and Statute. The members of the Grand Chapter shall be Charter members of Alpha Chapter, namely-Elder W. Diggs, Byron K. Armstrong, John M. Lee, Ezra D. Alexander, Guy L. Grant, Paul W. Caine, Henry T. Asher, Marcus P. Blakemore, Edward G. Irvin and George W. Edmonds; the duly elected national officers of the Fraternity; the Past Grand Polemarchs; the Province Polemarchs; the delegates of the Provinces and Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters. II. GRAND CHAPTER OFFICERS

The officers of the Grand Chapter are Grand Polemarch, Senior Grand Vice- Polemarch, Junior Grand Vice-Polemarch, Grand Keeper of Records and Exchequer, Grand Historian, Grand Strategus, a Grand Lieutenant Strategus, and members of the Grand Board of Directors. Grand Chapter Officers and undergraduate Grand Board members are elected at each Grand Chapter Session. The three elective alumni members of the Grand Board of Directors shall have staggered overlapping tenure. One shall be elected during a regular session of the Grand Chapter, and two shall be elected during the next regular session of the Grand Chapter. Their tenure of office shall be for a term of two years. The laws of the Fraternity are the Constitution, the Ritual, the Statutes, and such other procedural regulations as may be established by the Grand Board of Directors. III. GRAND BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Grand Board of Directors shall have the power to supervise and act upon Fraternity matters which arise between consecutive sessions of the Grand Chapter. The Grand Board of Directors shall consist of the Grand Polemarch, who shall be the Chairman; the Senior Grand Vice-Polemarch, the Junior Grand Vice- Polemarch, the Grand Keeper of Records and Exchequer, and six members elected by majority ballot of the Grand Chapter, three of whom shall be undergraduates who shall be elected at each Grand Chapter Meeting. IV. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committee consists of the Grand Polemarch, as chairman; the Senior Grand Vice-Polemarch; the Grand Keeper of Records and Exchequer; and one undergraduate member elected annually by the Grand Board of Directors from within the membership of the Grand Board of Directors. V. THE PROVINCE COUNCILS In 1921 George F. David, during his tenure as Grand Polemarch, divided the country into regions of provinces in order to facilitate the control of local chapters. The number of provinces has increased through the years from four originally to twelve.

Provinces elect all of their officers with the exception of their Polemarch. Province Polemarchs, being depended upon to perform duties in the Grand Polemarch's stead, are his agents and as such appointed by him. However, on a move, first introduced by James E. Scott during his tenure as Grand Polemarch, each province is permitted to submit the names of three members, any one of whom the province feels would make a suitable Province Polemarch, and wherever possible and feasible the Grand Polemarch will appoint one of these. Provinces are not, for the most part, legislative bodies, and are maintained principally for conference, instruction, supervision and fellowship, and mutual exchange of ideas and programs between or among the chapters of the province. Each province holds one council each year in accordance with fraternity regulations. The twelve provinces are: Eastern Northeastern Southeastern Middle Eastern Northern North Central East Central Western Middle Western Southwestern South Central Southern The Council of Province Polemarchs is composed of the Province Polemarchs and the Senior Grand Vice Polemarch, who is the chairman. His primary responsibilities are programming, coordinating, and conducting the Council, subject to the approval of the Grand Polemarch. VI. UNDERGRADUATE CHAPTERS Undergraduate Chapters of this Fraternity shall be designated by letters of Greek alphabet taken in consecutive order. They adopt by-laws for the government, regulation and control of their revenues and property. They hold all regular meetings behind closed doors at least once each month in strict accordance with the Constitution, Ritual and Statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi. VII. ALUMNI CHAPTERS

Alumni Chapters of this Fraternity shall be designated by the name of the city wherein it is located. Alumni Chapters shall hold at least one regular meeting each month. All meetings must be conducted in strict accordance with the Constitution, Ritual and Statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi. VIII. ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS Alumni Associations of this Fraternity consist of alumni members having residence over a wide geographical area within which there are no alumni chapters. Alumni Associations shall be known by such names as shall be determined and assigned by the Grand Board of Directors. Alumni Associations shall hold at least one meeting each year in strict accordance with the Constitution, Ritual and Statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi. IX. INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS The National Headquarters Office was established in January, 1952. The name was changed to International Headquarters Office in 1991. The location, organization and management of the office shall be in accordance with the Statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi. The staff of the International Headquarters office shall be an Executive Director, Assistant Executive Directors, Secretaries to the Executive Director, and such other staff as may be determined by the Grand Board of Directors. The Executive Director shall perform or supervise the performance of the day- to-day office activities of his position, and engage in such promotional duties and travel activities, particularly among active chapters, as shall be required or authorized by the Executive Committee.

UNIT IV KAPPA ALPHA PSI TRADITIONS, COURTESIES, ETIQUETTE and CUSTOMS  Traditions of Kappa Alpha Psi  Courtesies of Kappa Alpha Psi  Etiquette of Kappa Alpha Psi  Customs of Kappa Alpha Psi Kappa Alpha Psi, like most organizations, has certain traditions, courtesies and customs which form the character of the Fraternity, and these should be understood and observed at all times by members. I. TRADITIONS OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI A. BROTHERHOOD 1. True to the ideals of Fraternity, Kappa men aid one another whenever, wherever and however needed. They regard Fraternity as an experience in cooperative group living, a process of continuous socialization. This is the true explanation of " social" as applied to Kappa Alpha Psi. It is the essence of true brotherhood. 2. Brothers are welcomed into one another's home in full confidence that this privilege will not be abused. 3. Visiting Brothers are always welcome without special assessment to gratuitous locally sponsored Fraternity festivities; provided they show current cards indicating good financial status with the Grand Chapter and provided the festivity concerned does not involve a dinner. Unless their presence is as an invited guest, they should pay the dinner assessment. It is customary to deny participation to men who do not present unquestionable evidence of good financial standing with the Grand Chapter. 4. No Kappa man feels that his affiliation is as a "favor" to Kappa Alpha Psi. He regards the Fraternity as a crucible in which to test his ability for companionable living and learning. He knows that the Fraternity is bigger than he, and that he must give abundantly in order to receive the full benefits of Brotherhood. B. SELF-DISCIPLINE

1. Kappa men exercise the capacity of self-discipline. They do not require a great amount of training in proper conduct or action. They know and respect the fact that there is a time for study, and a time and place for play. In a word, representative Kappa men are men in a very real sense. 2. Kappa men are manifestly ready and willing to cooperate with any worthwhile project for the common good. While they refrain from raiding the Fraternity Exchequer or neglecting the Fraternity purpose for outside interests, however noble, they do give generously of personal time and money. 3. The discriminating Kappa man knows how, when, where and with whom to drink and not to drink. Alcoholic beverages are generally not permitted on or in the environs of college campuses. This rule is not violated. Nothing can gain for an Undergraduate Chapter such a bad reputation as the use of alcoholic beverages or other controlled substances. Alumni Brothers should use these beverages prudently. The reputation of a "drinking fraternity" is discouraged. C. INTRA-FRATERNAL RELATIONS 1. Kappa men show appropriate regard for members unskilled in rules of order. They assist rather than discourage participation, thus giving practical interpretation to achievement, the Fraternity's fundamental purpose. 2. A "dyed in the wool" Kappa man never conducts himself as a ''spoiled brat." Except for any good that might derive to the individual himself in terms of personality, Kappa Alpha Psi is no place for "spoiled brats." Men speak up as men whenever necessary, but failing to gain majority agreement they conform in practice if not in spirit with contrary views. They neither leave the ''game" in a huff, bear a grudge, nor attempt retaliation. After disagreements, they engage in sincere fellowship. This is Fraternity action. 3. No dedicated Kappa man feels that whatever is done for his chapter should have been done. He shoulders responsibility and is appreciative of cooperation. 4. No man worthy of membership in Kappa Alpha Psi asks for or expects special concessions or privileges of any description whatever. Manifestation of any less an attitude is reason for denying membership. 5. No member is ever referred to as "Mr. Kappa." The prefix "Mr." in that context is irreverent. There is but one Kappa Alpha Psi and that is the Fraternity itself. D. EXTRA-FRATERNAL RELATIONS

1. Not bound by local custom, Kappa men are cosmopolitan. They maintain the common touch, and make no special effort to cultivate persons of rank and wealth at the expense of others. They accord befitting recognition and respect to all of mankind. 2. The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity does not officially recognize either a sister organization or a ladies auxiliary of any description on a national basis. 3. The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity maintains membership in Intra- Fraternity Councils, National Panhellenic and Greek Councils wherever practicable. 4. The Grand Chapter, Provinces, Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters show continuing courtesy to the immediate families of deceased Brothers. E. ACHIEVEMENT AND LEADERSHIP 1. Achievement as the Fraternity's fundamental purpose includes the amenities of personal conduct, diligent attention to the routine demands of everyday living, and constructive organizational and personal accomplishments. It makes uniform demands upon the Grand Chapter, Province, Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters, Alumni Associations, elected and appointed officers, commissions, committees, and lay members. Kappa men are impelled to achieve in college, Fraternity and community. This attitude continues throughout life. 2. Kappa men are never satisfied with a position of ''second best." They are driven to excel by pride in self and Fraternity. 3. Kappa men provide unselfish college, community and Fraternity leadership training. (Note: Leadership Conference.) F. GENERAL FRATERNITY PRACTICES AND REGULATIONS > 1. The badge of Kappa Alpha Psi is only to be worn over the heart when attired in business or formal attire. The badge is never worn as a part of casual dress and never in any place but over the heart regardless of attire. 2. The Diamond of Kappa Alpha Psi should never be reproduced on any paraphernalia, printed material or any other item of general display. 3. The "grip" or "handshake" is never extended to any person except those known to be members of the Fraternity. 4. The only proper "recognition test" is explained in the Ritual.

5. Non-members and persons not in good standing with the Fraternity may not participate in any "closed" Fraternity activity. 6. When in doubt about the status of any individual claiming to be a member of the Fraternity, one should ask to see his credentials. If evidence of membership is not presented, the individual should be asked to leave and not return until proper evidence of membership can be presented. Physical force should not be used to remove a person in this circumstance. Suspend activities until the appropriate authorities can be called and arrive to remove this individual. A full report should be immediately filed with International Headquarters and a copy mailed to the Province Polemarch. 7. No non-member of the Fraternity is addressed as Brother. 8. The consumption of Alcoholic beverages is not encouraged by the Fraternity. Non-alcoholic beverages should be used for the "toast" at all occasions especially as a part of the Rededication Ceremony. II. COURTESIES OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI A. DEFERENCE SHOWN DIGNITARIES 1. The members stand when a Grand Polemarch makes initial entry into any formal gathering of the Fraternity, and remain standing until otherwise indicated by the Grand Polemarch himself. 2. Upon his initial entry into a formal gathering of Brothers, the Grand Polemarch is promptly ushered to the front and accorded the privileges of taking charge of the meeting, a privilege that he may accept or refuse. 3. Under no circumstances, formal or informal, does the presence of any Fraternity dignitary go without notice by the membership. Appropriate deference is shown wherever and whenever they appear. 4. No officer, including appointed officers, visits Chapters or Province Councils at the expense of the Fraternity without specific purpose in the direct interest of the Fraternity. This requires that they be programmed and given enough time to accomplish their purpose. 5. The phrase ''speech, short!" is a discourtesy to Fraternity dignitaries or other guests; hence it is never voiced when they are presented. 6. The Grand Polemarch opens the Grand Chapter Banquet with presentation of the toastmaster. After the banquet speech-the last programmed item before the Rededication Ceremony-the toastmaster turns the banquet back to the Grand Polemarch who makes a brief concluding statement and announces the Rededication Ceremony. B. SOCIAL BEHAVIOR

1. A Kappa man shows appropriate deference to the feelings, sensibilities and social well-being of ladies. He lifts his hat to accept introductions, when saying good-bye, when passing them in the street or on campus, and when in the company of a companion who in passing shows signs of acquaintance with ladies who are not known to the Kappa man. 2. A true Kappa man hesitates in polite society to call a lady by her first name unless she has given assent or indicated her readiness for that type of informality by taking the initiative. 3. Kappa men are gallant. Under appropriate circumstances, they open doors for ladies to pass. As escorts they precede their ladies when leaving conveyances and in all other situations where precedence is symbolic or with real purpose; they assist ladies to don or remove outer garments; they check the wraps of ladies and secure such wraps from check rooms at the appropriate time; they draw the chairs of ladies wherever indicated; and they rise when ladies enter a room, and remain standing until the lady is seated, show immediate intention to be seated, or leaves the room. 4. Real Kappa men are not cheap. Without splurging they pay for what they get, never lagging behind to let "George" pick up the check. Personal dignity and respect for one another demands reciprocal attitudes and actions. Kappa men are generous but not to a fault. 5. Every Kappa man is a gentleman. He is cognizant at all times and under all circumstances of the proper social graces and courtesies. He carries himself with dignity and poise. His decorum, dress, and manner are always in good taste. He is unobtrusive in speech and is never bumptious. He is self-confident, yet modest. He renders and expects respect from each Brother. He is considerate of everyone, whether they be within or without the bond. He knows that there is never a circumstance nor justification for the lack of poise, dignity, courtesy or emotional control. He, therefore, is very conscious of his social behavior. Because he realizes that his decorum, dress, manner and speech are the traits and criteria by which those who have no other knowledge of the Fraternity are prone to judge both the Fraternity and the individual. C. CORRESPONDENCE 1. Kappa men give prompt and grammatical reply to correspondence. ''Dear Brother (____________)" is the correct salutation when writing a member, "Brother" is never abbreviated, nor is it ever used on the envelope. " Yours in the Bond" is the most commonly used closing for letters.

2. Correspondence inviting someone to speak before a group contains a statement of the nature and purpose of the assembly, the composition as to sex, number anticipated, and educational background; and the date, place and hour of the occasion. A speaker's commitment to participate is reconfirmed by the correspondent early enough in advance of the appearance date to determine the time and means of arrival and to offer the assistance customarily given a guest. A thank you letter always follows a speaker's or artist's appearance. III. ETIQUETTE IN KAPPA ALPHA PSI We have suggested that gracious manners, kindness, tact and poise are the distinguishing characteristics of Kappa men. This being true, we need only to mention here, in a general way, some broad areas of etiquette which members are expected to observe in conformity with standards of good taste in the tradition of Kappa Alpha Psi. A. INTRODUCTION Before introducing anyone, you should determine quickly who is being presented to whom and mention the latter's name first. Usually, a man is introduced to a woman; a younger person to an older person. A visiting official, Alumni member or a member from another chapter is always presented to the group as soon as possible. Brother Visitor then proceeds to shake hands with those to whom he is introduced, making sure he has understood whether they are brothers or outsiders before he uses the esoteric grip. A good procedure to follow, if one is not sure, is to refrain from using the grip. "How do you do," or ''How do you do, Brother(s)," spoken acknowledgment of an introduction, is suitable for all occasions. ''Hello Brother(s) may be sufficient for most informal or ordinary circumstances. Note: In introducing a single person to a group, we may understandably forget any rules of procedures, and do it in the easiest and most natural manner by introducing the person around the group in order. The same rule may apply when introducing couples to a group. B. BANQUETS AND FORMAL DINNERS

Kappa banquets that afford opportunity for spiritual introduction, dedication, inspiration or education are formal and closed to other than the members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Under no circumstances is any segment of the uninitiated public permitted attendance, not to say ceremonial participation. Illustrative are the Grand Chapter Banquet; Province Council Banquets, initiation banquets; dedication banquets; anniversary banquets where the emphasis is upon rededication; and installation banquets. Dinners that do not follow this purpose are attended by whoever is desired. Kappa banquets, as distinguished from informal dinners, are always formal and the proper dress is dinner jackets. Exceptions can be made for undergraduates who may wear dark suits. The Polemarch of the chapter is usually in charge (toastmaster or presiding officer), unless someone else has been designated to serve in this capacity. 1. SEATING ARRANGEMENTS The honored guests and officers are seated at the ''head table," if possible. The guest of honor (principal speaker, etc.) should be seated at the Polemarch's right. If the Grand Polemarch or the Province Polemarch happens to be in attendance, it is the Chapter Polemarch who must relinquish his seat and move to the left. When place cards are used, each participant casually finds his place and unhurriedly takes his seat. It is not necessary for everyone to stand and wait to be seated together. In seating the Brothers, respect should be shown for the visiting Grand Chapter representative and province officers, unless they specifically decline such recognition. 2. THE PROGRAM After dessert, the toastmaster rises, makes either a few appropriate remarks or a short talk on the purpose of the occasion, if such is necessary. (He, or someone designated, introduces the speaker, welcomes the guests, pledge, neophytes, etc.). Following the principal speaker, if there is one, the final statements or remarks are made by the Chapter Polemarch-after which there is no further speech making. Traditionally, the Polemarch's statements come at the end of the forensic part of the program. 3. INVITATIONS The quality and format of the invitation should indicate the formal or informal nature of the function. The issuing, accepting or declining of an invitation

should be treated with the utmost care and always in conformity with the accepted standards of good taste. Formal invitations may be engraved on white paper (designed for the purpose) or suede finished cards. Also it is correct to write formal invitations by hand on Fraternity-crested note paper. Such invitations are appropriate for receptions, formal dinners, parties and other important occasion. Care should be exercised in determining the proper size, lettering and wording of formal invitations, whether printed or handwritten. Remember that the ornate and flamboyant should be avoided. Also, dispense with punctuation except where words requiring separation occur in the same line, and in certain abbreviations such as R.S.V.P. Formal invitations are occasionally sent by telegram. Acceptance and regrets are always written by hand, usually on note paper, following the formal engraved invitation. In accepting, always repeat the date and time of the occasion. In declining, it is necessary to repeat only the date, not the time. In extending invitations R.S.V.P., be sure to add an address where the reply is to be sent. 4. FORMAL INVITATIONS Formal invitations or semi-formal invitations may be extended casually by cards or telephone. These, also, may be responded to with the same degree of informality with which they were extended. 5. FORM OF ADDRESS All officers of Kappa Alpha Psi should be addressed in accordance with the title of the respective office whenever it is necessary to address or correspond with them. (Brother Grand Polemarch, Brother Province Polemarch, etc.) However, the word Brother is never to be written on the envelope. IV. CUSTOMS OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI A. DRESS A man's clothes should be correct for the occasion. He should be careful in his selection and casual in the manner in which he wears them. They should never be gaudy or attention-getting. It is possible for those who care to be appropriately dressed for all occasions even on a limited budget. This means that to be well-dressed is not synonymous with hysterical fads and fashions. A business suit of subdued color may be worn for most business and informal

occasions. Jewelry such as rings, cuff links, tie pins, no matter how costly, should never be conspicuous. The tuxedo or dinner jacket has come to replace the normal formal tails and white ties, for most formal occasions. According to Fraternity traditions, all banquets are understood to be at least dinner jacket affairs. Informal dinners, parties and the like require only a business suit of subdued color. Kappa men never violate required dress by attending formal affairs in informal attire, or appearing in out-of-season tuxedo coats. Exceptions may be made for undergraduates who may attend wearing dark suits, white shirt and subdued tie. B. SONGS 1. Kappa Alpha Psi has a variety of beautiful songs and has gained a reputation for singing them well. Songs are sung in close accord with the way in which they have been written, hence without distortion or conformity with current fads, or, in a manner to capture popular fancy. 2. The singing of the Kappa Alpha Psi Hymn is occasion for the rededication of members to Fraternity purpose and ideals, rather than frivolity, and is therefore, characterized by dignity and solemn formality. The Hymn is appropriately sung without swaying or handclasp with each individual member placing his right hand over the left and standing erect with eyes straight ahead. 3. In the interest of uniformity, at dances and balls where the circle is formed for the singing of Kappa Alpha Psi Songs, the following order is suggested: ( 1) Sweetheart Song; (2) Pin Song, (3) Kappa Alpha Psi Hymn. It should be noted that the Hymn is the last to be sung while the circle is intact. After the circle has disbanded songs like ''Give Me That Good Old Kappa Spirit" and You Must Be A Kappa Alpha Psi" may be rendered. 4. When the circle is formed at a dance or ball, the wives and sweethearts should form an inner circle in such a manner that a member's wife or sweetheart is immediately in front of him. 5. On occasions other than dances and balls, additional songs may be rendered at the discretion of the chapter. The prerogative prevails only so long as the songs rendered remain in good taste. 6. When forming the circle for the singing of Kappa songs, except for the Hymn, the right hand should be placed over the left hand at waist level. C. RECOGNITION TEST

Brothers, be reminded that the recognition test is adequately described in our Ritual. This is of course the official recognition symbol of membership. Please review a copy of the Ritual to refamiliarize yourself with such, if necessary.

UNIT V THE DYNAMICS OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI  Guide Right-The National Service Program  C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference  Fellowships and Scholarships  The Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation  Fraternity Endowments and Life Membership  Achievement  The Elder Watson Diggs Memorial  Standing Committees and Commissions I. GUIDE RIGHT - THE NATIONAL SERVICE PROGRAM Guide Right is a program for the educational and occupational guidance of youth, primarily inspirational and informational in character. Its reach extends to high schools and colleges alike. In the latter, giving due attention to the needs of undergraduate Brothers. Conceived in 1922 by Leon W. Stewart, and suggested at the twelfth Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Guide Right became the Fraternity's National Service Program. Jesse Jerome Peters, later to become the eighth Grand Polemarch, was chairman of the committee, during the administration of W. Ellis Stewart as Grand Polemarch. Guide Right is administrated by a National Director and a Guide Right Commission. The Guide Right Commission consists of the Director and twelve Province Guide Right Coordinators, one from each Province, appointed by their respective Province Polemarchs. The Director is uniquely qualified to perform the duties of this office and is appointed by the Grand Polemarch. He prepares such directives as are necessary for the successful and efficient observance of this National movement. He also edits and prepares the Manual for the universal use of Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters, and gives functional supervision to all other matters and practices relating to Guide Right. The Guide Right Manual, which is officially referred to as ''The Encyclopedia of Guide Right," is available from the International Headquarters. Each chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Undergraduate and Alumni alike, shall have a copy of the manual to refer to. The manual has an inordinate number of Guide Right projects and activities suitable for implementation by the chapters. Two of the

more exciting, creative and rewarding programs are the Kappa League, and the Student of the Year Pageant. A. THE KAPPA LEAGUE The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. sponsored Instructional Leadership League is more suitable for the Alumni Chapters to undertake. It is an organization oriented toward helping young men of high school age to grow and develop their leadership talents in every phase of human endeavor. It should be referred to hereafter as the Kappa League. It provides both challenging and rewarding experiences which richly enhance their lives. Since the fundamental purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi is ACHIEVEMENT, it is therefore, the Fraternity's primary purpose to help these young men to achieve worthy goals for themselves and to make constructive contributions to their community when leadership roles become their responsibility. The training, experience, and friendly interest of successful men is placed at the disposal of youth needing inspiration and counsel regarding their choice of a life's career, and the interest of the entire community is aroused to the problems of youth as they seek to realize lives of usefulness. There are three Kappa League Awards that are named after Brothers, who have been outstanding in their Guide Right efforts: 1. The Leon W. Stewart Award for the most outstanding individual Kappa League participant. 2. The Bert V. Wadkins Award for the most outstanding Kappa Brother, who is the Director of a Kappa League Club. 3. The Jay Crosby Award for the most outstanding Kappa League Club. The petitions are available from the International Headquarters and the awards are given in perpetuity, only in years when there are Grand Chapter Meetings. B. THE STUDENT OF THE YEAR PAGEANT There are two divisions of the Pageant. One is designed expressly for male senior high school students, and the other designed specifically for undergraduate Brothers. The high school participants are to be sponsored by the Alumni Chapters. The Undergraduate Chapters should select their most outstanding Brothers as their candidates. Competition is held at the province level, with the winners participating in the National Pageant during the Grand Chapter Meeting.

There are certain characteristics prevalent in all men destined to achieve in life. They include scholarship, talent, community involvement, poise and appearance, career preparation, and awareness. Thus, you have the six judging categories for the Pageant. The petitions are continuously updated and distributed by the Guide Right Commission. C. GUIDE RIGHT ON CAMPUS Primarily, Guide Right in the Undergraduate Chapter is concerned with methods that serve to improve scholarship, campus involvement and participation, and model chapter operation. Efforts in this interest should be continuous. In the interest of attaining these objectives, an orientation program should be planned to acquaint members with: 1. University services that are available to students, e.g., loans, scholarships, aptitude testing procedures, counseling services, etc. 2. Campus "low down" on courses-their "unwritten" requirements. 3. Facilities available for typing, manuscript preparation, and other personal services. 4. Students in various fields of study with those from whom help might be obtained, if needed. 5. Other methods which might be used to attain these ends are: a. Preceptor type tutoring for Brothers. b. Frequent contacts with faculty advisors. c. Provide "study review sessions." d. Broader participation in constructive campus activities, and Kappa Alpha Psi awards and programs specifically designed for undergraduates, including the Student of the Year Pageant. II. C. RODGER WILSON LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE The C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference of Kappa Alpha Psi is an assemblage of selected undergraduates representing the Fraternity's Undergraduate Chapters to discuss the best principles of leadership; the psychological factors involved in good leadership; the problems of leadership experienced at the Chapter level, and recommended approaches to those problems; and the "what," ''why," "how" and ''by what means" of the National Fraternity of Kappa Alpha Psi. Details of the conference are available though discussion with your Membership Intake Chairman. The Conference is conducted by a Director whose relation to the Fraternity's Grand Board of Directors is comparable with that of a public school

superintendent to a Board of Education. The faculty is composed of members in good standing with the Fraternity who can and do subordinate self in the group interest; deal effectively with young people; elicit the interested participation of undergraduates; and direct the participants toward desirable convictions. The student body is composed of the Polemarch elect of each of the Fraternity's Undergraduate Chapters. This is to insure the chapter's efficiency for the incoming school year. CURRICULUM The curriculum is formulated in terms of the Conference purpose of clarifying the principles of leadership; giving personal meaning to Fraternity; and encouraging individual and group ACHIEVEMENT in accordance with Fraternity purpose. DELINEATION OF THE CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES 1. To spotlight and develop the leadership potential of undergraduates in the personal, college, Fraternity and community interest. 2. To give continuous assurance to qualified Fraternity leadership on every administrative level. 3. To improve the operating efficiency and effectiveness of the Undergraduate Chapter. 4. To enable increased understanding of the "what," "why," ''how" and "by what means" of Fraternity. 5. To facilitate increased uniformity of interpretation and implementation of Fraternity law, tradition and songs. 6. To clarify relationships between undergraduates and alumni, and undergraduates and colleges where the Fraternity is chartered. 7. To clarify the administrative implications of leadership. III. FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS Established in 1925, primarily through the efforts of Earl B. Dickerson, Grand Polemarch, the Grand Chapter authorized the Scholarship Fund of Kappa Alpha Psi, providing grants to high school graduates who possessed the ability but lacked the resources for college entrance. Sometime later, provisions were made for "Scholarship Loans" to enable continuance in college.

In 1946, the thirty-sixth Grand Chapter enacted legislation setting up a Commission for the functional supervision of grants to encourage scientific research. In 1948, the thirty-eighth Grand Chapter designated one such grant as the J. Ernest Wilkins Fellowship, in honor of Grand Polemarch Wilkins, who for twenty-five years, until 1947, was the Fraternity's Grand Keeper of Records and Exchequer. The J. Ernest Wilkins Fellowship was a $2500 grant for post-doctoral research. It was awarded only three times before being discontinued in 1957: to Dr. Samuel L. Bullock a medical doctor of Washington, D. C., Dr. Allison B. Henderson, a medical doctor of Detroit, Michigan; and Dr. Moodie D. Taylor, holder of the Doctor of Philosophy degree in chemistry and a professorship at Howard University, all members of Kappa Alpha Psi. Dr. Taylor used the grant to write a textbook in general chemistry, published in 1959, a copy of which is now in the Fraternity archives. STUDENT REVOLVING LOAN FUND This fund was established by the Grand Board of Directors in 1973, with Howard University as the first recipient. The initial funds are generated by the local chapter with the Grand Chapter matching these generated funds up to a maximum of $500 dollars. Past Grand Polemarch, Dr. W. Henry Greene, was an instrumental force in the implementation of this program. At the time of Brother Greene's death in 1983 the fund had grown to more than 109 campuses throughout the country. To each of these Brother Greene bequeathed an additional $ 100.00. All full-time students, who have a need for emergency funds, are eligible for the loan. The loan is administered by the college or university. IV. THE KAPPA ALPHA PSI FOUNDATION The Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation is a non-profit tax-exempt organization. The Foundation is a totally separate entity from Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. In 1992, Past Grand Polemarch, Brother Randall C. Bacon, was appointed President. The Foundation's office is located in the International Headquarters building. As stated in it's bylaws (Article II-Purpose): The purpose of this Corporation is exclusively charitable, religious, scientific, literary and educational. More specifically the purpose of this Corporation is to

engage in community rehabilitation and maintenance in all aspects including the community buildings, its services to its people so as to help produce a better quality of life for all through education, redevelopment and training. The Corporation will provide to young persons, academically oriented services such as tutoring, leadership training, career exposure, and financial assistance to schools of higher learning in the forms of loans and grants. The Corporation will also assist the community, the aged and social service organizations by providing financing for homes for the elderly, and for the physical redevelopment of housing stock. V. FRATERNITY ENDOWMENTS AND LIFE MEMBERSHIP In 1957, the Fraternity set up the Constitutional provisions for five endowment funds, to wit: The Chapter Endowment Fund in the continuing interest of such active chapters is designated by donors; the Chapter House Endowment Fund for the purchase, repair, or refinancing of Undergraduate Chapter houses; the Scholarship and Fellowship Endowment Fund for financial aid to deserving students; the Publications Endowment Fund to finance Fraternity publications; and, The General Endowment Fund to further the Fraternity purposes prescribed by Statute. Life Membership in Kappa Alpha Psi absolves the holder from the future payment of Grand Chapter dues and is available at a variable cost and under conditions described in Fraternity Statute entitled Life Membership. VI. ACHIEVEMENT ACHIEVEMENT was conceived by the Fraternity's founding fathers as a good and continuing reason for our organization's being. Its early emphasis was upon the improvement of personal behavior, and meeting the routine demands of everyday living. ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS "ACHIEVEMENT is its own best reward." Kappa Alpha Psi simply acknowledges it within the membership. At the local level achievement is best expressed in the first rate performance of the undergraduate in matters of high scholarship and constructive campus activity. At the national level, the Fraternity confers a number of awards. THE LAUREL WREATH AWARD

The Laurel Wreath, consisting of the Fraternity's coat-of-arms enwreathed in Laurel leaves, symbolic of the wreaths used by ancient Greeks to crown the victors in various contests and a certificate of merit, is awarded for extra- meritorious ACHIEVEMENT, national or international in scope or effect, as described under Fraternity Statute.

THE DIGGS CONCEPT OF FRATERNITY Elder Watson Diggs dedicated his life to the ideals of his beloved Kappa Alpha Psi. He saw Fraternity as an instrument for assisting the intellectual, moral and social development of undergraduate youth.

Succeeding at this, Diggs reasoned Kappa Alpha Psi would endear itself to parents, students, faculty and alumni alike, and thereby give practical assurance to progressive continuance. Failing at this, he averred Kappa Alpha Psi would belie its Purpose of ACHIEVEMENT, be a detriment to college and university, be denied the respect of parents and students, and fail to challenge the sustained participation of alumni. Diggs believed, and rightly, that the Fraternity's justification must be deeply rooted in aims inherently characteristic of college Greek letter organizations. He feared, and again rightly, that failure to communicate this ideal of service to youth effectively and impressively would result in failure to give the fraternal personal meaning to its membership, and suffer great loss in alumni participation. Residual participants would be as members of a social club with all of the accompanying frivolities. B. THE MEMORIAL During the second decade of the Fraternity's existence, Elder Watson Diggs issued a challenge to Kappa Alpha Psi to initiate the procurement of undergraduate houses with a house for our first Chapter, the Chapter of our Founding Fathers. Based upon practicality, Elder Watson Diggs had the foresight to issue this challenge as the primary means for ACHIEVING the aims reflected in his own conception, and later, the conceptions of the National Interfraternity Conference. After the death of Elder Watson Diggs in 1947, the Grand Chapter seized upon the idea of a home for our first chapter as a way to honor his memory with a monument of brick and stone. That monument was constructed on Fraternity Row of the Indiana University Campus for dedication during the Fraternity's Golden Anniversary celebration in August of 1961. The Memorial: 1. Commemorates the founding of Kappa Alpha Psi. 2. Keeps alive the memory of our Founders. 3. Gives substance to ''That Good Old Kappa Spirit." 4. Raises Fraternity prestige, particularly in college and university circles. 5. Provides a basic means for implementing the aims of Elder Watson Diggs and therefore the aims of Kappa Alpha Psi. 6. Places the Fraternity in a better competitive position among college fraternities, thereby giving added assurance to survival. 7. Gives impetus to national, racial and religious integration within college Greek letter organizations.

8. Provides an available site and facilities for the Fraternity's yearly Undergraduate Leadership Conference. 9. Provides needed student housing and library facilities for our first chapter. 10. Affords undergraduate experience on Chapter house administration. 11. Initiates the construction of creditable Undergraduate Chapter housing throughout Kappa Alpha Psi. 12. Influences constructive change in the thinking of members as to the aims and techniques of college Greek letter organizations. 13. Gives practical interpretation to the Fraternity's purpose of Achievement. 14. Provides an added facility for programming inter-cultural relations among diverse national, racial and religious groups on the Indiana campus. 15. Motivates college attendance as an effective means for participating in our democratic society. VIII. STANDING COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS A.

UNIT VI FRATERNITY RELATIONSHIPS  With the College or University  With the Family  With the Community I. WITH COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY The objectives of college or university are and must continued to be the basic objectives of Kappa Alpha Psi. Each Chapter recognizes that its privileges and RESPONSIBILITIES DIFFER in no way from those of other groups comprising the institutional community. The ideals, purposes and procedures of Kappa Alpha Psi are never intended to be at variance with college ideals, purpose and procedures; and if in any instance there is conflict, the college is accorded precedence. To foster good college-fraternity relationships, the Fraternity: 1. Accepts as primary the proposition that Undergraduate Chapters integrate their plans and programs with those of college and university. 2. Recognizes that the first college objective is to provide for the intellectual and cultural development of students, hence encourages its undergraduate members to maintain an atmosphere conducive to substantial, if not superior, intellectual ACHIEVEMENT. 3. Strives to measure up to the ideals of Fraternity in providing leadership training, character development, and social and emotional maturity. 4. Encourages the promotion of such cultural and recreational programs as will complement and supplement those of the college for broadening and strengthening the mental and physical powers of members. HOW TO INSURE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS As a means of effectual relationships with the college or university, the Undergraduate Chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi should: 1. Familiarize themselves with college regulations and the regulations of recognized Greek Councils. 2. Periodically engage in related conferences with key administrative personnel of the college or university. 3. Consult with Province Polemarchs, Chapter Advisors, the Executive Director, the Chairman of the Publicity and Publications Committee and

the Grand Polemarch for advice, comments and suggestions on programs and procedures. 4. Prepare by-lays and establish minimum performance standards, consistent with college and Fraternity law, for personal and group government. 5. Take appropriate and immediate disciplinary actions for infractions of Fraternity or college regulations. 6. Maintain first rate living and study conditions. 7. Consult with Fraternity members or the college staff whenever the need is indicated for the interpretation of college or Fraternity regulations. 8. Give prompt reply to college and Fraternity correspondence. II. WITH THE FAMILY Kappa Alpha Psi is sincerely desirous of knowing the immediate families of undergraduate members. It is highly important that mothers and fathers, at the very least, gain early perception of the purpose and programs of the Fraternity, and the interrelationships between their sons and Kappa Alpha Psi. Undergraduate Chapters, therefore, should hasten to establish contact with parents following the commitment of their sons to Kappa Alpha Psi. Contact should be initiated with a letter briefly describing the Fraternity purpose, and giving assurance of interest in the welfare of the Membership Orientation participant. Wherever practical, the letter is followed up with a sit-down discussion aimed at establishing rapport and continuing goodwill. III. WITH THE COMMUNITY It is the public relations policy of Kappa Alpha Psi: 1. To maintain loyalty to the Government of the United States of America, and the purposes of college and university. 2. To refrain from group commitment of participation in partisan government politics. a. To refrain from programming speakers in the Party interest. b. To insure that persons scheduled to speak to or under the sponsorship of the Fraternity avoid partisan presentations. c. To prohibit members from electioneering for public candidates at Fraternity sponsored gatherings or on Fraternity premises. d. To refrain from any form of group endorsement of candidates for public office.

e. To prohibit the use of Fraternity stationery for partisan political correspondence. 3. To sponsor or support programs to acquaint Brothers or other segments of the public with vital public issues; provided that where such issues are political, opposing views are equally aired and the public is informed of the Fraternity's neutral position.

XV. THE CONFIDENTIAL BULLETIN This bulletin is issued periodically from the International Headquarters Office. The Confidential Bulletin is esoteric, containing as it does information that is not published in the Kappa Alpha Psi Journal for general information. XVI. THE KAPPA ALPHA PSI JOURNAL The Kappa Alpha Nu Journal (the original name of the Fraternity Journal) first appeared in April of 1914, upon authorization by the Third Grand Chapter in December 1913. Initially, the then existing chapters, namely, the Alpha, the Beta, the Gamma (then at Indianapolis), and the Delta (then at Iowa State University) were assigned the responsibility of taking successive turns in publishing the various issues of what was intended to be a quarterly publication. Accordingly, in fulfilling its assignment for getting out the first issue of sixteen pages, the Alpha Chapter employed the services of Brother Frank M. Summers as Editor-in-Chief, with Brothers S. H. Duvalle, W. J. Prince and the Reverend H. L. Herod as associate editors. Fulfillment of a quarterly publication was not immediate, for the second issue did not appear until May, 1915 by Brother George C. Ellis. This was a twenty

page issue, composed of advertisements, pictures, membership rosters and sundry items of interest. Inasmuch as the name of the Fraternity was changed it appeared as the Kappa Alpha Psi Journal. Brother A. A. Keene headed the editorial staff for the Gamma Chapter's publication of the third issue which appeared in May 1916. Published with twenty-four pages, it was an elaboration of the previous issues, augmented by erudite writings most notably among which was that by Grand Polemarch Elder Watson Diggs, entitled " Some Aims and Purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi" in which he outlined the fundamentals of Fraternity as he saw them. The Delta Chapter was responsible for the fourth issue, and chose Brother L. S. Buford as Editor-in-Chief. As did the third issue, it contained twenty-four pages and included, for the first time, a directory of chapters and members. World War I and the general national unrest contributed to deferring publication of the next issue, the fifth, until May, 1920, with Brother Diggs as Editor-in-Chief. Known as "The War Issue," it contained thirty-two pages and carried, in addition to the usual contents of the Journal, a pictorial story of members in service camps, together with a reprint of President Wilson's reply to a letter written by Diggs in 1917 when he was still Grand Polemarch, in which he pledged the support of Kappa Alpha Psi in the country's struggle. It also carried a complete history of the Fraternity. Respective business managers for the first five issues of the Journal were Brothers Diggs, W. J. Prince, Milton F. Fields, N. A. Delphia and Edgar G. Brown. Inspired by the "Kappa Alpha Psi Bulletin," a publication of the Indianapolis Alumni Chapter and edited by Brother Lionel F. Artis, the Tenth Grand Chapter, meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, authorized a renaissance of The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal, and created a Journal Committee to do the job. George F. David, Grand Polemarch at the time, appointed Brother Artis as Editor-in-Chief and vested him with the power of selecting his own staff and developing the project as he saw fit. With the aid of Brothers A. H. Maloney, Irven Armstrong and Diggs, Brother Artis produced most of the features of the earlier Journals, and added to these poetry and some articles of general interest on arts, sciences, literature, social movements, and the like. Brother Artis served continuously in this capacity, with Brother Diggs as his Business Manager, until 1938 when Grand Polemarch Theophilus M. Mann named Brother G. James Fleming as Editor-in-Chief. The latter, during his

twelve years of service, gave an exemplary performance. He produced journals totaling 1,924 pages and containing 1,607 pictures. He saw the circulation more than triple itself and the form of The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal for which he is responsible, has been widely adapted by other Greek letter organizations. It was with "deep reluctance" that his retirement was accepted by Grand Polemarch J. Ernest Wilkins, at the Thirty-Ninth Grand Chapter. Dr. William L. Crump succeeded Dr. Fleming and served as editor for 24 years retiring in 1975. Earl S. Clanton, III was selected Editor-in-Chief and served until 1985, when Jonathan P. Hicks was appointed to the position. Jonathan P. Hicks served as editor from 1988 until 1989 when he resigned to devote full time to writing a novel. A. Van Jordan was appointed to succeed Brother Hicks and served until 1990 when Mel Davis was appointed editor of the Journal. XVII.

I. THE COAT OF ARMS AND FRATERNITY COLORS Heraldry, the science of recording genealogies, enjoyed its greatest popularity in the days when coats of arms and family crests were the vogue. The language, peculiar only to it, made possible accurate descriptions of the designs, and told the engraver how to represent these colors in black and white. Today most national college fraternities have their own coats of arms or crests.

The coat of arms of Kappa Alpha Psi, heraldic description of which appears below, is fully protected by United States copyright and design patent. All dealers and manufacturers are enjoined from using or reproducing the coat of arms unless they shall have obtained a special license or proper authority from the Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. The purchase of unauthorized articles is not only a violation of the copyright and of our contract with the official jeweler, but it is also a direct violation of the Fraternity laws. Punishment for this violation can include suspension from the Fraternity. ARMS: party per gale gules, tenne, and or; on pales a scroll vertical, argent, bearing inscription PHI NU PI, of the first, between clasped hands of brotherhood, proper, and tilting spear held bentwise, sinister, of the fourth; on a chief, of the last, a laurel wreath beneath three estoiles, proper, and above the Greek work for achievement of the first. Translated in part, this description depicts the colors on the three vertical divisions (pales) as being red (gules), tawny-colored (teens), and gold (Or). They are respectively represented by the engraver as: vertical lines; vertical lines criss-crossed by diagonal lines, right to left; and dots uniformly distributed in the field. Argent denotes a silver or plain color while proper denotes a natural color. The above-named colors are not to be confused with the official colors of the Fraternity, which are crimson and cream. The official colors appear on all regalia of the Fraternity. Cognizance of these specifications should be taken by all chapters and members ordering or preparing Kappa Alpha Psi paraphernalia. II.

The badge of the Fraternity shall be restricted to its use as a badge. Neither the badge nor any facsimile thereof shall be used on programs, articles of wear, stationery, jewelry, announcements, invitations, etc. provided, that the Executive Committee may authorize the production or use of such badge in connection with special awards to members by the Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi; and further that the coat of arms shall be used for such purposes as may be objectionable for use of the badge. THE RECOGNITION PIN The Recognition Pin should be worn in the coat lapel, and although intended primarily for the use of the alumni, it is not restricted to them. THE SWEETHEART PIN The Sweetheart Pin may be worn by sweethearts, wives, and mothers of members. It may be used as a bond of engagement. THE FOUNDERS' BADGE The Fortieth Grand Chapter adopted a resolution whereby a special Founders' Badge was authorized. Only living Founders of the Fraternity were permitted to receive and wear this special piece of jewelry. PROVINCE POLEMARCH'S BADGE This badge is worn by Province Polemarchs, past and current. It was first introduced in September 1988 by Ullysses McBride our 26th Grand Polemarch. THE GRAND POLEMARCH'S BADGE The Polemarch's badge is worn only by the incumbent Grand Polemarch. THE PAST GRAND POLEMARCH'S BADGE

UNIT IX AIDS TO STUDY  Study Techniques  Study Questions STUDY TECHNIQUES College life usually presents the student his first opportunity to exercise rather complete direction over his own life. In the college environment the student may choose abode and his associates and friends. He may further determine the manner of spending his spare time, the religious practices he will or will not observe, and the moral or ethical codes he will follow. In at least one respect this opportunity for individual choice is fortunate, for it enables the student to make and abide by his choice which, in a way, contributes to his emotional development and mental maturity. On the other hand, he is faced with certain temptations. He may choose to study or not study; he may diligently attend classes or he may cut them. There is little or no institutional supervision over his study practices or the use of his leisure time. Soon lack of systematic preparation to meet course demands, lack of direction, and lack of proper study habits, together with high academic requirements, may completely overwhelm him because he has no adequate or rational plan of action. In no area of college life is the demand to choose and persevere more compelling and necessary to the student's success than in the area of developing effective study techniques. The very nature of the aims and purposes of the college or university being what they are-intellectual factual information, and the achievement of value goals consistent with reflective or critical thinking- demand that the student spend the lion's share of his time in study. Hence, effective study habits, together with an understanding of motives and incentives for study, become basic and essential. MOTIVES FOR STUDY As the student progresses in his college work, he soon faces the necessity for increasing his efficiency and study techniques. Before one can improve his study habits, however, he must possess "the will to learn." Herein lies his motive or drive for academic accomplishments. A partial list of some of the motives for improving his performance would include the following:

A. Satisfaction in Mastery - Herein lies the desire to perform an act well, whether it be in subject mastery, athletic prowess, or other pursuits. It should be clear that such satisfaction can only be derived from an intelligent understanding of the literature in the field and/or in recognizing or being able to use the terminology of the subject field. These together will constitute for the student his cultural background and his appreciation of the subject. B. Desire for Recognition and Honors - Here the pleasures that accrue from achieving high grades, the election to scholarship fraternities, and other honors which result from the achievement of high academic recognition serve as incentives to further mental productivity. C. Parental Pleasure or Happiness - Such rewards as high grades, honors and similar types of recognition, bring satisfaction to parents as well as the student, and provide the parents some degree of compensation for the sacrifices which are often necessary to providing educational advantages to the young. D. Professional Success - Academic achievement-grades, honors, and the like is usually thought of an indicative of future success in professional schools, business schools or in life: and indicative of success, and monetary returns and profits. This means that motivation as well as ability are essential factors in determining academic success. BASIC STUDY TECHNIQUES 1. Note Taking A. Prepare for the lecture before attending classes - Try to anticipate the lecturer's presentation by making an outline of the subject before attending class. This many mean the difference between the clear comprehension of the subject and a vague or hazy notion of it. Preparation for class lectures of discussions orientates a student and make him alert to recognize and understand the new materials which may be introduced. The review of previous lectures and a preview of subsequent sections of the textbook will provide a unified perspective of the course rather than a segmented and partial view. B. Outline lecture notes - Find the main topic of each day's lecture or reading material. Arrange subtopics systematically under the main topics. This will enable you to visualize and comprehend the essential items of several pages of the text. As in taking notes, the student must learn to grasp and condense the idea of the lecturer by omitting unessential words by employing abbreviations and by putting in key- reminder words and phrases for illustrative material. An outline enables

the student to emphasize important main topics and relate them to appropriate subtopics. In listening or during the reading sessions, the student is ever on the alert for cues, for headings, subheadings and the numbering of coordinate points. Such cues are often discovered in the lecturer's tone of voice, or in a phrase, or by the page lettering, italics, bold type, etc. C. Develop an inquiring attitude - Here the student must develop an active inquiring attitude toward what is written or stated. This may be accomplished by ( 1) anticipating the material to come, (2) relating the recent topics to foregoing subjects, and (3) asking questions of the instructor or fellow students. D. Take significant and accurate notes - This suggests that one's notes should contain meaningful statements which may be understood upon future reference. A good plan is to leave plenty of space between statements, indent for subtopics, and to allow space for later underlining and supplementation if necessary. E. Review notes often - Psychologists have found that forgetting is a rapid process and it occurs in greatest amount immediately after learning. Forgetting may be counteracted by frequent subsequent reviews. In all that we have said about note taking, it is to be remembered that notes are only a means to an end-they are aids to retention. Frequent reviews of notes and materials are essential for retention and learning. II. Taking Examinations An examination is nothing more or less than a measure of the student's mastery of the subject matter. If one has faithfully employed the suggestions mentioned, in the acquisition of the materials to be grasped, the passing of examinations will be relatively easy. Here follow, then, a few brief suggestions for the taking of examinations: A. Begin preparing for the final examination at the very beginning of the course. B. Use every study period and every opportunity to prepare for examinations. Frequent self-quizzes prior to class quizzes, strenuous reviews, and complete summarizations of the essence of the course all increase the chances for a successful examination. It may be helpful to find out, before the examination is given, whether it will contain short, long, essay or objective questions. C. Avoid cramming sessions. A good extensive review and self quiz the night before the examination should consummate and fixate the effects of previous study. During the examination period relax, work rapidly and

recheck. Note instructional words such as "describe," and "criticize," "list," "contrast," etc. Always remember that quantity does not compensate for the lack of quality. It is wise to apportion one's time not nervously, but deliberately, and answer first, those questions about which need rechecking answers for clarity or expression and factual accuracy. In objective tests, it is important that instructions be clearly understood and followed. III. References There are several excellent texts on the subject of study techniques, the use of the library, reading skills, etc., which are available to all colleges and universities. We suggest that these be consulted if the student feels a need for a more complete discussion of his study problem. STUDY QUESTIONS 1. The fundamental purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi is? 2.

GREEK ALPHABET and ENGLISH EQUIVALENT Individual chapters of the Greek letter college fraternity are appropriately designated by Greek letter symbols. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the properly enlightened "Greek" to be able to recognize and identify not only chapters in his own fraternity but the designation and chapters of other Greek letter organizations as well. Moreover, he will find the mastery of the Greek alphabet of use in his acquiring a broad comprehensive knowledge of the various fields of human endeavor, many of which employ Greek letter symbols. To assist him in his edification, the Greek alphabet, together with the spelling of its letters, and their English analogues, appear below.

II. BOOK OF PROVERBS-THIRD CHAPTER, VERSES 1-20

Kappa men everywhere recognize the existence of the Supreme Being. They recognize, too, that through Him all things come to pass; and they follow the teachings of Him and those endowed by Him. Of particular interest and inspiration to the noble members of Kappa Alpha Psi is the divine wisdom and counsel of Solomon, which is so sententiously and poetically depicted in the Third Chapter of the Book of Proverbs, the first twenty verses of which appear below. 1. My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart. 4. So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all the ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. 7. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. 8. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 9. Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase. 10. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 11. My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of His correction. 12. For whom the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15. She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16. Length of days in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. 19. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding that He established the heavens. 20. By His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

III. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE The most effective way of handling group business in an orderly and efficient manner is to follow parliamentary procedure, that is, to conduct meetings according to a set of established rules. A detailed explanation of the whole set of parliamentary rules would fill a book. For this discussion, only the basic rules and the ones most generally useful will be given. A. ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. The meeting is called to order by the Polemarch. 2. Roll is taken if there is any doubt of a quorum. 3. The minutes of the previous meeting are read by the Keeper of Records. a. They may be approved as read. b. They may be approved with additions or corrections. 4. The report of the Keeper of Exchequer is given for approval. 5. Reports from standing committees. 6. Reports from special committees. 7. Unfinished business is considered. 8. New business is taken up. 9. Program - the Polemarch turns the meeting over to the program committee. 10. Adjournment. RECORDS Accurate records of what happens during meetings are kept by the Keeper of Records. These records, called minutes, should include the name of the chapter, the time, date, and place of the meeting; the name of the presiding officer; brief summaries of committee reports; the motion made, the names of those who made them, and the results of the vote; a brief outline of the program; the time of adjournment; and the signature of the Keeper of Records. After the Keeper of Records reads the minutes of the preceding meeting, the Polemarch asks if there are any corrections or additions. If there are none, he says, ''The minutes stand approved as read." If a member suggests a correction, it is discussed and voted on. Then the Polemarch says, "The minutes stand approved as corrected." The Keeper of Exchequer, like the Keeper of Records, is responsible for keeping accurate records. At every meeting he makes a report of all monies received and all money paid out by the chapter.

DOING BUSINESS: MOTIONS Whatever a chapter does as an organized group is done by means of motions. Any member who wants the chapter to consider some matter of business has the right to bring it up. He ''gets the floor'' by rising and saying ''Brother Polemarch" or ''Brother Chairman." The Polemarch ''recognizes'' the member by calling his name or by giving some sign. Then the member states his motion: ''I move that the chapter pay the expenses of sending two delegates to the Province meeting next month." A motion of this kind is called a main motion. A main motion must be ''seconded" - or supported - by another member, or the chapter cannot consider it. The seconder does not have to stand or be recognized. He simply says, ''I second the motion." The Polemarch repeats the motion. It has been moved and seconded that the chapter stands the expenses of sending two delegates to the Province Meeting next month. Is there any discussion? After the discussion - called the ''debate" - the Polemarch repeats the motion and calls for a vote: ''All those in favor say "Aye." All those opposed say "No." Then he announces the result: the motion is carried or lost. A main motion needs a majority vote. An oral vote is usually take but if the vote is close, the Polemarch may call for a rising vote or a show of hands. Or any member can call for a more exact vote by saying without being recognized, ''Brother Polemarch, I call for a division." Then the Polemarch asks the members to rise or to raise their hands. He must count both the votes for and those against, even when the result is clear after the first group votes. He then announces the count: "the vote is 20 for and 5 against; the motion is carried.'' To keep the members of a chapter from jumping from one matter to another before the first one is settled, only one main motion can be before the group at one time. However, there are other kinds of motions that can be made-even when there is a main motion-to help the chapter carry on its business efficiently. The most useful of these are explained here. Motion to Amend. Any main motion before the group may be amended by dropping, or adding, or substituting words. The member who suggests the change puts it in the form of a motion: "I move the motion be amended by changing the words two delegates

to three delegates." After being seconded, the amendment is discussed and voted on. If it is carried, the main motion as amended is put to a vote. Motion of Order. Suppose that the Polemarch has asked for a discussion on the motion "that the chapter sponsor a raffle to raise money for the scholarship fund." A member is recognized, but instead of discussing the motion, he says, "I move that we assess each brother three dollars to raise money for the scholarship fund." His motion is "out of order," and the Polemarch may tell him so. Or the matter can be handled in this way: Another Member (without being recognized): Brother Polemarch, I raise to a point of order. (This is a motion of order.) Polemarch: State your point of order. Member : The motion just made is out of order, since there already is a main motion before the house. Polemarch: Your point is well taken. The motion to assess each brother three dollars is out of order. Is there any discussion on the motion to sponsor a raffle? Motions to Refer to a Committee. Any member who feels that a main motion should not be voted on until more information is available may postpone the vote in this way: Member : Before we vote on whether or not to sponsor a raffle, I think we should find out more about the expense involved and how much money we could expect to raise. I move that we refer the question to a committee appointed by the Polemarch to investigate the matter. If this motion is seconded and carried, the vote on the main motion is postponed until after the committee's report at the next meeting. Motions to Postpone to a Certain Time. The vote on a main motion may be postponed until a stated time, to give the whole group a chance for further thought on the question: Member : I move that we postpone consideration of the motion to have a picnic until the next meeting.

Such a motion must be seconded and passed by a majority vote. Motions to Lay on the Table. Action on a main motion may be postponed indefinitely: Member The time is short and there are still several important matters to settle before we adjourn. I move that we lay on the table the motion to invite guests to our Christmas party. A motion to lay on the table needs a second, but it is not debatable. It must be put to a vote immediately. Motions to Take from the Table. Any time during a meeting or before the end of the next regular meeting a main motion that has been laid on the table can be brought up again. Member : I move that we take from the table the motion to invite guests to our Christmas party. The motion to take from the table must be seconded, but it is not debatable. If it gets a majority vote, the Polemarch calls for a discussion and vote on the motion to invite guests. Motions to Object to Consideration. Any member who feels that a main motion is pointless and a waste of time can try to prevent a vote on the motion. But he must speak up before the discussion on the motion begins: Member (without being recognized): Brother Polemarch, I object to the consideration of this motion. His objection needs no second, and it cannot be debated. The Polemarch puts it to a vote immediately by saying, ''Shall the question be considered?" Two thirds of the group must vote against considering the main motion. Otherwise the Polemarch will again have to ask for a discussion and then put the motion to a vote. Motion to Close Debate.

If the discussion following a main motion becomes drawn out or seems to have reached a deadlock, any member may try to end the talk: Member : I move that debate be closed and a vote be taken. or: I move the previous question. Such a motion must have a second, but it cannot be debated. If it is passed by a two-third vote, the Polemarch must call a vote on the main motion, without allowing further discussion. Motions to Reconsider. Suppose that during the first part of a meeting the main motion "that we have a Karnival" has been voted on and defeated. This does not mean that the chapter cannot change its mind during a later part of the meeting. Any member-if he voted with the majority (whether the majority was for or against) can ask to have the motion reconsidered: Member : I voted against the motion to have a Karnival. I now move that we reconsider the vote on the motion. His motion to reconsider must be seconded, and it is open to discussion. If it is passed by a majority vote, the Polemarch then calls for a second vote on the motion to hold a Karnival. Motions to Adjourn. When the business at hand has been taken care of or when time is running short, any member can, on being recognized, make an ''unqualified" motion for adjournment: Member I move that the meeting be adjourned. His motion must be seconded, but is put to a vote without discussion. A ''qualified" motion to adjourn is one that specified the time of the next meeting or a definite time for the adjournment. Member : I move that we adjourn to meet next Friday evening. Or: I move that we adjourn at five-thirty.

A motion of this kind must be seconded and then laid open to discussion - and possible amendment - before a vote is taken. All motions to adjourn need a majority vote. NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS In the election of officers of a chapter, the nominations may be made by a committee. When the committee makes its report, which consists of a slate - one name for each office-the chair asks, ''Are there any other nominations?" At this time they may be made from the floor. The committee's nominations are treated just as if made by members from the floor with no vote being taken on accepting them. If nominations are made from the floor, these names are added to those submitted by the nominating committee. Neither nominations by the committee nor nominations from the floor require a second or adoption by vote, but are acted upon in the election ballot. Nominations are never seconded except as a complimentary endorsement of candidates not known to the assembly. When nominations are completed, the chapter proceeds with the elections, voting in accordance with the Statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. A motion may be made to close nominations but this motion is not in order until the assembly has been given reasonable time to add further nominations to those already made. It is an undebatable main motion, incidental to the nominations. Or if no more candidates are suggested after the Polemarch asks for further nominations, he may declare the nominations closed without waiting for a motion. IV. LOCAL CHAPTER OFFICERS AND THEIR DUTIES The Local Chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi consist of the Undergraduate Chapters and the Alumni Chapters. OFFICERS The officers of each Local Chapter consist of a Polemarch, Vice-Polemarch, Keeper of Records, Assistant Keeper of Records for Alumni Affairs in each Undergraduate Chapter, Keeper of Exchequer, Strategus, Lieutenant Strategus, Historian, Reporter, Members of the Board of Directors and such other officers as shall be deemed necessary, all of whom shall hold their respective office for a period of one year.

Polemarch: The Polemarch is the official head of the Chapter and its presiding officer at all meetings. He appoints all committees not otherwise provided for by law, and strictly enforces the laws and policies of the Fraternity. He also sees to it that the officers of the Chapter discharge their duties faithfully, impartially, accurately, and promptly. Vice-Polemarch: The Vice-Polemarch performs the duties of the Polemarch when he is absent, or at the direction of the Polemarch. Keeper of Records: As the Secretary of the Local Chapter, the Keeper of Records keeps a full, accurate and complete account of all records and transactions of the Chapter, conducts its correspondence and submits promptly and accurately all reports of his Chapter by law. Assistant Keeper of Records for Alumni Affairs: As the Assistant Keeper of Records for Alumni Affairs in each Undergraduate Chapter, the Assistant Keeper of Records shall compile and maintain in a permanent record book a complete roster of the chapter's alumni. He shall correspond with Chapter's Alumni Association and with the Chapter's alumni as individuals at least once each year. Keeper of Exchequer: As the treasurer of the Local Chapter, the Keeper of the Exchequer collects, receives, and has the care and custody of all moneys of the chapter which he pays out only upon warrants authorized by the Chapter and signed by the Polemarch and the Keeper of Records. He also keeps a true and accurate account of all receipts and disbursements of his office as prescribed by law, and his books and records shall be open for inspection at all reasonable times by the officers and members of his Chapter, the officers of the Grand Chapter, and the Province Polemarch. His records are kept in a Uniform Record System furnished by International Headquarters. He shall file a monthly financial report with the Advisor. Funds are to be kept in a bank checking account and paid out only upon the joint signatures of the Polemarch and Keeper of Exchequer. Reporter: The Reporter, selected because of his fitness to perform the duties of his office, forwards to the editor of the Kappa Alpha Psi Journal and other news media, all news items and other material suitable for publication in such form and at such time as may be required. Board of Directors: The Board of Directors of each Chapter consists of the Polemarch, Vice-Polemarch, Keeper of Records, Keeper of Exchequer and three other members elected by the Chapter. The Board represents the Chapter

in all legal matters when authorized by the Chapter and in such other duties as may be required of them by law. The duties of the Strategus, Lieutenant Strategus, and the Historian are basically the same as those of their counterparts in the Grand Chapter. Officers of each Undergraduate and Alumni Chapter are elected by ballot at the first regular meeting in March and May respectively. Undergraduates assume their offices immediately, and Alumni assume their offices at the regular meeting in June. DESIGNATION The Undergraduate Chapters of the Fraternity are named by letters of the Greek alphabet taken in consecutive order using first the single letters, then doubling the letters. The Alumni Chapters are named by the name of the city or town in which they are located. V. CHAPTER ROLL CALL (Listed by Province as of December 1999) Northern Undergraduate Chapters 1.

X. SONGS OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI The Kappa Alpha Psi Song Book contains the lyrics and music of the complete repertoire of Kappa songs and may be obtained from the office of the Executive Director. Also there are recordings of some Songs of Kappa Alpha Psi which are available from International headquarters. The most popular and national of these songs are listed below: THE KAPPA ALPHA PSI HYMN Oh noble Kappa Alpha Psi, the pride of all our hearts, True manliness, fidelity, thou ever dost impart;

The source of our delights and joy and happiness thou art; Oh noble Kappa Alpha Psi, from thee we'll never part, Oh noble Kappa Alpha Psi, from thee we'll never part. Now in the days of happiness, of pleasure and good cheer, I lift a cup of joy and health to every member here; To those who loved and toiled and strove for thee in other years, I give full honor and revere our noble Brothers dear, I give full honor and revere our noble Brothers dear. When all our student days are done and we from school must go, Still we will honor, love and sing thy praises o'er and o'er. We'll live for thee, we'll strive for thee, we'll all thy ways adore; We'll long for thee and toil until we reach the Golden Shore, We'll long for thee and toil until we reach the Golden Shore. OH YOU MUST BE A KAPPA ALPHA PSI Oh you must be a Kappa Alpha Psi, Oh you must be a Kappa Alpha Psi, Oh you must be a Kappa Alpha Psi, If you want to go to heaven when you die. We wear the diamond, diamond, We wear the diamond, diamond, We wear the diamond so they say. (So they say) We wear the diamond, diamond, We wear the diamond, diamond, We wear the diamond so they say. We are the people, people (etc.) We got the women, women (etc.) We got the money, money (etc.) SWEETHEART SONG You're as pretty as a picture, And as sweet as you can be;

I love you so sincerely, You're all the world to me. And if ever I should lose you, It would surely break my heart; For I love you, I adore you; You're my Kappa Alpha Psi Sweetheart. You are fairer than the fairest, I have loved you all the while; I know you're a Kappa Darling, 'Cause you've got that Kappa style. Fate must never let me lose you, Fate must never let us part; For I love you, I adore you; You're my Kappa Alpha Psi sweetheart. You should never feel discouraged, Never lonely, sad, or blue; Each day you're near my darling, Each night I dream of you. And if ever I should lose you, It would surely break my heart; For I love you, I adore you, You're my Kappa Alpha Psi sweetheart. THE PIN SONG Tell me why she wears his pin, Tell me why she's strong for him; Tell me why she is so true, She told me why, now I'll tell you. Because he is a Kappa bold Because he is a knight of old, Because he wears the Kappa shield, That is the reason she had to yield. So dance her in a corner, Hold her tight like this.

Put your arms around her waist, And on her lips a kiss - If she'll let you, And if she starts to murmur, If she starts to cry; Just tell her it's the sacred seal Of Kappa Alpha Psi. PASS THE LOVING CUP AROUND There is a cup of joy and health, 'Tis fair to look upon; And better still to drink from it, Each sip will last you long, There is a cup, 'Tis ever full, And never will run dry. We drink this cup of joy and health In Kappa Alpha Psi. Chorous So pass the loving cup around, Don't pass a brother by; We all drink from the same canteen In Kappa Alpha Psi. For you and I will ne'er grow old, While this fair cup is nigh, Here's life and strength, Here's health and wealth, Here's all in Phi Nu Pi. To days agone, we are again, Forgotten days and fair; The frat house comes before us and The brothers gathered there. As rises now before our eyes, Each well remembered scene; We drink a toast to K-A-Psi, The Crimson and the Cream.

XI. TRADITIONAL POEMS THE KAPPA OF MY DREAMS by W. Henry Green, Laurel Wreath Wearer, Past Grand Polemarch 1954, & Elder W. Diggs Laureate When, with every break of day Each brother, as he kneels to pray Will mention Kappa in his say That's the Kappa of my dreams. And 'ere the noon day sun is high Will pause and think of K-A-Psi And perform some deed in Phi Nu Pi That's the Kappa of my dreams. When inscribed upon the campus scroll And on every college honor roll The name of each youth in our fold That's the Kappa of my dreams. And when in every place you roam Any territory you may comb You'll find each chapter with its home That's the Kappa of my dreams. When each member shows he cares How every other Kappa fares And our obligation jointly are shared That's the Kappa of my dreams. And when Greeks from every place Admit that Kappa leads Life's race And our achievement set the pace That's the Kappa of my dreams. And when the evening shadows fall All Kappas will answer to the call All overflow the meeting hall, That's the Kappa of my Dreams.

And when every Brother knows our laws And is so dedicated to the cause That Grand Polemarch may be chosen by drawing straws, That's the Kappa of my Dreams. INVICTUS Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole; I thank Whatever God may be, For this my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud; Under the bludgeonings of chance, My head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the horror of the shade; And yet, the menace of the years, Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how straight the gate, Nor how charged with punishment the scroll; or I am the master of my fate, And I am the captain of my soul. XII. ONE LAST WORD (YOU and KAPPA ALPHA PSI) A. WHAT KAPPA ALPHA PSI WANTS Throughout this manual we have stated and implied what type and quality of member Kappa Alpha Psi wants. We have asserted that Kappa Alpha Psi is not interested in having more members or more chapters than other fraternities, but rather in the quality of membership and first rate chapters that measure up to the best organizations of its kind; more especially, members and chapters that satisfy our Purpose of Achievement and our commitment to Excellence. B. ONCE A KAPPA, ALWAYS A KAPPA Article XXIV of the Fraternity Constitution, contains the following:

"No member of this Fraternity shall be permitted to resign his membership for any reason whatsoever." "No person shall be eligible for membership in Kappa Alpha Psi who is or has been affiliated with any other Greek letter organization of the same character." Aside from mere membership, "Once a Kappa, Always a Kappa" means life- long allegiance to the Fraternity purpose and ideals. It means movement upon graduation into Alumni Chapters. It means continued Fraternity participation through the National Headquarters Office wherever there is poor access to Alumni chapters; for example, while a member of the armed forces of America. It means affiliation with organized Alumni or the undergraduate Chapter of which you are an Alumnus in the continuous interest of that chapter. Where no such organization exists, it means exercising initiative to form such an organization. ''In the continuing interest of the Chapter" means that procurement and management of a creditable Chapter home; cooperating with the Chapter's need for representative members by directing selected high school graduates to the related college; visiting the "old campus" on occasion and participating in Alumni banquets under the chapter's sponsorship; and engaging in other activities designed to raise the chapter's operating level. It means informed participation in the national program recognizing, as surely you must, that without that participation there can be no national organization, and local groups would have no status beyond that of social clubs. Hopefully, then these are among the meanings that Kappa Alpha Psi should have for you. 1. Achievement. 2. Training for leadership. 3. Fellowship, or spiritual relationship with men of similar values. 4. A better way of life for you and for those who come after you. 5. The development of sense of purpose, a sense of RESPONSIBILITY and a sense of judgment within the context of companionable living and learning. 6. The facilitation of the career choices of members. 7. Fostering and supplementing the principles of meaningful family experience, principles of morality, worthwhile community service, altruism and companionable living. 8. On-the-job training in the art of leadership, characterized by intellectual competence, a sense of direction; assumption of responsibility, and moral rectitude.

9. Integration with the objectives of college and university, notably scholarship ACHIEVEMENT. 10. Dissatisfaction with mediocrity and triviality. 11. A lifetime of dynamic Fraternity participation geared to progressive development of undergraduate Brothers. 12. Regular and continuous participation in the Grand Chapter and Province Council as a means of informed Fraternity membership. 13. Overt commitment to Fraternity ideals and programs of merit. 14. Avoidance of sectional interests out of harmony with the Fraternity's progressive development. 15. Due regard for the secrets and confidential releases of Kappa Alpha Psi. 16. Conformance with the Fraternity Ritual, Constitution, Statutes and Relations. 17. Avoidance of "spoiled brat" behavior inimical to your own progress and the progress of Kappa Alpha Psi. C. WHAT KAPPA ALPHA PSI GIVES Privilege is a prerogative enjoyed out of mere membership in Kappa Alpha Psi, but true entitlement is earned, not gratuitously given. Entitlement derives from creditable performance in the Fraternity interest and the accompanying respect of one's own fellows. What is the nature of the prerogatives that accrue to persons upon initiation into Kappa Alpha Psi? Basic in character, they are to wear the Fraternity badge and to attend local chapter meetings, Entitlement is the resultant of satisfying one's financial obligations; contributing to Fraternity planning and development; voting and holding office in the Grand Chapter, Province ACHIEVEMENT, ASSISTING THE PURPOSES i.e. of colleges and university; helping to insure the continuing growth and development of Undergraduate Chapters, and otherwise growth and development of Undergraduate Chapters, and otherwise discharging the RESPONSIBILITIES of Fraternity membership. After gaining Fraternity membership, men may withdraw almost immediately from active participation while insisting upon so called rights to the accruements of brotherhood . . . confusing "right" with entitlement, they insist upon the same treatment that is accorded loyal members. Offering nothing and demanding everything, these men rationalize their delinquencies, ridicule Fraternity Purpose and Program, and deride contributing members, while belying their professed love of Kappa Alpha Psi. Their only manifestations of ''love" of Fraternity is the badge they wear and their requests for the help of Brothers when in need.

Let it be said that brotherhood is a two-way communication. From you to Kappa Alpha Psi and its members, and from Kappa Alpha Psi and its members to you. Communicate little or nothing and you will receive little or nothing. Communicate much and you will receive much. The emphasis in Kappa Alpha Psi is your responsibility rather than privilege. Growth is a continuous process with each generation making its contribution. If after your initiation and orientation Kappa Alpha Psi still has little meaning to you, then surely it will have little meaning for you. In this respect, Kappa Alpha Psi is not different from other institutions, or from life generally. There is no need to line up before a paying teller where no deposits have been made. Are you willing to make significant deposits of any nature now and are you continuously committed to significant deposits in the future?
