Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. was founded on January
5, 1911 on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. The
Founders of Kappa Alpha Nu were God-fearing, clean living serious
minded young men who possessed the imagination, ambition, courage and
determination to defy custom in pursuit of a college education.
"Every college man ought to belong to some such movement as this.
It broadens his horizon and brings him into vital touch and fellowship
with college men everywhere."
"Reliance would be placed upon high
Christian ideals and the purpose of achievement. The Fraternity would
seek to raise the sights of black youths and stimulate them to
accomplishments higher than might otherwise be realized or even
imagined."
The "Dreamer", Elder Watson
Diggs, and nine other men sought out the ideals of brotherhood and
achievement in every field of human endeavor, and as their purpose
states," ...uniting college men of culture, patriotism and honor
in a bond of fraternity."
