The Mission of the Kappa Alpha Order
Kappa Alpha Order seeks to create a lifetime experience that centers on reverence to God, duty, honor, character, and gentlemanly conduct as inspired by Robert E. Lee, our spiritual founder.
The Kappa Alpha Order is something very special. It is very different and has much more to offer than a common fraternity. The only thing Kappa Alpha holds in common with fraternities is
that its members enjoy the same degree of brotherhood. Most similarities end there.
Kappa Alpha Order is an order based upon knighthood that holds the ideal of chivalry as paramount. Members of Kappa Alpha have a serious responsibility. It is their duty to demonstrate that chivalry is not simply an ancient code of conduct that existed during some forgotten era, but that it is a way of life that exists well into today.
It takes a very special person to be able to complete his training as a squire in the Order and graduate into the rank of knighthood. It takes someone dedicated to enriching not only his college experience, but also their life afterwards, as the ideals learned continue on well past graduation. It takes someone willing to exert every effort to live his life honorably and true, as success is never handed out, but earned. It takes someone who understands that there is also a time to play and be social, since success means nothing unless it is enjoyed. It takes someone dissatisfied with the modern fraternity and looking for something a little different.
If you feel you meet all of these requirements, if you think you have what it takes, please stop over and meet the brothers of the Order. If you do decide that Kappa Alpha has something to offer you, and that you can give of yourself in return, there are many here that would be proud to call you brother.
If you have any questions concerning rushing, please contact our Rush Chairman, Sam Magill, or come by Talbot House and meet some of the brothers!
