Founding
 The Sample Gates of Indiana University (IU). IU was the site for the founding of Kappa Alpha Nu in 1911—the name was changed to Kappa Alpha Psi in 1915. The fraternity was founded as Kappa Alpha Nu on the night of January 5, 1911 by ten African-American college students.[5] The decision upon the name Kappa Alpha Nu may have been to honor the Alpha Kappa Nu club which began in 1903 on the Indiana University campus, but there were too few registrants to assure continuing organization.[6] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (1024x768, 202 KB) File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): Indiana University Bloomington Kappa Alpha Psi Metadata This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera...

During this time there were very few African-American students at the predominately white campus at Bloomington, Indiana and they were a small minority due to the era of Jim Crow laws. Many African-American students rarely saw each other on campus and were discouraged or prohibited from attending student functions and extracurricular activities by white college administrators and fellow students. African-American students were denied membership on athletic teams with the exception of track and field. The racial prejudice and discrimination encountered by the founders strengthened their bond of friendship and growing interest in starting a social group.[7] The Jim Crow Laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern and border states of the United States and enforced between 1876 and 1965. ...
 Kappa Alpha Psi initiate Frank Summers was one of eighteen members of the Indiana University Track team awarded the letter " I" in 1915.
 The cover of The History of Kappa Alpha Psi By 1912, the fraternity expanded with the second undergraduate chapter opened at the University of Illinois—Beta chapter; then the University of Iowa—Gamma chapter. After this, Kappa Alpha Psi chartered undergraduate chapters on Black college campuses at Wilberforce University—Delta Chapter, and Lincoln University (Pennsylvania)—Epilson Chapter. In 1920, Xi Chapter was chartered at Howard University. In 1921, the fraternity installed the Omicron chapter at Columbia University, its first at an Ivy League university. The fraternity's first chapter in the South was established in 1921 at Morehouse College— Pi Chapter. Kappa Alpha Psi expanded through the Midwest, South, and West at both white and black colleges.[8] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (579x808, 90 KB)Indiana University Track Team, 1915 This image is a faithful digitalization of a unique historic photograph, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the photographer who took the photograph or the agency employing the photographer. ...

Some believe the Greek letters Kappa Alpha Nu were chosen as a tribute to Alpha Kappa Nu,[9] but the name became an ethnic slur among racist factions. Founder Elder Watson Diggs, while observing a young initiate compete in a track meet, overheard fans referring to the member as a "kappa alpha nig", and a campaign to rename the fraternity ensued.[10] The resolution to rename the group was adopted in December 1914, and the fraternity states, "the name acquired a distinctive Greek letter symbol and KAPPA ALPHA PSI thereby became a Greek letter Fraternity in every sense of the designation." Kappa Alpha Psi has been the official name since April 15, 1915.[4] A slur can be anything from an insinuation or critical remark to an insult. ...

The Kappa Kane
 Kappa initiates carrying their canes at Fisk University in 1968. Cane stepping is an official part of the fraternity. In the 1950s, as black Greek-letter organizations began the tradition of step shows, the fraternity began using the "Kappa Kane" in what it termed "cane stepping." In the 1960s, the cane was decorated with the fraternity colors, and shortened in the 1970s so brothers could "twirl" and tap the cane in the choreography with high dexterity. The national organization did not condone the use of canes in step shows and contended that "the hours spent in step practices by chapters each week would be better devoted to academic or civic achievement." Senior Grand Vice Polemarch Ullysses McBride complained about the vulgar language and obscene gestures sometimes engaged in by cane-stepping participants. The Fraternity succumbed to the pressure of undergraduate chapters in 1986 and added cane stepping as an official item on the Grand Chapter agenda.[12] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Scroller Club
 Coat of Arms of the Scroller Club. The colors were green and white. The Scroller Club was a pledge club of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., that no longer exists today. It was a unit of organization of Kappa Alpha Psi to acquaint pledges with the what, why, how, and by what means of college Greek-lettered organization - in general - and Kappa Alpha Psi in particular. It was hoped that the training would be sufficiently thorough as to prepare each "Scroller" for immediate integration into chapter activities following his initiation.

Any member, who participates in underground pledge activities, or hazing of any kind, shall be expelled from the Fraternity.
Executive Order Three [25] | Pledge clubs had existed from the fraternity's beginning, but it was not until 1919 that the Scroller Club, as such, was introduced by the Zeta Chapter. This was prompted by the sudden increase in pledges soon after the war, and was necessity for thorough, effective, and more or less standardized orientation. At the first meeting, William J. Madison raised the question of an appropriate name. At the second meeting, Elias Tuggle, inspired by the scroll on the Fraternity's badge, proposed the name "Scroller."[26] Empirical evidence supports the belief that the Scroller Club of Kappa Alpha Psi was the first entity of its kind to be created by a historically African-American Greek-lettered organization.[27]
Hazing is illegal and outlawed in many states. The fraternity has never condoned hazing, but were aware of incidents that occurred. Kappa Alpha Psi along with fellow NPHC organizations, in 1990, issued a joint statement announcing the elimination of pledging. The fraternity therefore revised membership development and the intake process and instituted strong policies against hazing and has taken steps to reinforce and strengthen its stance against prohibited conduct.[28] The fraternity backed its stance by releasing Executive Order One in 1988, Executive Order Two in 1993, and Executive Order Three in 1994.[29] Hazing is an often ritualistic test, which may constitute harassment, abuse or humiliation with requirements to perform random, often meaningless tasks, sometimes as a way of initiation into a social group. ...

Provinces In 1921, the Fraternity was divided into districts as a result of proposed legislation by George F. David II, the third Grand Polemarch. David was first Grand Polemarch who had not been nurtured by the Alpha Chapter under the influence of the Founders, proposed dividing the Fraternity into supervisory districts. The idea originated with his father who was a Presiding Elder of the A.M.E. Church and also member of Kappa Alpha Psi. Grand Polemarch David, II implemented the division of the Fraternity into three districts. Past Grand Polemarch Irven Armstrong was assigned the first; Harrison R. Duke, the second; and Harold M. Tyler, the third district. The three districts grew into four "regions". Fifth Grand Polemarch Earl B. Dickerson changed the designation of "Region" to "Province" and "Regional Director" to "Province Polemarch" at the 15th Grand Chapter Meeting in 1925. And during the original establishment of provinces, the following provinces were established: Eastern, Middle Eastern, Central, Great Lakes, Northwestern, Western, Southern, and Southeastern Provinces.[30] Today there are currently 12 provinces and they are: Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
