Welcome to the Queens Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. website!
The Queens Alumni Chapter was founded March 10, 1990, at the Roy Wilkins Center in Jamaica, NY. Inspired by the visionary leadership of Brothers Paul Carey and Geoff Gross, the 15 charter members, most of whom were recent college graduates, sought to inspire and provide a new, different and diverse perspective and voice of Kappa principles and objectives to the City of New York, with a special focus on the borough of Queens.
Over the past twenty seven years, the Queens Alumni Chapter has provided service to the Queens community and has implemented programs consistent with the Fraternity's objectives such as:
• Annual “Salute to Achiever’s” Celebration – an award ceremony where we recognized Kappa Men in the metropolitan area for their Leadership, Dedication, and Vision
• Annual Health Fair
• Feed the Needy
• Adopt-a-Family
• Toy Drive programs
• Financial Aid programs for college bound students
• Sunday of Hope - is a program benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. where each chapter partners with a church to raise money.
• Kappas against Sexual & Domestic Violence
• Adopt-a-Highway Beautification Project
• NY Cares Community Service programs
• Voter Registration and Awareness programs
One of the chapter's main focuses has been the guidance of young, predominantly urban males in an effort to assist them in their journey to becoming responsible and productive MEN. Through nurturing relationships and involvement with four undergraduate chapters, a broad base Guide Right program featuring the “Kappa Development League” located at Eagle Academy of Southeast Queens and individually committed efforts of its membership, the Queens Alumni Chapter seeks to instill in young urban males a sense of pride, determination, respect, responsibility, knowledge of self, academic excellence, maturity and moral integrity.
