On January 5, 1911, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was founded at Indiana University Bloomington. Kappa Alpha Psi is a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the North-American Interfraternity Conference.
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity has never limited membership based on color, creed or national origin.
The fraternity has over 150,000 members with 721 undergraduate and

The organization is the first predominantly African American Greek-letter society founded west of the Appalachian Mountains still in existence, and is known for its "cane stepping" in NPHC organized step shows.
