The acceptance of responsibility for any effort that moves the group forward. The desire to strive for, and ultimately achieve, excellence in everything you do. The commitment to train for leadership. The resolution to give lifelong financial support and commitment to the maintenance and development of the Fraternity's programs and purposes. Expectations concerning maturity and dedication are mad upon new members and established members alike.
Maturity is more than simply reaching a certain age.
Maturity to us means acceptance of reality, the ability to sacrifice and set goals, consideration of others, incisive judgement, emotional balance, development of social skills, intellecutal competence, and moral rectitude. We expect our members to be mature. We recognize that many young men entering college are limited in experiences and unschooled in the complexities of group dynamics. Therefore, one of the primary membership goals of Kappa Alpha Psi is to prepare members for cooperative group living and a lifetime of dedication to the Fraternity. Kappa Alpha Psi hopes that its members will come to understand how the socializing influences of the group will contribute to personal advancement and achievement in all endeavors.
