Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity, Inc., was founded November 27, 1919 on the campus of Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University) in Stillwater, Oklahoma, by ten dedicated and inspired college bandsmen.
Kappa Kappa Psi is a fraternal organization that promotes the advancement of college and university bands through dedicated service and support to bands; comprehensive education; leadership opportunities; and recognition; for the benefit of its members and society.
When I started college, I had a limited knowledge of Greek life. I had a few relatives who were in D9 / NPHC orgs, but no one in my immediate family. I attended a HBCU so the majority of the active Greeks on campus were D9. I considered one of the D9 fraternities briefly but I didn't find one at that time that I throught I would be a good fit for (long, boring story).
A major part of my college life (apart from classes) revolved around band and band-related activities and that's when I heard about Kappa Kappa Psi. We didn't have a chapter on campus at the time, but I met some members of Psi on band trips and football games and was impressed at the brotherhood and camaraderie exhibited between them and their sister sorority (Tau Beta Sigma). So when the opportunity presented itself to take part in chartering a chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi on my campus and become a part of history, there was no question which way I was going to go. I have never looked back, and have never regretted that decision, and have been especially proud of seeing the bruhs/lines who have crossed through my chapter since that memorable day in 1988...
