To Perdido88
Perdido88, your knowledge of KAP is astounding, and your kind words are great appreciated. I am a KAP (85 -90) and had the honor of pledging most of the brothers you mentioned. All of them are great guys, and I still keep in touch with many of them.
Most everything posted is accurate. The KAPS have been suspended from all campus activity. The current KAPS posted pictures on a non related website that showed under age drinking, and that’s what the administration, and Hogan, used to suspend the KAPS. The KAPS, much like the Lambs, had been targeted by administration for many years. And it is a great injustice to remove both groups who have such a history on campus. Most of my female friends are Lambs, and we are all still very close. As recently as November ‘06, we all met up in Pittsburgh for a sort of reunion.
The KAP alumni have been very involved in trying to keep the KAPS on campus, and overturn the administration’s decision. For a brief period, there were talks with Phi Kaps to merge the remaining brothers, but it was voted down by both actives and alumni. It was nothing against the Phi Kaps, it just wasn’t the right road to take for KAPS. At this point, the future of KAP at DU is unclear.
There is a KAP alumni group on Yahoo, DuqKAPS. I believe the member count is 70+ currently.
