Now, from my understanding, (please correct me if I am wrong), one commonality in the founding of each org in the pan was for the upliftment of blacks as a whole people. Keeping that in mind I would expect that something toward that end would be taught during the pledging process or elsewhere in the lifetime of membership in an org.

Let me ask you this question...and please, don't reply to it, just marinate on it....WHY do YOU want to be a member of Kappa Alpha Psi? Like aRHOgance said, if you want to be a member for the right reasons, there's sooo much more to the organization than its rituals & secrets. You should do some soul-searching to figure out if pledging KAPsi or any BGLO is right for you.
I can tell you this...I pledge DST because there was NO other choice for me. Delta burned in my heart and I was willing to wait as long as it took to become a member of what I considered the greatest sisterhood. It had nothing to do with the secrets or rituals because I didn't even know anything about that. I was impressed with her LEGACY and the fact that the sorority has members to her credit that have left a SUBSTANTIAL impact on American society- not just the African-American community. A big sister or big brother can't teach you that....you come to the table with that type of desire and willingness to work hard for the organzation that you think is the best thing since sliced bread!
Again, good luck.
