Kappa Alpha Psi is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founders Elder Watson Diggs; Ezra D. Alexander; Byron K. Armstrong; Henry T. Asher; Marcus P. Blakemore; Paul W. Caine; George W. Edmonds; Guy Levis Grant; Edward G. Irvin and John Milton Lee.  
It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910 - 11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now enjoyed by, college men everywhere, regardless of their color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which KAPPA ALPHA PSI is justly proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of KAPPA ALPHA PSI is predicated upon and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity.
