About Our FraternityNational History Local History Kappa Kappa Psi is a National Honorary Music Fraternity which operates at the college level for various purposes. In general, the Fraternity is dedicated to the knowledge and performance of Music, and strives to help build better college level bands across the nation. Kappa Kappa Psi operates primarily as a student service and leadership honor society whose chief aim is to assist the Director of Bands in developing the leadership and enthusiasm that is required of his/her band. Our goals are to provide the band not only with various service activities, but also to give our membership valid and wholesome experiences in organization, leadership and social contacts. The honorary nature of membership is based on our premise that "it is an honor to be selected to serve" this band, its department of music, its sponsoring institution, and the cause of band music in the nation's colleges and universities. The Fraternity is presently located in over 140 colleges and universities. Since 1919 more than 47,000 interested bandmembers have devoted their efforts to strengthening their bands through group and individual service projects. The Fraternity's program of continued service to Music has attracted the attention of the best in American band tradition and has left us with a very distinguished list of prominent members On the local level, chapter responsibilities include performing numerous service projects as well as providing morale, spirit, enthusiasm, atmosphere and attitude within the band. Membership in Kappa Kappa Psi thus becomes an educational and service activity as well as social one. And it is this kind of activity that enriches the band student's life and sharpens an appreciation for both the best in Music and what it takes to achieve it. It is to this end that our National Fraternity is dedicated. |
