Founded in 1865,
Kappa Alphas are known as "the gentlemen of the fraternity
world." The philosophy of the Order is that "the acquisition
of knowledge and the development of character are the
great goals of life." Through fellowship and their brotherhood
development program, Defining the Gentleman, the Gamma
Omicron chapter seeks to teach young men to be leaders;
to be brave, self-reliant and to continually strive to
better themselves. The national colors of Kappa Alpha
are crimson and old gold, and the flower is the magnolia.
We invite you to learn more about our
Chapter including our activities and members. If you are
an incoming Lambuth University freshman, we look forward
to seeing you in August for formal recruitment. During
the summer, we will have several events so that you may
visit the KA House and meet some of the members. |
