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.
