Kappa Alpha Order is one of the most distinguished fraternal societies in the American collegiate
system. It is a men’s social fraternity that has defined the southern gentleman since
1865. Founded by four men at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University)
in Lexington, Virginia, Kappa Alpha’s ideals are based on its spiritual founder, Robert E.
Lee. More than 120,000 men have chosen KA. The brothers of Kappa Alpha take part in
many intramural activities and work to improve their education.
The chapter at Virginia Tech is tightly knit.
The brothers take part in many philanthropy
events around campus and raise money
for their national philanthropy, Muscular
dystrophy Association. They also enjoy the
friendship of other fraternities and sororities
at Virginia Tech. They are a part of a
community that involves much more than
a university. Academics are the first priority
for the chapter. It takes the ability to prioritize
and a willingness to work to achieve greatness. Kappa Alpha Order strives to make you
a successful individual who will accomplish prestige upon entering the real world.
