About the chapter

The Nupes pride themselves on encouraging honorable achievement in every field of human endeavor and inspiring service in the public’s interests.

“My experience as part of the Omega Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity inc. has been a pivotal component of my academic matriculation and leadership development. Being a part of a brotherhood that is unequivocal by all measures has provided me a community that encourages achievement beyond what I originally saw as possible. As I’ve been able to serve this fraternity at the national level, I’ve valued most the altruism and networking that is prevalent all across the country.”
Immanuel Taylor, 2024 Polemarch (chapter president)
