Kappa Alpha Nu was officially renamed to Kappa Alpha Psi on April 15, 1915, following a resolution passed in December 1914. It is said that the name was changed to adopt a distinct Greek-letter symbol.

“It was felt that the new name was more in conformity and appearance with the best Greek practice.”
Founder Byron K. Armstrong, Crossing the Jordan and Beyond

A timeless reflection on the intentionality, structure, and enduring legacy behind the identity of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., a name that continues to embody excellence, purpose, and Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.

We proudly congratulate Brother Dr. Carter Larry on being named the 2025 Suburban Law Enforcement Academy (SLEA) Instructor of the Year!

This distinguished recognition reflects Brother Larry’s exceptional commitment to training, leadership, and professional development within the law enforcement community.

According to SLEA Director, Mike Zegadlo:

“Dr. Larry delivers complex and, at times, uncomfortable subject matter in an engaging, entertaining, and non-judgmental style which calls law enforcement officers to be introspective, self-aware, and attentive to their own internal thought processes.”

Brother Larry’s ability to educate, challenge, and inspire officers speaks volumes about his impact and dedication to the profession. His work not only enhances the capabilities of those he trains but also strengthens the integrity and effectiveness of law enforcement as a whole.

He truly exemplifies the ideals of a Kappa Man, demonstrating continuous achievement, professional excellence, and meaningful service.

Congratulations, Dr. Larry! Your MWAC brothers salute you!

“Show the denouncers this.”
While critics online debate the traditions of Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLOs), Pastor Howard-John Wesley and Alfred Street Baptist Church (ASBC) are busy living out the true mission: Achievement and Service.
Pastor Wesley, a life member and National Chaplain of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., recently led a movement that defines “Black Excellence.” Through the church’s SEEK initiative, his congregation raised $1 million to pay off the delinquent rent for 338 families in Alexandria, VA. This wasn’t just a handout; it was a “Fresh Start” that cleared debts ranging from $50 to $30,000, literally stopping evictions in their tracks for public housing residents.
This isn’t an anomaly for Wesley or the ASBC community. This is the Black Greek Lifestyle in action—using collective resources to bridge the gaps created by systemic inequality. From donating $1 million to the National Museum of African American History and Culture to clearing student debt at HBCUs like Howard University, the focus remains on uplift.
For every person questioning the validity of the “Divine Nine,” there is a family still in their home today because a Kappa man stood in the pulpit and challenged his community to put their money where their faith is. It’s about the power of the bond and the commitment to “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.” While some talk, leaders like Wesley do. That is the story. That is the impact.
