A GEM IN THE QUEEN CITY
The Cincinnati Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi was chartered approximately twelve years after Kappa Alpha Psi was incorporated as a National Greek Letter College Fraternity.
The Charter Members were; L.R. Breedlove, Ray Clark, Ned Dunham, H.L. Hunter, and James Ross.
It was through their dedication that the Cincinnati Alumni Chapter attained its charter and was incorporated under the laws of the state of Ohio on December 18, 1923.
A Message From Our Polemarch
Welcome to the website of the Cincinnati (OH) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. It is my honor to serve as the 44th Polemarch of our esteemed chapter, a proud community with a legacy spanning over 100 years since our chartering on December 18, 1923. Since January 5, 1911, the men of Kappa Alpha Psi® have represented the very essence of achievement in every field of human endeavor, and our chapter continues that tradition with dedication and pride.
​
Home to some of Kappa’s most distinguished members, including the 65th Laurel Wreath Awardee, Judge Nathaniel R. Jones (Chapter Invisible), and the 70th Laurel Wreath Awardee, Dr. Alvin Crawford, our chapter is also the reigning Chapter of the Year in the Eastern Central Province—a testament to our enduring commitment to excellence and community impact.
​
Our chapter serves the Cincinnati community through impactful programs such as Kappa League and the Donald Spencer Reading Academy, providing mentorship, leadership development, and academic support to our youth. Additionally, we are dedicated to our longstanding scholarship initiative, which has awarded over $250,000 to graduating seniors in the Cincinnati area, empowering them to achieve their educational and career goals.
We warmly welcome our Kappa brothers interested in reconnecting or joining our chapter, as well as community partners and supporters who share our mission. Together, we can continue making a meaningful difference in Cincinnati and beyond.
