Kappa League History
Kappa League is designed to help young men grow, receive, and develop their leadership talents in every phase of human endeavor. It provides both challenging and rewarding experiences, which richly enhanced their lives. Membership is open to male students from the seventh through the twelfth grades. The fraternity seeks to help these young men to achieve worthy goals for themselves and make constructive contributions to their community when leadership roles become the responsibility.
