Membership is a solemn commitment. To this Fraternity, the maker of the commitment becomes synonymous with the commitment itself. Membership in Kappa Alpha Psi is a lifelong dedication to the ideas and lofty purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi, which considers for membership only those aspirants whose personal, social, and academic qualifications are acceptable to both the College and Fraternity. Expectations concerning maturity and dedication are made upon new members and established members alike.
Maturity is more than simply reaching a certain age. Maturity to us means acceptance of reality, the ability to sacrifice and set goals, consideration of others, incisive judgment, emotional balance, development of social skills, intellectual competence, and moral rectitude. We expect our members to be mature.
Dedication means putting those characteristics of maturity into a lifelong program of action to advance the goals and purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi. We expect our members to be dedicated.
But do not let personal goals supersede those of the Fraternity. A person who feels he would do the Fraternity a favor by joining is not worthy of membership. No one who holds himself superior to the Brotherhood of Kappa Alpha Psi is worthy of this distinction.
Kappa Alpha Psi is not interested in the simple accumulation of members and chapters. Its emphasis, however, is on the quality and integrity of its membership. Membership quality manifests itself through an intangible element of brotherhood we call "that Good Old Kappa Spirit."

The Brothers of the Gaithersburg-Rockville Alumni Chapter invite you to…
Come Home to Kappa!
Remember when you first joined the fraternity? Our fundamental purpose and goals have not changed. We are still very focused on Achievement, serving Gaithersburg and Rockville communities, mentoring black youth, and upholding the quality standards of our Grand fraternity.
The goals of Gaithersburg-Rockville Alumni’s Reclamation program are to reclaim additional members, promote that Good Ole Kappa Spirit, and retain reclaimed members in the chapter. In our chapter no brother's diamond is bigger than the next, so recognition is given to members who give their time to the fraternity in the form of awards, recognition at the regular meetings, and other initiatives.
The Gaithersburg-Rockville Alumni chapter encourages all detached members of the Noble Klan to become active members of the chapter. If you are a resident of Gaithersburg-Rockville, Maryland, and would like to get back involved with the Bond, please process your membership below, and your process will begin.
“Come Home to Kappa!” If you have been away from the Bond, desiring a chapter to call home and live in the Gaithersburg-Rockville area, the brothers of the Gaithersburg-Rockville Alumni Chapter encourage and welcome all long-lost members of our Noble Klan to become active members of the chapter.
