How are Alumni Chapters designated?

Alumni Chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi are designated by the name of the city in which they are located. This naming convention reflects the community focus and local identity of each chapter, allowing for clear recognition and distinction among the numerous alumni chapters across the country. By using the city's name, members and potential members can easily identify and connect with their respective chapter, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie within the organization. This system of designation enhances the visibility of the chapters within their localities and strengthens the ties between the fraternity and those communities. In contrast, naming by university, state, or founder does not provide the same level of geographical specificity that is integral to the alumni chapters' role in connecting with local members and activities.
