Kappa Alpha

Kappa Alpha

La Kappa Alpha Society (ΚΑ), créée en 1825, était le précurseur des fraternités modernes en Amérique du Nord. Elle était la première des fraternités qui deviendra finalement connue comme l'une des membres de l'Union Triad. De plus, le Manuel de Baird déclare que KA, contrairement à d'autres fraternités, a maintenu une existence continuelle depuis sa fondation, faisant d'elle la plus vieille fraternité d'étudiants existant aujourd'hui[1].Depuis 2009, il y a sept chapitres dont l'implantation est répartie entre les États-Unis et le Canada.
