History of Kappa Psi Book


The scope of Kappa Psi in its first century and beyond is captured in approximately 500 pages, including over 100 photos. This heritage of considerable complexity traces the Fraternity's evolution from its humble beginning as a New England prep school fraternity across twenty-six years as a joint medical-pharmacy fraternity and then through more than 65 years as a pharmaceutical fraternity. Major sections include a chronological history of the organization, the Legends of Kappa Psi, a record of the Chapters (both Collegiate and Graduate), Provinces, and Grand Council Conventions, the Official publications, songs, symbols, awards, jewelry, and fraternity activities.


The book - a tribute to its more than 50,000 members - is available in hardback copy.
