Phase Meeting (Sept '25)
Description goes here
The Kappa League was founded on February 12, 1969, by the Los Angeles Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Inc., at Alain LeRoy Locke High School. With the formal adoption of the program by the Grand Chapter in 1970, Kappa League became a cornerstone of the Fraternity’s commitment to youth leadership and empowerment. Inspired by the vision of Mel L. Davis and Edgar H. Bishop, the Kappa League aims to prepare young men—particularly those of color—to become leaders who impact and influence their communities in positive ways.
