Kappa League
Kappa League is a subset of Guide Right, Kappa Alpha Psi's National Service Initiative. It was founded on February 12, 1969, by the Los Angeles Alumni Chapter — originally called the Kappa Instructional Leadership League — under the leadership of founders Mel L. Davis and Edgar H. Bishop at Alain Leroy Locke High School. The program was adopted by the Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi at the 56th Grand Chapter Meeting in August 1970, becoming a national program serving young men across the country.
Kappa League provides educational, occupational, and social guidance for male students in grades 6 through 12, helping them grow, receive, and develop their leadership talents in every phase of human endeavor. Our Lewes (DE) Alumni Chapter Kappa League will serve young men in Sussex County, Delaware, providing mentorship, college preparation, career exposure, and leadership development.
Our Goals

- Train Kappa Leaguers to become role models of positive change for other youth in their school and community
The 7 Phases of Kappa League
