Official Fraternity Creed
We, the Brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi, believe that
service to the college or university band promotes responsibility, loyalty, and leadership; that a spirit of brotherhood is
enhanced by participation in the band program; that music is a universal language and truly the greatest of the arts; and
that through fraternal participation, each member will strive for the highest.
At West Chester University. It's an honor to be selected
to serve...
Kappa Kappa Psi provides service in many forms around the
School of Music at West Chester University. During the fall marching band season, Kappa, along with our sisters in Tau Beta
Sigma, help distribute water, load pit equipment, sort uniforms, and ready the field for rehearsals.
Less visibly,
Kappa works behind the scenes of the School of Music, setting up stands and chairs for all band rehearsals, tearing down risers
and chairs after concerts, sorting and collecting music; in general, doing what needs to be done to keep Swope Hall functioning.
Who is Kappa Kappa Psi?
Kappa Kappa Psi operates primarily as a student service and
leadership recognition society whose chief aim is to assist the Director of Bands in developing the leadership and enthusiasm
that is required of his/her band. Our goals are to provide the band not only with organized and concentrated service activities,
but to give our membership valid and wholesome experiences in organization, leadership and social contacts. The honorary nature
of membership is based on our premise that “it is an honor to be selected to serve” this band, its department
of music, its sponsoring institution, and the cause of band music in the nation's colleges and universities.
The educational value to the student of participation
in a smaller group's activities cannot be overemphasized. Experience in planning, organizing and carrying through projects
to benefit the larger band organization are necessary if a well-rounded and responsible student leader is to be trained. The
fraternal group, as embodied by our active chapters, provides this needed training group for the student by establishing both
worthy goals and worthwhile guideposts for a meaningful college experience.
Membership in Kappa Kappa Psi thus becomes an
educational and service activity as well as social one. And it is this kind of activity that enriches the band student's life
and sharpens an appreciation for both the best in Music and what it takes to achieve it. It is to this end that our National
Fraternity is dedicated, and we cordially invite your participation in this effort.
