Our primary focus is to ensure the academic achievement of all our chapters and members. This philosophy is consistent with a founding principle that the acquisition of knowledge is of the greatest importance. In fact, to be initiated, each member must have at least a cumulative 2.25 average, although some chapters often set even higher standards.

In addition, many chapter scholarship programs are reinforced with incentives from the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation (KAOEF). Among the highest national fraternities in giving, the Foundation annually awards over $100,000 in scholarships to deserving students.
