KA is proud to announce our participation in Fraternities Know Men, a new national campaign launched by the Fraternity Forward Coalition to position the fraternal movement as the leading voice on the crisis facing young men in America and as a proven source of solutions to it.
The facts are stark: young men today are struggling with widespread loneliness, declining mental health, and a lack of mentorship and direction. But KAs know something the broader culture is only beginning to understand: membership in a fraternity works.
An October 2025 poll of more than 1,000 young men found that fraternity members are 12% more likely to report positive mental health, nearly 30% more likely to have a male mentor, and significantly more likely to have three or more close friends than non-affiliated students. These aren’t statistics we’re surprised by. They’re the experience of every man who has found his footing, his purpose, and his brothers through the Order.
Fraternities Know Men will make that case loudly and clearly through a national campaign featuring research, media placements, digital content, public events, and policy recommendations. Its centerpiece is a large-scale digital advertising campaign reaching prospective members, parents, administrators, and the broader public.
We’re proud to share that Kappa Alpha Order will have an extensive presence throughout the campaign’s upcoming video series. We’re especially proud that Eli Cason, Number I at Epsilon Nu Chapter, is prominently featured in the announcement video and will be in the videos to come. Eli’s story is a powerful embodiment of what it means to be a KA, and we look forward to our brothers being front and center in this movement for many months to come.
With 118 active chapters and more than 190,000 initiates, KA’s legacy of developing men of character is one of the most compelling proof points in this campaign. We’re proud to stand alongside our fellow coalition members to carry this message forward.
