Kappa Alpha
The Kappa Alpha Society is the oldest college fraternity in the United States. It was formed at Union College in Schenectady, New York on November 26, 1825 by a group of college students. Kappa Alpha was the first to combine aspects of secret Greek-letter societies, literary societies and formalized student social groups and is thus considered the first modern fraternity. Kappa Alpha is also the oldest secret collegiate society still in existence.
This organization is not to be confused with the Kappa Alpha Order, a completely separate (and much larger) fraternity that operates exclusively at schools in Southern and border states.
