MOIP (Membership Orientation Intake
Program)
For men
seeking membership MOIP is the fraternity’s official program.
The Dallas Alumni Chapter of
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. seeks professional men who want
to be a part of an organization that gives back to the
community. The Chapter is predicated upon and dedicated to the
principles of Achievement in every field human endeavor.
We seek
men who serve as positive, role models within our communities
who can help accomplish the Goals and Objectives of the
Fraternity.
Selection
for membership is based solely upon mutuality of interest
between the prospective member and the Fraternity; academic
ability as reflected in scholastic accomplishment; loyalty to
school and country; a will to sociality; and commitment to the
demands of integrated living and learning.
A
person who feels he would do the Fraternity a favor by joining
is not worthy of membership.
No one who
holds himself superior to the Brotherhood of Kappa Alpha Psi is
worthy of this distinction.
Kappa Alpha Psi is not interested in the simple accumulation of
members and chapters. Its emphasis, however, is in the quality
and integrity of its membership.
Membership
quality manifests itself through an intangible element of
brotherhood we call that “Good Old Kappa Spirit”
The “Good
Old Kappa Spirit” is constructive, not destructive; dynamic, not
static; active not passive; progressive, not degenerative;
meaningful, not trivial.
Acceptable qualities of Kappa Alpha Psi members include:
- The
disposition to live in close companionship with men of similar
values.
- The
wisdom to abide by the will of the majority without sacrificing
individuality.
- The
discretion to refrain from destructive criticism while seeking
to remove the causes of such criticism.
- The
acceptance of responsibility for any effort that moves the group
forward.
- The
desire to strive for, and ultimately achieve, excellence in
everything you do.
- The
commitment to train for leadership.
- The
resolution to give lifelong financial support and commitment to
the maintenance and development of the Fraternity's
programs and purposes.
