Vision

​

The Kappa Chapter Alumni Association (KCAA) is committed to lifelong engagement with Pi Kappa Alpha by:

​

  • Providing financial support for key initiatives, including the Walker-Claggett-Willhoite Memorial Fund and the Chris and Patsy Nielsen Memorial Scholarship, which help offset membership dues based on academic success.

  • Supporting members attending Pike University, which enhances chapter development and personal leadership skills.

  • Expanding KCAA membership through impactful events and programming.

  • Delivering bi-annual newsletters to keep alumni informed and connected.
