Zero Tolerance for Hazing
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated has a zero-tolerance policy toward hazing. The Lewes (DE) Alumni Chapter fully upholds the highest standards of brotherhood, safety, and dignity in every membership and chapter activity — hazing in any form is strictly prohibited.
Hazing has no place in Kappa Alpha Psi. Membership in this fraternity is a privilege earned through an official, national intake process — not through any form of physical, mental, or emotional abuse, humiliation, or coercion. To reinforce this standard, the Fraternity developed an admissions process known as the Membership Training Academy (MTA), which replaced traditional pledging with a structured, hazing-free path to membership. Every brother of the Lewes (DE) Alumni Chapter is expected to uphold this standard at all times.
What This Means
- No brother, chapter, or member may plan, participate in, or condone any act of hazing, as defined by the Fraternity's national policy and applicable state and federal law.
- Membership intake is conducted exclusively through the Membership Training Academy (MTA), the official process administered by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated at the national level.
- Any violation of the Fraternity's anti-hazing policy is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including suspension or expulsion from the Fraternity.
- The Lewes (DE) Alumni Chapter cooperates fully with the national organization and law enforcement in the investigation of any reported hazing incident.
