Kappa Psi
Auburn University
 

Kappa Psi fraternity was founded on May 30, 1879 at the Russell Military Academy in New Haven, Connecticut. Initially, it was a literary Greek-letter society which evolved into a medical-pharmaceutical fraternity and continued as such until 1924. At that time, by mutual agreement, the members of both professions decided to separate into two distinct groups. The medical group became Theta Kappa Psi. The pharmaceutical group retained the name Kappa Psi.

 

Today, Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity has over 45,000 members, 75 collegiate chapters at colleges and universities throughout the United States, and 42 graduate chapters in various cities and states. Many men and women prominent in pharmaceutical circles, both locally and nationally, are members of Kappa Psi. Thousands of Kappa Psi members are actively serving in all areas of their chosen professions: in teaching, research, colleges, industry, U.S. public health service, the armed forces and government agencies, as well as in hospital and community pharmacy. One will find Kappa Psi brothers in every state and in almost every important city in the country as well as foreign countries.

The Delta Gamma chapter of Kappa Psi pharmaceutical fraternity in Auburn was installed in 1963. Presently, there are over 120 brothers associated with Kappa Psi at Auburn. Kappa Psi is highly involved in many social and service activities.


Delta Gamma is proud its wide variety of service projects which include health fairs, Habitat for Humanity, sponsored birthday parties for Boykin Adult Day Care Center, and Relay for Life. One of the largest social events is the Spring Formal which is held with the Kappa Psi chapter from Samford University. We have various social activities throughout the school year including many themed socials, dinners, and annual trips to province meetings located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.


Kappa Psi brothers enjoy the distinction of having attained the highest GPA of any fraternity in Pharmacy School for the last six years. Because Kappa Psi is a professional fraternity, all the benefits of fraternal affiliation are made available which foster opportunities for attainment of greater competency and achievement within the profession of pharmacy. Members of a professional fraternity usually find a closer relationship with faculty members, alumni members, and practitioners. It is the objective of Kappa Psi to foster a spirit of professionalism among its members and, through its professional programs, supply the intellectual stimulus that is so essential in pursuing college work in pharmacy. Being a professional means being involved. Kappa Psi members are actively involved in all facets of the School of Pharmacy, having representatives in all major organizations including Student Council, Phi Lambda Sigma, ASP, ASHP and Rho Chi.

Members of Kappa Psi are selected on the basis of personal qualifications, and no person may be precluded from membership because of race, creed, religious belief, or sex.
