About
Kappa Alpha Order has six main pillars that we all live by. You can read more about them below. We also have two mottos we follow: "Dieu Et Les Dames" and "Frateres Usque Ad Aram Fidelis."
"Dieu Et Les Dames"
Our primary motto is French for "For God and for women." This motto demonstrates our reverence for the Almighty and our reverence for the purity of women. As gentlemen of The Order, it is imperative that we never forget either of these crucial aspects of our values.
"Frateres Usque Ad Aram Fidelis"
Our secondary motto is Latin for "Brothers faithful until death." This motto demonstrates that Kappa Alpha is not just a brotherhood for the duration of your college experience, but is a lifelong fellowship.
