William Capehart, Thomas Conway, Sr., Dr. Cecil Haliburton, Leonard B. Hardie, Harry Gil-Smythe, Glenwood Jones, W.M. Perry, William T. “Buddy” Stroud, Dr. M. Watts, and L.L. Woods came together to form the Raleigh Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.

These men, who were professionals, educators, businessmen, and community leaders, helped carry on a great concept which manifests itself in the ..."idea that if we are going to be brothers, let us be brothers on the best terms that we know; if we are going to bind ourselves together, let it be around something that is strong enough to hold us; if we are going to sing, let us sing about something that will have a lasting refrain; if we drink a toast, let it be of something beyond the trivial and the vulgar; let us exalt the theme of achievement.

Reliance would be placed upon high Christian ideals and the purpose of honorable achievement in every field of human endeavor.
