Kappa Kappa Psi
National Alumni Program
Mission: The National Alumni Program of Kappa Kappa Psi is dedicated to supporting the Fraternity. Recognizing that the band experience should continue after graduation, the National Alumni Program will focus its efforts on connecting and enriching members from the past, present, and future of college and university bands; promoting lifelong involvement with band; and enhancing the long-term growth and financial viability of Kappa Kappa Psi.
Key Aspects
The National Alumni Program was developed to provide a multifaceted approach to alumni involvement within the Fraternity. We acknowledge the importance of all alumni and honorary members of the Fraternity and seek to provide avenues for meaningful experiences for all. Thus, participation in the alumni program may take on a number of forms:
- General Alumni Membership
- Alumni Association Membership
- Life Membership Application
- Local Alumni Association Membership
- Giving to Kappa Kappa Psi
General alumni membership is automatic upon graduation (or otherwise leaving school) for active, associate, and conditional members in good standing. These members will have access to Fraternity alumni networking resources, receive Fraternity News emails, and be invited to participate in conventions and special events targeted to alumni such as professional workshops and symposia. All alumni members are encouraged to participate at local levels and are eligible to participate in local alumni associations. Of course, alumni members may also choose to take advantage of the other levels of involvement listed above.
In order to help the Fraternity continue to make these benefits available to you, please be sure to update your contact information regularly.

It consists of a number of at-large alumni members, a college band director representative, and a liaison to the Kappa Kappa Psi Board of Trustees.
