The Alpha Beta Chapter
In 1919, Butler University founded a band of just 12 members. Ten years later, on May 31, the Alpha Beta chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi was born. For nearly a century, Alpha Beta has loyally supported the Butler Bands, and serves as a role model to others through its steadfast service and caring community.
The four pillars of Kappa Kappa Psi are musicianship, leadership, service, and brotherhood.
Musicianship
Musicianship in Kappa Kappa Psi begins with the appreciation of music as an art-form through the desire for the best in artistic performances, our
knowledge, skill, and artistic sensitivity. As brothers, we must support our fellow musicians through encouragement and helping weaker performers.
Service
Service is accomplished through the result of coordinated endeavors. The service component of Kappa Kappa Psi is vital to the very breadth of the organization. We exist in our current state due to the service nature of the fraternity to the college and university band programs.
Leadership
Leadership is a cornerstone to Kappa Kappa Psi, and brothers possess an agreeable and enthusiastic attitude
through the lessons learned in the ritual. As brothers we are more capable, more concerned, and more interested in the band program due to the proven dependability of the chapter.
Brotherhood
Brotherhood is part of a greater educational and service activity devoted to strengthening the team and individual into the best they can be. Our brotherhood requires optimism, enthusiasm, and a cooperative spirit. Through chapter and district events, our brotherhood grows and develops each year.
