FAMU Kappas Donate $247,000 to Florida A&M University
On April 22, 1933, Leonard Walker, Sylvester Beasley, James Joyner and George Nairn founded the Alpha Xi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity on the campus of Florida A&M University. Since that day, the Kappas at FAMU have achieved in every field of human endeavor. Some of the most prominent educators, businessmen, entertainers and professionals have been trained for leadership at FAMU.
This chapter of achievers has always seen it as their duty to give the next generation of achievers as many resources as possible to keep the legacy of excellence alive.
This was evident when the Alpha Xi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi donated over $247,000 to the University at homecoming.
The mission of the Alpha Xi Gives scholarship initiative is to bring together current and alumni members of the Alpha Xi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. to raise money for Florida A&M University scholarships.
The 5-year goal of Alpha Xi Gives is to raise $1 million for FAMU scholarships by the 90th anniversary in 2023.
As of October 9, 2019, the Alpha Xi Gives campaign has raised $248K in donations and funded pledges for FAMU scholarships from 112 Alpha Xi alumni, lines, the chapter and supporters since launching in October 2018.
Alpha Xi Gives launched five new FAMU scholarships for the 2019-20 academic year and the campaign established an endowed scholarship fund at FAMU, making the Alpha Xi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. the only male fraternal organization on campus with an endowed fund.
