PROJECT OUTREACH

At the heart of the code of chivalry and the fabric of KA is service to others. KAs aim to serve those in need as students and citizens through community service, volunteerism, and philanthropy.

Into The Streets

Into the Streets is a national community service project, sponsored by the Campus Outreach Opportunity League, designed to bring campus groups together to perform hands-on community service. KA was the first national fraternity to incorporate the Into the Streets experience into an annual meeting, the National Leadership Institute. Today, we are going to volunteer our time at several different places in the community.

The Independence Fund

In 2016, the Zeta Phi Chapter at High Point University partnered with The Independence Fund and began a student-led initiative aimed at raising money to provide Track Chairs for wounded veterans. Since then, KA chapters across the nation have raised nearly $1,000,000 and have given away more than a dozen track chairs. Visit KappaAlphaOrder.org/Independence-Fund for more information.

Operation Crimson Gift

Operation Crimson Gift is a nationwide blood drive within the Order. Your chapter’s event can take place during the spring or fall semesters. Blood drives are usually organized several times during the year within your community or college campus. Take advantage of local blood drives or plan a Kappa Alpha sponsored campus-wide event. In the spirit of competition, the Knight Commander will be awarding the Knight Commander’s Cup to the chapter displaying an outstanding level of participation. All chapters reaching 100% participation no matter the size of the chapter, will be recognized and included in the Crimson Gift Century Society.

We know each of your chapters have unique endeavors and groups you support locally. The Order supports these following causes as worthy endeavors true to our values and those of the Order, as well as relevant to our membership:

• Support a women’s shelter or any other women’s safety program in your local community

• Raise funds for Septembeard, an effort aimed at eradicating prostate cancer
