KA | Zeta Pi Chapter

Kappa Alpha Order at FGCU was started in the Fall of 2003 as a provsional chapter. After a few years of intense struggle and hard work, the fruits of their labor finally emerged - Zeta Pi became officially chartered into KA. The chapter was initiated on April 8, 2005 and was fully installed as the Zeta Pi chapter of Kappa Alpha Order on April 10, 2005.

"Kappa Alpha Order is a collegiate order of Christian knights. The Order was founded December 21, 1865 at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia. The four founding fathers, James Ward Wood, William Nelson Scott, Stanhope McLelland Scott, and William Archibald Walsh were influenced by Robert E. Lee, who was the school's president following the American Civil War, and formed the Kappa Alpha Order. The Order was kept alive by Samuel Zenas Ammen in subsequent years and the chapter spread throughout the Southern United States. Up until recent times it remained a distinctly Southern fraternity, another factor which separated it from the northern-based Kappa Alpha Society. There are now chapters of the Order in the West and North."
