History
On October 9th, 2007, a visionary group of pre-law students at the University of Michigan established Kappa Alpha Pi (KAPi), a fraternity dedicated to promoting academic excellence, professional development, and a close-knit community for aspiring legal professionals. These students sought to create an organization that would better address the unique needs of those pursuing careers in law, fostering both personal growth and career readiness.
Since its founding, KAPi has grown into a prestigious national fraternity with an impressive network of 46 chapters at renowned institutions across the United States, including Georgetown University, UC Berkeley, and Cornell University. Over the years, Kappa Alpha Pi Nationals has significantly expanded its capabilities, offering members invaluable opportunities such as scholarships, internships, and access to a thriving network of dedicated individuals committed to excellence in the legal profession.
Hopefully soon, Vanderbilt University will become newest member of this esteemed organization. Motivated by a desire for greater opportunities and resources tailored to their goals, Vanderbilt students joined Kappa Alpha Pi, marking the fraternity as the leading pre-law and government fraternity on campus. The Vanderbilt chapter hopefully will provide tangible professional development opportunities and fosters a genuine network of academically excellent individuals, uniting them with thousands of KAPi members nationwide.
