About Us

Called the Kappa Instructional Leadership League, it was designed to help young men grow, receive, and develop their leadership talents in every phase of human endeavor. It provided both challenging and rewarding experiences, which richly enhanced their lives.

Membership was open to male students from the tenth through the twelfth grades. The fraternity sought to help these young men to achieve worthy goals for themselves and make constructive contributions to their community when leadership roles become the responsibility.

How to Support

The best way to support National Kappa League is to donate to our Kappa Foundation’s Capital Campaign.

There are countless studies and projections that say the future job market will be dominated by STEM-related jobs. At the same time, the number of workers who possess professional trade skills is shrinking. We are embarking on this Capital Campaign to impact much-needed change in our communities.

We must be the change agent that we want to see and give funds to those projects that will positively impact our communities. If not us, then who?
