By following Boh's example, we will teach and inspire others, as he taught and inspired our Founding Fathers.

Respect
Respect for others is a cornerstone of Kappa Kappa Psi. Our diverse membership is an asset that cannot be taken for granted. Using this strength to our advantage requires respect for others and their points of view. In return, we earn the respect from others by treating them as equals.
Loyalty
