Get the Alpha Kappa Alpha mug.One of the foremost fraternities in today's greek community. It was founded in 1914 at UC Berkeley by a group of men who believed in the five ideals of AKL. Judeo-Christian Principles, Leadership, Scholarship, Loyalty, and Self-Support. The men of Alpha Kappa Lambda take pride in their academics and participate in multiple philanthropies. However, they also know how to throw one heck of a party. You should have been there for halloween this year at Kappa Chapter... just sayin'.
"Mom, Dad, I know you don't really want me to join a fraternity, but have you checked out Alpha Kappa Lambda? They have the 5th highest GPA average out of 40 fraternities at Purdue, and they do all sorts of philanthropies. I really think this would add to my college experience."
DUDE! that party last week at Alpha Kappa Lambda was SIIIIICK! There must have been 2000 people there!

Get the Knappaphiliac mug.Kappa Tau Mu (KTM) is one of the seven secret societies established at Boston College. The society was founded in the fall of 1908, the founders were never revealed. It was formally established to enhance the promotion of spirit throughout the campus. The underground society flourished in the early 1980’s, but slowly died out due to their harsh hazing methods. Gradually Kappa Tau Mu began to reappear in the campuses of Virginia Tech, The University of South Carolina, Penn State University, and The University of California at Santa Barbara. Increasingly, the society is emerging at other campuses, all over the United States. Their colors, purple, black, and orange officially represented the revolution of the university. They leave their droppings throughout campuses and are said to be very lucky. Although not much is known, Kappa Tau Mu is continuing to prosper throughout the college grounds, keeping the pride and tradition alive.
