As a result of this partnership, we were able to gain the full support of the Academy to allow Brother Adams, Brother Calloway and future cadets the opportunity to become Kappa Men. This is a win-win for both Kappa Alpha Psi ® and the Air Force Academy as it provides both the opportunity to strengthen their platforms which are fully focused toward Service and Lead- ership. I look forward to seeing the great things to come as this partnership is strengthened and continues to grow.”
