KAPPA LEAGUE Soon after Kappa League’s adoption as an official auxiliary of Guide Right in 1970, the Atlanta Kappa League began to leave an indelible mark on the lives of youth throughout the Metro Atlanta area. One of the Kappa League founders and 8th Editor of The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal , of AAC, Mel Davis, left a lasting effect on the Atlanta Kappa League, and his presence is still felt today. The Atlanta Kappa League currently has a roster of
over 150 young men. Its capstone pro- gram, the Senior Academy, seeks to fill any gaps, both academically and socially, so that our young men can attain success through their college matriculation. The 2024 senior class earned over $7.7 million in scholarship offers, over 1,250 hours of community service, and has an average GPA of just over 3.7, making them the model of achievement through the Atlanta Alumni Kappa League’s 50 years of existence. ♦
