What is KAPi?
Founded on October 7th, 2007 at the University of Michigan, Kappa Alpha Pi is a national, co-ed pre-professional fraternity for students interested in legal, government, and public policy careers. In its many chapters at universities across the country, KAPi fosters a close-knit community of students pursuing similar academic and professional goals.
Emory University is privileged to be home to KAPi’s Xi Chapter. KAPi at Emory is open to undergraduates in all majors and areas of study, from the College of Arts and Sciences to the Business School. We are determined to cultivate a rigorously diverse and intellectually curious group of students who are eager to explore a wide variety of paths, stay open to new opportunities, and help their fellow brothers along the way!
Our Three Pillars
-
Professional development is integral to our initiation of each new member class as well as an ongoing process for current brothers. To accomplish the highest form of professional standards, our executive team coaches brothers through resumé building, networking, internship applications, and other career-related necessities. With a broad alumni network of former brothers at some of the nation’s premier law institutions – Harvard Law School, Columbia Law School, and New York University Law School – as well an ample database of resources and frequent invited speaker events, we aim to give our brothers every they need to succeed in understanding the professional world of law.

Kappa is derived from the Greek word “κακουχία,” or “hardship,” which signifies the reminder of the challenges each brother faces throughout their academic and professional journies. Alpha is derived from the Greek word “αδελφότητα,” or “brotherhood,” which honors the strong bonds of friendship, community, and shared determination between our brothers. Pi is derived from the Greek word “πρόοδο,” or “progress,” which represents the fraternity’s dedication to growth, improvement, and professional development of its brothers.
As the Xi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Pi, we are determined to foster a tight-knit community between both our active brothers and our alumni. With dinners, social traditions, big/little programs, service events, and many more unique practices, we create ample opportunities for bonding and friendship between all of our brothers. We are one big KAPi family!

As a professional organization whose goal is to develop the next generation of law leaders, philanthropy is a central component of our work as a fraternity. Our brothers are deeply committed to bettering the Emory and Atlanta communities, and we have numerous opportunities every semester to engage in volunteer work. We also regularly connect with organizations around the Atlanta metropolitan area to help brothers discover public service career opportunities, ensuring that the next generation of leadership starts with the Xi Chapter.
