Number I’s Leadership Institute
The Number I’s Leadership Institute is an intensive informational and educational retreat set at an upscale Christian conference center. The facility and premises are alcohol free which provides a learning atmosphere for the intense two and a half day conference. The focus of the Institute is to educate and empower the Number I’s to understand their role and responsibility as the chapter’s highest elected officer, recognize the tools and support systems provided, and to understand the standards and policies of operating an active chapter of Kappa Alpha Order.
Emerging Leaders Academy ( Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow )
The Emerging Leaders Academy provides our future leadersthe opportunity to increase their knowledge base about basic chapter operations, leadership, and how to implement a positive change in their chapter.
The Academy provides a different learning experience where we will bring the sessions out of the classroom and into the streets of Lexington. Imagine learning about the ritual in the very room Kappa Alpha Order was founded or learn more about Samuel Zenas Ammen at his gravesite. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about George C. Marshall at his museum.
Can you think of a better place to learn more about Robert E. Lee than Lee Chapel? The Academy is an exciting new program available to any interested Kappa Alpha seeking to learn more about The Order for the betterment of their chapter.
Province Councils
Every spring, regional meetings across country take place to educate our members, elect Province Commanders and Province Undergraduate Chairmen, and to discuss the business of each province. One-third of our undergraduate members participate in this training covering leadership, risk management, recruitment, The Crusade, No. VI Track, ritual, scholarship, member education, and personal development. KA Laws 7-215 state that all nine officers are required to attend unless excused by the Province Commander. It is also a Crusade Guideline for the Crusade Commander to attend.
Crusade RoundTable The Crusade RoundTable - Another unique aspect of The Crusade is The RoundTable experience, which is an intensive educational immersion into the Crusade program. Held in Lexington, Virginia, the four day program is designed to educate and motivate the ‘Crusade Commanders’, undergraduate brothers who are responsible for overseeing and ensuring the success of the program in their chapter. Conducted in similar fashion to the actual Crusade program, The RoundTable provides an opportunity for brothers from around the country to live through a well executed Crusade experience with the help of the national staff, a member of the Executive Council, and Greek advisors. The program is sponsored by Kappa Alpha Order through the support of the Educational Foundation.
