It formed the Beta chapter of Kappa Alpha Pi.[7]Similarly, the Theta chapter at University of California, Davis also formed from a pre-existing Phi Alpha Delta chapter.[8]Although the fraternity expanded to other campuses, each chapter follows the model of the Alpha chapter.[9] Each chapter has an executive board that leads the fraternity and its pledge classes.[10]Symbols and traditionsThe Kappa Alpha Pi crest features a shield decorated with a gavel, the Book of Knowledge, and a torch that symbolize law and justice.[11] At the base of the shield is a scroll with the fraternity's name.[11] Above the shield is the Wreath of Victory and a phoenix which represents the fraternity's history.[11]The fraternity's colors are navy blue, symbolizing harmony and steadfastness, and silver which symbolizes intelligence, maturity, modesty, and security.[11] Its pillars are professionalism, philanthropy, and brotherhood.[12][13]ActivitiesChapters hold weekly or bi-weekly meetings with guest speakers. Individual chapters plan their own campus programs and offer assistance with preparing for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and law school application, host resume workshops, and offer mentorship programs with law school students. The fraternity also does philanthropic work, such as fundraising for local charities and partnering with legal clinics and legal aid nonprofit organizations.[6] Local chapters independently create their own recruitment processes, but most chapters have some rush and pledge process rush and pledge process modeled after social greek sororities and fraternities.Collegiate chaptersFollowing is a list of Kappa Alpha Pi chapters.
