Why is it called "The Order?"

KA is not a typical fraternity because we are an Order. A fraternity will break a man down to rebuild him to become the perfect brother. An Order finds men who already meet the requirement to be a good brother. KA isn’t the stereotypical “Animal House” greek organization in that we don’t believe in hazing, irreverence, or (as some brothers describe) general “douchebaggery.” If you despise the “frat boy” image but still want a sense of brotherhood, KA may be a perfect fit.

How much does it cost?

After you are initiated, out-of-house brothers pay $___ to cover all the activities, and in-house brothers pay ~$_____ for rent, utilities, and other activities.

Do we have a house?

We are currently livng in apartments on Grant St. Most brothers would agree that living together is the the best way to make the most out of your time at Purdue. The cost of living in the apartments is similar in cost to the dorms. If you would like to have a tour or information on our housing, please let us know!

What is the time commitment like?

Many of our brothers have asked this question for a good reason! As all of us are busy, we only require a few events, such as a one hour meeting every week. As new members, you will have a new member education meeting every week as well. We have many other events throughout the year, but we understand when you have prior obligations. In fact, we encourage our brothers to be active in many organizations. As students at purdue, Academics are our sole priority.

Is there a grade requirement?

KA requires a GPA of 3.0. We’ve averaged a GPA of at least _.__ most of our years at Purdue and rank in the Top __ fraternities at Purdue. Our academics are at the forefront of our beliefs and we strive to make sure every brother is doing well. If you ever need help in any class, chances are one of the brothers has already taken it and will be eager to help you succeed. Don’t think you major isn’t represented, we have a wide variety of majors from Engineering to Management to Liberal Arts.

What is the social life like?

KA is nationally a social fraternity, and we are no exception. We’ve maintain strong ties to a number of sororities and co-ops, as well as other fraternities, and always set aside time to have fun. Whether you are a social butterfly or have been an introvert, KA provides many opportunites to network, make new friends, and have a great time while you are at Purdue.

Can anyone join?

Anyone is encouraged to check KA out to see if you belong with the gentlemen of the Order. Our recruitment is ongoing and we always welcome a new face. If the brothers agree that you are a gentleman and a scholar, we would love to have you join our ranks. The brothers come from all walks of life, races, and religious thoughts, and we like it that way! Our main requirement is, as our Spiritual Founder Robert E. Lee said: that all men should be a gentleman.
