Mission As a Brother of Kappa Pi Beta, I will strive hard to further the existence of this great fraternity. I will do my best to bring forth a bond of unity to all of my fellow Brothers that will stand the test of time. Along with the close relationships that are built, I pledge to promote academic excellence, brotherhood, cultural awareness, social mobility, philanthropy, gentlemen values, and respect towards the individual and community. Regardless of the letters I wear, what organizations I am in, or national origin, I will set the example that unity is the ultimate beginning of Brotherhood. I will use these attributes as development of my character and retain them even beyond my years of higher learning.VisionThrough the practices of respect and etiquette, a GENTLEMAN of Kappa Pi Beta will adopt an agenda that proactively seeks to defy the stereotypes of the typical fraternity and create the ideals of unity within the community. By these premises, a stronger voice in representation among Asian Americans will generate.PurposeThe Kappa Pi Beta Fraternity is an Asian American-founded service and social fraternity dedicated to the needs of the community alongside a commitment of higher learning, the promotion of the traditional Asian values of respect and discipline, and the overall essence of unity among all people of different background.Philanthropy Asian Americans are generally not seen as overweight compared to the rest of the U.S. population. However, they are actually at a greater risk of developing diabetes, as Asian Americans often develop diabetes at a lower BMI. Furthermore, Asian Americans have the highest proportion of undiagnosed diabetes among all ethnic and racial groups (at 51 percent). Currently, 60% of the world diabetic population is Asian. Our Fraternity seeks to actively educate and work with the American Diabetes Association, through volunteering and fundraising, to build awareness and combat this growing concern among our community. American Diabetes AssociationThe American Diabetes Association is a United States-based association working to fight the consequences of diabetes and to help those affected by diabetes and as Brothers of Kappa Pi Beta Fraternity, Inc. we actively partake in the ADA’s events and make semi-annual donations from our Chapters.Fraternal FactsMotto: Unity is the Beginning of BrotherhoodColors: Red, Black, Charcoal GreyFraternal Classification: Social and ServiceMascot: PhoenixFounding Date: March 16, 2000Founding Campus: Northern Illinois UniversityCharter Date: November 16, 2019 FALL 2021 RUSH INTEREST FORM: https://forms.gle/R1iQqoiVq2kLh38u5
