5th Annual 1911 Cycle Fest
Join us on April 24-26
Smithfield Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated was chartered on March 26, 1966, in Smithfield, North Carolina. The chapter has been a staple in the community for 59 years, focusing on areas of education, mentorship, and scholarship. Our fraternity’s signature events include Guide Right, which focuses on mentorship, the Kappa Foundation to support scholarships, and our community service initiative, Healthy Kappas Healthy Communities, to promote physical fitness and healthy lifestyles. This annual event will help us support those endeavors.
