Kappa Alpha Order-Nu Chapter
Auburn University Chapter – Building brotherhood, character, and leadership through tradition, service, and academic excellence since our founding.
History
Kappa Alpha Order was founded in 1865 at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia, by James Ward Wood, William Archibald Walsh, and William Nelson Scott. Their vision was to create an order of men modeled after the highest ideals of gentlemanly character and Christian values.
The Nu Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order was established at Auburn University in 1883, making it one of the oldest fraternities on campus. Since then, Nu Chapter has been an influential part of Auburn’s Greek life for over 140 years. Our alumni have gone on to become leaders in business, public service, and the Auburn community.
Today, Nu Chapter continues to uphold KA’s traditions of honor, integrity, leadership, scholarship, and service, preparing its members to be Auburn men of character who leave a lasting impact on their university and beyond.
A Letter From Our President
Carrying forward the values of Kappa Alpha Order at Auburn University.
As the spring semester continues, Kappa Alpha Order – Nu Chapter remains the most competitive, adaptive, high-functioning, and influential Greek organization on campus. With 214 members strong, we are committed to recruiting men who embody the core values of the Order. This semester, we have planned an Operation Crimson Gift blood drive in partnership with the Alabama Red Cross.
Additionally, we are hosting multiple philanthropy events to raise funds for a track chair donation to a wounded veteran. We have partnered with Alabama’s Alpha Beta Chapter to present these track chairs to honored veterans during the 2025 Iron Bowl. Our brothers continue to pursue leadership across campus, holding prestigious positions in organizations such as FMA, SGA, and the Interfraternity Council, as well as serving in various honor societies and academic organizations.
As summer approaches, we encourage any recommendations for potential new members to reach out. We also invite you to stop by, tour the house’s recent renovations, and meet the brothers. I am honored to serve as Number I and look forward to an amazing year on the Plains
