List of Kappa Kappa Psi members

This is a list of Kappa Kappa Psi brothers, commonly referred to as Psis, and includes undergraduate and honorary members of Kappa Kappa Psi (ΚΚΨ), national honorary fraternity for college bandmembers. Kappa Kappa Psi was founded on November 27, 1919, at Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Kappa Kappa Psi became a coeducational organization in 1977, and at the national convention in 1989, the fraternity voted to call all members "brothers" regardless of sex or gender.^[1]

There are currently 210 active chapters out of 314 chapters that have been chartered since 1919 and 7 colonies.^[2]
