The Fayetteville Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated was chartered on February 25, 1957, as the Fayetteville (NC) Alumni Chapter.

​

The ten charter members were Ernest E. Miller, Booker T. McNeil, James L. Hawkins, Vernon P. Trent, Jasper McMillian, Calvin T. Daniels, J. Edgar McMillian, Willie E. Currie, John T. Gibson, and C. Mason Quick. These pioneering Kappa men established a foundation of brotherhood, service, leadership and achievement that continues to guide the chapter today.

Fayetteville's close relationship with the United States military has long shaped the chapter's identity and membership. In the early 1980s, the chapter became the Fayetteville Fort Bragg Pope AFB Alumni Chapter, recognizing the many brothers serving at the area's military installations. Following changes to the local installations, the chapter's name evolved again before ultimately returning to its original identity as the Fayetteville (NC) Alumni Chapter.

​

Throughout its history, Fayetteville Alumni has included leaders from virtually every field of human endeavor. Its membership has included Past Middle Eastern Province Polemarch Melvin Pierce; Fayetteville Mayors Marshall Pitts and Mitch Colvin; District Court Judge Stephen Stokes; four-star General Dennis L. Via; General Kevin Vereen; educators, physicians, attorneys, business owners, university officials, government leaders, and generations of military officers and veterans. The chapter's tradition of civic leadership continues today, including members serving in prominent positions throughout Fayetteville and Cumberland County.

​

The chapter's impact is also permanently reflected in the Fayetteville educational community. E.E. Miller Elementary School was named in honor of charter member Ernest E. Miller, a former assistant superintendent of Fayetteville City Schools, while John Griffin Middle School honors Dr. John R. Griffin, a former Cumberland County Schools superintendent and member of the chapter.

​

Service remains central to the chapter's mission. Fayetteville Alumni has supported numerous community initiatives throughout the region, including recurring service at Martha's Table, community cleanups, charitable outreach, scholarships and youth-development programs. The chapter has also worked closely with the Epsilon Beta Chapter at Fayetteville State University and Rho Zeta Chapter at Methodist University, strengthening the bond between undergraduate and alumni members while serving the greater Fayetteville community.

​

The chapter continues its commitment to Guide Right and Kappa League, investing in the development of young men through mentorship, leadership training, educational programming, community service and preparation for adulthood. Through these programs and its partnership with the Fayetteville Metro Kappa Foundation, the chapter continues expanding its educational, charitable and community impact.
 

Today, nearly seven decades after its chartering, the Fayetteville (NC) Alumni Chapter continues the vision established by its ten charter members. From military service and civic leadership to education, mentorship, scholarship and community engagement, the chapter remains committed to the Fraternity's fundamental purpose of Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.
