Brother - Pi Pledge Class

Sep 2018 - Present
Kappa Alpha Pi is Cornell University’s only selective pre-law fraternity. Dedicated to providing interested students information about the law school application process, law school, and the legal profession, Kappa Alpha Pi aims to facilitate interaction between brothers, individuals within the law profession, and the community as a whole. Kappa Alpha Pi pursues these goals by providing the membership with the opportunity to participate in events focused on law and service designed to help the community of law. Our programming ranges from development of pre-professional skills to preparation for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Brothers also participate in service and social events to foster friendship and camaraderie within the fraternity. Big-Little pairings and “families” within KAPi help strengthen the bonds of fraternalism that transcends normal friendships. The relationships that begin in the fraternity continue on throughout one's life.
