Kappa League was founded on Thursday, February 12, 1969, by the Los Angeles Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., at Alain LeRoy Locke High School. Kappa League was adopted by the Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. at the 56th Grand Chapter, which was held August 12-15, 1970. The founders of the Kappa Instructional Leadership League were Mel L. Davis, an Elder Watson Diggs Awardee, and Edgar H. Bishop.
Under the chairmanship of Mel Davis, the Los Angeles Alumni Chapter’s Social Action Program took the form of a training activity for young men of the Alain Leroy Locke High School. Called the Kappa Instructional Leadership League, it was designed to help young men grow, receive, and develop their leadership talents in every phase of human endeavor. It provided both challenging and rewarding experiences, which richly enhanced their lives.
Membership was open to male students from the tenth through the twelfth grades. The fraternity aimed to help these young men achieve their goals and make constructive contributions to their community as they take on leadership roles.
The Alabaster- Pelham (AP) Kappa League began in 2011 and is not in any form a high school fraternity but is a leadership development program for the educational, occupational, and social guidance of male students in grades 9-12. AP Kappa Leaguers must maintain a 2.5 GPA per academic semester.
