Chapter History

Epsilon Iota Chapter

The Epsilon Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order at Texas State University was founded in 1979. Since its establishment, the chapter has been dedicated to developing men of character through leadership, scholarship, service, and lifelong brotherhood while upholding the values and traditions of Kappa Alpha Order. Today, the Epsilon Iota Chapter has grown into a respected organization on the Texas State campus.

Like many long-standing organizations, the Epsilon Iota Chapter has experienced periods of growth, challenge, and renewal. Through the commitment of both undergraduate members and alumni, the chapter has continued to build upon its legacy while adapting to the evolving needs of Texas State University and its students.

Today, the Epsilon Iota Chapter proudly carries forward the traditions established by those who came before us. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on preparing future generations of leaders, strengthening lifelong friendships, serving our community, and honoring the values that have guided Kappa Alpha Order.
