Why CGA?
CGA fosters a bond like no other! Each of the gentlemen in our chapter have a dynamic story that perfectly contributes to the mold of our existence. In this chapter, no one man's “voice” is higher or more important than another. We Are ALL Brothers!
We seek to ensure that every brother is heard, respect is given and that the “Bond” continues to thrive. Staying focused on “Achievement,” CGA endeavors to continue to evolve as a body, in an effort to be better equip brothers for the community we serve.
This amongst endless other reasons is "WHY CGA!"

Leave No Brother Behind
The motto “Leave No Brother Behind” was originally created by the 33rd Grand Polemarch, Thomas L.
Battles Jr. His belief was that we should not turn our backs on those brothers that misfortune has
beseeched them, instead we should find a way to make things right with them. When we created the
idea of chartering a chapter, our precept was that any brother that is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi
should have a way to re-engage with our fraternity. Upon our chartering our chapter immediately
championed Brother Past Grand Polemarch’s vision by reaching out to fraternity members in the
Northeast Texas area to show them that Kappa had not abandoned them. Through our efforts, we have
welcomed multiple members back to Kappa via reclamation and re-engagement since our chartering in
March of 2020 prior to the pandemic. Our first goal is to bring like-minded men together in a bond of
fraternity that will help facilitate the programs and vision of the fraternity. We have instilled
programming to refresh reclaimed members on the business of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and
build a synergy that will make it easier to stay involved. We know that coming back to Kappa is not easy,
but we want each member to know we will “Leave No Brother Behind.”
