(KAΨ) is the crystallization of a dream and the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late revered Founders. Early in the 20th century, African-American students were actively dissuaded from attending college. Formidable obstacles were erected to prevent the few who were enrolled from assimilating into co-curricular campus life. This ostracism characterized Indiana University in
1911, thus causing Elder Watson Diggs, Byron K. Armstrong, and eight other black students to form Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, which remains the only Greek letter organization with its 1st Chapter on the University's campus. The founders sought a formula that would immediately raise the sights of black collegians and stimulate them to accomplishments higher than they might have imagined. Fashioning achievement as it's purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began uniting college men of culture, patriotism and honor in a bond of fraternity. Founded: January 5, 1911

Today, Iota Delta has an active membership of 17 men who are constantly striving to uphold the fraternity's fundamental purpose and objectives. Iota Delta, in its 30-year history, has exemplified the ideals of the Fraternity through Phi Nu Pi, through the achievements of the Chapter as a whole, and through the individual achievements of its Brothers.
