The Importance of Recruiting Quality Members.
One of the most essential factors determining the continued success of the Chapter and the Fraternity, is the recruitment of new members. As college students, our tenure as an active member is limited. Therefore, we need to recognize the importance of bringing new individuals into Kappa Kappa Psi. Recruiting new members ensures that the Chapter and the Fraternity will continue to grow and thrive after we graduate and move on.
While initiating more Brothers to the ranks of Kappa Kappa Psi is important, it is equally important, if not more so, to ensure that we recruit quality members. Therefore, our focus should be on selecting men and women who demonstrate themselves to be outstanding band members. New members should build upon current chapter strengths and increase the leadership potential not only within the chapter, but also the band program.
Remember that choosing new members involves an investment of time, resources, and goodwill. Choosing new members carefully maintains a high level of quality, and often saves time and resources in the long run. Therefore, the Chapter should develop a recruiting plan to identify outstanding individuals for invitation into Kappa Kappa Psi.
Fraternal Code of Conduct
Brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi are looked to as role models and leaders by other members in the band and on campus. We can never know who is watching our actions or who will be affected by our deeds. It is therefore essential that we present positive qualities at all times. Being a Brother is not a part time commitment. As such, the example we set should shine constantly to inspire others. The following qualities define Brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi. These qualities described Bohumil Makovsky, our Guiding Spirit. By following Boh's example, we will teach and inspire others, as he taught and inspired our Founding Fathers.
HonorBrothers should conduct themselves with honor at all times. Our service to college and university bands serves as an example to others. We should take pride in these accomplishments and not let anything tarnish our honorable reputation.
Integrity
The character of our brotherhood is based upon the principles of decency and sincerity. Our impeccable integrity lets others know we can always be trusted to keep our word.
Respect
Respect for others is a cornerstone of Kappa Kappa Psi. Our diverse membership is an asset that cannot be taken for granted. Using this strength to our advantage requires respect for others and their points of view. In return, we earn the respect from others by treating them as equals
Loyalty
Service to band programs and the Fraternity require people who are devoted to those organizations. Working together is the key to achieving our goals. Being loyal and dependable is therefore essential to our success.
