Kappa Kappa Psi Creed
We, the brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi, believe that service to the college
or university band program fosters responsibility, loyalty, and leadership;
that a spirit of the brotherhood is enhanced by the participation in a
band program; that music is a universal language and truly the greatest
of the arts; and that through fraternal participation, each member will
strive for the highest.
