XI Omega Chapter
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc
a Brief History

    Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was the first black Greek organization on the campus of Furman 
University.  Brothers Preston Smith and Randy Eaddy (Furman University Board of Directors) were
among some of the first brothers on Furman's campus in the late 1970's.  Kappa Alpha Psi finally
returned to Furman's when Corey Leathers, Kevin Jackson, Bernard Scott, Chris Robertson, and 
Clayton Gibson were initiated at Gamma Nu at Clafflin College.  The Xi Omega chapter of Kappa 
Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc began February 13, 1994 with the initiation of these five brothers.  
These brothers came back to Furman University to build and promote the fundamental purpose of 
achievement and brotherhood for which the fraternity stands.  Since that time, the Xi Omega 
chapter at Furman University has grown and promoted the name of Kappa Alpha Psi through their 
many achievements.

    The Xi Omega chapter was chartered May 17, 1997 by Tyron Berrian, Mike Davis, Leroy Davies-Venn, 
Alykhan Dhanani, Kenny Generette, Clayton Gibson III, Kevin Jackson, Corey Leathers, Michael McNeil, 
Rico Perkins, Daniel Prophett, Christopher Robertson, Orlando Ruff, Bernard Scott, Troy Strappy, 
and RandyWilliams.
