It was the year of 2001, that 5 men made a lifetime dream come true. Kappa Psi Kappa Fraternity, Inc. was founded on August 17, 2001 in Tallahassee, FL by five Kaptivating Black Men. The fraternity was started by D. Sean Benjamin and Rollen Scarboro but were later joined by two others, Vermeil Haynes and John Manual. These men are the "Illustrious Elite" of Kappa Psi Kappa.



Those 4 men set out and started to organize the foundation of the fraternity based upon promoting the high ideals of Brotherhood, Scholarship, Service, and Leadership. It was then that during the last stages of organization, a small recruitment effort was executed. The 4 Illustrious Elite where joined by Robert Smith and completed the foundation of the fraternity and made the current 5 Illustrious Elite founders of Kappa Psi Kappa Fraternity, Inc.
