The nationally recognized Kappa Beautillion (pronounced bō-til’yen) Militaire was developed as a local response to The Guide Right Program, which is a national service directive of Kappa Alpha Psi. Since its inception in 1976, this program has become a landmark experience for those who have participated and has since been adopted by a multitude of other Kappa alumni chapters across the country.
The Kappa Beautillion exists to provide extra-curricular educational experiences to Columbia-area junior and senior high school males. The eight-month program, which takes place outside the regular classroom environment, complements the normal educational exposure the participants receive.
The Kappa Beautillion program is designed to enhance the participant’s academic and social maturity. We need your help identifying young men who would be interested in participating. The
Kappa Beautillion Program consists of a series of workshops including SAT Prep, social etiquette training, health awareness, financial literacy, sporting and cultural events. It is designed to instill values that result in academic excellence and strong leadership skills in young men.
