Robert E. Lee
A true gentleman, the last gentle knight, Robert E. Lee was and still is a man to be admired.
While Kappa Alphas never claimed that Robert Edward Lee was an initiated member of the Order, we do rejoice his noble life. We are immensely proud and honored that his ideals were woven into KA's soul.
It is difficult to define greatness, but a great man is easily recognized. Kappa Alphas have no trouble seeing that Lee was indeed a great man. He was great in heart, mind, will, and character. Just as he once trained and educated men at the United States Military Academy, in the US Army, and at Washington College, his legacy continues this work today. Death has only added to his stature; he molds men now more than ever. The fingerprints are on our motto, his ethics are the focus of our service, and his ideals are in our blood. He is forever woven into the fabric of our conduct and conscience.
