• Phase I – Self-identity (discipline, assurance, awareness, and appearance)

• Phase II – Training (academic, career choice, preparation, and organization)

• Phase III – Competition (politics, career advancement, and sports)

• Phase IV – Social (religion, the arts, entertainment, conversation, communication, etiquette, and manners)

• Phase V – Health education (physical fitness, sex education, drugs, and health and safety)

 

Various Kappa Alpha Psi alumni chapters maintain individual Kappa League programs.
