Guide Right/Kappa League

Guide Right "Training for Leadership since 1911"

Guide Right is the fraternity's national social outreach program which began in 1922. Programs provide workshops, role models, mentors, and financial assistance for at risk youth in communities throughout the country. The San Diego Alumni Chapter supports Guide Right in two ways, Kappa League and through our scholarship program.

Kappa League. Kappa League involves African American male youth between the ages of 11-17 in bi-weekly after school workshops. The workshops include from self-esteem, etiquette, college preparation, family and academic success. The workshops are facilitated by members of the chapter and the greater San Diego community. The program occurs from October to April annually and culminates with a banquet.


Our Guide Right program works in conjunction with the San Diego Unified School District.  This includes mentoring and role model programs at elementary, middle and high school levels. The San Diego Alumni Chapter proudly supports enhanced  instruction with emphasis on the following areas including: career education guidance, social skills, computer technical skills, field trips and mentoring for academic achievement. Our student scholarship applicants go through a rigorous interview process and are the best and brightest African-American young men in San Diego County. The Chapter has awarded young African-American Males Scholarships totaling over $100,000 to date and the Chapter has also made monetary contributions to deserving Undergraduate Brothers at the Delta Epsilon Chapter, San Diego State University. The Undergraduate Collegiate contribution is named in honor of Honorable Napoleon Jones, U.S. Federal Court Judge who was a Delta Epsilon initiate.
