KAPPA ALPHA PI
PRE-LAW PROFESSIONAL FRATERNITY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS - URBANA CHAMPAIGN
INVITATION
Kappa Alpha Pi (KAP) is The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s first co-ed, professional, pre-law fraternity. Since its inception in January 2019, our fraternity has strived to educate its members about law school and prepare them for a successful future. Our fraternity is built on three pillars: professionalism, service, and brotherhood. These pillars are intended to educate members, foster connections, and to serve our greater community. As the Mu Chapter, we provide undergraduate students with ample networking opportunities, knowledge of the law, and resources to prepare students on their journey to law school and professional careers.
We would love to host you at our conference! It is our mission to provide our members with knowledge about a variety of law schools and professions, in addition to building connections for future conferences, events or visits. If you would like to RSVP for the conference, please fill out the registration form on this website!
