MEMBERSHIP TRAINING ACADEMY
ACHIEVEMENT
Kappa Alpha Psi has a very comprehensive anti-hazing policy and penalties for violating the policy. Pledging has been replaced by the Membership Orientation & Intake Program (MOIP). The Membership Orientation & Intake Program (MOIP) is the procedures the Fraternity uses to admit men into the Fraternity. It combines attributes of the past membership process [that was intended to - teach aspiring members about the Fraternity, bond them with members affiliated with a local chapter and, test them on their knowledge] with a probation period wherein aspiring members demonstrated their understanding of these teachings and the value of bonding. The Program is absent of any physical or mental abuse.
