Our Mission Statement
Kappa
Psi Epsilon was founded on the symbolism of the KA - an alibata symbol
of the ancient Pilipino culture standing for the resistance to
oppression and the struggle for freedom. It is in this belief that
Kappa Psi Epsilon is fully dedicated to studying and analyzing the
Pilipino and Pilipino-American past, present, and future. In doing so,
the Sisters of Kappa Psi Epsilon can learn from history and find their
places in present and future struggles for freedom. However, before
any type of revolution occurs, there must be revolution of self. Kappa
Psi Epsilon cultivates this "revolution" through sisterhood, active
listening/learning, and analyzation of individual and organizational
successes and failures. Only in finding this revolutionary self can
true inner strength emerge - thus a self that supports the meaning of
the KA. Kappa Psi Epsilon is a unity of women that supports, as well
as understands, the need to resist oppression and to always struggle
for freedom, be it within or externally.
