The Kappa Alpha Society (ΚΑ), founded in 1825, was the progenitor of the modern fraternity system in North America. It is considered to be the oldest national, secret, Greek-letter social fraternity and was the first of the fraternities which would eventually become known as the Union Triad. While several fraternities claim to be the oldest, Baird's Manual states that ΚΑ has maintained a continuous existence since its foundation, making it the oldest undergraduate fraternity that exists today. As of 2022, there are five active chapters in the United States and Canada.

Elle est la première des fraternités qui deviendra finalement connue comme l'une des membres de l'Union Triad. De plus, le déclare que KA, contrairement à d'autres fraternités, a maintenu une existence continuelle depuis sa fondation, faisant d'elle la plus vieille fraternité d'étudiants existant aujourd'hui. À compter de 2016, il y a neuf chapitres actifs dont l'implantation est répartie entre les États-Unis et le Canada. (fr) La Sociedad Kappa Alpha fundada el 26 de noviembre 1825, fue la precursora del sistema de fraternidad moderna en América del Norte. Consistió en una agrupación extensa de líderes que se ayudaban en distintas localizaciones de forma activa y discreta. La organización representa el eslabón intermedio entre sociedades secretas, sociedades literarias y organizaciones de letras griegas como Phi Beta Kappa. Según las palabras del fundador Arthur Burtis: (es) La Kappa Alpha Society (ΚΑ), fondata nel 1825, fu la progenitrice del moderno sistema di fratellanze e sorellanze nel Nordamerica. Essa è considerata la più anziana, nazionale, segreta, fraternità sociale a lettere greche e fu la prima tra le fraternità che sarebbe infine divenuta nota come la Union Triad. (it)
