Guide Right & Kappa League

Guide Right

The National Service Program overview:

Guide Right is a program for the educational and occupational guidance of youth, primarily inspirational and informational in character. Its reach extends to high schools and colleges alike, giving due attention to the needs of collegiate Brothers. Conceived in 1921 by Leon W. Steward and adopted at the twelfth Grand Chapter Meeting of Kappa Alpha Psi, Guide Right became the fraternity's national service program. Jesse Jerome Peters, later to become the eighth Grand Polemarch, was chairman of the committee, during the administration of W. Ellis Stewart as Grand Polemarch. That insured adoption of the Program as the Fraternity's national service project.

The purposes of the Guide Right Service Program are to place the training, experience, and friendly interest of successful men, at the disposal of youth needing inspiration and counsel regarding their choice of a life career, while the community is made aware of the problems that may be encountered as these youth seek to realize lives of usefulness

Objectives of Guide Right

The National Service Program overview:

  1. To help youth, especially those of high school age, in their selection of courses leading to vocations compatible with their aptitude and personalities.

  2. To assist students while they are in training, to get started in employment, and to progress successfully in their chosen fields.

  3. To assist parents in handling their children by giving them the opportunity to talk over their problems with those who know and are successful in their chosen vocations.

  4. To afford youth a respite from the drudgery of the street, through sponsored entertainment and culture enriched.

  5. To inform youth of the values of higher education, of assistance available for continued educational pursuits, scholarship, loan, professional counseling, and fellowship; of various occupational and professional opportunities, and of the current labor market and requirements for obtaining employment.

“In as much as college youths must assume the burdens of leadership after graduation, it is important that they acquire the social graces and embellishments that fit them for participation in the society of cultivated men.”
