Kappa Kappa Psi operates primarily as a student service and leadership recognition society whose chief aim is to assist the Director of Bands in developing the leadership and enthusiasm that is required of his/her band. Our goals are to provide the band not only with organized and concentrated service activities, but to give our membership valid and wholesome experiences in organization, leadership and social contacts. The honorary nature of membership is based on our premise that “it is an honor to be selected to serve” this band, its department of music, its sponsoring institution, and the cause of band music in the nation's colleges and universities. The Fraternity is presently located in over 150 colleges and universities. Since 1919 more than 50,000 interested band members have devoted their efforts to strengthening their bands through group and individual service projects. The Fraternity's program of continued service to Music has attracted the attention of the best in American band tradition. We number among our ranks John Philip Sousa, Karl King, Frank Simon, Herbert L. Clarke, Harold Bachman, William D. Revelli and many other contemporary composers, conductors and music educators.

We contribute a lot of volunteer work to the Panther Marching Band and Pep Band, as well as the annual Northern Festival of Bands. Various fundraisers are held throughout the year, generating money which we use to better our UNI bands. And, despite all the work we do, Eta Pi always makes time for brotherhood events which have included hockey games, bowling, movie and game nights, traveling together to national and district conferences and more. Our chapter is vital, not only to the music program at UNI, but throughout our campus. Our members are outstanding role models, both academically and musically, and have much to contribute to our community as a whole. Interested in Joining?
