The Harrisburg Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was chartered on May 28, 1960. The charter members were Attorney William Atkins, Leroy Craig, Barton Fields, Robert Hanna, Rev. Clarence Henderson, Rev. H. Garnett Lee, Horatio Leftwich and William Thompson. The chapter thrived until 1967 when many of the members who were government employees were relocated; thus the chapter was inactive for three years.
