Kappa Alpha Order

Well, coming up on Thursday night, Brent Key's Coaches Show, live this Thursday.

He's going to be from the Kappa Alpha House on the campus at Georgia Tech.

You can check it out.

Tune in to 680 The Fan Thursday at 6 as he previews the matchup against Boston College.

For more information, visit ramblingrec.com. Are they saying you can come by to the frat house and check out the coaches' show, you

think, Westy? Thursday night at the Kappa Alpha house, I'm betting there's a kegger going on somewhere, just out of sight of the radio show.

Yeah, I'd love to go by there.

Yeah, Brent Key does a good job

So I was investigating a specific crime at the College of Charleston.

Like you said, it was two fraternities, Kappa Alpha and SAE, that basically were running a Xanax ring through the Deep South using pledges to ship.

to different fraternity houses, really around the United States.

They got caught with about $20 million worth of Xanax and a student was killed in a drug homicide.

But to call it a specific crime really doesn't do it justice.

I mean, it's all interconnected, right? And so, for instance, Kappa Alpha had three members die two years before this drug bust.

One student fell off a roof and two died of overdoses.

And then when I started to look into the sort of culture of Xanax, you're looking at students using Xanax to make punch.

So it-- I was investigating, uh, a specific crime at the College of Charleston.

Like you said, it was, um, two fraternities, Kappa Alpha and SAE, that basically were running a Xanax ring, uh, through the Deep South using pledges to ship unpressed Xanax, um, to different fraternity houses really around the United States.

They got caught with about $20 million worth of Xanax, and a stu- a s- a student was, uh, killed in a, a drug homicide.

Um, but to call it a specific crime really doesn't do it justice.

Now, while he was at the Virginia Military Academy, Senator Thomas R. Bard nominated him for West Point.

He was an initiate of the Beta Commission of Kappa Alpha Order, whatever that is.

In his first year at West Point, Patton adjusted easily to the routine, but his academics were so poor he was forced to repeat his first year after failing mathematics.

I'm not going to say many of us have a dislike for mathematics in school.

KA.

Kappa Alpha?

Yeah.

No, I did not know that.

To say like, oh, fraternities are breeding grounds for misogyny.

I was in Kappa Alpha order.

What is Kappa Alpha order pledging and initiation like? Well, it's extremely, extremely difficult, one thing.

But not only that, they drill into what it means to be a gentleman.

And I don't mean just like the ideas of it.
