Founded on January 5, 1911, at Indiana University, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has carried its crimson-and-cream standard across college campuses and alumni chapters for more than a century. The Polo Ralph Lauren Kappa Alpha Psi Red Crewneck Sweater brings those fraternal hallmarks together on a rich crimson pullover. Framed at the neckline by a ribbed crew collar with cream and gold tipping stripes and an upper-left gold Pony icon, the chest graphic opens with arched KAPPA varsity block lettering above oversized Greek letters encircled by golden laurel wreaths.
Crimson and Cream Sartorial Detail With the Golden Cane
Standing at the center of the wreath is the illustrated Polo Bear outfitted in full yard regalia. The bear wears a crimson cap, a crimson-and-cream wool-look varsity letterman jacket displaying Greek letters on the right chest and the fraternity coat of arms shield on the left chest, layered over a crisp white collared shirt and a crimson-and-gold diagonal striped tie. In its right paw, the bear rests a polished golden swagger cane beside cream pleated trousers and brown leather loafers.
"EST. 1911 - ACHIEVEMENT IN EVERY FIELD OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR"
Three Occasions Built for This Crimson and Cream Pullover
- January 5 Founders' Day Gatherings: Pair the crimson sweater with cream or tan dress trousers and brown loafers to echo the bear's tailored look at chapter banquets and alumni receptions.
