The brothers of Kappa Alpha Order at MS&T are dedicated to serving our schools, our community, an dour nation.  They offer their time and resources across the Midwest to lend a helping hand to those in need.  The brothers of Beta Alpha volunteer several time each year for local churches.  We also have three volunteer firefighters in the house who spend hundreds of hours helping the community.  Members also frequently tutor high school and elementary students.  Finally, Beta Alpha is an active participant in the adopt-a-highway program.  These are just a few of the major philanthropy projects that brothers spend their time on.  With all these projects the average number of service hours per year is about 100 hours per man. This past year as a house we managed 3517 hours total.

The Beta Alpha Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order is also an important contributor to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), our national philanthropy.  Our chapter raises approximately $6,000 every year that is donated to MDA.  During the year, we have several fundraising projects including the MDA car show, a rib sale,  Buffalo BBQ and a gold scramble among others.  These philanthropic events are excellent opportunities for brothers to have a terrific time while aiding the less fortunate.
