Alpha Chapter Mascots

Bartholomew

In the late 1970s, the Guiding Spirit of Kappa Kappa Psi determined that he could no longer keep a constant eye on the proceedings of the Alpha chapter.  But, just to make sure nothing went wrong for Alpha, the Guiding Spirit sent Bartholomew, a hobbit, to monitor the chapter.  Though he appeared to be a rabbit, his cultured nature, love of the arts, and deductive reasoning set him apart from those simpler creatures.  Bart served as a faithful and loyal friend to the brothers of Alpha, always offering encouragement in times of trouble and praise in times of success.  Bart constantly promoted good will among all and stood fast by the ideals and purposes of Kappa Kappa Psi.

Benjamin

In 1986, Bart left the chapter to follow a journey of his own.  Promising to return someday, he left his brother Benjamin in his stead.  Benji is a bit wilder than Bart was, and has traveled with Alpha to all sorts of various locales; however, his commitment to the ideals of Kappa Kappa Psi is just as strong, if not stronger, than Bart's was.  In fact, the Alpha brothers believe that if Bart were with them today, he would be quite proud of the work Benji has done to guide and support them.  Benji has become a little older and a little wiser during his time with Alpha, but has no plans to leave - not when there are brothers to come who will require his guidance.
