Other Important Stuff:
The Racquet and Tennis Club is a beautiful historic structure
completed in 1918. Note this place was new when KA was holding
its 61st New York City Dinner.
Black Tie is encouraged but not required.
Spouses, because they are officially "sisters"
are welcome, but no h++n will be admitted.
Alumni associations are encouraged to sponsor members of
the active chapters by further subsidizing the cost of dinners.
Note that the Society will pay for part of the undergraduate
transportation costs under its official travel reimbursement policy.
And don't forget that the price for the actives is a
fraction of the actual cost.

Spread the Word
This historic event celebrates perhaps the oldest and longest
continuing dinner anywhere. The New York City
Kappa Alpha Society Dinner started in the mid 1800s.
A few years were missed, but even during both world wars,
a hearty and loud singing group gathered with our famous
Dinner Song, spirited HIC SUMS, etc. In the early 1900s,
the New York City Dinner attracted between 100 and 200 members anually.
Attendance in recent years has been lower.
Let's bring back the big numbers this year.
Call other Kaps, bring your spouse, and put together a table for...
The 150th New York City Dinner.
LONG LIVE KA!
Hic finis est!
