"As Chi Chapter celebrates its 90 years of service, the brothers throughout the many chapters throughout America and beyond, honor them for their contributions to the fraternity, and their devoted service to the Boston community, the nation and the world," said Kappa Alpha Psi’s Grand Polemarch, William "Randy" Bates Jr., Esq. "I’m honored and excited to participate in the celebration of Chi Chapter’s 90 years of achievement. The chapter has created an amazing legacy of preparing young men for life after college and I’m proud to be a beneficiary of that legacy."

During the 1920s, racial prejudice and discrimination kept many African American students from attending colleges and universities in the nation’s northeast. Among students who did enroll, local members of Kappa Alpha Psi sought to have an active chapter of their Fraternity in Boston. Recognizing the need to bring their fraternal commitment "to achieve in every field of human endeavor" within their academic community, a group of local members began the Fraternity’s Chi Chapter. At its inception, Chi Chapter included members from Boston College, Boston University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Tufts University.

Today, Chi Chapter is a city-wide charter that covers Boston and Cambridge area institutions, including several undergraduate members from Boston College, Boston University, Harvard University, and Northeastern University. Fraternity members play an active role in the Boston community, by way of the Boston Kappa League, a local youth development program that promotes honorable achievement among high school aged young men of color. Chi Chapter maintains a local installation of the Fraternity’s National Service Program Guide Right, created for the educational and occupational guidance of youth, primarily inspirational and informational in character. The program serves local high schools and college students. Chi Chapter also partners with the Paul Robeson Institute for Positive Self-Development (PRI) to tutor Boston's high school students each week in areas of mathematics, science, English and social studies.

"The Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has stood the test of time over the last ninety years. In keeping with the purpose of the fraternity, ‘to achieve in every field of human endeavor,’ Chi Chapter has initiated men who have been exemplary members, as well as major contributors to the well-being of the Boston area and the community-at-large," Bates said.
