These personalized vehicle tags represent affiliation with Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, a historically Black Greek-lettered organization. The custom plates typically display the fraternity’s Greek letters (), colors (crimson and cream), or other symbols associated with the fraternity. For example, a member might obtain a plate with “” and their membership year.
Displaying these emblems on a vehicle serves as a public declaration of brotherhood and commitment to the fraternity’s principles of achievement in every field of human endeavor. Historically, such displays have offered members a visible connection to their organization and fostered a sense of community, particularly while traveling. The practice reflects pride in belonging and often facilitates networking opportunities amongst members.
