Kappa Beta Phi
Kappa Beta Phi is a secret society, best known for its Wall Street Chapter that is made up of high-ranking
financial executives.
The purpose of the organization is largely
social and honorific. The current honor society meets once a year at a
black-tie dinner to induct new members. The current President is Alfred E. Smith IV.
History
Chapters of Kappa Beta Phi were known to
exist as early as 1912. By the 1930s, dozens of chapters were in existence,
primarily on college campuses. The society was known for being made up of men
with a sense of humor. Many colleges and traditional fraternities fought to
abolish Kappa Beta Phi, as it was often characterized as a fraternity solely
for drinking and partying while making a mockery of academics and more
reputable organizations such as Phi Beta Kappa. The Wall Street Chapter of
Kappa Beta Phi was founded in 1929 prior to the stock market
crash, and it is the only remaining chapter of the society. The stated purpose
of the Wall Street Chapter is to "keep alive the spirit of the 'good old
days of 1928–29.
