Candidate Process

Interviews

All members of the UCLA Bruin Marching Band  are invited to sign up for an interview with the active brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi. Sign ups will open December 2021 for virtual interviews taking place early Winter Quarter 2022. We invite you to come find out if you're a fit for our organization and become better acquainted with our mission. More details will be released closer to the date. 

You are also welcome to schedule an interview with our sister organization, the Epsilon Kappa chapter of Tau Beta Sigma. 

Bids

Following the interview, we will extend bids to prospective candidates demonstrating the highest ideals of service, leadership, and music. Accepting this bid to join our fraternity is the first step towards becoming a lifelong brother. 

If extended bids to both the Psi and Epsilon Kappa chapters, you may only accept one. If you do not receive a bid at this time, we thank you for your time and welcome you to interview again next year.

Candidacy

After accepting your bid you'll enter a quarter long candidacy period. You'll undergo interviews with active and alumni brothers and an educational program to become acquainted with our purposes, history, and events. Following this candidacy period you will become an active brother in Kappa Kappa Psi. We have a zero tolerance policy for hazing.

Testimonies

In addition, check out our active profiles to get to know the brothers in your section. We encourage you to reach out to any of them with questions.
​Try asking them about their favorite part of being a brother or favorite event in Psi! 
“I felt like I would have made a big mistake had I not joined Kappa Kappa Psi. Of course, being a musician gives you the opportunity to meet fantastic individuals. But being a brother on top of that leads you to build lasting relationships with these same individuals - not much different from familial ties. We strive together as a team to serve our music communities at UCLA and beyond, and we bond together as a family to care for each other. Our brotherhood is special, and there is something here for everyone. No matter where we come from - our triumphs, our trials, our stories - we know that each and every one of us belong here. This is what it means to be a brother of Kappa Kappa Psi.”

"Kappa Kappa Psi elevated my UCLA marching band experience. It took the overwhelming size of the band and compacted it into a more personal and intimate entity. Kappa Kappa Psi taught me how to better serve my community, how to forge new and positive relationships, and how an individual’s unique traits can bolster an organization’s cohesiveness. I am thankful for the brotherhood that Psi shared with me during my time at UCLA and for the bonds with the brothers I still maintain today."
