“The 1865 Wine Club is a fun, unique, and direct way to support the Order and the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation. Proceeds allow us to provide support to KA for critical leadership education programs, and direct support to undergraduate brothers in the form of necessary scholarships, career-shaping internships, and especially in this time, COVID-19 Relief Grants.”
