	The Kappa Alpha Society
		The Kappa Alpha Society had originally been organized in the form of what was then called a "literary society." Such organizations, which were common in the colleges of the day, might be better termed in modern parlance as debating societies, since their purpose was to encourage forensic skills more than to study "literature."
		As a "literary society" the group encouraged the exposition of outrageous ideas and became an early exponent of the idea of "Progress," a concept central to the development of the U.S. in the 19th century--and one viewed by most theologians in 1825 as rank heresy.
		Kappa Alpha had little to do with creating the pent-up sentiment--but provided the spark and the example which produced the revolution.

		Kappa Alpha Society was a success, as indicated by the establishment of two powerful rivals within two years: Sigma Phi Society in March of 1827 and Delta Phi in November.
		In 1832, another fraternity was established at Hamilton-Alpha Delta Phi-out of disgust with the ungentlemanly nature of the rivalry between the Sigma Phi Society chapter, Kappa Alpha Society chapter, and the two literary societies on campus, Phoenix and Philopeuthian.
