Guide Right is a program
for the educational and occupational guidance of youth, primarily inspirational and informational in character. Its reach
extends to high schools and colleges alike. In the latter, giving due attention to the needs of undergraduate Brothers. Conceived
in 1922 by Leon W. Stewart, and suggested at the twelfth Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Guide Right became the Fraternity's
National Service Program. Jesse Jerome Peters, later to become the eighth Grand Polemarch, was chairman of the committee,
during the administration of W. Ellis Stewart as Grand Polemarch. Guide Right is administrated by a National Director and
a Guide Right Commission. The Guide Right Commission consists of the Director and twelve Province Guide Right Coordinators,
one from each Province, appointed by their respective Province Polemarchs. The Director is uniquely qualified to perform the
duties of this office and is appointed by the Grand Polemarch. He prepares such directives as are necessary for the successful
and efficient observance of this National movement. He also edits and prepares the Manual for the universal use of Undergraduate
and Alumni. One of the provinces newest Guide Right program which has recently been adopted by the National chapter is KAPPA
