Our Story

National History

On the turn of the new millennium, six dedicated men brought forth a new Asian Interest Fraternity. In the Spring of March 16, 2000, Kappa Pi Beta was formed on the campus of Northern Illinois University. The Founders: Renmar Salceda, Phillip Gozun, Christopher Flores, Alfred Gozun, Sean Orquiola, and Soulysak Trichanh decided that a new breed of gentlemen was to be formed. Incorporating all of our Asian traditions, we instill respect and discipline. Our venture in this fraternity is to bring about Midwest Values differing from that of the West and East coasts. Asian Americans are one of the largest minority groups in the Midwest yet we have the smallest voice in representation. As brothers of Kappa Pi Beta, we felt it was time that our voice be heard.

Chapter History

Laying the tracks for diversity and unity, eight exceptional men decided to take the first steps to create a unified community. In the Fall of November 16th, 2019, Kappa Pi Beta expanded to the cradle of astronauts at Purdue University. The Charters—Kevin Nguyen, Johnnie Junior Chung-Fu Cheng, Nguyen Do, Derek Lee, William Atkinson, Vibhu Bulusu, Timothy Huang, and Anthony Phan—decided to take one giant leap for a rich and diverse culture in Indiana. Through respect and discipline, we inspire the next generation of leaders in the Asian community. As Gentlemen of Kappa Pi Beta, we WILL ensure that our voice is heard.
