I helped re-start Beta Gamma chapter of Kappa Alpha Order at the College of Charleston in 2003, but did not initiate until 2006. In the interim, I spent 2 years in Iraq. I was always attracted to the Christian/military ethos of KA, but it was incredible to be initiated as a veteran.
Our Ritual was written by Samuel Z. Ammen, who was made a Master Mason before going to Washinton College (now W&L), and afterward a Knight Templar. It's amazing how much our Ritual draws from Masonic sources. I hope one day to be a Knight Templar myself, to see the similarities and differences between it and KA Ritual.
