The Rose of Kappa Alpha

This title is bestowed on a young lady every year after having been selected by the entire chapter. The rose, one of Kappa Alpha's flowers, symbolizes love and moral and physical incorruptibility. Candidates for rose typically spend much of their time with gentlemen of Mu Chapter, and are held in a special regard by all of the members. Candidates are nominated and presented to the chapter for a vote every spring and the Rose is announced at the KA Old South Formal.

My Kappa Alpha Rose
By Charles E. Griffin (Gamma Kappa-OCU)

She has two dreamy eyes of blue,
A smile beyond compare,
Two ruby lips to greet you,
And a wealth of golden hair.

She's the sweetest girl in all the world,
The fairest flower that grows;
She's my sunny southern sweet heart,
She's my Kappa Alpha rose
