The Story, Leadership, and Legacy of The Upper Echelon Nupes.
The Oak Park–River Forest (IL) Alumni Chapter operates with a clear commitment to excellence and purpose. As The Upper Echelon Nupes, we set the standard in leadership, service, brotherhood, and achievement while making a meaningful and lasting impact throughout the communities we serve.
Chartered on December 15, 2024, our chapter brings together accomplished professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, public servants, and community leaders who live and work throughout Oak Park, River Forest, Chicago’s West Side, and surrounding communities.
Upper Echelon is not simply a nickname—it is the standard we set for ourselves.
It means showing up prepared. Leading with integrity. Serving with intention. Supporting our Brothers. Developing the next generation. And ensuring that whenever the Oak Park–River Forest Alumni Chapter puts its name on something, it is done with excellence.
Chartered by twenty-five distinguished men committed to the fundamental principles of Kappa Alpha Psi.
Establish a persistent, high-impact pillar of Kappa Alpha Psi within the western suburbs of Chicago.
Continuing to build a legacy centered on Brotherhood, Leadership, Achievement, and Service.
