The KAOEF interns recently celebrated America's Semiquincentennial and Independence Day by attending a fireworks display at George Washington's Mount Vernon. They also participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at President Washington's tomb, made possible through the generous donation of tickets from alumnus and partner at Cooley LLP Law FirmRob McDowell (Alpha Phi–Duke '83).

The interns also toured the U.S. Capitol with alumnus Ross Elston (Alpha Upsilon–Mississippi '20), a Floor Assistant in the Office of the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, including a special visit to the House floor. The KAOEF Internship Program is made possible through grant support from the KAOEF.

Interested in applying? The application for the 2027 KAOEF Internship Program opens on July 15.

Kappa Alpha Order is proud to announce our return to West Virginia University in Fall 2026.

With more than 1,400 West Virginia University alumni, KA is returning a proud legacy to this outstanding community.

KA is looking for men who want to lead, build, and leave a lasting legacy at WVU. If you're interested in learning more about this opportunity, or if you know a WVU student who would be interested, please fill out the interest form linked in our bio.

The KAOEF interns had a busy weekend as they wrapped up their first month in Washington, D.C., serving as production volunteers for the 2026 Miss District of Columbia Scholarship Pageant. Lisa Spies, Executive Director of the Miss DC Pageant, is a longtime KAOEF internship host through her work as President of The LS Group, a political and nonprofit fundraising and development firm.

Following their work at the pageant, the five interns enjoyed an evening of brotherhood at Magnolia Lodge No. 53, F.&A.M.'s annual Table Lodge. Magnolia Lodge is a Washington, D.C.-based Masonic organization comprised entirely of KA brothers. The interns were invited to join the members for dinner, and one of our interns, Gavin Adams (Zeta Alpha–Boulder '23), is pictured with Magnolia Lodge members Nate Wingfield (Alpha Omicron–Arkansas '20), Dustin James (Delta Tau–Francis Marion '10), and Matthew Brownlee (Beta Eta–Oklahoma '11), Master of Magnolia Lodge.
