Why KAPi?
Law School Preparation
Many of our members came into college unsure about pursuing a career in law. During their time in the fraternity, our members reflect on their career path and ask themselves if law school is the right choice for them. Some of our members decide that it is, and some decide that it isn’t. Some of our alumni are pursuing careers in the law, public health, policy, education, and more. Furthermore, our members have exclusive access to discounted LSAT prep courses from our sponsors. The chapter also holds law school tours for our members. In addition, our members have access to our extensive and still-growing alumni network.
Alumni Network
Our alumni network has grown significantly since we chartered the chapter in 2018. We have alumni that attend the most prestigious law schools across the country and hold positions in both the private and public sectors. All of our members have the opportunity to connect with alumni that are going down the same path as them.
Professional Development
A member’s first quarter in the fraternity is where they participate in the Leadership Program. This program focuses on professional development skills that will be useful for any career, regardless of whether a member continues to pursue a career in law. The program hones in on our members’ networking skills, perfect their resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIns. Additionally, the chapter has connections to attorneys and other legal professionals that are useful for many of our members.
Fraternalism
The pre-law community at UCSD is relatively small, hence it can be helpful to be surrounded by other people with the same interests as you. However, the relationships built among our members transcend that. Our members have found friends that will last a lifetime in this chapter. We take pride in the small, close-knit community that we have created and fostered.
