Kappa Kappa Psi national conventions

The first national convention of Kappa Kappa Psi was held in 1922, on the campus of Oklahoma A&M College in Stillwater. The next several conventions were held in Oklahoma City, and beginning in 1939, conventions were held on college campuses around the country. Conventions were held on college campuses until 1995, when the size of the delegations of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma were so large that the organizations were forced to move to convention centers and hotels.


Tau Beta Sigma conventions

The first national convention of Tau Beta Sigma was held in 1946 on the campus of Texas Tech, home of the Beta chapter. After this, each national convention of Tau Beta Sigma has been held concurrently with the national convention of Kappa Kappa Psi.
