The founders of Kappa Psi Kappa had a vision of a sisterhood that would bind the two organizations as the year 2002 came started to unfold, so did two additional organizations were founded on February 20, 2002 and joined "The Kappa Family", Phi Nu Kappa Sorority, Inc. and Alpha Psi Kappa Fraternity, Inc. By April 8, 2002, the family was completed with the addition of the Kappa Sapphires. On August 13, 2002, it was decided to grant The Kappa Family a new title as Tau Kappa Phi and was later incorporated on June 19, 2003 as its own entity that would stand as a Grand Chapter for all members.
