Why do so many recently arrived Filipino youth join gangs? How have some of these restless youth channeled their angst towards the human rights advocacy and community service instead of gang warfare or even worse, murder? THE BROTHERS OF KAPPA PI is the story of a fraternity based in Queens, New York. Kappa Pi is the story of Filipinos, mainly immigrants fostering the ideals of their Philippine revolutionary heroes. While Kappa Pi is a service oriented and politically – conscious fraternity, it mimics the structure of a gang to attract new recruits who might otherwise be drawn to dangerous life of real urban gangs.
