The Interstate 95 corridor in Northern Virginia includes the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. During the 1990's, Prince William County began to attract upscale individuals and businesses to its area. The local school board altered its compensation scale to make it more attractive to education professionals, particularly professionals considering opportunities in Fairfax County. The County leaders also insisted upon a local rail station to make commuting to Washington, DC more convenient for its citizens. Since 1976, Kappa Alpha Psi Members in Prince William County had essentially two options if they wanted to be involved in a chapter in close proximity to their local community. They could affiliate with Alexandria-Fairfax (VA) Alumni Chapter [ to the North] or the Fredericksburg (VA) Alumni Chapter [to the South]. Several brothers in the area, particular past Grand Keeper of Records and Exchequer William Croom, Brother Robert Harding, and Brother Ron Thompson, felt there was sufficient brothers in Prince William County to sustain a vibrant alumni chapter of the Fraternity. Twenty-one other brothers agreed with their position and filed a petition for a chapter, which the Grand Board of Directors approved. On February 1, 1998, Kappa Alpha Psi established the Woodbridge (VA) Alumni Chapter at an impressive chartering ceremony held at the Quantico (VA) Marine Corp Base Officers' Club. The affair attracted hundreds of brothers from all over the Province, as well as several local citizens. Province Polemarch Hill presided over the ceremony. The establishment of the Woodbridge (VA) Alumni Chapter made a chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi available to hundreds of communities between Fredericksburg, VA and Baltimore, MD.
