Elon Musk (Wharton '97) recently announced his plan to bankroll the newest fraternity on Penn's campus. Seemingly still upset about being dropped from rush during his time at the University, Musk has said that he hopes his new frat provides a safe space for straight white boys, who are quite uncommon to find in the current Penn fraternity population. 

The mission statement published states that Kappa Kappa Kappa is "seeking to create a group of like-minded American young men interested in promoting brotherhood, and only brotherhood."

Their rush process is simple, and in line with University policy, does not include any hazing or pledging. 

Responding to some criticism and pushback he's received, Musk defended his decision, stating, "If Jewish boys get to have TWO fraternities on campus here, why can't there be ONE for me?"

Their first event of the year was a "white lies" themed party. Musk has not yet commented on allegations that the brothers wore longer gowns, rather than the typical t-shirts.
