Fear of God Founder Jerry Lorenzo is Now A Fall 2024 Initiate of Kappa Alpha Psi
Jerry Lorenzo, the acclaimed American fashion designer and founder of the luxury brand Fear of God, has officially joined the San Fernando-Santa Clarita (CA) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated as part of their Fall 2024 line.
Renowned for redefining American fashion through his unique approach that blends streetwear and luxury as the creator of independent American luxury fashion label Fear of God, Lorenzo’s initiation into the fraternity underscores Kappa Alpha Psi’s tradition joining high-achieving individuals in a bond of fraternity. A graduate of Florida A&M University (FAMU) and holder of an MBA from Loyola University of Chicago, Lorenzo exemplifies the fraternity’s motto, “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.”
Speaking exclusively to Watch The Yard, Lorenzo shared his feelings about joining Kappa Alpha Psi as an alumni member:
“My intention and desire is to stay in the will of His (God’s) Story for my life… Things may not always happen on my time, but they are made perfect in His. Humbled to be a strong member of this bond and excited to amplify the original intention of the 10 men who carried and set in place the vision of the greatest fraternity known to man. Kappa represents to me a realization of a dream deferred… I’ll be speechless for the next few days… humbled to be one of 10 equal parts of the Fall 2024 Valley Nupes of the Alumni Chapter of SFSC!”
