The C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference (CRWLC), as it is presently known, began as the Undergraduate Leadership Conference implemented by Kappa Alpha Psi’s 16th Grand Polemarch, C. Rodger Wilson. The first Undergraduate Leadership Conference was held on August 24, 1961, as part of the Golden Anniversary Grand Chapter Meeting in Indianapolis, IN. In attendance were 56 Undergraduates from 51 different chapters.

The Northeastern Province C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference is held annually each fall to offer leadership training to undergraduate members. This gathering is also used to set the stage for the upcoming fraternal year and to share recent initiatives approved at the last Grand Chapter. The meeting is usually hosted by an undergraduate chapter, and, when possible, held at an undergraduate campus.
