A Message From The Grand Polemarch...
Homecomings are special. With all the buzz
associated with our upcoming 79th Grand Chapter Meeting, and
our anticipation of the events which will take place en route
to our Centennial Celebration, I'm sure you'll agree there's
nothing like a Kappa "homecoming", and truthfully, nothing
comes close. Without question, our lives are filled with many
special days. We celebrate births, weddings, class reunions,
and the chartering anniversary of the chapter where we were
initiated. And even these events--significant all--do not
rival the significance associated with a purposeful gathering
of the Brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity at our biennial
Grand Chapter Meeting.
For over 5 years now, we have talked about collaborations
with other groups, and made preliminary plans for our 79th
Grand Chapter Meeting in our Nation's Capitol. Unquestionably,
the Grand Chapter Meeting, which will take place in Washington,
D.C. from August 4-9, 2009, will be the largest, and perhaps
the grandest that we've held in our 98-year history. Think
about it. You can be part of one of the most significant "homecomings"
to date, in Kappa's history--a history that will unfold in
less than 90 days and take place in a city where another significant
and historic event took place just a few months ago, when
Barack Obama took the oath to become President of the United
States.
Our Province Councils-all of which were great regional "homecomings"-have
all been held. They gave you the opportunity to renew old
friendships; lend support to those who pursue your Province's
goals, and, helped shape Kappa's future both regionally and
nationally. The best is yet to come. I invite you now to register
for the 79th Grand Chapter Meeting, and be a part of events
which will be included in the larger historical narrative
of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, whose "brand" is now permanently
established in the public's consciousness, as belonging to
an organization which is the embodiment of achievement, whose
activities are in the public interest, and whose members are
men of substance and consequence. The Schedule of Events at
our Grand Chapter Meeting has been carefully planned, and
you will find business and social undertakings which can help
you socially, economically, and spiritually.
Thousands of Brothers and their families will be a part of
this 79th Grand Chapter Meeting. I look forward to seeing
you there. It will be a significant meeting. "Come Home to
Kappa." You'll have a great time and leave with wonderful
memories. Homecomings are like that.
