Kappa Leaguers on Capitol Hill
By Britton L. Smith
W hat started as a very mod- est idea by Congressman Don McEachin (VA-4), grew beyond his wildest imagination. In addi- tion to Rep. McEachin’s home chapters, of Richmond (VA) Alumni and Peters-
burg (VA) Alumni, they were joined by Kappa Leaguers and their chaperones from Brooklyn-Long Island (NY) Alumni Chapter, Columbia (MD) Alumni Chap- ter, College Park/Sandy Springs (MD) Alumni Chapter on Thursday, June 21,
2018. Fellow members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Congressman Alcee Hastings (FL-20), Congressman Sanford Bishop (GA-2) , and Congressman Al Lawson (FL-5), met with the chapters, shared their wisdom with the young men, and took pictures on the steps of the United States Capitol. Attendees of Kappa Leaguers on Capitol Hill Day began their day with meetings with Members of Congress in their respective offices. The par- ticipants were then treated to lunch, where a short program was emceed by Kappa member and District Director to Rep. Donald McEachin, Eldon Burton (Petersburg (VA) Alumni 2013). During this program, participants heard from Chief of Staff to Rep. Robin Kelly (IL- 2), Brandon Webb (Fredricksburg (VA) Alumni 2009) and Congressman Alcee Hastings. Attendees then completed their day with a tour of the Capitol before returning home. The event was truly a success! Con- gressman McEachin has committed to making this an annual event.
