JOURNAL NOTES
Here's to the Undergraduate Members of Kappa Alpha Psi ® !
in which to be proud. For example, the Texas Christian University chapter, the Kappa Epsilon of Kappa Alpha Psi ® has Frank Jackson, current Polemarch of Kappa Epsilon with a 3.5 GPA. In his last two semesters he earned a 4.0, including a semester abroad in Quito, Ecuador. Kappa Epsilon enjoys the fifth highest GPA of all male Greek organiza- tions on campus. The campus is 51% Greek with roughly 10,000 undergradu- ate students. Sam Luke of Kappa Epsi- lon is the current Reporter for Area II in the Southwestern Province. The work at the Texas Tech University, the Iota Upsilon of Kappa Alpha Psi ® is led by Akintomide Emmanuel Shittu, a senior at majoring in Management Information Systems and with a minor in Computer Science. Since his arrival at the university in the fall of 2014 he has maintained a 3.69 GPA and re- mained on the Dean's or President's Lists. He has served on the executive board of the African Students Organiza- tion and has also excelled in internships
with Anadarko Petroleum Company and USAA. Dayo Olabode is completing his Bach- elors degree in Mechanical Engineering. With a 3.0 GPA he is using his leader- ship in Iota Epsilon to inspire others through the African Student Organiza- tion and National Society of Black Engi- neers. Other inspirational stories can be found beginning with page 42. Our thanks to Junior Grand Vice Polemarch Cross for his leadership in calling for undergraduate submissions for this issue.

Grant Awardee Ryan E. Tucker, MPA. We hope you enjoy this issue.

As such, the call was sent through In- ternational Headquarters across Kappa Land to submit headshots of brothers who had at least a 3.0 grade point aver- age and who was also a leader on their respective college campus. In this issue, we have examples of chapters who are representative of all that undergraduates accomplish on their college campuses across the country (see page 25). Would that the photogra- phy was in keeping with the printing re- quirements, as we could have had some wonderful visual presentations of their work. Nevertheless the editorial team worked with the submissions to provide you with this view of their service.
