GRAND POLEMARCH’S MESSAGE Spring Into Purpose: Harnessing the Season of Possibility

My Brothers, A s spring blossoms around us, I bring you fraternal greetings and hope that the energizing spirit of this season triggers a renewed sense of purpose, dedication and growth within you. I find myself reflecting on the life of our fraternity, and how our Founders and organizational founding provided a source of hope, support, inspiration and empowerment to a campus community that sorely needed the impact of their efforts. That narra- tive has come full circle, as we stand at a critical time in our nation’s history. The communities that we serve need Kappa Alpha Psi® to have the same effect. This is not a time for passivity, but a time for purposeful action. As the world watches and history is being written in real time, we are uniquely positioned to change lives, uplift communities, rewrite narratives and shape the future with intention and purpose. Each program that we facilitate, every initiative we lead, every voice that we uplift, and every space we enter offers us a chance to redefine what’s possible as men of achievement. We are laying the groundwork for what I believe will be an extraordinary

summer. On the horizon is our Grand Chapter Meeting in Phoenix, which will be the culminating experience of the summer months. I couldn’t be more excited as we plan to gather in person to fellowship, celebrate our achievements, enjoy our bond of fraternity and continue building the momentum that makes Kappa Alpha Psi more relevant and significant. I am proud of what we’ve accom- plished together in service to the fraternity that we hold dear, and how we continue to raise the bar in pursuit of our fundamental purpose of achieve- ment and in our continual pursuit of excellence. Let’s continue to seize the opportunities and possibilities within

our purview as mandates for transfor- mation. I thank every one of you for the role that you play in our ongoing story of achievement. As you turn the pages of this spring edition of the Kappa Alpha Psi Journal , we hope that it inspires you, informs you, and excites you. There- fore, I invite you to settle in, explore boldly, and discover more about what makes this fraternity great.

Yours in the Bond,

Jimmy McMikle Grand Polemarch, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
