The Delta Pi of Kappa Alpha Psi ® at Michigan State University Celebrates 60 Years
T he Delta Pi of Kappa Alpha Psi ® at Michigan State University (MSU) celebrated its 60 th Anniversary dur- ing MSU’s Homecoming weekend last year. Chartered on May 1, 1956, Delta Pi has initiated more than 400 members into the Most Noble Clan. A pillar of the Northern Province, Delta Pi had a record 200 brothers registered for this historic occasion. The weekend’s festivities kicked off on Friday, October 14 th with 18 holes of golf at College Fields Golf Club. Kirk D. Rhodes (Delta Pi 1969), the reigning champion, once again dominated the links shooting a 78. Awards were also given to the winning team: Rhodes, Harold W. Bulger (Delta Pi 1969) and Clarence Willis, Jr. (Delta Pi 1969). Other award recipients included George S.D. Williams (Delta Pi 2012) for the longest drive, and Renaldo Major (Delta Pi 2008) for closest to the Pin. The day’s festivities concluded with a closed banquet at Causeway Bay Hotel, hosted by up-and-coming comedian Timothy E. City (Delta Pi 2009). The closed banquet was more than simply the culmination of a day of brothers compet- ing on the links. During the banquet, Delta Pi made numerous philanthropic presentations, including: a $500 donation to the Michigan State Black Alumni Association (MSUBA) and a $1,000 collection to end hunger in Mississippi. Darnell Manning (Delta Pi 1983) and CEO of the Mississippi Food Network Dr. Charles H. Beady, Jr. (Delta Pi 1968) accepted the donations, respectively.
