GRAND POLEMARCH’S POST-CONCLAVE MESSAGE
My Faithful Brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.:
I n 2015, the 33 rd Administration was sworn in to lead our great fraternity from 2015 to 2017. This swear- ing in ceremony challenged us to carry out the business of the fraternity, consistent with the Constitution, Stat- utes and other documents of authority. The 33 rd Administrative team took the oath of office honoring the Holy Bible and the long list of officers throughout the 107 years of the fraternity. We did this with unanimity and awareness of the awesomeness of the tasks and the expectations of our brothers who gra- ciously cast their ballots on our behalf. Thank you, brothers, for your continued support of the 33 rd Administration and Kappa's Six-Point Plan. In 2017, you re-elected the 33 rd Ad- ministration to lead our Noble Klan for the next two years. We are grateful for your votes of confidence, and look forward to working for you, to push Kappa to heights unseen. And now, in this post-83 rd Grand Chapter Meeting Kappa Journal, you will see throughout, highlights that should make you proud, including: the dynamic Conclave Wor- ship Service, featuring Rev. Dr. Ran- dolph Bracy, Jr.; 50 members of LEAD Kappa who made us proud dressed in
black and white, worshipping together; the tour of the local community services project; the Inaugural Military Salute; the swearing in of the 33 rd administra- tion; and other conclave features. Today, I seize upon the opportunity to give an accounting of our stewardship. I pause to acknowledge the imperfections of our administration and to share with you the progress we’ve made along this journey. As you know, those of us who you have elected cannot do the work our frater- nity requires by ourselves. We must depend on those who labor where the rubber meets the road. You, my brothers are the glue that holds our Kappa ship together. The leadership is dependent upon the work you do and the coopera- tion you get from the constituents we serve. The administration invoked the name of Jesus as it began its work. We remem- bered that Kappa Alpha Psi ® was found- ed on Christian principles and with this foundation each of us becomes an instrument of faithful stewardship over all that God has given us. He has given us ten Founders, who had the vision
