GRAND POLEMARCH'S MESSAGE
We will make “Operation Restoration” an integral part of our organizational DNA as we live the 34 th Administration’s mantra of “Brother to Brother: Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges.”
• Integrity • Respect • Transparency • Courage and Candor • Dialogue with all constituent groups • Sharing Information and Benefits The first step is to lay aside our dif- ferences and work together because we need every brother, in one way or another, to make this happen. Malcolm X was correct in the following quote: “We Black men have a hard enough time in our own struggle for justice and already have enough enemies, as it is, to make the drastic mistake of attacking each other and adding more weight to an already unbearable load.” My parents were also accurate we they constantly preached that we can do any- thing we want in this world but we can’t do it alone. I am making available to all brothers my inaugural address I men- tioned at my oath ceremony in Philadel- phia. It will give you more detail about some of the transformational issues I
want to address and I urge ALL brothers to tell me what you think. Your newly elected officers and board members can’t do this alone. My re- quest is to truly have all hands on deck, pulling together, to restore Kappa to its rightful place as the greatest Greek letter organization known to God and Man. Brothers, I am excited about this next phase of our Journey together. The Journey starts right now. God Bless you all.
Yours in the Bond, Reuben A. Shelton III, Esq. Grand Polemarch
