THE SUMMIT
COVER STORY
focused our attention, during the ses- sion, on ensuring the continued viability of Kappa Alpha Psi. It was everyone’s objective to ensure that we focused our attention on discuss- ing how the Fraternity can grow, prosper and flourish. Thus, we agreed that we must develop strategies that strengthen this resolve. We must rid the Fraternity of those activities, beliefs and customs that do not mesh with current societal expecta- tions and the fundamental purpose of our Grand Fraternity. Organizations that do not change its modes of operation become entropic and die from within, Kappa Alpha Psi will be no exception.” Dr. Dwaun Warmack: “The under- graduate summit was very, very impor- tant, as I think about the future of our amazing fraternity and this awesome bond, to have this many undergraduate brothers present and to have a panel of college presidents from all of the coun- try, to take time out of their schedule to talk about the importance of not just Kappa Alpha Psi, but Black fraternity and sorority life as whole, if having the opportunity as an undergraduate twenty years ago to attend this type of sum- mit would have spoken volumes, just to create a space that’s transparent and undergraduates having the opportunity to ask any questions they wanted to ask without creating any recourse creates an environment where real transformation can begin to manifest.” There are enormous reflections and commentary post the 14 th Annual National Founders Day Undergradu- ate Summit, specifically the University Presidents Panel. Many of the 203 undergraduates who attended the Undergraduate Summit are rethinking their undergraduate experi- ences and opportunities to become a college or university president and ulti- mately contemplating the notion to serve as a model for change in order for us to reach our bicentennial in Kappa.
