JUNIOR GRAND VICE POLEMARCH'S MESSAGE
Brothers all: O n behalf of the undergraduate Grand Chapter Officers in the 33 rd Administration, we give our greetings. Almost at the end of our terms our work continues as we facilitate initiatives that enhance undergraduates nationwide. Whether it’s strengthening our humani- tarian efforts through iKare, reversing the disenfranchisement of undergraduate chapters, or even challenging the current perceptions of mental health in commu- nities of color, the Young Six is steadfast; and dedicated to the cause. As we continue to lead the charge, it is important that we train the next genera- tion of undergraduate leaders. In tandem with our Junior Province Vice Polemarchs and other provincial undergraduate lead- ership, we must reach back, and extend a hand to our newest initiates. The most powerful thing we can do in this frater- nity is to be positive role models to our new members as we usher them into the
bond. Alumni role models are impor- tant, but having our young leadership embrace positions of mentorship leaves a substantially longer lasting impact. As undergraduates, we must recognize that we have a strong voice of influence within our fraternity. It must never be forgotten that our founders were 10 undergraduate men who harbored the special vision to conceive such a mighty organization. The phrase “no Kappa’s diamond is bigger than another’s” applies here. As collegiate men, we must learn to stand for issues that are affecting us and generate efficacy for those causes. We must gain legitimacy by being active in our university chapters as well as in provincial meetings. Our undergraduate administration vows to reassert Kappa’s relevance in an era where more African American
voices must be heard. We will utilize our unique perspectives and skillsets to do work that moves the fraternity forward. As we prepare for the season’s provincial council meetings, spring intake, and our LEAD Kappa, we must remember to make our issues a priority. God bless Kappa Alpha Psi, and peace to brothers all.
