ebrated the 93 rd birthday of one of our Senior Kappa’s, Brother Dexter Bennett. As such we had the distinct honor and pleasure to have both the Northeastern Province Polemarch Christo- pher Thompkins submitted a (re- corded video) and Senior Province Vice Polemarch Brother Ted San- chious III (virtual greetings) in at- tendance. Brother Bennett was initiated into the Tau Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. in 1949, and has been an active mem- ber of Kappa ever since!! More specifically, as a member of the Englewood-Teaneck (NJ) Alumni Chapter, Brother Bennett trained and guided many of it’s brothers who are still active today, stressing and maintaining the tradition and protocol of not only ETAC, but the fraternity as a whole. In this sense, the chapter placed a focus on hon- oring Senior Kappas. In particular, the chapter wanted to give Broth- er Bennett his “flowers” now by honoring him and all that he has poured into the fraternity.
