GRAND POLEMARCH’S MESSAGE
“MY REFERENCE TO THE PHRASE “OUR TIME,” IS INCLUSIVE OF WHAT HISTORY WILL DOCUMENT ABOUT THE COLLECTIVE INPUT OF EVERY LIVING BROTHER OF THIS FRATERNITY DURING THE 35TH ADMINISTRATION. I ACCEPT THE MANTLE OF LEADERSHIP, BUT ORGANIZATIONAL MOVEMENT IN KAPPA ALPHA PSI MUST BE A “WE” THING IF WE ARE TO PRESS FORWARD TRULY EFFECTIVELY AND REALIZE THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDERS IN ALL OF ITS GRANDIOSE POSSIBILITIES.”
you willing to make for our cause? What narrative will the history books document about the efforts of your commitment to the fraternity you represent? Time will tell. But I believe that the Story of Kappa Alpha Psi will chronicle “Our Time” as the period of history where the brother- hood of Kappa Alpha Psi accepted the challenge to collectively progress the fraternity in monumental leaps and bounds. My reference to the phrase “Our Time,” is inclusive of what history will document about the collec- tive input of every living brother of this fraternity during the 35th
Administration. I accept the mantle of leadership, but organizational movement in Kappa Alpha Psi must be a “WE” thing if we are to press forward truly effectively and realize the dream of our founders in all of its grandiose possibilities. Therefore, I challenge everyone in this fraternity to lend your talents (in measurable fashion) and join me in creating the Kappa of our Dreams! I’m privileged that my journey of service as your Grand Polemarch will be alongside an incredible slate of brothers that you have elected to the Grand Board of Directors. I have appointed seven new talented
Province Polelmarchs and took the opportunity to pin them on stage at the conclusion of the 86th Grand Chapter Meeting in Tampa, Florida. The 35th Administration is ready to serve the fraternity at a high level and build the most significant and relevant organization that the world has ever seen.
Yours in the Bond,
Jimmy McMikle Grand Polemarch, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
