GRAND POLEMARCH’S MESSAGE
dilemma in its century-old history. Members throughout the fraternity have been conducting their Kappa business using communication platforms never used before. We have been operating at the local, province and Grand Chapter levels in a virtual mode, where we have implemented webinar tools to enable us to meet visibly on our computers, telephones and other communication devices. This virtual environment has caused many brothers to enhance their techno- logical skills, elevating their abilities to carry out the tasks needed to maintain Kappa’s goal of preeminent achieve- ment. I salute all Province Polemarchs for their ingenuity and innovation in adjust- ing to the changes in the operations of our local chapters, enabling us to have a near-seamless transition from normal to virtual, and from virtual to what will be our “new normal.” I also salute all brothers for hearing and adhering to the clarion call to keep Kappa at the top of the Divine Nine
mountain.

My Brothers, Kappa Alpha Psi is an integral part of the fabric of America. We have, from our beginning, been involuntarily forced to do what seemed impossible. However, there’s something about the DNA of a Kappa, that has enabled us to emerge out of adversity after adversity, and still cling to our credo of “Training for Leadership.” COVID-19 is simply another adversity, and Kappa history has taught us that this too shall pass. ”

However, there’s something about the DNA of a Kappa, that has enabled us to emerge out of adversity after adversity, and still cling to our credo of “Training for Leadership.” COVID-19 is simply another adversity, and Kappa history has taught us that this too shall pass. There’s a legacy that our Founders and forebearers have left us, so let us con- tinue to cling to it; ACHIEVEMENT IN EVERY FIELD OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR. We’re all leaders, so we can carve out of despair a magnificent tomorrow.
Yours in the Bond, Reuben A. Shelton III, Esq. Grand Polemarch
