We invite you to follow our progress at www.atlantaalumni1924.com.

Community Health Advocacy Led by Brother Dr. Paul Alphonse Brother Dr. Paul Alphonse is committed to improving the health and well-being of the community through his work in men's health and urology. Offering a range of services— including one-on-one consultations, group health sessions, and educational speaking engagements—Dr. Alphonse empowers men to recognize symptoms, understand their health options, and make informed choices for a healthier lifestyle. His approach addresses immediate health concerns and aims to overcome obstacles that hinder well-being, improve mindsets, and help individuals achieve their goals. Through innovation and excellence in urology, Dr. Alphonse's mission extends beyond patient care, focusing on advancing healthcare and promoting a healthier community. His efforts reflect the fraternity’s enduring commitment to service and addressing the needs of the underserved.

Encouraging Civic Participation: "Stroll to the Polls" Initiative As the election season approaches, Brother Devin Clark has taken a proactive role in encouraging civic engagement through the "Stroll to the Polls" initiative. This program blends the spirited tradition of the Greek "stroll" with the crucial message of voting, aiming to energize and mobilize the community to participate in the democratic process. By working closely with local chapters and leaders of the Divine 9, Brother Clark has helped facilitate voter registration, education, and turnout efforts, reminding the community that every vote counts and can bring about meaningful change. His leadership in this area reinforces our chapter's dedication to civic duty and social responsibility.

Empowering the Next Generation: Kappa Leaguers College Tour Guided by Brothers Patrick Simon and Chanden Marzette, the young men of our Kappa League program embarked on an enlightening college tour that visited seven prestigious universities: Fisk University (which is also home to Meharry Medical College), Kentucky State University, Ohio State University, Wilberforce University, Central State University, the University of Kentucky, and Tennessee State University. The tour provided the high school students with a valuable opportunity to experience different academic settings, learn about campus life, and explore future career paths. The chaperones emphasized the significance of higher education, academic excellence, and leadership, encouraging the Kappa Leaguers to set ambitious goals for their futures.

These initiatives exemplify the Atlanta (GA) Alumni Chapter's unwavering commitment to making a positive impact through service and leadership. By improving healthcare accessibility, advocating for civic engagement, and mentoring the youth, our chapter continues to uphold the ideals of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., as we strive for achievement in every field of human endeavor.
