Phase IV: Acceptance and Balloting
The final step in the process is the acceptance of the Nominations Committee’s report. Once accepted, the full list of nominees—those from the preferred slate and those nominated from the floor—is placed on the official ballot for voting. Voting typically follows immediately or later in the Council’s schedule, culminating in the election of the Province’s new officers.
Things to Consider When Working with the Province Nominating Committee When engaging with the Province Nominating Committee, it’s important to approach the process with a spirit of unity, transparency, and purpose. This committee plays a vital role in shaping the leadership of the Southeastern Province, and there are a few key principles that all chapters and brothers should keep in mind: 1. Every Chapter Must Have a Voice Representation that matters. Each chapter is encouraged —and expected—to have a representative on the Nominating Committee. This ensures that every chapter has a seat at the table, reinforcing our commitment to shared governance and broad-based input across the province. 2. Brotherhood First While the nominating process may involve differing viewpoints, we must never lose sight of our bond as Kappa Men. Respect, civility, and brotherly decorum are non-negotiable. Disagreements should never overshadow our shared mission to uplift the Province and advance Kappa. 3. Unity of Purpose The committee’s goal is not about politics—it’s about identifying the best leaders to carry our Province forward. Each brother should enter the process with a mindset of collaboration, integrity, and commitment to the good of the fraternity.
By ensuring full participation, upholding our values, and embracing brotherhood through every step of the process, the Nominating Committee will continue to be a cornerstone of strong, principled leadership in the Southeastern Province. Conclusion The Southeastern Province’s nominations process reflects a thoughtful balance of structure, transparency, and brotherly engagement. By honoring both procedural integrity and the voices of its chapters, the process elevates the most capable and committed leaders to office. This ensures that the Province remains strong, forward-looking, and anchored in the principles that define Kappa Alpha Psi.
