Southeastern Province Life Membership Program: A Legacy of Commitment and Growth by: Stanley Clinkscale
The Southeastern Province of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has long been committed to establishing sustainable financial programs that ensure the long-term vitality of the Province. Among these is the Life Membership Program, a visionary initiative that has exemplified fiscal responsibility, brotherly commitment, and strategic reinvestment. Origins of the Life Membership Program The program was first launched under the leadership of the 24th Administration of the Southeastern Province . This initial phase offered 400 Life Membership slots at a cost of $400 each . The affordable price point made it accessible to brothers who were eager to make a lasting commitment to the Province. This original phase spanned approximately six years, gradually building a solid foundation of loyal life members whose contributions helped support critical operations and long-term programming.
Revival and Modernization under the 27th Administration Recognizing the value and impact of the original initiative, the 27th Administration of the Southeastern Province reintroduced the Life Membership Program with a renewed vision and elevated goals. This new phase offered 100 Life Membership slots at $1,000 each, reflecting both the growth of the Province and the increasing importance of sustainable funding models. The response was swift and enthusiastic: within the first six days, 75% of the available slots were fully funded , demonstrating the deep commitment of Southeastern Province brothers to the continued success of their Province. The remaining 25% were paid in full by the second year , completing the $100,000 goal set for the reintroduced phase. Strategic Investment and Financial Growth In a forward-thinking move, the $100,000 raised through the revitalized Life Membership Program was invested, rather than spent. The intent was clear: to preserve the capital while generating long-term gains to support the Province's programs and initiatives.
