UNDERGRADUATE GRAND CHAPTER OFFICERS
I want to first recognize the amazing work Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has done throughout this pandemic. Our Fraternity hosted virtual career fairs, town hall meetings on vari- ous topics, Kappa League college virtual tours, and joined the fight against COVID-19. These are some highlights of how we empower our membership, and shows that the fraternity also pro- motes civic engagement. Former President Barack Obama says: “Change will not come if we wait
I hope this letter finds you and your families in good health as we continue to fight this current health crisis. As broth- ers, we should support and uplift each other and our families during these turbulent times. I have taken on the personal re- sponsibility to make a conscious effort to not only reach out to my immediate family but also my mentors, mentee, prophytes, and neophytes. Furthermore, I do want to commend and applaud brothers on the current prog-
for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” Our fraternity continues to provide the leadership to impact positive changes in the community. As a newly-elected undergraduate member of the Grand Board of Directors, I will strive to be impactful. I want to help expand on the Fraternity’s partnerships with employers to create more career opportunities for undergraduate mem- bers. I want to bridge any gaps between undergraduates and alumni brothers. Another goal is to increase undergraduate involvement within Kappa League. Lastly, I want to work on increasing mental health awareness among the undergradu- ate brothers through workshops, panelist events, and open discussion seminars. I am blessed and honored to be a part of this noble Frater- nity. I am proud to see brothers continuing to achieve in all aspects of life despite living in a pandemic. I challenge broth- ers all around the world to stay connected and engaged with the bond. Throughout our journey in life, let us remember to continue to pray and put God first. I end by referencing Psalm 145:18-19 which says, “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.”
ress and strides we have made so far to fight COVID-19. It is bigger than one man, chapter, or province, and for that I cannot say thank you enough! However, the work is not over as must continue the efforts while we prepare, specifically undergraduate brothers, for the transition into a new normal. Expectations within our communities, cam- puses, and workspace have been redefined, so it our duty to ensure each member is provided with opportunities to Achieve at the highest level. During my tenure as a Grand Chapter Officer, I look for- ward to expanding on the aforementioned statement. My goal is to empower, motivate and sustain each undergradu- ate brother to succeed at the highest level as we increase our passion for Kappa! The undergraduate Grand Board has been working hard to retain and develop diverse channels for brothers to reach this goal. From personal development to community service, the Undergraduate Grand Board has worked meticulously to address the diverse needs as best as we can. However, we are only but so many head, and that is why I want to encourage you to be active on all level, voicing your opinions and needs. This is the best way that we as a Grand Board can best serve each member of this noble clan. I am most excited to work with the Achievement Academy Committee as we have cultivated great opportunities to provide a space for brothers to grow their professional and interpersonal skills. In the near future, more information will be provided on a variety of new programs that will be implemented. I continue to pray good health and wealth for each member and implore you to stay safe and blessed.
Yours in the Bond, Austyn D. Lee Grand Board of Directors
