     As a three year Polemarch, I am deeply rooted in the success of the Grand Rapids Alumni chapter. I pride myself in my desire to listen and implement change for the good of the chapter. It is my strong belief that the Grand Rapids Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi is a true Diamond shining bright throughout the Northern Province as well as the entire Fraternity. We are the trend setters in the community, and set the standards that other organizations should be measured by.  

     I issue a challenge to all members of our glorious bond. Are you a shirt wearing, license plate driving Kappa, or are you a NUPE?  The personification of a true NUPE takes commitment, dedication, loyalty, perseverance, trust and a strong work ethic. To be a great NUPE you must possess all of these qualities.

     Kappa Alpha Psi does not consist of, exist for, rely on or promote one single member; we are an organization of many parts that come together as one highly functioning unit. It is about Kappa Alpha Psi, not about personalities. We will stand together to make a difference, to make a statement and to be example to the men of Grand Rapids.

     So as you go through your day, ask yourself if are you a Kappa or if you are you a NUPE.
