Welcome to Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Brothers of the Middle Western Province, welcome to the new Middle Western Province website. The website is still under construction so please be patient while we add our new features.

One of our goals is to increase communication, increase collaboration and make things more engaging for the brothers. This is your website, so we want to ensure it is “user-friendly” for you.

I want to thank our past Province Polemarch, Elmer J. Crumbley and our Past Keeper of Records & Exchequer, Charles “Ceedy” Morgan for assisting with the transition of our Province leadership. Their advice, guidance and assistance have been invaluable. They truly live by the tenants of Phi Nu Pi and our message of “One Kappa”.

I would also like to thank the newly appointed officers, Dean Brown, Keeper of Exchequer and Gerald Hawthorne, Keeper of Records. The transition is ongoing, but things are moving along smoothly. Furthermore, thanks goes out to the transition team for their hard work in advising the Province on key strategic areas. The transition team was led by Elder Watson Diggs Awardee, Donald Bland, as well as Damon Barry, Clayton Evans and Coleman Peterson.

The 88th Middle Western Province Council Meeting is just a few months away. It will be hosted by Topeka Alumni, April 8-12, 2010. This is one of two times per year that we gather as a Province, so we hope for maximum participation from all chapters. Cluster Initiation is tentatively scheduled for April 7-8, 2010 in Topeka, Kansas.

Brothers, it is time to Kountdown to the Centennial Celebration. We want to encourage all of you to consider attending the National Founders Day Celebration in Miami, Florida January 8-10, 2010. But if you cannot attend this celebration, please participate in various Chapter celebrations. And don’t forget to bring a brother who has not been active with you. We must reclaim our brothers and bring them home to Kappa.

Prepare yourselves, brothers, to move the Middle Western Province to the next level. Our mantra for the Middle Western Province is “We Will Rise Up Together”. Please click the PDF “We Will Rise Up Together” to review. I am excited about the things we will achieve this year. Thank you for your support and please remember, “One Kappa - Creating Inspiration!

Yours in the Bond,

Clifford Franklin
Polemarch, Middle Western Province
