We are continuing that

tradition here in Boston. With

the aforementioned core

relationships, renew vigor,

strategic planning

and fraternal fellowship we

are positioned well to be the

premier chapter in the

Northeastern Province. I have

no doubt that as we travel to

Indianapolis in the next few

months that we will be well

represented and accounted

for as a significant force in

this clan of achievers.

It is under that Laurel Wreath

that we rightfully belong; men

of achievement, meeting the

needs of our families,

partners, and community.

Preparing for the next 100

Years of Kappa Leadership.

Yours in the Bond,

Jermaine Myrie Polemarch

The 2010-2011 Fraternal Year

has been a year of

tremendous growth and

opportunity for the Boston

Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha

Psi Fraternity, Inc. Going into

our centennial year, many

members started out the year

energized and optimistic about

the power and influence of

Kappa nationally as well as

locally. I‘ve seen members

come back home to Kappa! The

clarion call of our Grand

Polemarch has been heard by

many members here in

Boston. And for this, we have

been a better chapter. With

more voices and added

energy, we have accomplished

quite a bit this year.

The fundamental purpose of

our Noble Klan is achievement.

And I‘m happy to report that

we have achieved in

supporting each other, our

communities and young people

at large. To be a relevant

social organization, you must

have a social impact. We have

succeeded in forging

relationships and partnerships

with key organizations

throughout the greater Boston

community. Our work with the

Manny Wilson League at the

Yawkey Boys and Girls Club

has afforded us the

opportunity to touch the lives

of over 170 young boys and

girls through academic and

athletic support services. In

addition, recent development

work with the United Way,

Boys Scouts of America and

Concerned Black Men of

Massachusetts has placed us

on a path to develop a mature

and impactful Guide Right

program with Kappa League as

the cornerstone.

Our traditions are grounded in

developing youth and shaping

The History of the Kappa League

INSIDE GUIDE RIGHT The basic concepts of Guide

Right may be summarized as

follows:

1. To help youth, especially those of high school age, in the selection

of courses leading to vocations

compatible with their aptitudes, interests, and personalities.

2. To assist students, while they are in training, to get started in

employment, and to progress successfully in their chosen fields.

3. To assist parents in the

handling of their children by giving

them opportunities to talk over their problems with those who

know and are successful in their chosen vocations.

4. To afford the less fortunate youths a respite from the

drudgery of the streets, through

sponsored entertainment and cultural enrichment.

5. To inform youth of the values of

higher education, of assistance

available for continued

educational pursuits,

scholarships, loans, professional counseling, fellowships, etc.; of

various occupational and professional opportunities; and of

current lab or demands and the

trends on the labor market, supply rewards, etc.

The Kappa Instructional Leadership League is a program

developed under Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated‘s National

Guide Right Initiative.

tenth through the twelfth grades. The fraternity sought to help these

young men to achieve worthy goals for themselves and make constructive contributions to their community when

leadership roles become the responsibility. National Mission Statement: The mission of

the Kappa Instructional Leadership League Program is to empower at-risk youth in our

community to make positive life choices that enable them to maximize their personal potential.

National Vision Statement: Kappa Instructional Leadership League –

Prevention Intervention Program envisions a community in which every youth experiences nurturing one-to-one

relationships and community support, which in turn allows each of them to develop into their full potential capable of

making informed, responsible decisions as involved members of our community.

Under the chairmanship of Mel Davis, the Los Angeles Alumni Chapter‘s

Social Action Program took the form of training activity for young men of the Alain Leroy Locke High School. Called the Kappa

Instructional Leadership League, it was designed to help young men grow, receive, and develop their leadership talents in every

phase of human endeavor. It provided both challenging and rewarding experiences, which richly

enhanced their lives. Membership was open to male students from the

History of the Boston Kappa League

P A G E 5 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

Established in Boston, Massachusetts in

2011 by Brother Danny Rojas from Chi

Chapter and Brother Kevin Sibley from

Boston Alumni Chapter; The focus of the

Boston Kappa League is to support the

fraternity‘s National initiative while

creating a local service initiative that will

be coordinated by both the Boston

Alumni chapter, Greater Boston Kappa

Charities and Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha

Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.

Currently in its infancy stages the Boston

Kappa League is in the process of

developing the curriculum for the Boston

based program, which has established

partnerships with the Greater Boston

Kappa Charities, the Concerned Black

Men of Massachusetts, and the YMCA of

Greater Boston.

With the Leadership of Brother Rojas and

Brother Sibley we are looking to have an

established program by the Fall of 2011 at

which time applications will be made

available to young men in the Greater

Boston Public School District.

The Founding members of the Boston

Kappa League will be made up of a small

cohort of young men ranging from

different high schools in the Boston area

who have demonstrated exceptional

leadership potential and passion for

uplifting their peers. These young men

will assist in the establishment,

curriculum planning, and Recruitment of

Boston‘s First Kappa League Program.

On Saturday, May 14th, the Boston Kappa

League held the Induction Ceremony of

the Founding Members and the Parent

and Family Orientation on the campus of

Northeastern University in the Cabral

Center of the John D. O‘Bryant African

American Institute.

the Boston Alumni Chapter led several

self-improvement workshops for fifteen

(15) high-school age young men. These

workshops, focused on presentation

skills, etiquette and hygiene, served as a

capstone initiative in preparing the

participants for a Cotillion program to be

held in June 2011.

Brothers who participated were

Brothers: Jermaine Myrie, Roy

Thompson, Michael Gaskins, Sean

In partnership with Alpha Kappa Alpha

Sorority, Inc., Boston Pearl Foundation,

Daughtry, Harrison Barnes, and Brie-El

interactive with training on fine dining

and table etiquette, tying a neck-tie and

bow-tie, and properly introducing

yourself such as an ―elevator speech‖.

This Saturday program served well in

developing well-rounded leaders and

upstanding young men in the community.

100 Years of Achievement

―100 years ago, ten young men had body and soul. Tell me Brothers, ‗cause I don‘t know, why the Frat they founded was so darn cold.‖

As the song correctly states our Noble Klan

was founded 100 years ago on January 5th in

1911. To commemorate the occasion the

Fraternity established National Founder‘s Day

for Brothers across the country to come together and celebrate our founding. This

year‘s gathering was on the weekend of

January 7-9 in Philadelphia, hosted by

Philadelphia Alumni.

Approximately 2000 Brothers from around

the country descended on Philadelphia for a

weekend long celebration. Boston Alumni was

represented by Brothers Myrie, Daughtry, and

Taylor. There were many events and parties with the highlights being the tour of

International Headquarters and the Closed

Banquet. The closed banquet master of

ceremonies was Brother Demarco Morgan of

NBC and the oldest Kappa in the room had

attended both the Silver and Gold Conclaves. Also at the closed Banquet the trailer for the

movie about the founding of Kappa Alpha Psi

was viewed.

The energy and spirit of Brotherhood was

strong and palpable at National Founder‘s Day

and Brothers gained a renewed appreciation

of the strong bond of Fraternity.
