House Resolution No. by Representative Knox commends the New Orleans Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, on its ninetieth anniversary. Established in 1936, this chapter was the first alumni chapter of the fraternity in Louisiana and has played a significant role in the fraternity's expansion throughout the Gulf South. The chapter has brought together a diverse group of professionals, including educators, physicians, and business leaders, and has been instrumental in mentoring young men and supporting undergraduate chapters at local historically Black institutions such as Dillard University and Xavier University of Louisiana.
Throughout its history, the New Orleans Alumni Chapter has hosted numerous significant events, including the Sixtieth Grand Chapter Meeting in 1976, which set a record for attendance. The chapter has received various accolades for its service and leadership, including being named Alumni Chapter of the Year in 1939 and recognized as the Southwestern Province Chapter of the Year in 2017. The resolution acknowledges the chapter's ongoing commitment to community service, educational initiatives, and the development of future leaders, expressing sincere wishes for its continued success and prosperity.
