Message From Our Polemarch

Welcome to the Queens Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. website!

The Queens Alumni Chapter was founded March 10, 1990, at the Roy Wilkins Center in Jamaica, NY. Inspired by the visionary leadership of Brothers Paul Carey and Geoff Gross, the 15 charter members, most of whom were recent college graduates, sought to inspire and provide a new, different and diverse perspective and voice of Kappa principles and objectives to the City of New York, with a special focus on the borough of Queens.
Over the past twenty-seven years, the Queens Alumni Chapter has provided service to the Queens community and has implemented programs consistent with the Fraternity's objectives such as:

• Annual “Salute to Achiever’s” Celebration – an award ceremony where we recognized Kappa Men in the metropolitan area for their Leadership, Dedication, and Vision
• Annual Health Fair
• Feed the Needy

• Adopt-a-Family
• Toy Drive programs
• Financial Aid programs for college bound students
• Sunday of Hope - is a program benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. where each chapter partners with a church to raise money.
• Kappas against Sexual & Domestic Violence
• Adopt-a-Highway Beautification Project
• NY Cares Community Service programs
• Voter Registration and Awareness programs

The Queens Alumni Chapter has also received tremendous accolades from the Fraternity as well as the community:

• Northeastern Province Reclamation Chapter of the Year from 2002-04 and 2006
• National Reclamation Chapter of the year in 2009
•Northeastern Province Chapter of the Year in 2005, 2006, and 2007
• Declaration of Honor: Proclamation from the Borough President of Queens Helen M. Marshall in 2006
•Declaration of Honor: Proclamation from the Borough President of Queens Helen M. Marshall in 2010


One of the chapter's main focuses has been the guidance of young, predominantly urban males in an effort to assist them in their journey to becoming responsible and productive MEN. Through nurturing relationships and involvement with four undergraduate chapters, a broad base Guide Right program featuring the “Kappa Development League” located at the Queens Eagle Academy for Young Men and individually committed efforts of its membership, the Queens Alumni Chapter seeks to instill in young urban males a sense of pride, determination, respect, responsibility, knowledge of self, academic excellence, maturity and moral integrity.

Dining With the Kappas

On Wednesday March 28, 2012, the brothers of the Queens Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. hosted our iKARE (International Kappa Action Relief Effort) initiative titled Dining with the Kappas at TGI Fridays in Valley Stream. This event was coordinated by Vice Polemarch Leon Heyliger and was well organized. Several members of the fraternity came out to support the cause as well as the friends and family members of brothers. The idea behind Dining with the Kappas is that 20% of every bill would be donated to relief funds for disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. This is a national initiative of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and has been put in place since the tragic earthquake that hit Haiti a few years back. Special thank you to the brothers, their families, and the friends that came out and supported the event. Brothers in attendance were Jermaine Wright, Derrick Isaac, Thierry Cazeau, Caleb Terry, Edwidge Turenne, Caron Washington, Daniel Dodard, Ed Moore, Derrick Bryant, & Carl Baker. We would also like to thank anyone else that may have supported throughout the day but was unable to attend dinner with the bros towards the later part of the night.
