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.

AIDS Walk 2012

On Sunday May 20th,  Brothers from Queens Alumni, Jersey City, Brooklyn-Long Island and Delta Mu participated in the 2012 AIDS WALK New York to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. The money raised from the walk will go to help people with HIV maintain and improve their health and independence; and keep the prevention, treatment and cure of HIV/AIDS an urgent national and local priority. Joined by other organizations and individuals in New York City totaling 45,000 Brothers walked the 10 kilometer course. Brothers were able to complete the rigorous 10 kilometer walk which began on 59th St and 5th Ave inside Central Park, continued through the park to 110th St then up 110th St to Riverside Drive and back into Central Park.

 

Team QA NUPES was able to raise approximately $750. Even though there has been a lot of publicity about drug treatments which are prolonging the lives of individuals with HIV and AIDS, they don't work for everyone and there is still no cure in sight. Moreover, young people are still getting infected at alarmingly high rates. But because of the money team QA NUPES raised a difference will be made in the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV and AIDS.
