Hampton-Newport News (VA) Alumni Chapter
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated
P.O. Box 8135 , Hampton, VA 23666

Dear Brothers,

75 illustrious years of excellence and achievement within the fraternity is
unmistakably paramount! From a Kappa Lore perspective, August 4, 1945, is a
day that will long live in the registry of our profound past. 17 Peninsula Kappa
Men (Brothers Hiram Akers, Sr., Dr. Robert Boyd, Earl Foster, Stanley Land,
Wendell Robins, Sr., Churchill Robinson, William D. Scales, Jr., Dr. A.T. Scott,
Sr., Frederick C. Scott, Paul L. D. Smith, William R. Walker, Jr., Stuart L.
Whiting, Charles C. Wilson, Quentin J. Adderly, Arthur Hamlet, and Edward D.
Thomas to whom we owe the utmost of due deference) led by our own Honorable
Brother Herodotus D. Alston proudly accepted their charter from Province
Polemarch W. Henry Green, and Laurel Wreath holder Judge Armond W. Scott.

ALL of you now are entrenched in the lineage of this deep and tenured history.
The chapter's membership has consistently been comprised of Kappa Men from
both Hampton and Newport News and because of so (in the lat e 1970s), the
chapter petitioned the Grand Board to alter its designation to "Hampton-
Newport News." The petition was approved in September 1979. Presentl y, the
chapter bolsters a membership of over 120+ men living throughout the entire
Hampton Roads locale. From what aspired from a mere idea of thought, has now
flourished into one of best success stories in Kappa history!

Let us grasp onto the excitement and joy that shines its everlasting light on
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated and navigate our esteemed chapter
towards the continuance of the single-most contr ibuting platform that has
brought us all this far - ACHIEVEMENT - injecting the kinship of brotherly
love that has brought us into an astounding 75 years of fraternal existence.
Happy Charter Day to all my Great Nupes!! YO YO!! As always, I remain...

Yours In the Bond,
