When the Far Western Region of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority asked the brothers to participate in their Regional Conference on August 8 - 12, the Nupes didn't hesitate to step up.
On Thursday, Sacramento and Roseville Alumni chapters co-hosted a hospitality suite. Brother Lynn Greer made some of his notoriously tasty Cajun comfort food, including gumbo, chicken, and sweet potato bread, while Brother Joe Brown put his professional bartending skills to work to serve pink and green cocktails for the ladies.
The following evening, Polemarch Ed Sanders welcomed the ladies at their public meeting, where the Kappas were the clear winners in the friendly battle amongst the fraternities to impress their hosts. In the community awards portion of the program, the 100 Black Men of Sacramento were recognized for thier work; the award was accepted by their president, Brother Darryl Jenkins.
The conference culminated on Saturday with a formal banquet and ball. Keynote speaker and Alpha Phi Alpha member Dr. Cornell West was joined by Brother Tavis Smiley, who flew in from Los Angeles for the event.
Thanks to everyone who helped put Kappa's best foot forward to show the AKAs a good time, particularly Brothers David Mack, Kevin Hale, George Wells, George Blue, Brod Boyd, James Reede, Geoff Evans, Alex Baker and Dan Fontenot.
