On November 17th, 2007, brothers joined together to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the chartering of the Iota Beta of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. at California State University, Sacramento.
Brothers traveled from the Bay Area, Southern California, Texas, and Delaware to celebrate three decades of honorable achievement at Sac State. All told, 18 Iota Beta pledge lines were joined by brothers from Sacramento Alumni, Roseville Alumni, and Mu Omega.
Rather than having a traditional keynote speaker, brothers from each of IB's decades spoke on behalf of their respective decades. Perrish Geary represented the latest generation; Montie Rattler spoke about the middle generation; and Heyman Matlock discussed the chapter's early years. In a true act of fraternity, Brother Matlock paid homage to Richard Harris, the brother whose vision made Sacramento Alumni (1974) and Iota Beta (1977) a reality.
During the evening's awards program, Brothers Matlock (1976) and Forrest Williams Jr. (1991) were recognized for the distinction serving as presidents of Associated Students Inc. (ASI) while at Sac State, while Larry Lewis (1989) was acknowledged for his extraordinary service to Iota Beta.
To cap off the event, Iota Beta presented a check to the Sacramento Achievement Foundation for the establishment of a building fund. It is the chapters' hope that all brothers in the greater Sacramento area will support this fund so that, in the near future, we can have a place to call "home".
