Nupes Celebrate King's Dream, Prepare for Obama's Inauguration

On January 19th, Kappas and Kappa Leaguers in the Sacramento area participated in the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day march. Starting at Sacramento City College, the brothers joined the other NPHC organizations on a 3.5 mile march past the State Capitol to the Sacramento Convention Center.

This day's march was special, as many participants came out to answer the national call to public service by Barack Obama, who would be inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States on the following day.

Thanks to all of the brothers who participated in the day's activities: George Blue, Ken Davis, Parrish Geary, Will Grey, Mark Havener, Chad Johnson, Claudel Kinnex, David Mack, Robert Matthews, Heyman Matlock, Rashad Parnell, Ed Sanders, Eric Walker, George Wells, Forrest Williams and Merrell Wilson!

Team Kappa Runs to Feed the Hungry

On Thanksgiving morning, the brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi helped support those who need a hand. Brothers from Sacramento Alumni and Iota Beta joined a record crowd of more than 28,000 to support the Sacramento Food Bank's 15th annual "Run to Feed the Hungry", held on the campus of California State University, Sacramento and the neighborhood of East Sacramento.

Thanks to "Team Kappa"--Brothers Anthony Brockington, Ken Davis, Will Grey, Nick Jackson, Talib Murray, Stephen Nichols, Ed Sanders, BJ Snowden, and Torry Winn--for getting up early on a holiday morning to support the cause!

Kappas Participate in HBCU activities

Sacramento hosted the Capitol City Football Classic from September 11-13. The weekend celebrated Historically Black Colleges and Universities, including a scholarship fundraiser, a step show, a college fair, and culminated with a football game and battle of the bands between Texas Southern University and Shaw University.

On Thursday, brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi attended the U-CAN Go To College Network's 20th Annual Scholarship, held in the Downtown Sheraton Grand Hotel. Among the brothers in attendance were Lyn Corbett, Cliff Jones, Walter Jones, Ed Lewis, Stephen Nichols, Ed Sanders, Reggie Sears, Sherod Thaxton, Roger Warrick, Frank Withrow and Leroy Worthy.

At Friday night's step show, the Nupes took home first place. Congratulations to Alex Baker--a recent graduate of Iota Beta (Sac State) and a Masters student at Nu Sigma (Cal State East Bay)--and his step team!

On Saturday, the brothers of Sacramento Alumni hosted a tailgate party prior to the football game and, once the game was over, the brothers of Roseville Alumni hosted a hospitality suite.

Thanks to all of the brothers who made sure that Kappa was well-represented this weekend; when we put our hearts into it, we can support education, win step shows, and have fun...all at the same time!

Kappas Help Fight Childhood Disease

Once again, Kappa Alpha Psi has made a commitment to assist St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in its efforts to fight catastrophic childhood diseases.

St. Jude is one of the world’s premier centers for research and treatment of diseases in children. In addition to treating pediatric cancers, St. Jude has one of the largest pediatric sickle cell research and treatment programs in the world.

The first desegregated hospital in its region, no child is denied treatment at St. Jude based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

The Sacramento Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi has partnered with Faith Fellowship Community Church to collect a love offering for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Details of the event can be found below:
