Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Returns to Charlotte For National Founder’s Day

(Philadelphia, PA), November 2008 – Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. released a detailed schedule of events for the 4th Annual National Founder’s Day Celebration commencing January 8-11, 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was announced that Dr. Ullysses McBride, 26th Grand Polemarch, will receive a tribute as the 2009 National Founder’s Day Special Honoree.

The celebration of Founder’s Day as a significant national affair began in 2006, when the Southwestern Province and the Brothers of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana Metropolitan area hosted the initial National Founder’s Day ceremonies.  Since then, National Founder’s Day has been hosted in Orlando (2007) and most recently Los Angeles (2008).

“Each year this event gets raised to another level,” Grand Polemarch Dwayne M. Murray stated. “It has always been my hope that we as a fraternity could come together as close to our true founding date and celebrate our beginning and rededicate ourselves to our future.  This is just one more step as we move toward celebrating National Founder’s Day on January 5th, 2011.”

The Brothers of the Middle Eastern Province, Charlotte Alumni, Alpha Epsilon, Gamma Delta, Zeta Delta and Zeta Sigma have been working diligently to prepare for this event and have released a very ambitious schedule, which includes:

• Cufflinks & Cocktails Networking Event - Jan. 8th
• Return to Charlotte Reception - Jan. 9th
• Closed Founder’s Day Banquet & Open Celebration Gala - Jan. 10th
• Sunday of Hope Program – Jan. 11th

As has been done at each previous National Founder’s Day, the fraternity will give a special honor to a Brother who is a quintessential example of the high ideals and continued dedication Founders’ Day is designed to illuminate.  This year Grand Polemarch Ullysses McBride (26th) joins our 17th and 25th, Grand Polemarchs Millspaugh and Bacon, who were honored in 2006 and 2008, respectively, on this most distinguished list.
