Province Council

 

Northern Province of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. 92n Province Council Meeting

On behalf of the Province Planning Committee, I am pleased to announce the opening of registration for the 92nd Northern Province Council, March 21 - March 24, 2024 in the beautiful city of Grand Rapids, Michigan and hosted by the Men and Silhouettes of the Grand Rapids Alumni Chapter.

This year we are excited to announce a couple of significant changes to our weekend agenda that are designed to make this Province Council one of your most memorable.  First we have arranged the opportunities for you to join the Brothers of GRAC in (3) Community Service Project.  With your participation, we will enhance the brand of our Fraternity, the image of the Province and GRAC, by providing meaningful service.  The initiative are listed below, along with the times so you may adjust your departure time to support these events.  Your Province Registration form will allow you to sign up for these initiatives.
  • ROOM TO READ - [10:15am-11:30am] - Embark on an inspiring journey with us at Brookwood Elementary for the Room to Read initiative!  Your support will not only shape the literary future of students but also underscore the vital importance of reading.  Be advised a background check is required and after you sign up, Brother Lorenzo Bradshaw will contact you to discuss how this can be handled.
  • LUNCH/FELLOWSHIP hosted by G.R.A.C. - [11:30am-12:30pm] - Take a pause and join us for a scrumptious lunch and heartwarming fellowship, graciously hosted by the Grand Rapids Alumni Chapter. It's more than just a meal—it's a fantastic opportunity to connect, share stories, and recharge for an afternoon of impactful adventures.
  • LEARN TO LIVE - [12:45pm-2:00pm] - Dive into the Learn to Live program at Alger Middle School, where your involvement will be a beacon of support for the educational growth of students. Your contribution extends to fostering appropriate engagement with law enforcement, potentially saving lives. Your impact will resonate long after the event concludes.
  • COMMUNITY FOOD TRUCK - FEEDING AMERICA - [3:00PM-5:15PM] - Round off the day with us at the Community Food Truck event, a dynamic collaboration with Feeding America. Your efforts will directly uplift those in need of food security within our Grand Rapids community. Let's join forces and create a lasting impact together!
The second change you will experience is with the agenda for the weekend.  We have opened up more time throughout the weekend agenda for fellowship and socializing, without short-cutting or eliminating the business of the Fraternity and the Province we came there for.
