(Nu Rho Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi makes it clear that the NUPES RUN THE YARD!)

Let us all extend our congrats to the premier fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. founded on the predominantly white campus of Indiana University on January 5th, 1911 in Bloomington, Indiana. 10 founders successfully overcame hardships and doubts to bring something new founded on the principles of achievement to a campus where black men were not expected to make it intellectually, physically and mentally. This past week, my fraternity celebrated 100 years of achievement.

Throughout the years, Kappa men, also known as Nupes,  have left their mark in an extensive array of industries. Some noteworthy names include, Arthur Ashe Johnny Cochran, Lorenzo Wright, Robert Johnson, Tavis Smiley, Percy Sutton, Cedric the Entertainer among others. I celebrated with my brothers in New York, attending a documentary release hosted by some New York Nupes. We also showed our support by attending the Touch of Klass event (pictured below). This centennial can only mean more excellent things for the Nupes. In a few months, our biennial CONCLAVE event will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana. I cannot express how much the Nupes take over a city for a conclave event. Soulja Boy’s Pretty Boy Swag sums it up accurately. This will be a year of EPIC proportions.
