This concurrent resolution designates Wednesday, April 30, 2025, as Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, Day at the state capitol, honoring a historically significant African American fraternal organization founded in 1911 at Indiana University. The resolution provides historical context about the fraternity, noting its original charter as Kappa Alpha Nu, which was renamed Kappa Alpha Psi in 1915, and highlights its commitment to principles of achievement and service across undergraduate and alumni chapters nationwide. The document emphasizes the fraternity's growth and resilience, mentioning that it continued to expand despite interruptions during World War I and World War II, and recognizes two Louisiana natives who have served as Grand Polemarchs (the fraternity's top leadership position). By passing this resolution, the Louisiana Legislature aims to celebrate the fraternity's 114-year history, acknowledge its contributions to higher education and community service, and express support for its continued success and influence.
