Senate Resolution No. 1973

BY: Senator PARKER

COMMENDING the Delta Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity upon the occasion of its 75th Diamond Anniversary Celebration

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and pay tribute to those organizations of high purpose and worthy accomplishment whose enduring commitment to brotherhood, scholarship, and service has enriched the civic and educational life of the State of New York; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend the Delta Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., upon the occasion of its 75th Diamond Anniversary Celebration, to be held April 23-26, 2026; and

WHEREAS, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded on January 5, 1911, at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, making it one of the oldest and most distinguished historically Black fraternities in the United States; since its founding, Kappa Alpha Psi has remained steadfast in its commitment to achievement in every field of human endeavor, building a legacy of scholarship, leadership, service, and fraternal excellence that has shaped the lives of men and communities across this Nation and beyond; and

WHEREAS, The Delta Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was established in 1951 at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, and for 75 years, has stood as a pillar of brotherhood and achievement on the Syracuse University campus, cultivating generations of principled leaders and dedicated servants of the public good; and

WHEREAS, The 75th Diamond Anniversary Celebration, under the leadership of Brother Malik Evans, represents a historic homecoming for brothers initiated at the Delta Beta Chapter, gathering men whose shared experiences, enduring bonds, and collective contributions to their communities speak to the transformative power of fraternal brotherhood; and

WHEREAS, The Anniversary weekend's program, encompassing fellowship events, workshops facilitated by brothers of the fraternity, the 75th Diamond Kabaret, and campus events, reflects the Chapter's commitment to honoring its history, celebrating its present strength, and investing in its future through scholarship support via the Delta Beta Executive Alumni Foundation; and

WHEREAS, The Diamond Anniversary of the Delta Beta Chapter is a milestone that invites reflection on not only what this Chapter has built over 75 years at Syracuse University but also the extraordinary legacy of Kappa Alpha Psi as a whole--an organization that has produced governors, senators, judges, educators, physicians, artists, athletes, and community leaders who have made New York State and this Nation immeasurably richer; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proudly moved to honor the Delta Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, its alumni, and its current members, who have carried forward the light of this Chapter with dedication, distinction, and a love of brotherhood that 75 years have only deepened; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to commend the Delta Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, upon the occasion of its 75th Diamond Anniversary Celebration, and to extend congratulations on 75 years of brotherhood, scholarship, and service; and be it further

RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to the officers, alumni, and members of the Delta Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity in recognition of this historic milestone and their enduring contributions to the communities of New York State.
