The Centennial Founders Day of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Congratulations to Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. on today's occasion of its Centennial Anniversary.
Every Founders Day is important and meaningful. The 100th anniversary is the same, only magnified. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has thoughtfully planned for its Centennial to celebrate the occasion with its members, families, and friends. Members of Kappa Alpha Psi traveled to Indiana University where they were founded today. Members of the fraternity traveled to areas of significance to their founders in Indianapolis. To many, the thought of sustaining an organization through a hundred years may have been impossible to imagine. Certainly the Founders would have never imagined that they would become a Trending Topic on Twitter on this day. That is part of the beauty of fraternity. Many things have drastically changed during the past 100 years but the value of fraternity remains just as strong and relevant today.
Milestones such as this 100th anniversary give us cause to reflect, reconnect and rejoice. We remember the wonderful interfraternal leaders of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. such as Hilary "Hip" Holloway, who became the first African American to serve the Conference as President.
The fraternity will end the official celebration with its Centennial Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, July 5-10, 2011. With more than 35,000 members, families, and friends that are expected to attend, this will certainly be an event worthy of the Interfraternal Super Bowl of 2011.
