Men of Kappa Alpha Psi that you should follow on social media in 2020
Some may or not know but January 5th is the founders day to then men of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. My fraternity. I joined the fraternity back in 2010 at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. What drew me to this organization was the fraternities motto. “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor” . To me that meant , I could pursue any career and be accepted as long as I’m achieving at it. Of course the field had to be a something the provides a positive service to the world.
Becoming a NUPE was one of the biggest investments I made in my life, it has helped me overcome so many adversities plus the network is beyond amazing. I’ve met countless amazing brothers since my induction. I’ve created formed bonds that will last a life time. Not everyone will have the luxury of joining our fraternity, but that will not stop you from learning about some oof dope members. Who knows you may build your own bond with them. Below you will find a few of the thousands of NUPES who are achieving. Follow these guys to see what they got going on.
