What you missed from NatCon2013



From California to Connecticut, brothers from all over the United States joined hands in an amazing event, National Convention 2013. This biennial event is one of the greatest moments of fellowship offered to brothers of the fraternity. As you engage in workshops, leadership development, the occasional Red Sox game, and interaction with your fellow brothers, you become a better person and brother for your chapter. If you were unable to join the revolution this year, we want to bring you up to speed on the various changes and new additions to the fraternity.

National Council:
Here are your newly elected national officers for Kappa Kappa Psi.
President - Christine Beason
Vice President of Colonization and Membership - Jack Lee
Vice President of Programs - Adam Bates
Vice President of Student Affairs - Kelly Nellis
Vice President of Professional Relations - Travis Cross
Board of Trustees - Rod Chesnutt, Eric Morson, and Daniel George
Congratulations brothers!!

Honorary Membership:
As the highest honor you can bestow upon someone from this fraternity, honorary membership has had a few changes to increase its value. The reasons behind these changes are that some chapters have been handing out honorary membership to individuals or inanimate objects to replace active membership. 
Honorary membership is no longer allowed to be given to undergraduate students.
Honorary membership cost has been raised to $50 from $35.

Style Guide and Brand:
How many variations of the crest, flag, or other fraternity symbols have you seen floating around the Internet or on t-shirts? We are one fraternity and should all be using the same designs. To ensure this, a committee of brothers were assembled to create the brand and style guide for Kappa Kappa Psi. They narrowed down the variations to the crest, created a new brand, and a new way of presenting our letters!

National Convention 2015 will be held in Lexington, Kentucky!! Begin planning for your trip now. The rewards are countless when your chapter attends National Convention. If you want a better chapter, here is a place to help you get there. Fundraise and get as many brothers there as possible. 

Here is a video presented to the brothers during a separate session. It is very strong and is something we all need to pay attention to. Where do our values come from?

Have a great time in your various band camps and enjoy the start of school. Love you, brothers.

AEA,

Allen
