      90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KAPPA ALPHA PSI TAMPA ALUMNI CHAPTER

 Mr. NELSON. Mr. President, I would like to recognize and 
celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Tampa alumni chapter of Kappa 
Alpha Psi fraternity. For 90 years, the members of the Tampa alumni 
chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi have provided leadership, dedication, and 
service to Tampa. Through their community initiatives and fundraisers, 
they have helped thousands in their community. The Tampa alumni chapter 
of Kappa Alpha Psi was founded in 1928 on the belief of service to one 
another and the community, during a time when African Americans faced 
legal and institutional discrimination both on and off college 
campuses. The current members of the alumni chapter have dedicated 
their time to providing leadership and service in their community, most 
recently organizing a Martin Luther King, Jr., day of service focused 
on disaster preparedness.
  The past and present members of the Tampa Alumni Chapter of Kappa 
Alpha Psi fraternity should inspire everyone to make their own 
communities better. One quality members of Kappa Alpha Psi strive for 
is excellence in everything they do, and over the past 90 years, the 
members of the Tampa alumni chapter have provided excellent leadership 
and service to their community in Tampa. The celebration and reflection 
of 90 years of service shows how far we have come in the United States 
and how much work is still left to do.
