  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the Greenville Mississippi Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity 
Inc. for their 70 years of service.
  The Greenville Mississippi Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi 
Fraternity, Inc. was chartered on February 14, 1954, by the late G.P. 
Maddox, he late B.L. Bell, the late Dr. Charles Holmes, the late Ray 
Brooks, the late A.C. Isaac, the late Robert Hall, the late Dr. Henry 
St. Hille, the late Sunny Kyles, and the late Arthur B. Peyton, Sr.
  Today, the brothers who make up the alumni chapter are from 
Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
  The Greenville Mississippi Alumni Chapter has sought ways to 
acknowledge brothers within their chapter who have made individual 
achievements in their path of life.
  Seventy years of the Greenville Mississippi Alumni Chapter has come 
with scholarship awards for men and women to highlight citizens who 
have contributed to serving the community, exceptional educational 
achievement, professional achievement, service to the fraternity, 
outstanding leadership, and brotherhood.
  Their continual leadership and service around Greenville, MS, and the 
greater Mississippi Delta have contributed positively to the region. 
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has sponsored events such as football 
bowl games, high school Greek shows, all-star basketball games, Miss 
Kappa Alpha Psi pageants, and the Arthur B. Peyton golf tournament. The 
chapter has also participated in the United Way housing initiative and 
pioneered events such as the inaugural All-White and Jean social events 
and New Year's with the Nupes.
  Celebrating 70 years of service is only possible with the hard work 
and dedication of brothers who have committed their time and effort to 
their fraternity.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
Greenville Mississippi Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, 
Inc.
