      HONORING THE EASTERN PROVINCE OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY 
                INCORPORATED ON THEIR 100TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. GLENN IVEY

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 27, 2025

  Mr. IVEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize the 
Eastern Province of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated on the 
historic milestone of 100 years of achievement and service. Since 1925, 
when Brother Earl B. Dickerson, the 5th Grand Polemarch of Kappa Alpha 
Psi, appointed John Miller Marquees as the first Eastern Province 
Polemarch, the province has exhibited the fundamental purpose of the 
organization achievement in every field of human endeavor.
  As a proud member of the Hyattsville-Landover Alumni Chapter of Kappa 
Alpha Psi, I have seen first-hand the commitment to excellence, 
brotherhood, and the betterment of mankind exhibited by the Eastern 
Province. With 5 total regions, including all of Washington, D.C., 
Virginia, Bermuda, and Maryland, the Eastern Province includes over 100 
undergraduate and alumni chapters, whose God-fearing and serious minded 
men have positively contributed to society and the fraternity for the 
past 100 years.
  The Eastern Province of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated 
serves as an embodiment of the organization's core values and 
principles. Under the 30th administration of the province, I am certain 
that they will continue in the mission and ideals set forth by our 
illustrious founders. I congratulate them again on 100 years.
