WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, | ||
Incorporated, for hosting the 2021 Kappa Kamp Summer Enrichment | ||
Program; and | ||
WHEREAS, Kappa Alpha Psi was founded in 1911, and over the | ||
years, its members have upheld a proud tradition of public | ||
service through their ongoing support of service projects that | ||
inspire productivity and benefit the community; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Kappa Kamp Summer Enrichment Program was | ||
established in 1995 to provide young men with engaging | ||
opportunities to develop productive life skills; Maurice West | ||
currently guides the camp program in his service as its national | ||
chairman; and | ||
WHEREAS, The summer enrichment camp helps motivate | ||
students in a structured setting that is both educational and | ||
recreational; students are exposed to activities that are rich in | ||
cultural traditions and that help to further their understanding | ||
of science and technology; the camp's programs also promote the | ||
development of reading, writing, and speaking skills while | ||
giving students the opportunity to build lasting friendships in a | ||
safe, faith-based environment; and | ||
WHEREAS, This year, the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity has | ||
partnered with Paul Quinn College to host the camp's activities; | ||
this joint effort will help encourage young people to seek higher | ||
education opportunities and to become confident in their | ||
potential for great accomplishments; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with Kappa Alpha Psi | ||
Fraternity, Incorporated, for their ongoing commitment of | ||
service to the community and extend to all best wishes for a | ||
successful 2021 Kappa Kamp Summer Enrichment Program; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the fraternity as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
