KAPPA NEWS….
Grand Polemarch Adds Reclamation Drive To National Listening Tour Initiative
(Philadelphia, PA), August, 14, 2008 – Grand Polemarch Dwayne M. Murray announced today that he has added a reclamation component to the administration’s “National Listening Tour” Initiative for fiscal year 2008-2009. “I have heard from hundreds of Brothers in my travels this year,” Brother Murray said in announcing the addition of the reclamation component, “who urgently want to bring Brothers back into the fold; to have undergraduates transition from undergraduate to alumni chapters; and to find the ingredient that will get them energized and actively willing to be participants in the building of our Bond.”
The Reclamation Drive will be referred to as the “One Kappa” initiative and will consist of the following:
• UNITY: All participating chapters create a unity committee of members to facilitate an agenda highlighting the needs and functions of each chapter, a unifying theme unique to their areas and coordinate the various roles of each chapter during the event.
• COMMUNICATION: The Unity group will coordinate with International Headquarters to receive a detailed contact sheet of active and inactive members within their chapters’ coverage area to maximize attendance and generate high interest and enthusiasm to be reclaimed.
• PRESENTATION: Area chapters will collaborate on a video and/or Power Point presentation to illustrate the programs and initiatives of each chapter and in addition, individual chapters will create an informative and extensive presentation of its programs and initiatives, which highlight the positive role each plays in the communities they serve and emphasizes its need for additional Brothers to join their efforts. This should be conducted in individual presentations by Chapter
Polemarchs and individual display tables designed to enhance Chapter presentations.
• BROTHERHOOD: The Grand Polemarch will re-emphasize the need to have our membership recognize three things:
Results not Recognition;
-
Fraternity not Chapter; and,
-
One Kappa, Creating Inspiration: A Call to Service.
“The key to this approach,” Leonard Clemons, Chairman of Reclamation said, “is chapter cooperation, an ambitious agenda and the excitement this kind of program can have on members.” The proposal of combining reclamation into the “Listening Tours” was piloted as part of the Atlanta-area tour earlier this summer. Reflecting on that event Brother Murray recalled, “the approach was not only successful but inspiring to see. I was so proud to witness the type of dedication our Brothers exhibited and wanted that feeling to be felt across our Bond in each and every chapter.”
