Kappas on Capitol Hill

The James "Biff" Carter Legislative Conference (aka "Kappas on Capitol Hill") brings together members of Kappa Alpha Psi to effect meaningful change. Once every year, the group meets in the District of Columbia to understand current legislation that affects members of our communities, and to develop talking points and plans of action for engaging elected representatives in the House, the Senate, and respective state assemblies, and local city halls. The event also creates opportunities for community leaders in the fraternity to meet with, and hear from current members of the House and Senate, who are also members of the fraternity. Since 1980, 13 members of the fraternity have served in the United States House of Representatives, the most by any member organization of the National Pan Hellenic Council.

## History

The Kappa Alpha Psi Legislative Conference, as it was originally named, was established by Congressman John Conyers (Gamma Eta, 1951) in 2002. The event was originally conceived by James T. Carter Jr. (Xi, 1948), a retired teacher from the DC public school system, who became an aide to Congressman Conyers. It was Carter's vision to leverage to size and breadth of the fraternity to mobilize legislators, regulators, and activists, and, at the same time, bolster the influence of the Congressional Black Caucus. After Carter died in 1999, the event was renamed in his honor.  Some of the topics discussed at the annual James "Biff" Carter Legislative Conference include immigration policy, criminal justice reform, voting rights, and United States Supreme Court vacancies.

In 2018, newly-elected Congressman A. Donald McEachin (Beta Kappa, 1980) developed and hosted the first ever Kappa League on Capitol Hill program. This one day event brings together teenage members of the fraternity's Kappa League from various chapters to learn about careers in government, meet current members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and tour the Capitol.
Chi

Chi was chartered on February 15, 1924, at **Boston University** in Boston, Massachusetts. It was the 22nd undergraduate chapter of the fraternity, the fifth undergraduate charter to be awarded in the then-Eastern Province (now Northeastern Province), and the first chapter of the fraternity in the state of Massachusetts. The chapter is advised by Boston (MA) Alumni. It maintains a digital presence on the web, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube

## History

The charter members of Chi were Maceo Hubbard (Epsilon, 1918), who served as the chapter's first polemarch, Julian Evans (Xi, 1920), Courtney Dooley, Theodore Nathaniel D. Scott (Chi, 1924), J. Logan Jenkins, and Jon Hunter.

The chapter was established by three undergraduate and three graduate students who were studying at Boston area schools. Hubbard was a law student at Harvard University, while Evans and Scott were law students at Boston University. Dooley and Hunter were enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and finally, Jenkins was a recent alumnus of Tufts University. Within a month of its chartering, Chi initiated its first member, Clifford A. Crawford (Chi, 1924), a student at Tufts University.

## Chapter Invisible

It is with sincere regret that we announce the passing of the following members:

* Charter member **Maceo Hubbard** (Epsilon, 1918) died on July 17, 1991, at his home in Chevy Chase, Maryland; he was 92 years old.

## Fraternal Contributions

Chi has made significant contributions toward the advancement of the fraternity. The chapter was instrumental in establishing Theta Iota (MIT, Harvard & Tufts) and Lambda Xi (Brown University). Among its members is the current executive director of the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation, L'Mani Viney (Chi, 1993) and past Northeastern Province Junior Vice Polemarch, James B. Kale (Chi, 2014).

About

Nupepedia is a digital encyclopedia containing facts, figures, histories and memories relating to **Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.** The purpose of this forum is to document the history of the fraternity in a manner that is easy to access and easy to digest.

## Why Was Nupepedia Created

Kappa Alpha Psi celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2011 and has over 150,000 members. It operates 721 undergraduate and alumni chapters in 46 states in the United States and eight countries. As a consequence of a long history, wide appeal, and global reach, much of what happens in "Kappaland" has never been adequately documented.

Nupepedia is a semi-open forum designed to capture information about the Fraternity that might not be published in the history books or covered its main publication, the ***Kappa Journal**.* Because information about members, chapters, meetings, events, and culture,is nevertheless important, if only to a subset of the fraternity's membership, this central repository was created to accurately record this content.

## Who Owns Nupepedia

Nupepedia is the brainchild of Hermann Mazard (Theta Iota, Spr '85), a member of Brooklyn-Long Island (NY) Alumni. The site is in the alpha stage of development and the forum is considered a prototype. Updates are centrally administered by **Nupepedians**, a self-organized group of historians led by Mazard.

Upon launch of a private beta, a plan will be developed regarding a public beta version, and the time-frame and scope for deployment. All material posted is considered ceded to, and owned by, **Nupepedia**, an S-Corporation formed to house the assets and intellectual property of the site. The company makes no claim of accuracy of, or supervision over, any content posted by members of the public.

## Jäsenet

### Nykyiset jäsenet

* Garnet - Käytännössä ryhmän päällikkö sekä fuusio, joka käyttää suojakäsineitä aseenaan. Hän liittyi ryhmään päättäessään että jäisi pysyväksi fuusioksi ja tavatessaan Rose Quartzin.
	+ Sapphire - Rauhallinen jalokivi ja toinen puolikas Garnetista. Hänen aseestaan ei ole vielä tietoa. Hän oli aikoinaan Blue Diamondin alainen, mutta hänestä tuli hylkiö kun hän vahingossa yhdistyi Rubyn kanssa. He päättivät jäädä pysyväksi fuusioksi ja liittyivät Crystal Gemseihin.
	+ Ruby - Äkkipikainen jalokivi ja toinen puolikas Garnetista. Hän käyttää aseenaan yhtä suojakäsinettä. Hän oli alunperin matalan tason Homeworld -jalokivi ja sotilas, mutta vahingossa yhdistyi Sapphiren kanssa jolloin he päättivät karata. Pian he liittyivät Crystal Gemseihin ja päättivät jäädä pysyväksi fuusioksi.
* Amethyst - Ryhmän huoleton jäsen, joka käyttää aseenaan kolmipäistä ruoskaa. Toisin kuin muut jalokivet (jos Steveniä ei lasketa mukaan), hänet luotiin maapallolla sijaitsevassa Kindergartenissa.
* Pearl - Ryhmän älyllinen ja tarkka jäsen, joka käyttää aseenaan keihästä. Hän ja Rose Quartz olivat ryhmän ensimmäisiä jäseniä.
* Steven Universe - Ryhmän nuori jäsen, joka on puoliksi ihminen sekä käyttää aseenaan kilpeä. Hän on Rose Quartzin, ryhmän perustajan, poika, joka luovutti fyysisen muotonsa poikansa syntymiseen.
* Peridot - Ryhmästä lapsenomaisin, uteliaisin ja itsepäisin. Hän on synnynäinen teknikko ja Kindergartenin valjoja. Hän oli ensin Crystal Gems -ryhmän vihollinen, mutta hänestä tuli virallinen ryhmän jäsen kun hän lopetti Yellow Diamondin tottelemisen jaksossa *Message Received*.

### Entiset jäsenet

* Rose Quartz - Stevenin äiti, entinen ryhmän johtaja ja sen perustaja, joka uskoi että kaikki elävä on kallisarvoista. Hän luovutti fyysisen muotonsa poikansa syntymiseen.

Dartmouth College (Geisel)

The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College was established in 1797 by Nathan Smith, a Harvard-educated New Englander, who received his medical training in Edinburgh, Scotland. Dartmouth Medical School, as it was originally named, is the fourth-oldest medical school in the United States and is ranked as a "top medical school" by *US News & World Report* for both primary care and biomedical research. The institution grants the Doctor of Medicine (MD), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees, Master of Public Health (MPH), and Master of Science (MS) degrees. The school has a student body of about 700 students, who receive medical training in the classroom as well as at numerous clinical partners, including Dartmouth-Hitchcock (NH) Medical Center, White River Junction (VT) VA Medical Center, California Pacific (CA) Medical Center, and Manchester (NH) VA Medical Center.

## Black History

Dartmouth Medical School conferred medical degrees to black enrollees beginning in the late nineteenth century. Many were from Liberia, a resettlement colony in West Africa established in 1821 for American free blacks and freed slaves. The school's earliest alumni include:

* Louis Charles Roudanez (Geisel, 1857)
* John Anthony Parm (Geisel, 1871)
* John Naustedla Lewis (Geisel, 1873)
* Hilary John Moore (Geisel, 1883)
* Julius Purcell Haynes (Geisel, 1888)
* George Alexandre Roudanez (Geisel, 1890)

Ivy League Nupes

The Ivy League is a collegiate collegiate athletic conference comprising sports teams from private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. It was established in 1954 to promote fair competition amongst student athletes with similar backgrounds, interests, and goals. Seven of the league's members institutions, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale, were among the nine colonial colleges and universities established before the Revolutionary War (the other two being Rutgers University and the College of William and Mary). Cornell University, which was established after the American Civil War, was included as a result of its proximity to member institutions and similar admissions criteria, academic focus, and need-based financial aid.

The term "Ivy League" connotes academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism, all of which are consistent with the aims, goals, and values of Kappa Alpha Psi. The following is a listing of the fraternity's chapters at Ivy League member institutions.

## Trivia

* Only seven charters were awarded to Ivy League member schools. Students enrolled at Harvard University are initiated at, and affiliated with, Theta Iota, whose charter is based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
* Members of the fraternity enrolled at Dartmouth College from 1982 through 1987 were initiated at Theta Iota. They are considered dual alumni of both Theta Iota and Mu Chi.
* The first charter awarded to an Ivy League member institution was Iota Phi at Cornell University. There is no charter at Harvard University. At the time the Omicron and Delta Eta charters were awarded to Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania, respectively, the Ivy League had yet to come into existence.
* Members of the fraternity enrolled at Yale University in 1986 were initiated at Lambda Xi. They are considered dual alumni of both Lambda Xi and Nu Gamma.

New Herclam

New Herclam is the capital city of Exelcis. It was founded by emperor M'disho I in the year 674 B.X. It is bordered by forests on all sides apart from the seafront.

## Toponymy

New Herclam is named after the original village of Herclam which was founded on the first expedition to Exelcis made by John lahrimer. Unfortunate, Lahrimer placed the village next to fantagorren forest and it was shortly decimated.

The name Herclam comes from saint Herrcliom who was the patron saint of exploration. The name Herrcliom then evolved into Herclam.

Abbott, the publisher of the *Chicago Defender*, one of the most influential newspapers of its day.

The Laurel Wreath Award is the highest award presented to a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity; it is bestowed upon members who demonstrate extra-meritorious achievements that are at least national, or international, in scope and effect. Recipients are selected based on petitions submitted to the Laurel Wreath Commission, a 13-member national committee whose members are appointed by the Grand Polemarch.

## Recipients

Grand Polemarch

Grand Polemarch is the highest office that can be held by a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. The holder of this office serves as the fraternity's national president and chairman of the Grand Board of Directors, which is tasked with managing the affairs of Kappa Alpha Psi. The Grand Polemarch also serves as the fraternity's head of state at gatherings that include heads of other Greek-letter organizations, university officials, business executives, politicians, and community leaders.

## Etymology

The term polemarch comes from Ancient Greece. The title is derived from *polemos,* meaning war, and *archon,* meaning ruler or leader. The name suggests that the polemarchos' original function might have been to command an army. Eventually military command, however, was transferred to the strategoi (*στρατηγοί*) of Ancient Greece. By 487/486 BC, polemarchoses no longer had military authority. Thereafter their main functions were administrative and legal.

## Relationship with Province Polemarchs

The fraternity is divided into twelve administrative regions, called provinces, and the representative of the Grand Polemarch in each region is the Province Polemarch. Decisions made by province polemarchs carry and weight of authority of the Grand Polemarch and are backed by the full faith and credit of the national organization. For this reason, province polemarchs are not elected; rather, they are hand-picked appointments of the Grand Polemarch and they serve at his pleasure, solely.

## History

The following is a summary of the fraternity's past Grand Polemarchs.
Crown of Bishutep

The crown of Bishutep is the royal crown that is worn by all of the known Exelcian emperors. It was forged by emperor M'disho I in the year 674 B.X. A popular legend among the townsfolk of New Herclam is that the jewels of the crown were enchanted by the legendary enchanter, Talbot Bethrimov.

The only known Exelcian Emperor who didn't wear this crown was emperor Xhail I Neolsk who never wore it and instead wore a simple gold headress inscribed with the words: Fiat pax in mundo.

Wind of fury

> "Watch in amazement as I create a burst of wind like none ever made before!" *Wind of Fur*y
>
>

Wind of fury was a famous wizard or Lahstari who was mainly known for his wind powers and death. For many years he was quite possibly one of the most powerful wizards in the world but he was eventually killed by showing his powers off. He also happened to have an eagles head, a trait exhibited in many early wizards but not seen much anymore.

## Death

Wind of fury is mainly remembered for his famous and impressive death. What happened was this, Wind of Fury was extremely proud and vain. One day in the year 498 B.X, he was challenged by a fellow wizard to create a powerful burst of wind like the type not seen since the Elder Days. Wind of Fury accepted this task and soon a great stream of wind burst from behind him. Wind of Fury quickly realised his mistake when he was lifted into the air by the force of his own wind! According to ancient records, his wind was so powerful that for centuries afterwards, most trees and plants grew sideways. Soon Wind of Fury was dashed against the rocks of Alervia and was then thrown into the ocean. His funeral was held soon after and his life was told as a bedtime story to children for years afterwards as a message to not be vain and proud.
Marie Castole

> "I may be the wife an emperor, but that makes me no more important than any other woman" *Marie Castole*
>
>

 Nickname
 Spouse

Mary Castole was the wife of emperor M'disho I. She was one of the members of the first successful expedition to Exelcis. We know little about her apart from what we can glean from her journal.

## Early Life

Marie was born to Edweard and Abelina Castole in 689 B.X. She was brought up with a good education as her parents were quite rich. She appears to have been bullied due to her buck teeth and she seems to have been an atheist. Strangely, none of the portraits depicting her appear to show the buck teeth. In 674 B.X she joined the first expedition to Exelcis. It was around this time that she also started keeping a journal.

## Marriage

In the year 663 B.X, Marie married M'disho I. Her journals record the event as: *"*A *joyful affair in which the residents of the town were dressed in their best attire. Long after midnight there was still singing and dancing with the local pubs being* *flocked overnight by happy guests. At 5,* *I retired to my bedchamber."*

It seems that Marie was very kind and would often give food to the poor people of New Herclam. She was also very happy and found joy in the simple parts of life such as painting and the like.

## Later life and death

In her older years, Marie remained happy and charitable up until the death of her huspand in 639 B.X. This threw her into a depression from which she never recovered. She abruptly drew from public life and stayed this way until her death from old age in 623 B.X.
Nu Tau

Nu Tau was chartered on March 10, 1989, at the **University of** **Massachusetts Amherst** in Amherst, Massachusetts. It was the 31st undergraduate chapter of the Northeastern Province and the third to be chartered in the state of Massachusetts. Its reach also includes Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, American International College in Springfield, Massachusetts, Springfield College, in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Westfield State University in Westfield, Massachusetts.

## History

Kappa Alpha Psi was established at the University of Massachusetts Amherst with the initiation of Genesis Eight, the inaugural pledge class on May 5, 1984. The university remained a colony of Theta Iota for five years until the Nu Tau charter was awarded on March 10, 1989.

## Chapter Invisible

It is with sincere regret that we announce the passing of the following members:

* Terrell Trent Wilson (Nu Tau, 2011) died on May 9, 2016, at Yale-New Haven Hospital; he was 24 years old and engaged to be married. Wilson succumbed to injuries sustained in a tragic accident on April 16, 2016, when his vehicle was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver on Interstate 95 in Milford, Connecticut.

## Notable Achievers

* Dwayne Warren (Theta Iota, 1986) was elected mayor of Orange, New Jersey, on May 10, 2012. His win was considered a shocker given the support the first-term incumbent had from the Essex County democratic machine. After a contentious campaign in 2016, Warren won re-election in May 2016.

## Contact

The chapter is active and falls under the jurisdiction of **Springfield (MA) Alumni**. Members of Nu Tau maintain a digital presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. If you have an update to this page, please contact the Nupepedia Project Team.

Exelcis

> "The mightiest nation in the known world." *John Lahrimer*
>
>

Exelcis is quite possibly the largest nation in the known world. The capital city of Exelcis is New Herclam with a population of 2 million. Note: The map shown here was created in the year 623 B.X and as a result, may not be entirely accurate.

## Etymology

The name "Exelcis" comes from the name of Exelis Fratri, a trader who sighted Exelcis on a trip to the Eochtian islands. Without his help, Exelcis wouldn't have been found for hundreds of years.

## History

The first ever expedition to Exelcis was made in 687 B.X by the famous John lahrimer who founded the village of Herclam. Unfortunately, Herclam was quickly destroyed as john had placed it next to Fantagorren forest which was home to some of the most deadly creatures of Exelcis.

In 674 B.X, M'disho I led the first successful expedition to Exelcis on the Madanka. Once he arrived there, he promptly crowned himself Emperor and set to work on the city of New Herclam.

Neolope

"*Neolopes are endearing little things. The way they walk around and the little noises they make; all* *the little joys of life can be made better by a Neolope.*" Shait Faloon

 **Average Lifespan** | 10-30 years

Neolopes are a popular domesticated species in Exelcis and Halnia. Popularly kept as pets for thousands of years, the Neolope has been embedded in our natural memory as something that can be adored and cherished.

## Etymology and other names

The name "Neolope" comes from the ancient Halnian word "Nelopse" which in turn is an outdated word meaning "adored" or "cherished". Leofrodites know them as "Letohdou Fuhgooc" which can be roughly translated to "skinny green beast". The Lahstari call them "Fordu" which(like many other Lahstari words) is completely untranslatable.

## Physiology

At around 3 feet high at the shoulder and 5 feet tall on their hind legs, Neolopes are one of the larger pets in Exelcis. They have scaly skin similar to that of a Haddock and although they are most commonly green or brown, they can also be light blue or even red! They are one of only two surviving members of the Farkson genus with the other being the far more dangerous Naflun. They have large dark eyes and a ridge going from the top of the head down to the back. Most Neolopes have long sinuous tails but there are certain breeds in which this feature is absent.

## History

### Evolution

Neolopes have existed for around 1,500 years. They appear to have descended from the long extinct species "Golgafrinlen" which, according to early records were kept as pets by Lahstari. Although originally there were many more subspecies, the majority were killed off by Leofrodites to the point where only one other subspecies exists today. In 674 BX, Emperor M'disho I introduced the Neolope to Exelcis where it thrived in the environment.

 **Children** | Allen, Naroksi and Howlst

John Lahrimer was the first man to sail to Exelcis and built a colony there. He is renowned for his braveness and exploration. The most well known portrait of him(shown here) is known to have been made posthumously as the Exelcian Flag shown in the picture didn't come into use until 638 B.X.

## Early life

John was born in the year 739 B.X to Chanden and Allegra Lahrimer. He always felt a need to support his country and was interested in the discovery of other nations as a way to increase his countries power and wealth. He appears to have been well educated and was taught by many of the best professors in the land.

## Service in the army

In the year 711 B.X John joined the Aldorian Army as Private Lahrimer. He quickly rose through the ranks as a soldier and became popular among his fellow soldiers

### The Aldorian civil war

During the Aldorian civil war John was known as lieutenant Lahrimer. He was praised by those who knew him as an excellent soldier who always fought for what was best. A commonly said quote by John was: "In my opinion, the greatest virtue in the world is not power, but the ability to control power." He fought in the battle of Civox Rue and was given the Lakreh award for "Bravery in the field and purity of the soul."

### The siege of Alkeh

In the year 699 B.X, John was known as general Lahrimer and lead the attacking force at the siege of Alkeh, an attempt to reclaim Alkeh from the Vihoxlri who had captured it and begun to use it as a fortress. The attack was successful but during the battle, John was badly wounded in and accident which permanently mangled his right arm. He was awarded the Aldori medal(One of the highest honours a soldier can get) but had to retire from the army.

## Discovery of Exelcis

In the year 687 B.X, John led the SS Halesnede on the first ever expedition to Exelcis. He was 53 at the time and felt that he had to do something the make the rest of his life worth living. John first heard of Exelcis from a local fisherman who had told him about a strange continent that he had sighted on a trading route. Very few people believed the fisherman apart from John and several other people who decided to prove that this tale was true. And so it was that john sailed to Exelcis on the SS Halesnede and founded the village of Herclam.

## Death

John died after being killed by a Vaknoull in the year 685 B.X while he was out hunting. His death proceeded to kickstart a chain of events which led to the eventual destruction of Herclam.

## Personal life

John married Therita naia in the year 702 B.X and and they had 3 children: Allen,Naroksi and Howlst. They all died during the monster attacks on Herclam.
Elder Watson Diggs Award

The Elder Watson Diggs Award is one of five individual honors presented by Kappa Alpha Psi at its annual or bi-annual Grand Chapter meetings. It was established in 1953 at the 43rd Grand Chapter Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, by 14th Grand Polemarch Frank M. Summers. The award is named after the fraternity's most revered founder and Laurel Wreath wearer, Elder Watson Diggs. The award was first presented in 1958 at the 48th Grand Chapter Meeting in Detroit, Michigan. The first recipients of the Elder Watson Diggs Award were attorney Ulysses G. Plummer, Jr. (Mu, 1924), and educators E. Thomas Scales (Gamma, 1922), and John N. Williams (Lambda, 1942).

The Elder Watson Diggs Award is the second-highest award presented to a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity; it is bestowed upon alumni members who demonstrate meritorious achievements in their local community or region. Recipients are selected based on petitions submitted to the Achievement Commission, a 13-member committee appointed by the Grand Polemarch. No more than five awards can be granted during any Grand Chapter session.

## Recipients

The following is a list of all members who have received the Elder Watson Diggs Award.

## Biografía

### Origen

El cuerpo de Visión fue creado por el Androide Ultrón, uno de los enemigos principales de los Vengadores. Además, implantó una de Las Gemas Del Infinito, sin saberlo. Se trataba de La Gema De La Mente, la cual hizo de Visión, uno de los seres más poderosos de La Tierra.

Construido bajo las órdenes de Ultrón, Visión es un androide capaz de reproducir toda función orgánica de un ser humano, incluida la capacidad de pensar por sí mismo y la auto-conciencia.

Buscando vengarse de los Vengadores, Ultrón programó los procesadores neuronales de Visión con sus propios patrones mentales, ya que el objetivo era introducirse en el cuerpo de Visión.

### Unión a Los Vengadores

Visión ayudó fielmente a Los Vengadores durante años, en los que buscó trascender su programación original como vehículo de venganza y convertirse completamente en "humano". Su relación con Wanda, La Bruja Escarlata, fue difícil al inicio, ya que se negó a aceptar que un androide como él pudiera tener sentimientos de amor o de cualquier otro tipo. Al final, sorprendentemente, surgió el amor entre ambos y les condujo al matrimonio.

### La Boda De Visión & La Bruja Escarlata

Wanda se casó con Visión y tuvieron dos hijos, aunque más tarde se descubriría que esos niños no eran reales, sino que eran producto inconsciente de los poderes de Wanda, que se encontraba bajo la influencia de Mephisto.

## Poderes

Visión es capaz de alterar su densidad. De este modo, es capaz de volverse más ligero que el aire para poder volar, o tan denso y duro como el Adamantium, e incluso hacerse intangible y atravesar la materia sólida.

Además de esto, Visión puede proyectar rayos de energía solar a través de sus oJos. Requiere exponerse a la luz del sol para tomar energía a través de la gema que tiene incrustada en la frente. También es capaz de canalizar el poder de La Gema en un Rayo Dorado.
Grand Chapter

Grand Chapter is the body of living members who were ever initiated into Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, without distinction to class of membership (undergraduate, alumni, or honorary) or geography. By statute, a meeting of the Grand Chapter is held annually or bi-annually in order to conduct fraternity business, elect new officers, update members of initiatives enacted since the last Grand Chapter, and to recognize the achievements of members. Each meeting is referred to as a distinctly numbered Grand Chapter. Affectionately called a conclave (or "Konklave" or simply "Klave"), the four-day celebration also affords members an opportunity to fellowship with new initiates, renew old bonds, and network with other members the fraternity.

## Etymology

The concept of a conclave is not unique to Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Many Greek-letter organizations convene similar meetings, as do masonic lodges, religious orders, and secret societies. The concept is adopted from the papal conclave, a meeting convened by the College of Cardinals to elect a new Bishop of Rome, also known as the Pope. The term conclave is derived from the Latin *con + clavis*, meaning locked chamber "with key" and it reflects the cardinal electors being locked in seclusion until a new pope is elected.

## Next Meeting

The most recent Grand Chapter meeting was the 83rd Grand Chapter held in Orlando, Florida, at Rosen Shingle Creek, one of the largest full-service convention hotels in Central Florida.

The next Grand Chapter Meeting will be the 84th Grand Chapter Meeting in 2019 to be held in Philadelphia, PA. This will be the first return of the Grand Chapter Meeting to the Northeastern Province since 1995.

## History

The following is a summary of the fraternity's Grand Chapter meetings and the results of Grand Polemarch elections.

Exelcis Wikia

## Welcome to the Exelcis Wiki

This wiki is a guide to Exelcis and its history. The current year is 549 BX in the Neolskian calendar. If you want to start reading about the history of exelcis, I'd recommend reading 6th Century BX. Note: Although Exelcis is in fact a Single continent , I am using it to refer to the world as a whole.

Kwanri I Shlaxi

> *"Oh so you think I'm short do* *you?* *Well let's see how short **you** are without legs!" Kwanri I Shlaxi*
>
>

 **Children** | None

Kwanri I Shlaxi was the fourth emperor of Exelcis and the last member of the house of Shlaksi. He was mainly known for his height which was even shorter than his temper(If such a thing is indeed possible) and was measured at around 60 centimetres tall making him one of the shortest people in Exelcis. He often took offence at the fact that many people mistook him for a court dwarf until they noticed that he was wearing a crown.
