The Brothers of Kappa Pi Chapter at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA, extend greetings to all of our Brothers in Alpha. Even though we are a comparatively small chapter, with eight Brothers on campus, we are strong, and striving both individually and collectively, for excellence in the name of our great Fraternity. Since our last appearance in "Chapter News," we have taken three young men into Kappa Pi. They are Anthony Slaughter, now attending Morehouse in Atlanta, Spencer "Chico" Mead, and Gregory Stallings. In the wake of a very successful fall semester, the Brothers are anticipating an even more constructive and exciting spring semester. The annual Freshman Dinner in September was stupendous, as usual, with Brother Albert Herring delivering a very inspiring message. Capitalizing on the Earth, Wind & Fire concert held on campus, the Brothers threw an "after party," and collected over $200 for our scholarship fund. Thanksgiving found the Brothers sponsoring a dance, with admission being food for a Thanksgiving basket. The dance was so successful that the Brothers were able to give two very substantial and immensely appreciated Thanksgiving baskets. Three visits were made to a local Nursing Home, and have now become a Chapter project. We urge all Chapters to investigate your area; the elderly are in dire need of companionship and interaction with people other than the hospital staff. Other very successful projects were the membership drive for the NAACP, and a tutoring service for area schools. As usual, the social events of the year were given by Kappa Pi, with our fall Block Show being one that many will long remember. This semester the Brothers are planning even more activities. Seeds planted during the fall smokers seem to be sprouting, with six letters of interest being submitted. More prominent Chapter projects are the voter registration drive, a clothing drive for Easter, and, of course, our Black and Gold 47
