Kappa Alpha Journal - Summer 2025 - "High Jumps to High Skies"

From his days at the KA House to training TOPGUN fighter pilots, Lew “Jumper” Hoyt (Beta Sigma–Southern California ’62) has been a humble man of incredible achievement. His lessons are impacting a new generation of KAs—and he intends to leave a legacy for leadership.

+ FRONT STORY

Broderick “Brody” Grant (Alpha–Washington & Lee '23) spent last summer in an eight-week internship in the Nashville, Tennessee, office of Governor (and KA brother) Bill Lee (Nu–Auburn '78). Grant, who was then Alpha Chapter’s Number I, learned about how the government functions at the state level, and what it means for a governor to be the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar business. Grant was a double major at Washington & Lee, studying global politics and American history with a minor in law, justice, and society—he graduated in May.

High Jumps to High Skies

Lew “Jumper” Hoyt’s (Beta Sigma–Southern California '62) story is a testament to resilience, determination, and an unyielding commitment to excellence. A proud Kappa Alpha alumnus from the Beta Sigma Chapter at USC, Hoyt’s life has spanned the heights of athletic achievement, military distinction, and personal triumphs over adversity. Hoyt’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

DEAR BROTHERS

Knight Commander’s Message

As we close another academic year, let us reflect on the enduring values that define our Order and also on the remarkable achievements of our chapters and members. As I like to say, KA is

Our Values remain:  Reverence, Gentility, Knowledge, Leadership, Brotherhood, and Excellence—and our purpose of being a Moral Compass for the Modern Gentleman. They guide and challenge our members and chapters, daily.

Academically, our chapters are exceeding our goals. In fall 2024, our chapters and members achieved a 3.134 GPA, the highest fall term GPA in KA history. This marks the eleventh of the last twelve semesters higher than a 3.0, including the last eight straight.

I am proud to announce that we continue to grow our membership. For the first time in KA history, our total number of Active Members and members awaiting initiation topped 8,000 this past fall—and this spring, we reached 8,350 members, the most in KA history. With an impressive 90 percent initiation ratio for new members, this fall should continue the upward trend.

This spring, we reached 8,350 members, the most in KA history. With an impressive 90 percent initiation ratio for new members, this fall should continue the upward trend.

The Independence Fund, a leading philanthropy for our chapters, continues to be a success. Chapters generally fundraise to assist with donating all-terrain track chairs to severely wounded veterans. While just a few semesters ago we topped $1 million in overall fundraising, we now are closing in on the $2 million collective threshold with more to come.

Last fall, we rechartered two chapters, first at the University of Delaware (Beta Epsilon Chapter), and at Texas State University (Epsilon Iota Chapter). We established a new chapter at The Ohio State University, and I granted them the Eta Alpha Chapter charter.  Additionally, we have provisional chapters at Georgetown College (Beta Delta Chapter) and three new locations, Kansas State, North Alabama, and Wyoming. Finally, this fall, we’ll return to the University of Tennessee (Pi Chapter). As you can see, KA continues to grow and excel.

While we prepare for the 81st Convention in Roanoke and Lexington, Virginia, I say, “Let’s Go!” and let’s always aim for excellence. May God bless you, the Kappa Alpha Order and this great nation!

Letter From the Editor

Dear Brothers,

In life, in our spheres of friendships and family—especially in KA—there are seminal individuals you encounter who leave a deep impression on you. The impact could be for various reasons, including their experiences, their lessons, their approach, their kindness, their generosity, their awesomeness, or even, their faith … you name it.

Lew Hoyt embodies all of those reasons, and then some.

The feature story in this issue of The Kappa Alpha Journal is aspirational, on purpose. “Being the best, and even better,” is not just a leadership tagline, it’s Lew’s mantra that he employs for himself, and wants every KA (and really, every young person) to make their custom. He’s done it all, and then some. Now, re-engaged with KA after a long and storied career, Lew and his lovely wife Nancy, are committing a legacy gift to ensure the Number I’s Leadership Institute is an educational mainstay for the Order, in perpetuity.

His example is worth following and I encourage all brothers to read his story.

Lew’s also a really funny guy and I wish all brothers could hear him tell his story about requesting his “test results” from his nurse.

In this issue we also highlight the success of the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation last fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Every KA leader and all undergraduates are appreciative of the time, talent, and treasure spent each year for KA leadership education, scholarships, internships, and ethical training. Without the KAOEF, KA brothers simply cannot succeed as well as possible.

Check out the award-winning chapters highlighted as well. From the George C. Marshall Awards for Chapter Excellence to the Carl Albert Awards for Chapter Improvement, our members are doing great things.

Finally, take a quick read in “Voluntary Remarks” and grow proud of the ways our new brothers in Columbus, Ohio (yes, The Ohio State University), are living KA values and aiming for excellence.

In this issue, you’ll find many ways to affirm that you remain proud to be a KA.

Fraternally,

Lew and his lovely wife Nancy, are committing a legacy gift to ensure the Number I’s Leadership Institute is an educational mainstay for the Order, in perpetuity. Jesse S. Lyons (Delta Alpha–

ONE QUESTION

The Journal reached out to the members of the Loyal Order and asked them to respond to one question:

“What is your favorite golf course that you have played (and why)?”

We received nearly 100 responses.

Here are just a few of the best!

It was a thrill to play Augusta National with my Mercer KA Brothers: Phil Harison, Reid Meyer and Hal Wilson! RAYMOND “THAD” M. WARREN III (KAPPA–MERCER ' 83)

Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course, on U.S. Marine Corps Base Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii. The course is challenging, but the view of the Ko’olau Mountains makes it stand out as one of my favorites. The back nine parallels the beach and overlooks the Pacific Ocean, making for one of the most surreal golf experiences I’ve had.

CDR NATHANIEL LOGAN ROBINSON

(EPSILON SIGMA–WEST FLORIDA ' 01)

I’d have to say my home course, Dominion Country Club in San Antonio, Texas. This is the first course where my son, Ryan Stuart Simpson, Jr. (Delta Omega–Baylor '20), and I played together

RYAN STUART SIMPSON (PHI–BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN ' 92)

Dove Canyon, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in Orange County, California. Our home overlooked the 15th green. Many times, I used to see KA Brother Ben Crenshaw testing his skills.

ROBERT EDWARD TARLTON

(BETA SIGMA–SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ' 58)

Streamsong Red - Beautiful course, but mainly because it was the first of hopefully many golf trips with my brothers that I met because of KA!

DAVID KENT LANDACRE, JR.

(EPSILON KAPPA–SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA ‘09)

Erin Hills is incredible golf course that every golf enthusiast should try to play at some point. Walking up on the first tee you would think you were in Ireland, not rural Wisconsin. Pictured with me is Rockney Taveau (Alpha Kappa–Missouri '98)

DANIEL PIERCE

(ALPHA KAPPA–MISSOURI ‘98)

The Green Pearl in Moorea, Tahiti. What makes this course truly special for me are the

stunning views and the fact that I got to share the experience with three of my KA brothers along with several of our wives.

GARY HARNIST (DELTA IOTA–TEXAS-ARLINGTON ‘80)

American Dunes Golf Club in Grand Haven, Michigan. Their mission is to provide scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders.

MICHAEL BOLEY (DELTA MU–EASTERN KENTUCKY ' 95)

Teeth of the Dog, La Romana, Dominican Republic. Friendly caddies and excellent vibes.

LETTER

Dear Editor,

Please accept my sincere appreciation for sharing with my brothers the happenings of the 1972 Olympic basketball game and the tragedy of the lives lost of the Israeli athletes. What the officials did to our team was unfortunate, but what happened to our fellow athletes was tragic.

I seldom think about the gold medal we won (and do not have), but almost daily I think of the horror that the Israeli athletes experienced.

However, history can’t be changed and to remain productive we must careful to “not let the past steal time away from our todays.”

And hopefully our rejection of that silver medal will prevent officials from ever doing that again to any athlete ... regardless of which country flag they wave.

Fraternally,

Kenny Davis

WHY I Served

At a very young age, I knew I was going to the Marines. I said it in a speech when I graduated the eighth grade. The reason I enlisted at seventeen, was because of what happened on September 11, 2001. I can’t forget that day, and the same goes for my family.

We have a long history of service, my grandfathers served in WW2, my cousin served in Iraq, and my great grandfathers were in WW1. One of the earliest ancestors we have served with General George Washington in Valley Forge. So fighting is in my DNA. I wanted to do my part, to safeguard the nation. I still have been able to maintain an active lifestyle of fishing, which I enjoy quite frequently, and I find passion in helping the right people get elected to office. I worked in Congress, where I learned the ropes, and how the military gets its budget. I also learned how votes are conducted, and who made the best sandwiches at the Longworth Office Building. I find raising two daughters to be a great blessing, and important to teach them my values as well.

I wouldn’t be able to do any of that without the support of my wife, who as a doctor in her own right, is an extraordinary woman, business owner, and mother. I should have died in 2011, and I have personally felt I have been living on borrowed time ever since. So, I planned to learn as much as I can and share that knowledge, I am teaching myself Mandarin, so that I can educate myself on others.

ON MAY 11, 2011, SGT Burton’s patrol was ambushed by Taliban. Their vehicle was rendered immobile, and he organized the Marines into a hasty envelope to thwart the ambush. He led a patrol out of a kill zone, under fire from Taliban insurgents, and volunteered to take the minesweeper. While leading with the Minesweeper, he stepped on an enemy pressure plate that was poorly rigged.

On February 5, 2025, Burton was presented with a Purple Heart at Epping Forrest Yacht Club, in Jacksonville, Florida, in a private ceremony—Director of Alumni Engagement Brent Buswell was present. In his speech, Burton said in part, “I referenced KA for not only helping me recover when I left active duty, but for also being the best men at my wedding, my best friends, and also good leaders. It’s a unique story. I wasn’t the typical age of a pledge or younger brother. But I embraced all the brotherhood and activities because I needed it more (than Zeta Nu) would have ever known. That is why I am always thankful for KA. It takes a long time to recover from war, and the injuries I sustained, and I am thankful for Zeta Nu for being there for me, especially Zach Gibbs and Brenden Sicilia. I can honestly say that without KA, I am unsure if I would have ever finished college. ”

FROM JOURNALS PAST

KA has had more than its share of high-flying aviator and fighter pilots. From Blue Angels to Top Guns, and from Medal of Honor Recipients to record holders, we’re so very proud of our men who defend the United States of America.

More than a century ago, at that time, a KA set the World’s Altitude Record at McCook Field outside of Dayton, Ohio.

The following is a truncated account of the coverage in the Journal in 1921. Kappa Alpha Journal, November 1921.

MACREADY AND THE WORLD’S ALTITUDE RECORD

LIEUTENANT JOHN

A. MACREADY, Air Service (Alpha Pi–Stanford) who set the new World’s Altitude Record on 28 September, 1921, by his eight-mile flight above the earth, has, both in a literal and in a figurative sense, carried the Crimson Cross into new heights. It will bring a thrill to every member of the Order to know that a Kappa Alpha, by his great daring and ingenuity, has gone farther from the earth’s crust into space than any other human being since the beginning of time. His daring feat baffles the imagination and transcends even the vividest flights of fancy of Edgar Poe and Jules Verne. He ascended 40,800 feet in a Le Pere biplane and beat the former record set by Major Rudolph Schroeder here on Friday afternoon, February 27, 1920. Unlike Schroeder, who fell unconscious after setting a record of 38,180 feet, and narrowly escaped death, Macready made his flight without accident to the pilot or plane, except a slight inconvenience at 39,000 feet, which he quickly remedied. The flight, ascent and descent, consumed one hour and 47 minutes.

morning and was back at 11:52 o’clock. Immediately upon his landing the data obtained from the recording aneroid was calibrated by Lieutenant George B. Patterson, chief of the technical data section, and Lieutenant L. P. Moriarity, his assistant. The aneroid before calibration showed Macready had reached an altitude of 41,800 feet. When corrected it was reduced to 40,800 feet.

The recording apparatus and data will be forwarded to the bureau of standards at Washington for further calibration, but McCook Field officials are confident that the altitude attained by the flying chief will stand as a record.

with the exception of a few minor changes in equipment, none have been made since the Schroeder flight.

The flight yesterday was primarily to test a new propeller and improvements made on the Moss supercharger with which the ship was equipped. According to officials at the field, the flight was successful and important data were obtained as a result.

The propeller on the plane is built specially for altitude flights and was designed by Frank W. Caldwell, 835 North Euclid Avenue, an aeronautical engineer at McCook Field.

Macready left the field at 10:05 yesterday

The plane used yesterday by Macready was the same one which Schroeder used in 1920 when he gained the world’s altitude record,

He wore a leather suit, lined with down. Under this he wore a thick woolen garment and then his uniform. His helmet was lined with down. The collar of the coat was of fur. His gloves were fur-lined, and he kept

CHEERS!

Raising a toast for Scholarships and Leadership Education

In 2020, KA entered into an agreement with Fairwinds Estate to establish a wine brand and club for alumni and their spouses. Since that time, a successful partnership has flourished, with much support to the Order and the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation, and a fruitful, unique branding and alumni engagement program. Among the many stats that tell the story, are:

his hands warm with the aid of hot water pipes along the sides of the cockpit. In order to protect his feet from the intense cold he wore leather mocassins which were lined with down.

Macready is one of the oldest officers at McCook Field in point of flying service. He was with the American Expeditionary Force and gained an enviable record while flying overseas. Upon the signing of the Armistice and his return to the state he was sent at once to McCook Field. During the time that he has spent at the field he has been actively identified with experimental work and has made many important discoveries at high altitudes.

From Major Schoeder’s telegram: “To you goes

the crown of icicles for having gone farther up into space than any other human being, and to such men as you aviation in America owes great credit. You have placed the American flag upon the highest pinnacle. It was done by an American pilot in an American built airplane and engine.

“How proud I am to know that you have won the crown of icy pendants in my old LePere. May you always retain and defend this most noted aviation record, as it belongs to America and in Dayton, the home of our most noted birdmen, the Wright brothers. May you always remember that, after all, they are the ones that made it possible. Forty thousand, eight hundred congratulations to Mac from Shorty.”

What are you reading right now?

I read the Wall Street Journal, and I've read most of Vince Flynn's books, he's like an American 007.

Tell us about your sons who are KAs? What prompted you to join KA via the Beta Commission?

My three sons were born first, and the last child that we had was a girl. All three of my sons went to VMI, and they were all initiated by the Beta Commission. I thought that VMI was a very good experience for me, and I think my sons have benefited from it. One is a civil engineer who works for Westminster Canterbury in Richmond. The second son is a Lutheran minister in Savannah, Georgia. And the third son is a drug enforcement agent, and he lives in Jackson, Mississippi. So, one day [Former Knight Commander] Hank Foresman called me up, and he said, "You're used to having your boys follow in your footsteps. How would you like to follow in theirs?" And I did.

What drew you to medicine as a field?

When I was 16 years old, my mother had a stroke, and I was very impressed with the doctor that took care of her. This was in 1956, I believe. She was 42 years old. I was making a bed with her, and the stroke hit her, and she started slurring her speech, and she couldn't stand up. I helped her to lay down on the bed, I yelled out for my dad to come, and they took her to the hospital. She died the next morning. At that point, I decided to turn my interest toward medicine.

Were you in medicine during your time in the military?

VMI sent a lot of people to medical school, and I got into three medical schools. I went ahead and finished med school, and I met my wife there. I spent one year in Vietnam and one in Fort Bragg. Our first son was born three months after I landed in Vietnam, and my wife bore the brunt of it because she didn't know what I was getting into. I had a Health Clinic for a while, and then they replaced my one-doctor facility with a seven-doctor facility. I went to a hospital, and I wanted to do surgery. There were three people on orthopedics and sixteen on general surgery, and orthopedics used 49% of the blood, so I said, "Send me there." I finished out my Army time at Fort Bragg, and I got an army commendation medal for my work in the clinic in Vietnam. Then I looked at places to practice, and I picked the Roanoke Orthopedic Clinic. They had six doctors; I would be their seventh. We did charity work, and I wanted to do that because I went to VMI, and then to the University of Virginia for Med School, and so I figured that I owed the people in Virginia some charity work.

What teams did you work with at VMI?

I traveled with the football team, and I went to all the games that I could. Sadly, the only one that I missed was a road trip to Army, where we beat them for the only time. I'd be on the sidelines for the games, and I'd take care of the injuries, even operated on a few of them if they had an injury that required surgery. A lot of times, it would be a broken bone, but I had good help at VMI with the athletic training staff. I was in inducted in the Sports Hall of Fame at VMI, not for my athletics, but for the time that I've donated to the school, traveling with the football team and coming up for clinics.

Who's this American?

The year was 1965 … and Lew Hoyt is headed to Israel.

BY LEW HOYT

“General, our trip to Israel from TOPGUN was canceled.” The General said, “I heard.” I said, “However, it means so much to me to go to Israel, I am willing to pay my own way, and I’ve got leave from the squadron to go over there. And so, I want to know if I go to Israel, are you just blowing smoke at me or am I really going to be able to fly?”

And he said, “Jumper, what day, what flight number, et al? Let me know when you’re coming in, and we will have the General up in charge of Israeli fighter pilot training out to meet you and greet you, and he will assign you to a squadron commander to be a project officer.”

Sure enough, I arrived in Israel and was met by this General and that squadron commander took me into his squadron the very next morning he said, “Okay.” [He’s saying this in Hebrew.] “Gents, this is Jumper from TOPGUN.” He says, “He’s going to fly with us for a while, and we’re going to learn from him, and he’s going to learn from us.”

I knew all these pilots were saying, “Who’s this American? These Americans are not very good. We’re going to waste our time with him?” They said, “What we’ll do is just send him out against one of our junior pilots, kick his butt, be done with him, send him home to the U.S.A..”

So, they sent me out against a junior pilot in the squadron, and I beat up on him. And they said, “Well, no wonder. He was a junior pilot. We’ll send him out against one of our better pilots.”

And I beat up on him. Finally, they sent me out against their number one ace in the squadron.

And I beat up on him.

It was not because I was the best. It’s because at TOPGUN, for four years I’d been doing nothing, day in, day out, 10, 12 hours a day, dog fighting, briefing, debriefing. I was learning from the best.

They said, “Okay. You guys from TOPGUN are not the typical American fighter pilots. You’ve earned the right to stay here in Israel and fly with us.” And so, I flew with them. I was over there for seven or eight weeks the first time ...

HIGH JUMPS TO HIGH SKIES

Lew Hoyt's Journey to be the Best, and Make Others Even Better

BY JESSE LYONS

Lew “Jumper” Hoyt’s (Beta Sigma–Southern California ‘62) story is a testament to resilience, determination, and an unyielding commitment to excellence. A proud Kappa Alpha alumnus from the Beta Sigma Chapter at USC, Hoyt’s life has spanned the heights of athletic achievement, military distinction, and personal triumphs over adversity. From setting high jump records to reshaping aerial combat tactics, Hoyt’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

High Jumper

Hoyt’s call sign, “Jumper,” harks back to his days as a high jump record holder at the University of Southern California and an Olympic alternate in 1964 and 1968. “I won the state track meet in high school with a jump of 6’8,” Hoyt recalled. “At USC, I cleared 6’10” but still took second place. My coach told me, ‘We brought you here to win, not to lose.’ That mindset shaped everything I did afterward.” His athletic prowess was undeniable, but it was the lessons learned on the track—about perseverance, competition, and self-improvement—that would propel him into future successes. This effort paid off as he won the National Collegiate Championship in High Jump. He also earned the respect of his fellow teammates as Track Team Captain

for two years, while maintaining four years on the Dean’s Academic List.

Despite his early disdain for “non-traditional” athletes—he famously joked about rooming with golfer Dave Stockton, only to later eat his words as Stockton won multiple PGA championships— Hoyt came to appreciate the diversity of talent within his “House.” The Beta Sigma chapter at USC was a breeding ground for excellence, producing Olympians, professional athletes, and successful businessmen. “At first, we looked down on the golfers, the rowers,” Hoyt admitted with a chuckle. “But over time, we realized that excellence comes in many forms.”

Serving Our Nation

But Hoyt’s achievements didn’t stop on the track. After graduation, he pursued a career as a fighter pilot. Hoyt flew successful missions in Vietnam and served as General’s Aide to Albert Carl Pommerenk, a gig he loved for many reasons, including he was able to book himself on all the extra open flight times, honing his skills. He was a fighter pilot with the United States Marine Corp and the United States Navy, eventually rising to the ranks of a TOPGUN instructor, where he played a pivotal role in transforming the U.S. Navy’s aerial combat success during the Vietnam War. “Before TOPGUN, our kill ratio was 2-to-1,” Hoyt explained. “After, it improved to 13-to-1. We learned to fight smarter, not harder.” The implementation of advanced dogfighting techniques and the strategic use of aircraft capabilities were game-changers. Hoyt’s contributions to the Navy’s aerial tactics extended beyond American borders. He trained with the Israeli Air Force and even flew

with the Egyptian Air Force, gaining unique insights into international military strategy.

The path to becoming a TOPGUN instructor was anything but easy. Hoyt’s squadron boasted more TOPGUN graduates than any other in the Navy or Marine Corps, creating a competitive yet supportive environment that pushed him to excel. “A rising tide lifts all boats,” he said. “I became better because I was surrounded by people who were better than me. They were patient, they taught me, and they made me the pilot I became.”

Middle East

Hoyt’s experiences as a TOPGUN instructor were not just about flying but also about teaching and mentoring. He took pride in helping fellow pilots master the art of dogfighting, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and adaptation. His time with the Israeli Air Force further enriched his perspective, as he learned new tactics and strategies from some of the world’s most skilled pilots. “Flying with the Israelis was a gamechanger,” Hoyt recalled. “Their approach to combat was innovative and effective. It was an honor to learn from them and share my knowledge in return.”

A LASTING LEGACY

Lew and Nancy Hoyt’s $1 Million 1865 Trust Estate Gift

In a remarkable demonstration of commitment to leadership and education, Lew "Jumper" Hoyt and his wife, Nancy, have made a transformative planned estate gift of $1 million to Kappa Alpha Order’s Number I's Leadership Institute (NLI). This generous contribution will ensure the continued success and growth of the program, which trains and inspires undergraduate chapter presidents across the nation.

Hoyt’s decision to make this gift stemmed from his deep belief in the values instilled by KA and the impact of strong leadership. “NLI is our TOPGUN,” Hoyt remarked. “It takes the top 1% of our chapters’ leaders and gives them the tools and confidence to succeed—not just in their chapters, but in life.”

After speaking at Beta Sigma's Restoration Ceremony, the 80th Covention in 2023, and at the 2024 NLI and witnessing firsthand

the positive influence the Order has on young leaders, Hoyt felt it was time to ensure the longevity of the Number I's Leadership Institute. “These young men are the future of our fraternity and our country,” he said. “Nancy and I wanted to make sure they have every opportunity to thrive.”

The Hoyts’ gift will endow the NLI program, providing perpetual funding to support its operations, resources, and expansion. “It’s not just about today,” Hoyt emphasized. “It’s about making sure future generations of KA leaders have the same opportunities to grow and lead with integrity.”

This landmark gift serves as a powerful example of the lasting impact alumni can have on their fraternity. “Lew and Nancy’s generosity will shape the future of Kappa Alpha Order,” said Jesse S. Lyons, Journal Editor. “Their legacy will inspire

countless leaders, ensuring that the values of leadership, honor, and brotherhood continue to thrive.”

Hoyt’s journey from athlete and fighter pilot to philanthropist and mentor is a testament to the enduring spirit of KA. Through this generous estate gift, Lew and Nancy Hoyt have ensured that their commitment to leadership and excellence will continue to inspire future generations of KA brothers.

spending four years mentoring the next generation of naval aviators. As an instructor, Lew participated in highly classified operations at Area 51, flying captured Soviet MiG-17s and MiG-21s against students to provide unparalleled training realism. He also traveled to Israel, training with the Israeli Air Force (IAF)—arguably the most successful fighter force in the world—and later to Egypt and Kuwait to train Arab fighter pilots.

Lew’s rare experience of instructing both Israeli and Arab air forces gave him a profound, firsthand understanding of Middle Eastern geopolitics and aerial warfare. To this day, he may be the only fighter pilot to have flown and instructed in aircraft from both sides of the regional divide. These years of advanced instruction and international cooperation added depth and dimension to Lew’s already storied military career.

“Their approach to combat was innovative and effective. It was an honor to learn from them and share my knowledge in return.”

Sedona Support

“After my TOPGUN military tour, and a total of twelve years of active-duty service, I was rehired by Western Airlines in July 1978, and concurrently flew ten more years with the USN Reserves, with fighter squadron VF-302 at NAS Miramar, San Diego, California,” summarized Lew.

“I retired from Delta Air Lines, after 25 years, flying Captain on the Boeing 757/767 at the Los Angeles pilot base.” He and Nancy were married and eventually retired to Sedona, Arizona, full time.

There, he has been named “Sedona’s 2006 Citizen of the Year,” and he and Nancy have provided several endowments for the Sedona High School, as well as raising funds for the Verde Valley Sanctuary, Boys and Girls Club, and Sedona Community Foundation.

A Different Dogfight

Hoyt’s life took another dramatic turn when he faced a battle off the battlefield—

cancer. Diagnosed with a condition that threatened to take his voice, Hoyt confronted this new enemy with the same tenacity he showed in the skies. “The doctors told me I might lose my tongue and never speak again,” Hoyt shared. “But here I am, talking to groups across the country about faith, perseverance, and leadership.” His survival and subsequent advocacy have inspired countless individuals, from military veterans to high school students.

Beyond his military and athletic achievements, Hoyt has dedicated his post-service life to mentoring young people and giving back to his community.

CDR Lew “Jumper” Hoyt (Beta Sigma–Southern California ’62) was recently inducted into the Golden Eagles. This membership organization is the highest recognition that a Naval Aviator can achieve with only 200 pilots receiving this honor, from the thousands of Navy and Marine Corps pilots. Members are chosen from those who are “pioneers in some new aspect of Naval Aviation, or who are respected by their peers as leaders because of their outstanding skills as a pilot, their wide experience, good judgment, personal character, and their dedication to flying.”

“Of the different awards that I have ever received, this is the one that I cherish!” commented Lew Hoyt. “About 100 of these guys are Navy Admirals and USMC Generals, and many are Astronauts or Space Shuttle Commanders. So, as you can imagine, I feel greatly honored, yet at the same time feel very humbled.”

He volunteers at local high schools, coaches track and basketball, and shares his life lessons with students, emphasizing the importance of hard work, respect, and kindness. “If you want to be successful, it comes down to two words: hard work,” Hoyt often tells his audiences. “Surround yourself with people who inspire you, and never stop striving to be the best version of yourself.”

KA For Life

Hoyt’s connection to Kappa Alpha Order remains strong. “KA taught me values that I carry with me to this day—leadership, honor, and brotherhood,” he said. He remains an active supporter, frequently speaking at KA events and contributing to fundraising efforts, including a recent campaign to secure a new chapter house for Beta Sigma. Hoyt’s pride in his fraternity is palpable. “KA’s six spiritual values set us apart,” he noted. “Not many fraternities focus on spirituality, leadership, and friendship the way we do. It’s something special.”

“Nothing has ever been about bringing glory to me; everything is about bringing glory to God.”

Hoyt in his TOPGUN jacket at the 80th Convention in Orlando, Florida, in 2023

Hoyt’s efforts to support Beta Sigma’s new chapter reflect his broader commitment to building environments where young men can thrive. “We want our members to have pride in their home,” Hoyt said. “A great house fosters a great brotherhood. It’s about creating a space where young men can grow, learn, and support each other.” Hoyt spoke with Frank Weisser (Sigma Beta Commission–USNA '22) at the 2023 Leadership Lecture Luncheon during the 80th Convention. He was presented with the Order’s Distinguished Public Service Award at that time.

Faith First

Reflecting on his journey, Hoyt says his greatest accomplishment isn’t his military or athletic success but his faith. “The single greatest thing in my life was accepting Jesus Christ,” he said. “Everything else flows from that.” Hoyt’s faith has been a cornerstone of his resilience, guiding him through the highs and lows of life.

Hoyt’s story is one of a man who never settled for second place—in sports, in service, or in life. His legacy continues to inspire those who strive to reach new heights, both literally and figuratively. Whether soaring through the skies in a fighter jet, overcoming the odds in his personal health battles, or mentoring the next generation of leaders, Lew “Jumper” Hoyt embodies the spirit of excellence and perseverance.

legacy of integrity and courage.” His journey from the high jump bar to the cockpit of a fighter jet, and through the trials of cancer, showcases a life lived with purpose and passion. Hoyt’s story serves as a beacon for those who aspire to greatness, reminding us all that with faith, hard work, and the right people by our side, anything is possible.

As Hoyt himself puts it, “Life is about more than just winning; it’s about making a difference, lifting others up, and leaving a

MORAL COMPASS

Like Father, Like Kart Racer

Miami KA uses values to help his family overcome

BY RICK MOORE

Duane Wickham (Epsilon Lambda–Miami ‘88) has spent much of his professional career working in one area or another of the automotive and racing industries, and one of his sons has decided to follow in his father’s footsteps by wanting to become a race car driver. Now Wickham is enlisting the aid of friends, family and sponsors in helping his son’s lifelong wish become a reality.

Eleven-year-old Jerome Wickham is competing as a driver in the Kart Racers of America (KRA) LO206 Cadet class. But Jerome isn’t just any little boy with big dreams. He was born with XLH (X-Linked Hypophosphatemia), a rare metabolic bone disease that causes weak bone growth, short stature, significant dental issues and other medical problems. In spite of it all, though, the ever-optimistic Jerome, can be discovered in a YouTube video found by searching the young boy’s name.

“Jerome has a strong engineering type of mind,” his father said. “He’s in the 98th percentile in 5th grade math and is always striving to understand why things work the way they do. He spent years watching racing and trying to understand what made a good driver, and has studied all the racing and street cars and knows many of the specifications and characteristics. He wants to race Formula 1 and hopes to go to Europe to race by the time he is 16.”

Jerome’s mother, older brother and oldest sister also share the XLH disease, and the family’s medical expenses run into thousands per month. While the family manages to take care of the medical bills for everyone, covering Jerome’s kart racing budget, transportation costs to races, entry fees, ongoing kart maintenance expenses like tires —and much more—is another matter. So the family is

appealing for assistance for Jerome through a sponsorship program with levels like that, Duane is quick to point out, aren’t set in stone.

“The structure that we’ve set up for sponsorships is three different levels,” Duane said, “$500, $1,000, and $5,000. It’s basically about a $15,000 a year cost total for him to compete.” As a rookie last year, Jerome finished the KRA racing season, which runs from April through October, ninth out of 22 drivers. Jerome himself is quick to point out in his promotional video that, while the effects of his XLH are not a desirable thing, being small can actually be an advantage in racing since the kart doesn’t have as much weight to carry.

Duane Wickham worked as a crew chief and consultant to various race teams for 15 years, before taking a job with Honda and working his way into the position of Assistant Manager, Product Verification, in Bellefontaine, Ohio, which has enabled him to support his family. He is also quick to credit a decision he made upon entering college, which was to join Kappa Alpha Order, for much of the direction his life has taken.

“It’s my sincere hope that the way I’ve raised my children does reflect many of the values of KA,” he said. “I was pretty serious into the whole atmosphere and belief structure of what KA stood for and stands for, and I still get together with a bunch of the brothers every couple years. There’s about seven of us that still get together on a regular basis. KA had a lot to do with where I’m at today and the way my kids are being raised.”

ABOUT 5 WAYS TO GIVE BACK TO KAPPA ALPHA ORDER

The Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation (KAOEF), a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization, was founded by the Convention in 1981 and was established in 1982 to promote the education of undergraduate and graduate students in academic improvement, leadership, alcohol and substance abuse prevention, and other general educational areas.

The KAOEF receives no government funding but provides a vehicle for tax-deductible contributions from alumni and friends to be made in support of KA. With these gifts, the KAOEF helps underwrite a number of educational programs to the benefit of the Order.

1 Cash Gifts

The most convenient and frequently used method of supporting the KAOEF is a gift of cash—personal check, credit card authorization or money order—made payable to the KAOEF and mailed to P.O. Box 1865, Lexington, VA 24450. Online donation can also be made through the KAOEF website (www.KAOEF.org/donate).

3 Planned Giving 2 Matching Gifts 5 Real & Personal Property

Many corporations will match gifts the KAOEF. If you or your spouse works for one of these organizations, your gift could multiply. Please ask your human resources office if your company provides matching gifts to charitable organizations. If so, please ask your employer for the proper form to include with your gift. You may also visit www. KAOEF.org/giving or contact the KAOEF for assistance in determining if your employer offers a matching gifts program.

The KAOEF has benefited greatly from planned gifts from members of the 1865 Trust and other planned giving. Inclusion of the KAOEF in your will or trust should reference KAOEF, P.O. Box 1865, Lexington, VA 24450. Please visit www. KAOEF.org/giving or contact the KAOEF directly for further information.

4 Appreciated Securities

A gift of your appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares is an ideal way support the KAOEF. The educational programs of the Order will benefi t from your support and you will receive a tax deduction for your contributions. In addition, transferring the securities prior to liquidation will help you avoid capital gains taxes. Please contact the KAOEF for personal assistance with the transfer of assets of this type. Donors can select the KAOEF to receive transfers from an IRA account without a tax consequence. Please contact KAOEF staff for personal assistance.

Your real estate and other marketable personal items can be given to the KAOEF an outright gift. For tax purposes, the contributor may deduct the fair market value of the real estate. Items of personal property must be related to the KAOEF’s purpose and function to be fully deductible. For example, a brother can donate a percentage interest in a building to the KAOEF that can be sold and the proceeds would be directed to the KAOEF.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR TODAY’S CRIMSON & GOLD

The future is bright … because of more than 1,000 brothers and friends like you.

The goal of the Crimson & Gold Campaign is to continue to retain 1,000 donors at the unrestricted, annual level of $1,000.

Last fiscal year we had 1,021 brothers and friends from 39 states, representing 144 chapters and commissions, along with the Rose Circle, all giving at least $1,000 in unrestricted support.

With this support we continue to make a positive difference in the lives of our undergraduate brothers. Therefore, we hope everyone will continue to support the KAOEF’s effort to provide much needed scholarships and leadership education to our undergraduate members.

Rose Circle Grows to 86 Sweethearts!

“She’s the sweetest girl in all the world, the fairest flower that grows…”

In 2020, three KA Roses set out to raise significant funds for the KAOEF by establishing the Rose Circle of the Crimson & Gold Society. Their aim was to develop and solicit donations at the level of $1,000 annually, unrestricted, from the special women in the lives of KAs and of the Order in general. As of June 30, 2024, eighty-six women answered the call or were sponsored to be the Rose Circle and will be recognized as such. The KAOEF and the entire Order give thanks to the KA Roses who support all that we do for the future of our youngest members, including financially.

Dear Brothers,

KA’s planned giving society, The 1865 Trust, continues to recognize the generosity and foresight of brothers and friends of KA who choose to embrace the vision of KA’s future by making an impactful gift to the KAOEF. The mark of generosity is the willingness to give without any guarantee of seeing the results and the power of planned gifts represents the truest form of generosity. Your membership into The 1865 Trust bears powerful testimony to the charitable expressions of your values, ideals, and commitment to Kappa Alpha Order today. However, your partnership and investment help us to shape our students into dynamic leaders of tomorrow.

Membership in The 1865 Trust is obtained when provisions for a planned gift of $10,000 or more are made to the KAOEF. This past year the Trust welcomed five (5) additional members whose contributions will enrich the KA experience for future generations of KA brothers. We all hold in our hands the power to leave a legacy and there have been men from all walks of life join the Trust since it was created in 1992. Please join me expanding the vision and reputation of KA today, tomorrow and forever. I cannot emphasize more strongly how important it is that we remain committed.

If you have any questions about The 1865 Trust, or if you wish to add your name to the roll with other KA brothers who are members, please contact Ben W. Satcher Jr, Executive Vice President, by phone, (540) 4631865, or by e-mail, bsatcher@ka-order.org.

Fraternally yours,

Idris Rhea Traylor, Jr. Former Knight Commander Chairman, 1865 Trust

FOREVER KA

Keep the connection for life

No matter how your life has been impacted by Kappa Alpha Order, your brothers are helping future brothers have the same wonderful experience: Forever KA.

Forever KA is not a giving society; it is an opportunity for KA alumni to stay connected for life by a gift of only $10 per month. With your support we can continue to enrich the lives of so many. Forever KA was developed in 2011 by Former Knight Commander J. Michael Duncan (Delta Kappa–Stephen F. Austin State '69) who saw the need to keep alumni engaged from the moment of graduation.

Journal throughout their participation in Forever KA.

Each year, when an Active Member becomes an alumnus, they are invited to become Forever KA. It is the KAOEF’s aim to make sure that every new alumnus remains connected and begins a lifetime of giving back to their Order. Additionally, Forever KA participant receives a subscription to The Kappa Alpha

2023 DAY OF GIVING

The KAOEF’s Day of Giving is a multifaceted fund-raising event with a major impact on the Foundation and the Order. Several opportunities are available to make and impact:

h An annual, mailed fundraising appeal kicks off the lead up to December 21

h Emails are sent to all good addresses promoting the event

h Matching gifts are presented and met throughout the day

h Current pledges are encouraged to be fulfilled by donors

h Crimson & Gold Society renewing members are called by National Staff

h And many more gifts are made online by Active and Alumni Members and friends of the Order

Additionally, Active Chapters are encouraged to become Foundation Chapters. This designation is the result of the chapter’s committing to donate $18.65 per man that day. For many members, this is the first gift they will make to the KAOEF and begins their donation lifecycle.

Due to our fiscal year ending on June 30, 2024, this report includes the year 2023 Day of Giving results.

GIVING TO THEIR OWN CAUSE

The Foundation Chapter program

is an effort for current active brothers to support the KAOEF and commit themselves to helping ensure that the programs they currently enjoy and benefit from will continue for future members of their chapter.

Sixteen (16) chapters committed that each brother of theirs would donate $18.65, or more, per man, to the KAOEF this past fiscal year. Many of these committed in order to support the Day of Giving. These funds are used to support the Order’s leadership programs and training initiatives, and to provide scholarship dollars to our active brothers.

2023 Bid for Brotherhood

The 26th Annual Bid for Brotherhood (B4B) was held at the House of Blues Orlando on Friday, August 11, 2023. Attendees enjoyed good food and a performance by Hunter L.

Brothers in the Barbecue Business

By Rick Moore

The barbecue business—sauces, rubs, and other condiments and culinary accoutrements—is a multi-billiondollar business in America. At least two KA brothers have decided to throw their chef’s hats in the ring by developing their own products designed to make grilling and smoking as delicious as possible.

Richard Briseno (Epsilon Kappa–Southeastern Louisiana '04) and Kevin Hughes (Zeta Omega–Coastal Carolina '17) are two KA entrepreneurs who are owners of barbecue-associated companies. Briseno’s company, Lovie Sauce BBQ, produces an award-winning barbecue sauce, while Hughes is the owner of Beechwood Brothers BBQ, based in Ames, Iowa. His company creates an all-purpose specialty rub called Kryptonite, selling primarily on internet site Etsy.

“In 2022, I relocated from South Carolina to Iowa to start a new position,” Hughes said. “In both states, I began to enjoy traveling to BBQ restaurants that focused on live fire grilling and smoking. In Iowa, I found myself doing quite a bit of grilling, smoking, cooking, etc. and was impressed with the

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA–EPSILON KAPPA

quality of meat from local markets and businesses. I launched Beechwood Brothers BBQ in early 2024, mixing, blending, cutting and testing a variety of spices until we got to a final product that I thought was worthy of being shared with others.”

“Over a multi-month test period,” he continued, “the all-purpose rub Kryptonite was developed and tested on chicken, beef, pork and even on fish. My younger brother Ryan (Zeta Omega–Coastal Carolina '18) provided a ton of support and creative ideas. At this time, I am only selling Kryptonite and a few merchandise items. I do have plans to expand the seasoning line to feature other blends.”

Briseno explained how his BBQ sauce, Lovie Sauce, got its name. “Lovie is what my mom and dad call one another,” Briseno said. “It’s my mom’s recipe, I am co-owner. We formed the LLC in 2014, and have been in grocery stores throughout the New Orleans metro area since 2018.”

“I’m on a competitive BBQ cooking team called Rub Me Tender,” he said. “I joined the already existing team in 2022 as the

sauce guy. I’d never entered a BBQ competition before and wanted to know what the professional judges thought about the sauce. We participated in Memphis at the World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest 2024, and placed 3rd overall in the world in the BBQ sauce category. We received a perfect score in the same competition and category as well in 2022, we received a perfect score from the judges, all 10’s.”

“We ship our sauce nationwide through LovieSauce.com,” he said, “and we recently signed with a copacker and distributor. We will be distributing in 200 grocery stores in the southern states. Our goal is to bring it nationwide.”

As for how to get a business like this off the ground, both men have their own stories and suggestions. “Take the leap of faith and expose yourself to the challenge,” Hughes said. “I recommend getting into the development of a small business focused around something you are extremely passionate about. Beechwood Brothers BBQ for me is more fun than it is work because I find fulfillment in networking and building relationships with people from all over the country through incredible BBQ.”

“There is no guideline on how to start a business in the food product industry,” Briseno said. “It’s been a lot of trial and error. You definitely have to have patience. I would recommend if you want to get into this type of industry to not be afraid to ask questions. Identify other local people in your area who may have a similar product and reach out to them. Most people are willing to help.”

Bramhall, recently published his first book, Haunted War Tales: True Military Encounters with the Bizarre, Paranormal, and Unexplained This 200+ page tome focuses on multiple tales of odd, often bizarre, paranormal events on the battlefields of the world throughout the centuries. Some popular stories are de-bunked, but many of these reports, including tales from today’s global war on terrorism, are documented in one place in this collection. Bramhall is a U.S. Army Intelligence veteran who has a B.A. in criminal justice from West Florida and a M.Ed. from Southern Methodist University.

FINALLY!

WOFFORD–DELTA

Richard Mahon, (left) was a special initiate on April 24, 2025, of Delta Chapter at Wofford, who pledged as an undergraduate and never was fully initiated. To his left is Richard Krapfel (Delta–Wofford ‘75), from his class time frame, celebrating his initiation. KAOEF Chairman Scott Heath (Delta–Wofford ‘77), helped facilitate the approval process. Mahon had this to say, “What an honor it was to become (finally!) an initiated member of Kappa Alpha Order, Delta Chapter. I think I can safely say, one of the longest pledge-ships has now ended! As I heard the call and charges to brotherhood, it took me back to our youthful days at Wofford, and the significance of our friendships which have stood the test of time. It has been a long journey and I am so very glad to be among you as a brother.”

Wofford Alumni Gather

More than 30 alumni of the Delta Chapter at Wofford College initiated in the late 1970s or early 1980s, gathered on Thursday, August 15 for lunch at Forest Lake Club in Columbia, South Carolina. Bob Graham ‘77 and Tim Babb ’75 have led the effort to organize similar “gathering events” in other locations in South Carolina including Pawley’s Island, Sumter, and Spartanburg.

60th at Delta State

On November 18, 2024, the Delta Beta Chapter at Delta State held their 60th Anniversary. Pat Lady is Pat Jernberg, wife of James P. Jernberg, Jr. (Delta Beta–Delta State '64), the first KA Rose for the chapter.

All-Terrain Track Chair

GEORGIA SOUTHERN–DELTA THETA

The Delta Theta Chapter at Georgia Southern University presented two allterrain track chairs to veterans during halftime of the November 16 football game versus Troy University. The chapter raised $52,000 for The Independence Fund to purchase, outfit, and transport the track chairs that will help improve the mobility of veterans Kenneth Sheets and Chad Krantz, Jr.

“It is a pleasure to work with Kappa Alpha Order to provide all-terrain trackchairs,” said Chief Operating Officer of The Independence Fund Clark Pennington. “Chapters across the country work all year to help us provide these chairs for very deserving heroes.”

After serving for nearly four years, Krantz suffered a traumatic brain injury that has led to mobility issues including vision loss, vertigo, severe migraines, seizures, weakness, and muscle loss.

“It’s organizations like The Independence Fund that change the outlook on life for Veterans that are struggling to keep hope and keep moving forward,” said Krantz “It is a very hard place to be, and unfortunately some don’t make it out.”

A 20-year veteran, Sheets was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and was left paralyzed following a failed suicide attempt. Sheets enjoys saltwater fishing, shooting, and outdoor sports, and his track chair will help him experience those activities again.

60TH ANNIVERSARY OF INSTALLATION

For more than 25 years brothers from Gamma Omega have met the second weekend of October for their annual “Gathering”. On October 11, 2024, Brother Don Hanvey (65) hosted the group with a Mexican Buffet dinner. Nineteen brothers attended to visit and relive memories of the March 1964 chapter installation. The National Office provided a large poster board depicting the Wichita Falls Times & Record News article referencing the installation event. Two of the brothers pictured in the article were present on Friday night.

On Saturday afternoon and evening Brother J. B. Hicks (64) hosted a group of twenty. As has been the custom on Saturday a Chapter of Sorrows service was held in remembrance of the Brothers who passed to the Chapter Eternal during the last year. Brothers Bill Bone (64), Bob Hampton (65), and Charles Sylvester (74) presided over the ritual. The Chapter scrapbook, official record book and pictures were available for the brothers to view and discuss. Memories abounded. Brother Larry Slack (67) coordinator of the event asked Brother Royce Heller (63) the chapters first president to tell the group his remembrances of the chapters beginning. Heller was initiated at the 50th K A Convention held in Oklahoma City in 1963. The plan was to have the chapter

initiation that fall. Unfortunately at one of the functions alcohol was present and someone turned the provisional chapter in to the university. Although no one knows for sure who was responsible for reporting it is believed another fraternity did so in an effort to prevent competition from an additional campus fraternity. This resulted in delaying the installation until March 1964 and the Alpha pledge class had to pledge again with the Beta class. Fortunately the Alpha class had to repeat very little of their prior pledge activities. Mike Fortado (64) a founding member, created an excellent written article of his memories about the chapter beginning which was read to the group. Brothers Jim

Tom Hardin (64), and Bill Bone (64) were present to tell their memories of the Alpha and Beta pledge classes. “The Gathering” was concluded with a-bar b-que dinner.

LEGISLATIVE EXPERIENCE FOR KENTUCKY KA’S

On March 27, 2025, several undergraduate members of Kappa Alpha Order had the unique opportunity to experience state government up close, thanks to the efforts of James Musser, who organized a special lobbying day at the Kentucky Capitol in partnership with the Kentucky Hospital Association (KHA).

The day began with a guided tour of the Capitol by Musser and Samantha Metgzer, taking advantage of one of the final chances to visit the building before it closes for extensive renovations. The group included Carter Wilhoit and Samuel Messina from the University of Kentucky, and Cole Brickley from Transylvania University.

Throughout the day, the students met with key state legislators, including Senators Steve West and Matt Deneen—both KA alumni—who generously spent time with the undergraduates discussing the inner workings of the Kentucky Senate. Both senators encouraged the students to consider internships during upcoming legislative sessions, offering opportunities ranging from single-day experiences to full-session placements with potential course credit. From the gallery, the group observed the Senate, witnessing the chamber open for the day, followed by floor votes and live debate. The visit concluded with lunch and policy discussions at KHA’s Frankfort office, fostering connections and reinforcing the KA ideal of lifelong brotherhood. Plans are already underway to expand the program for the 2026 session.

Roar for a Cure

TENNESEE-CHATTANOOGA-ZETA UPSILON

This past fall, the Zeta Upsilon Chapter at the University Tennessee at Chattanooga raised $5,700 for Bash’s Roar for a Cure. The operation donates gift boxes, especially around the holidays, to support families struggling with pediatric bone marrow diseases and cancer. It was named after Sebastian who was born with STAT5B deficiency and fought for 10 months while developing many other health issues because of this extremely rare bone marrow disease.

“The disease is called “STAT5B deficiency,” commented philanthropy chair Smythe Kuebler. “This disease is a bone marrow disease. It prevents the development of an immune system. STAT5B deficiency has affected 13 people worldwide and only 2 in America.”

The chapter was inspired by Sebastian and his family and quickly raised the funds through two unique efforts.

“We raised $5,700 for this organization in two weeks!” Kuebler said. “One of the most innovative methods we took advantage of was the holiday seasons. The first week was around Valentine’s where we showed our reverence to women through selling flowers. Our second week was around Halloween, we utilized our house and created the Haunted Mansion.”

Giving back to those in need is expressed through our values of gentility and leadership and the benefit is not just experienced by those we serve and help.

“Through becoming Zeta Upsilon’s philanthropy chair, I have grown as a person,” Kuebler said. “Learning that every one of our members is striving to make the greatest change in our community, has inspired me to share the story of our cause, Bash’s Roar for a Cure.”

Interment at Arlington

MARSHAL–BETA UPSILON

On July 12, 2024, Dr. Walter D. “Watt” Shields (Beta Upsilon–Marshall ’66) was interred at Arlington National Cemetery.

OUR ORDER

Wiser Recognized; Retires from SGLA

Dr. Gary G. Wiser, Jr. (Delta Lambda–Middle Tennessee State ’99) was recently bestowed with the Accolade for Interfraternal Service. The award was presented by Knight Commander King Aiken at the annual conference of the Southeastern Greek Leadership Association (SGLA), with Wiser serving as its executive director from 2014 to 2025.

The Accolade for Interfraternal Service serves as an expression of Kappa Alpha Order’s continuing commitment to the American College Fraternity System. The award was established in 1983 to recognize individuals who have demonstrated outstanding service to the Greek or fraternity community.

“It means a lot for my organization to see the work I’ve done outside of Clemson,” says Wiser, who says SGLA has grown into one of the largest Greek leadership conferences in the country. “Joining Kappa Alpha Order as a freshman really changed my life and career. I’m really honored to receive this recognition.”

Wiser, who is the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Clemson University, is no stranger to professional honors within the Fraternity and Sorority Life community. In 2022, he received the Sue Kraft Fussell Distinguished Service Award from the Association of Fraternity and Sorority Advisors.

Fraternity and Sorority Life has seen incredible growth at Clemson during Wiser’s tenure. This past fall, membership grew to a recordhigh 6,825 students, representing 13 different countries and 48 of the 50 states. Academically, fraternity and sorority members achieved a collective 3.5 GPA, with 86% of organizations exceeding 3.0. Additionally, chapters combined to serve more than 40,000 hours in the local community and raise more than $568,000 toward

philanthropic initiatives. Most recently, Clemson’s governing councils received regional and national accolades for outstanding contributions to Greek life and the local community.

Wiser joined Kappa Alpha Order as an undergraduate student at Middle Tennessee State University, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree. He owns two additional degrees from Western Kentucky University and this past August earned a master’s in human resource development from Clemson.

News, Notes & Recognition

Courts of Honor

The Order’s system of Provincial Courts of Honor is unique in the system of American college fraternities. It was first introduced at the fifth province council, in 1930, by Frank Hammett Myers, Commander of the James Ward Wood Province. For insignia, each Court uses its own Provincial Cross with its own distinct colors. The purpose of the Courts of Honor is to recognize and acknowledge alumni for their continued interest, support, and participation in the Order, its active or alumni chapters, and in their capacity to stimulate the expansion and prestige of the fraternity. A Court of Honor typically holds an annual meeting and dinner or event to nominate new members and make plans for the events of the upcoming year. A new inductee is presented with a Court of Honor jewel along with a certificate of membership.

LOYAL LEGACY

Ensuring the future of Kappa Alpha Order

Eddie S. Wilson Delta Beta–Delta State ‘73

Former Number V

Member of Forever KA, Loyal Order, Crimson & Gold Society, and 1865 Trust

Member of Irwin, Feller, and Forester Courts of Honor

Recipient, Knight Commander's Accolade

Who is one KA from Delta Beta you still talk to regularly?

My roommate at DSU Joe Nassar; he lives about 200 miles away. On average we talk several times a week. We get together several times a year.

Tell us about your profession and pasttime.

I was in the retail firearms business for 44 years and retired at the end of 2023. My pasttime is competitive skeet shooting.

What was a unique memory from being in the Active Chapter OR in your assistance with rechartering Gamma Gamma?

Of course, my initiation. When we returned for the fall semester of ‘73 we only had 14 Actives Members; we pledged 43 men that semester—most memorable. When Gamma Gamma provisional chapter completed all

requirements for rechartering, the two teams from Irwin Province came to handle initiation duties. One of the teams was from Delta Beta, another memorable moment.

Why do you continue to support the Order and the KAOEF?

Supporting the Order is an obligation we take on at initiation. I support KAOEF to help finance the educational programs and scholarships they provide for the undergraduates.

What is one piece of advice for all undergraduates KAs looking to their future?

I am reminded of a quote by the legendary coach Vince Lombardi: “Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” Always chase perfection and you will be successful in all your endeavors.

CRIMSON & GOLD

SOCIETY

Today, Kappa Alpha Order is stronger than ever before. 8,000 active members serve on campuses across our nation. But this demand requires increased resources in a tumultuous time on every campus for our youngest brothers. The KAOEF continues an ambitious campaign for 1,000 donors at the $1,000 level, annually. Join the Crimson & Gold Society ... and invest in the next generation of KA brothers.

As of publication, the Order had learned of the passing of Eugene M. “Gene” Julian (Beta Epsilon–Delaware '63). He will be remembered in the next issue.

Barry B. Donnell (Beta Lambda–Southern Methodist '58), who served as the Chairman of the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation from 2011 to 2015, passed away on May 9, in Wichita Falls. He previously served on the KAOEF Board of Trustees from 2005–2007 and 2008–2010. He was born on November 2, 1939, in Wichita Falls, Texas. Upon graduating in 1961, Barry served on the

board of Town & Country Homes, a publicly traded company that was founded by his father and eventually listed on the American Stock Exchange. In 1984, Barry founded Cavalier Homes, Inc., which produced and sold manufactured housing. Cavalier Homes ended up on the New York Stock Exchange and, eventually, merged with Southern Energy Homes, owned by Berkshire Hathaway, a Warren Buffett company. Barry retired in 2009. While Chairman, the KAOEF completed its Sesquicentennial Campaign, raising the most money, in the shortest period of time,

in its history. From September 2013 to April 2015, more than $900,000 was raised from one hundred and sixty-six donors, surpassing the original goal of $775,000. The Crimson & Gold Society was also launched. Barry was recognized with the Knight Commander's Accolade by William E. Dreyer at the 76th Covention & Sesquicentennial Celebration in 2015. Barry is survived by his wife, Johnelle, two daughters, Tennyson Logan and Paige Donnell, and a son, Dustin Donnell (Beta Lambda–Southern Methodist '01).

Today, the Kappa Alpha Order Education Foundation’s recognition program receives taxdeductible donations “In Honor” or “In Memory” of anyone and from anyone. Generally, one brother makes a donation in honor of a brother or group and designates it to recognize friendship, achievement, or significance; or one may make a donation in memory of a beloved brother, in lieu of flowers or some other recognition. Gifts count toward a member’s annual giving level and typically are unrestricted (but not required). Special notice is sent to the honoree or the family of the deceased brother, and those are then able to send a prepared thank you note back to the donor, creating a sincere and deserved system of recognition and thanks.

VOLUNTARY REMARKS

Commentary relevant to the Order

Welcome to The Ohio State!

This speech given by the chartering Number I, Andrew Neimeyer (Eta Alpha–Ohio State '24), at the chapter installation ceremonies on November 1, 2024, demonstrates the commitment to KA from our new Buckeye Brothers.

BY ANDY NEIMEYER

Thanks and Gratitude

Good evening. First, I would like to start by expressing my deepest gratitude to everyone who has played a part in making this night possible. To KA National [Administrative Office], thank you for your support and for being here to celebrate with us tonight, thank you for your guidance for our chapter whether it came from NLI, OTC, ELA, or just from the values you push through your hard work every day. Brent [Fellows], your help with securing and maintaining our chapter house has been a cornerstone for our chapter; we truly appreciate all you’ve done. I’d also like to thank my parents, Christie and Mike, for instilling in me the values that brought me to this fraternity; they are the foundation that helped me with everything I do. Of course we could not have done this without Teri [Cugliari] and the entire Sorority and Fraternity Life office at Ohio State—thank you for helping us navigate so much along the way, from your assistance with housing, to helping us build connections, we are very thankful - And Finally, to Cooper [Carroll]. You have been with us every step of the way, from those early meetings with our interest group to our initiation just last Sunday— Thank you for your commitment and belief in us. Your support for our chapter has been invaluable.

Reflect on the Journey

Reflecting on our journey, I can say it has been anything but easy, yet each of us stands here incredibly proud of how far we’ve come. When we first came together over a year ago on October 1, 2023, we were simply individuals, freshly inducted into the world of fraternity life with limited experience and no chapter house to call our own. There were a lot of doors we had to go through to get to this point. From figuring out how to run a chapter meeting, to building a semester budget, recruiting members without a chapter house, and doing it all without chapter alumni to learn from, each step was a challenge. Yet every brother who joined saw something in our values— reverence, gentility, knowledge, leadership, brotherhood, and excellence—these values resonated with us and inspired belief in what we were creating. From those humble beginnings just 13 months ago, to where we now stand is truly incredible.

Values and Vision

What makes this journey special is that none of us were taught these values by KA directly; instead, we were drawn to them. Reverence is at the core of our actions, respecting the traditions of KA while building something

new. Gentility guides us in our daily interactions, reminding us to uphold each other with respect and kindness. Knowledge and Leadership drive us, both within the fraternity and beyond, as we seek to excel in all facets of life. Brotherhood and Excellence are what bind us together and push us forward. These aren’t just ideals on a page— they are what brought us together and what will sustain us into the future.

Impact on Members

The impact of this fraternity on each of us goes far beyond words. Brotherhood here means standing by one another, learning together, and building each other up. We’ve faced challenges and celebrated wins, from late nights spent studying together, to the late nights spent … not studying with each other. These small moments have forged strong bonds, creating a community that feels like family. This brotherhood is the

foundation of everything we do, and I’m excited to see how it continues to grow and strengthen.

Commitment to the Future

Looking ahead, the potential for Eta Alpha is limitless. Our goals are ambitious, but our dedication to growth is even stronger. Recruitment remains our top priority, as it’s through these new members that we can continue to build on our vision. We will continue to focus on expanding our impact— whether it be by representing KA through the IFC or other school leadership, expanding our philanthropic efforts to massive levels, becoming one of the prominent KA chapters nationally, or simply by inspiring each other to reach for excellence in all that we pursue. This chapter is full of dreamers and doers, men committed to creating a lasting legacy for KA at Ohio State and beyond.

Final Closing Remarks

As we celebrate tonight, I’m filled with gratitude and confidence in the future that lies ahead for Eta Alpha. This chartering is far from an ending; it’s the start of a new chapter that every one of us will help to carve into history. I want to extend my deepest thanks to my brothers here beside me for entrusting me with the privilege of serving as your president. Together, we’ve accomplished what once seemed impossible, and it’s been an honor to stand beside you through it all. Thank you ALL for being part of this journey, for your commitment, and for your belief in our vision. Here’s to the future of Eta Alpha and everything we will continue to build together.

SIR,YOU ARE A KA

• Recipient, Distinguished Public Service Award

• Recipient, Knight Commander’s Accolade

A candid conversation with a member of our Order

Who is one KA from Gamma Chi you still talk to regularly?

Dr. Idris Traylor (who was my “Little Brother”—a great trivia question to new members), Steve Ramsey, Jim Stokes, and Clayton Devin. All Great Americans. Many of us from our pledge class get together for golf and dinners each May, most recently at Lake Texhoma.

How important was your relationship with Idris Traylor to your KA alumni involvement?

He was definitely a motivating factor—when he is in Washington, he serves as a reason for local KAs to get together. Was a great help in twice helping us set up alumni groups here.

Reflect briefly on your time hosting the annual Chiefs of Staff luncheon. What have you enjoyed most?

1. Visiting with other KAs, 2. Reflecting on the history and future of the fraternity,

3. Getting to tell stories and perhaps helping young men to grow in their potential.

What hobbies or activities are you involved with?

Restoring a 1964 Chevy Pickup, fishing, sporting clays, and woodworking.

What is one thing that better about D.C. since you’ve been there?

Great restaurants. What is worse? Traffic and political partisanship—so

much has been lost because partisanship has blocked fellowship and people getting to know each other.

What is one piece of advice for all undergraduates KAs looking to their future?

Forgive me for providing three: keep in touch with your brothers, protect the true basis of KA that you learned during your initiation, and three, advice from Congressman Steve Womack (Epsilon Zeta–Arkansas Tech ‘79) when he met with the KA interns here: “15 minutes a day will make a difference in your career, always arrive at work ten minutes early, and always leave 5 minutes after the last person.
