Hyattsville/Landover (MD) Alumni Chapter By: Troy Stewart The Hyattsville/Landover (MD) Alumni Chapter participated in a myriad of activities this fall. Some of those activities consisted of Senior Kappa IT training, where the senior brothers received information on the latest and greatest tips and tricks when using their mobile phones and computers. They also participated heavily in assisting with Chapter Reclamation efforts to bring brothers back into the fraternity and the chapter.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to rework our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, where we’d normally get together and prepare food baskets for needy families and deliver them. As an attempt to stay safe and keep others safe, the committee decided to disperse grocery store Gift Cards for the Thanksgiving Food Drive, mostly from donations from the brothers of Hyattsville/Landover. This enabled families to shop for the things that they needed themselves. The Senior Kappas also stepped up and hosted the Chapter Holiday Mixer, which enabled the chapter and our guests to bring the holidays in right. Because the Thanksgiving food drive was such a success, the chapter with the help of the Senior Kappas, decided to duplicate its efforts and host a Christmas Holiday Gift Card Food Drive. This fraternal year began with a reorganized Senior Kappa Committee under our new Polemarch Brother Richard C. Baker. Polemarch Baker asked Brother Lawrence Robinson to chair the Senior Kappa Committee. The Senior Kappa Committee meets twice monthly, every first Tuesday of the month for planning and the second Tuesday for a Senior Kappa Luncheon. The first meeting of the Senior Kappa Committee (SKC) was a joint in-person and Zoom meeting. It was determined that the priority for our Senior Kappa members was to get some training on how to access Zoom on the computer and cell phone and how to access and use Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms. With approximately 150 financial members in our chapter, 60 of those members (60) are Senior Kappas. The SKC continuously invites unfinancial and non-affiliated brothers to join us at the Hyattsville/Landover (MD) Alumni Chapter by attending special reclamation events or joining us for our monthly lunch, which takes place at a local restaurant. The Senior Kappa Committee assisted with the Chapter’s annual Thanksgiving Holiday
