	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the Southwestern Province of Kappa Alpha
	Psi Fraternity, Inc., are gathering in Austin to celebrate Kappa
	Day at the State Capitol on March 11, 2025; and
	WHEREAS, One of the oldest historically Black Greek-letter
	fraternities in the nation, Kappa Alpha Psi was founded at Indiana
	University in 1911; nearly two decades later, the fraternity
	established its Southwestern Province to serve chapters in
	Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Mississippi, and Texas; and
	WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Southwestern Province of
	Kappa Alpha Psi has upheld the fraternity's mission to encourage a
	commitment to excellence and to promote the well-being of its
	members and their communities; many of the organization's alumni
	have distinguished themselves as leaders in education, public
	service, business, and civic engagement; and
	WHEREAS, For more than a century, Kappa Alpha Psi has worked
	to foster a brotherhood of concerned citizens who devote themselves
	to the greater good, and its members may indeed reflect with pride
	on their organization's noteworthy tradition of activism and
	achievement; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 11, 2025, as Kappa Day at the
	State Capitol and extend to all those associated with Kappa Alpha
	Psi Fraternity, Inc., sincere best wishes for continued success;
	and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Southwestern Province of Kappa Alpha Psi as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
