Good
morning,
good
morning,
it's
a
pleasure
to
do
this
resolution
to
honor
a
great
institution
that
has
had
a
lot
of
leadership
and
we
train
people
for
leadership
in
a
lot
of
different
fields
of
human
endeavor.
As
a
municipal
elected
official
level,
we've
done
training
for
leadership
all
across
this
nation
and
I'm
honored.
To
follow
the
footsteps
of
some
great
captain:
men
like
Mayor
Tom
Bradley
from
Los
Angeles,
Mayor,
Wellington,
web
Denver,
Mayor,
Michael,
Coleman
from
Columbus
Ohio
and
then
here
locally.

Whereas
their
vision,
these
ten
astute
men
founded
a
college
fraternity
now
comprised
of
functioning
undergraduate
and
alumni
chapters
on
campuses
in
cities
throughout
this
nation
and
throughout
the
world.
Through
that
seed,
a
fraternal
tree
was
grown
whose
fruit
of
membership
is
available,
2
and
now
enjoy
by
over
150,000
college
men,
regardless
of
race,
religion
or
national
origin.
E
Whereas,
in
addition
to
the
achievement
of
its
members,
kappa
alpha,
phi
fraternity
is
dedicated
to
training
for
leadership
and
through
its
various
programs,
including
the
a
man
initiative.
Achievement
academy,
guide,
right,
kappa
chance
and
kappa
league
has
mentored
several
young
men
into
the
past.
Current
and
future
leaders
of
our
country
and.
F
Whereas
members,
a
kappa
alpha
phi
fraternity,
have
a
life
long
commitment
to
serve
in
the
common
person
and
through
their
commitment,
have
provided
substantial
support
to
safety,
st.
Jude's,
Children's
Research
Hospital,
the
United
Negro
College,
Fund,
habitat
for
humanity
and
several
other
nationwide
and
grassroots
community
service
initiatives
across
the
country
and
around
the
world.
F

Whereas
kappa
alpha
phi
phi
fraternity
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
share
a
special
bond
and
that
the
fraternities
international
headquarters
is
located
in
in
philadelphia
and
historically,
the
greater
philadelphia
region
has
become
home
to
hundreds
of
members
in
both
undergraduate
and
alumni
chapters.
Future
mother
of
hopefully
a
Kappa
Alpha
member,
my
son,
would
say
it
is
the
organization
with
the
most
step,
mom.
