The Kadillac Chapter: "Growth Through Sustainment, Reclamation and Renovation"
As the Nashville (TN) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., chartered on April 24, 1926, marches boldly toward our 100th year of achievement, we take a moment to reflect on a special piece of our history.
In the April 1993 edition of The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal, two of our very own—Brother Cecil Hardy and Brother James Reese—were featured together on the cover. The article inside, titled “Bridging the Gap Through Brotherly Love,” captured something timeless: the unity of generations within the Bond.
Brother Hardy, initiated in 1947, was the chapter’s most seasoned member at the time. In that Journal feature, he reflected on the future of Kappa Alpha Psi, sharing what he hoped to see by the year 2000. Standing beside him was Brother Reese, a Fall 1991 initiate and then the youngest member of Nashville Alumni. He shared the excitement of his first two years as a Kappa man.
That powerful image of the oldest and youngest brothers side by side embodied the strength of our fraternity: wisdom and legacy passing into the hands of new leadership, ensuring continuity of our purpose. Just months later, in July 1993, Kappa men from across the nation convened in Nashville for Conclave—making the moment all the more significant for our chapter’s history.
As we prepare to celebrate a century of service, let us remember how far we have come and how important it is to keep bridging the gap through brotherly love.
Yours in the Bond,
Brother Larry Morris
