Brother Sterlin Adams may not appear in many recent Polemarch photographs, but he remains a living Past Polemarch whose legacy continues to shape the Nashville (TN) Alumni Chapter. Now residing in Tallahassee, Florida, Brother Adams is seldom able to return to Nashville; nevertheless, his impact on the chapter is enduring and unmistakable.
A proud initiate of the Pi Chapter, Brother Adams served as Polemarch from 1973 to 1976, where he was widely known for his first-class style, high standards, and reputation as a perfectionist in leadership. During his tenure, the Kappa House at 901 26th Avenue North was remodeled, the chapter’s Happy Hour tradition was established, and numerous scholarships were awarded to deserving students.
Under his administration, the chapter’s Black & White Balls became hallmark events—hosted at the National Guard Armory and featuring two live bands, ensuring continuous music and an elevated experience on both sides of the venue.
Brother Adams was honored as the guest speaker at the chapter’s 90th Charter Celebration in 2016, held at Temple Church, where his presence reminded all in attendance of the excellence and tradition he exemplified as Polemarch.

The 2026 celebration of the 17th National Founders' Day will convene in Nassau, Bahamas.
We enjoy numerous member and chapter achievements, such as receiving the Elder Watson Diggs Award and multiple South Central Province Awards. Our chapter also notes its early leadership roles within the fraternity structure and ongoing community involvement, including participation in the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins and leading the local Kappa League.
The legacy of Kappa Alpha Psi in Middle Tennessee began on April 24, 1926, with the founding of the Nashville (TN) Alumni Chapter. As the first chapter established in the area, we have proudly carried the torch of our fraternity's mission for decades. We are honored to be known as the "Kadillac" Chapter, a title that reflects our dedication to excellence.

Drawing upon the seasoned wisdom of our senior brothers and past polemarchs, our chapter represents a rich tapestry of ages, professions, and expertise. This deep well of collective experience is frequently called upon by the South Central Province to provide guidance and leadership.

Joining Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. connects members to a proud history spanning more than 90 years. Our chapter, representing the fraternity's Men of Stature, actively carries this legacy forward with a deep commitment to our community and a track record of impactful service.
