Our theme this year is “Shaping the Future through Leadership and Development!” As always, it is rewarding to work the young men who chose to participate in the Beautillion Miltaire Scholarship Program. The young men of this year’s program have all demonstrated to the members of the Kappa Beautillion Militaire Scholarship Program Committee(KBMSPC), that they are ready to complete the final phase of our Rights of Passage Ceremony, and step into the role of manhood. I want to express sincere thanks to the parents of these men for allowing me, and other members of the Charlotte Alumni chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Inc., the opportunity to insert positive values, ethics, and social characteristics into their lives as they enter the college and universities of their choice. Your kindness, understanding, support, and financial contributions have helped to make this year’s Beautillion Militaire Scholarship program a huge success. To the young men participating in the 36th Annual Kappa Beautillion Militaire, you have earned our respect and admiration with your commitment, character, intellect, and talent.

Today is the beginning of your success story. God is the author and the illustrator. You just have to be the character, and live the story. Remember, “It’s not what you know, or who you know, but who knows you” that is important. First and foremost, make sure you know God, and he knows you. He will never let you down.

Dubois, “Be your own man!” May you have a positive and productive life of success, and keep your eye on the prize. Sincerely, Brandon J. Dillahunt Brandon J. Dillahunt, Chairman, Kappa Beautillion Militaire 4 A Brief History of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. KAPPA ALPHA PSI, a college Fraternity, now comprised of functioning Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major campuses and in cities throughout the country, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founders ELDER WATSON DIGGS, JOHN MILTON LEE, BYRON K. ARMSTRONG, GUY LEVIS GRANT, EZRA D. ALEXANDER, HENRY T. ASHER, MARCUS P. BLAKEMORE, PAUL CAINE, EDWARD G. IRVIN and GEORGE W. EDMONDS. It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910 - 11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911. On the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, was sown the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is now available to, and enjoyed by college men everywhere, regardless of color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which KAPPA ALPHA PSI is justly proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause, which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of any man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of KAPPA ALPHA PSI is predicated upon, and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity. The Fraternity's fundamental purpose is achievement. Early in this century, AfricanAmerican students were actively dissuaded from attending college. Formidable obstacles were erected to prevent the few who were enrolled from assimilating into co-curricular campus life. This ostracism characterized Indiana University in 1911, thus causing the Founders to form Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, which remains the only Greek letter organization with its 1st Chapter on the University's campus. They sought a formula that would immediately raise the sights of black collegians and stimulate them to accomplishments higher than they might have imagined. Fashioning achievement as it's purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began uniting college men of culture, patriotism and honor in a bond of fraternity. Chartered and incorporated originally under the laws of the State of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Nu on May 15, 1911, the name was changed to KAPPA ALPHA PSI on a resolution offered and adopted at the Grand Chapter in December 1914. This change became effective April 15, 1915, on a proclamation by the then Grand Polemarch, Elder Watson Diggs. Thus, the name acquired a distinctive Greek letter symbol and KAPPA ALPHA PSI thereby became a Greek letter Fraternity in every sense of the designation. Since the fraternity’s founding, more than 82,000 members have been initiated into undergraduate and alumni chapters throughout the United States and chapters in the United Kingdom, Korea, Japan, Germany and the Bahamas. 5 The History and Objectives of the Kappa Beautillion Militaire The Kappa Beautillion (pronounced bō-til’yen) was developed in Charlotte NC as a local response to Guide Right, the national service directive of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Since its inception in 1976 by the late Dr. C.W. Williams, MD, this program has become a landmark experience for those who have participated and has since been adopted by Kappa Alumni chapters across the country. The program provides African American youth with mentoring, guidance, self-awareness, college preparation, leadership training and scholarships. Through the non-profit Kappa Foundation of Charlotte, Inc., the men of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi volunteer our time and resources to “Invest in the Future”. The Foundation provides a structured atmosphere for young men in their senior year of high school to develop socially, culturally and intellectually through mentored workshops while providing scholarship opportunities. Students are selected for participation based on character, academic performance, talent and extracurricular activities. Planned activities culminate with a formal presentation that will highlight the participant’s development, accomplishments and talents. Program Objectives To provide a structured atmosphere for high school students to develop socially, intellectually, spiritually and morally through professionally supervised educational research, seminars, workshops, and social activities. The program provides participants with: Seminars and Workshops. Self awareness. Understanding of personal potential. Fellowship with aspiring high achievers. Professional mentoring. Teamwork and leadership skills. Social and interpersonal skills. Guidance on college and career choices. College preparation Academic development. Opportunity to earn scholarships. Banquet Award Finale 6 The History of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. The Charlotte Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was founded on June 10th 1944, by three distinguished members. They are Howard W. Hill, Paris P. McCorkle and Carson H. Beckwith. The chapter was chartered on May 3, 1953. Presently, the Charlotte Alumni Chapter is very active in the community and participates in over 15 annual service events. They include the Kappa Beautillion Militaire and the Kappa League, which provide programs and activities for youth, Thanksgiving and Christmas clothing and food drives, Big Brothers and Big Sisters program and the Salvation Army Kettle Drive. The chapter has also made contributions to the uptown Men's Shelter and the United Negro College Fund on behalf of area black colleges and universities. In July 2003 we kicked off our 76th National Grand Chapter Conclave Meeting here in Charlotte by establishing a Computer Lab at the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club on Milton Road. The chapter has made a tremendous effort at being focused on working in the community and has been quite successful in doing so. Points of interest for the chapter include hosting the 2003 as well as the 1970 National Grand Chapter meetings, and having several members that have been recipients of various honors and awards from both the fraternity and the community. We also have several prominent brothers that have been members of the chapter such as: Dr. Reginald Hawkins, who was a civil rights activist; Bro. William Blakeney, who served in many different capacities for the fraternity; Bro. Howard C. Barnhill; Dr. Kenneth Chambers and Bro. Johnny Newman. Additionally we have Bro. Carlos D. Watson, Esq., who is currently our Senior Province Polemarch. Presently the Charlotte Alumni Chapter has over 150 active members. 7 Kappa Foundation of Charlotte, Inc. “Investing in the Future” KAPPA BEAUTILLION COMMITTEE and MENTORS Brandon Dillahunt - Chairman Calvin Reeves Mike Boone Ryan Coleman Anthony Love Sammy Taylor Orlando Carr Elliott Lemon Marcus Chapman Donald Colson H.
