Happy Founders' Day in the New Beginnings of 2008!

In this era where it is easy to forget special people and relationships, we can count on Founders' Day to make us remember not only what it had to be like on a Sunday night in Indianapolis many years ago as well as wherever and whenever we have felt the warmth of our Bond.

Today is a day for remembering and reminding one another why we sought to become Nupes--for its representation of achievement within our lives.

Today is not a day for looking down on another Brother because of what his physical viewing situation may appear to be, his financial status, fraternal activity level, and whether some would believe that he is keeping the flames of Kappa alive.  If your Kappa Spirit is strong enough to remotely feel worthy to look down on another's present state, then take the time to remind him of who he was, what he believed, and who he still is to become in spite of his present state.

Do not allow him to fester and wallow within temporary defeat, agony, and distress regardless of it being self-inflicted or thrust upon him externally.

There are far too many who have been left behind and apparently forgotten about and written off.

Today is Founders' Day and until we raise the standard of achievement and encourage every Nupe to remain in the game, our victories believed real or imagined within the game dwell in jeopardy.

Here is to you our Founders and our inspiration.

Yours in the Bond!
