POLEMARCH’S WELCOME
◇ Welcome, and thank you for visiting the official website of the Baltimore (MD) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.
◇ Since our founding in 1921, the Baltimore Alumni Chapter has proudly served as a beacon of Brotherhood, leadership, and community service in the Greater Baltimore area and throughout the Eastern Province. It is both a tremendous honor and a humbling responsibility to serve as the 54th Polemarch of this distinguished chapter. I am proud to follow in the footsteps of great leaders who helped build this chapter into one of the most respected and accomplished in all of Kappa Alpha Psi.
◇ As we prepare to host the 88th Grand Chapter Meeting in 2027, we stand at a critical moment in our chapter’s history. The opportunity to welcome our noble clan to Baltimore brings great responsibility, and it demands unity, preparation, and a clear vision. Under the theme, “Brotherhood, True to the Ideals of Fraternity,” we are committed to strengthening the relationships among our Brothers, expanding our impact in the community, and operating with a renewed focus on transparency, excellence, and accountability.
◇ Our chapter thrives because of its diversity, of age, profession, perspective, and experience. Senior Brothers are valued and honored for their wisdom and sacrifice. Young Brothers are empowered and nurtured for the future of the Fraternity. Reclaimed Brothers are welcomed and embraced as vital contributors to our legacy. And every Brother, regardless of when or where he was initiated, is reminded that this is a chapter where he belongs and where his presence makes a difference.
◇ Beyond our Brotherhood, the Baltimore Alumni Chapter is committed to meaningful community engagement. We continue to serve the city through youth mentorship, educational support, voter registration, health awareness, and strategic partnerships that create lasting change. We do this work not for recognition, but because it reflects who we are and what we believe: that achievement and service must go hand in hand.
◇ I am grateful to serve alongside a leadership team of Brothers who share a commitment to our mission and a heart for the work ahead. Together, we will continue to build upon the solid foundation laid before us, ensuring that this chapter remains a model of what it means to be true to the ideals of Kappa Alpha Psi.
◇ Whether you are a Brother looking to reconnect, a member of the community seeking collaboration, or someone simply learning more about who we are, know that you are welcome here. This website offers a glimpse into our history, our values, and our ongoing work. We encourage you to explore, engage, and reach out if we can be of service or support.
◇ On behalf of the Officers, Directors, and Brothers of the Baltimore (MD) Alumni Chapter, thank you for your time, your interest, and your belief in what we represent.

🎉🏆 WE DID IT! 🏆🎉
Congratulations to the Baltimore (MD) Alumni Chapter Guide Right Kappa League Debate Team for bringing home the victory in the National Kappa League Debate Challenge Championship!
This win is a testament to the brilliance, preparation, and poise of our young men…and the tireless leadership of Brother Gary Rahman (Guide Right Chairman) and Brother Mike Worthy (Debate Coach).
We salute not only our team, but every young man who competed in this tournament. The intelligence, confidence, and critical thinking on display from all of these participants prove exactly why our Guide Right/Kappa League program is so powerful.
Moments like this remind us that we must celebrate academic excellence, leadership, and debate victories just as much…if not more…than we do athletic championships. Our young men are champions on and off the field.
Let’s keep raising the bar! ✨
