Service

This page is dedicated in appreciation to the service rendered by the Order by three General Officers whose terms expired on January 15, 1936:

The Order acknowledges with appreciation the twenty-four years of service represented by the combined terms of these three Kappa Alphas, and hereby extends its sincere fraternal thanks. It is by freely given service, such as theirs, that our organization is enabled to retain the spirit of brotherhood that it has enjoyed throughout seventy years of existence.

KNIGHT COMMANDER AND NEW COUNCILORS

Promulgation of New Constitution

My dear Brothers:

January 15, 1936

This will advise that the new Constitution, “Kappa Alpha Laws”, including “By-Laws”, as finally submitted by the Constitution Committee at the Thirty-Eighth Biennial Convention, was properly submitted, and certified by the Executive Secretary, acting for the Grand Historian, under assigned duties provided in our Law.

It is further advised that the above mentioned proposed Constitution and By-Laws were adopted as an amendment and in substitution for the then existing Constitution of the Order, in full compliance with the constitutional provisions as existing.

It is further advised and directed that the “Kappa Alpha Laws” as passed by and adopted by the ThirtyEighth Biennial Convention at Memphis, Tennessee, are this date promulgated and shall henceforth be effective as the governing law of the Order.

Respectfully and fraternally, Emmett Irwin, M.D. Knight Commander.
