Kappa Alpha Psi Week: A Recap

Kappa Week was truly a highly anticipated week that did not disappoint, with little to no hiccups. Kappa Week is a week where there is at least one event that day, put on by the Nupes, for SU Jaguar students to enjoy. On Sunday, the fraternity held a church service at Philadelphia Baptist Church, entitled Brotherhood Sunday. It was led by Pastor Anderson. The Nupes commented, «They wanted to start off Kappa Week right, by having God in control of this week, and by doing so will make it all the more successful.”

The DJ battles were held between 12 p.m.– 2 p.m. in the Union. Upon the event starting no one was around due to class and other student life activities.

Next was the game day portion. The contestants strutted their stuff in their best SU attire.

A brief intermission took place, and the contestants were ready for the second round which was swimwear. After the girls exhibited some of their beautiful swimwear outfits, the SU crowd did not hesitate to show their love. Moving on to the talent round, the contestants put on a range of talents ranging from contestants singing iconic songs all the way to contestants putting on eye-catching dance performances.
