Southeastern Province

A Brief History of The Southeastern Province

The books, Story of Kappa Alpha Psi and the History of the Southern Province, documents the origins of the Southeastern Province. The history dates back to 1926 when

Deaver P.Young was the Province Polemarch. Prior to 1924, the provinces were known as Regions One through Seven. The Southeastern Province, as we know it today, was formed in 1951. Until that time, the province included all chapters along the eastern seaboard from North Carolina to Florida, including Georgia and Alabama.

 

The current geographic regions of the Southeastern and Southern Provinces of Kappa Alpha Psi were created by the last Grand Chapter at which the late illustrious J. Ernest Wilkins, Sr., presided., this a result of extensive study, the Grand Board of Directors, meeting in Kansas City, MO, in 1950, recommended that the Southeastern Province, then the most extensive province in Kappadom, comprising, as it did, the states of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida be partitioned. At the same session of the Grand Chapter in Kansas City, a proposal to partition the Southwestern Province was defeated. After much debate and comparison of the record, a compromise was made whereby the Southwestern Province remained intact, comprising the states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
