"Dining with the Kappas"
Supports Haiti Relief Efforts
 
Houghton _ January 24, 2010

This local event is part of a nationwide "Dining with the Kappas" fundraiser that undergraduate chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi across the United States will be hosting on the same day. Chapters are partnering with any restaurant of their choice, making a percentage of the total profits of the people they bring to the restaurant, and donating 100 percent of that money to Haiti relief. This event is one of many efforts from the fraternity's "iKare" (International Kappa Action Relief Effort) initiative, which was started to help those in need in response to this natural disaster.

"Everyone from the local community is welcome and encouraged to eat at Joey's Seafood and Grill anytime that day to help do their part," said Perry E. Wilson, Jr., president of the Omicron Theta Chapter. "If we unite together as a community, we can do many great things for the people of Haiti! This is only the beginning of what Kappa Alpha Psi will be personally doing."

Members of the Omicron Theta Chapter will be dining at the restaurant from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. that day to promote attendance. To support the fundraiser, mention Kappa Alpha Psi's name, print out flyer or put your meal receipt in the donation box next to the cash register.

Locally, the Omicron Theta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., was founded on campus during the academic year of 1999-2000.
