DECATUR ALUMNI CHAPTER
In November 1980, fifteen dedicated brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi, residing in Decatur and Dekalb County, formed an association known as "The Men of Crimson and Cream." Their vision was to establish a chapter that would strengthen the fraternity's bond within the community and reengage inactive members. This dream became reality on April 4, 1981, when the Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi officially chartered the Decatur (GA) Alumni Chapter, with many notable founding brothers and the esteemed Brother Edward Giles Irvin, one of the last living founders of the fraternity, in attendance. Since then, the Decatur Alumni Chapter has been led by a dedicated series of Polemarchs and has consistently demonstrated a commitment to service, supporting the community through Thanksgiving and Christmas drives, coat and toy donations, and partnerships with the Dekalb County Family and Children Services.
Polemarch's Message
Decatur Alumni is comprised of some of the world’s most accomplished men in their respective area of occupations, area of volunteerism, and service. I am truly humbled to serve as their Polemarch.
