Kappa Leaguers journeyed to Baltimore for the CIAA Tournament Men's and Women's Basketball Championship Games at CFG Bank Arena. During the women's game, our Kappa Leaguers looked on as Fayetteville State University took down Elizabeth City State University 64-59 to claim the CIAA Women's Basketball Championship.

Next, our Kappa Leaguers witnessed the Lincoln University Lions (PA) defeat the Fayetteville State University Broncos 54-51 in a hard-fought battle. Prior to the game, our Kappa Leaguers embraced the full HBCU experience and atmosphere during the CIAA Fan Fest at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Kappa League for the Bowie/Mitchellville Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. partnered with Charter Senior Living of Bowie as they hosted their MLK Day Community Service Project. Our Kappa Leaguers met and greeted senior residents; provided toiletries and hygiene products for senior residents; engaged senior residents in MLK trivia; and thoroughly enjoyed playing board games with senior residents as well.

Our Kappa Leaguers also had the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with a resident who was 103 years of age.

According to the USA Swimming Foundation, 64% of African-American children and 45% of Hispanic children have little to no ability to swim, even though swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88%. Drownings continue to be the leading cause of death among young children, especially in pools. From 2018 to 2020, more than 1,100 kids, 15 years and younger, died from reported drownings.

Our young men received invaluable information and insight on the following: use of personal flotation devices; understanding water depths and never to swim alone; recognizing the signs of drowning; action steps if someone is drowning; floating techniques and buoyancy maneuvers; and the significance of remaining calm if you were to fall into the water.

On Saturday, January 6th, the Kappa League for the Bowie/Mitchellville Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. hosted their Effective Leadership Strategies Forum with accomplished author and mentor Mr. Daon McLarin Johnson.

As a certified life coach, Mr. Johnson has dedicated his life to educating, empowering, and equipping emerging leaders.

The true meaning of Christmas in doing their part to keep the city of Bowie, Maryland beautiful as they participated in our annual BMAC Kappa League Highway Cleanup.
