2. Virginia Commonwealth University Colony to be Installed on April 28, 2002
by Deb Eakins, KKPsi National VP for Programs

It is my distinct honor and pleasure to announce the installation date of the Virginia Commonwealth University Colony into the ranks of active chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi.

The Third degree and installation will occur on Sunday, April 28th at 2:30 PM in the VCU Music Center, on the corner of Harrison and Grove Avenue, on the campus of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Directions will follow in a separate e-mail early next week.

Please make an entire weekend of the event and hit the Picnic on the Mall, sponsored by the Alpha Kappa Chapter in Washington, DC on Saturday, April 27th and then take a short 2 hour drive on down the road to Richmond to enjoy a piano recital at 1 PM on Sunday April 28th, given by Jessica Fullerton, one of the colonists at VCU, in the Concert Hall which is Performing Arts Center on the corner of Harrison and Park Avenue. The degree will be held at 2:30 PM in the nearby VCU Music Center, followed by the chapter installation. The installation ceremony is open to the public and all brothers and sisters are invited to attend this historic occasion.

The VCU colonists are also offering to house people on a first come first serve basis. In addition, there are many hotels in the area for those who are interested in that type of accommodation. For specific directions or to make housing arrangement with the colony please contact Tracie at sunshinegrl21@hotmail.com

Please join the Eta Beta chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at Virginia Tech and myself as we help the outstanding men and women of our colony at Virginia Commonwealth complete their journey into the brotherhood of Kappa Kappa Psi.

Fraternally,

Deb Eakins
VCU Colony Advisor and
National Vice President for Programs

3. 'Fill-in-the-blank' Forms are available on-line.
by Michael McMurtrey, National Headquarters Publications Manager

For those of you who like to do things easily, I've added another 'fill-in-the-blank' form to the web site: the Chapter Summary Report. This brings to six the number of forms in such format; they are:

KKPsi Initiate Registration Form
KKPsi Chapter Personnel Update
TBSigma Initiate Registration Form
TBSigma Chapter Personnel Update
Chapter Summary Report (both)
Honorary Membership Nomination (both)

If money is involved, these forms will also automatically calculate the amount due. I have also added language to the web page identifying them in red to make them easier to find on the page.

Watch for others as time permits.
