Brothers,

It is my honor and privilege to announce the re-installation of the Iota Kappa Chapter, #226 of Kappa Kappa Psi at Boise State University. The Installation took place at this past Friday in Flagstaff, AZ at the Western District Convention, in the presence of over 300 Brothers and Sisters. Many thanks to Gamma Kappa and Iota Gamma for their presentations of the Ritual as well as the Western District Council, Governor Paul Patterson and National Vice President for Student Affairs Tony Roscoe, for their assistance with the Installation Ceremony. Also special thanks to the Sisters and Brothers of Tau Beta Sigma who made a point to attend the installation ceremony following their Ritual. And finally, thanks to the Western District for their enthusiastic support of Iota Kappa both as a colony and now as an active chapter, keep up the great work!

Feel free to send your congratulatory notes to the Chapter through their President Ryan "Boise" Baker at boise@kkpsi.org.
