Dear Middle Eastern Province Board of Directors and Brothers All:

 

I would like to first thank all of you for making the 2003 C. Roger
Wilson Leadership Conference held at North Carolina Central University
on October 4, a great success.  I feel with all of your help we had a
very successful and information packed leadership conference.  The C.
Roger Wilson Leadership Conference is a very important event for us as
it helps us as chapters and brothers to kick off our fraternity year
with a lot of useful information.  So I want to say thank you to the
Middle Eastern Province Board of Directors, the Alpha Kappa, Iota Xi,
Theta Omicron, Durham Alumni Chapters, and Brother Joseph K. Davis,
Middle Eastern Province C. Roger Wilson chairman.  I also want to give a
special thanks to Brother Harold Bass Province Sr. Vice Polemarch,
Brother Fred Black, Durham Alumni, Brother Bernard Reeves, Province
Reporter, and all the facilitators that helped with C. Roger Wilson and
the whole Middle Eastern Province for all the hard work that was put in
to making our 2003 C. Roger Wilson Leadership Conference a success.

 

As I have mentioned earlier I intend to keep the Board of Directors as
well as the Province as a whole, updated and informed of activities,
changes, and any news that affect the Middle Eastern Province.

 

I would like to update you all on some of the events and changes that
have been made as the Month of October is coming to a close.

chapters that have any use of the playboy bunny logo, please discontinue

websites, and all related things to Kappa.  If this is not complied
with, your chapter will be placed on immediate cease and desist.

 

5.	On October 7, the Kappa Xi Chapter (North Carolina State

and desist, until a formal investigation has been conducted, and as a
result of that investigation, a decision will be determine as to the
status of the chapter.

Smithfield (NC) Alumni Chapter as the Middle Eastern Province Guide
Right Chairman

 

9.	Just as a reminder On November 14 - 16, 2003 the Middle Eastern
Province will be conducting our fall Intake Cluster, in Charlotte, NC. 

 

10.	Also as a reminder, our Province IT Chairman, Brother Crawford
Lane, Jr. is setting up a secured email list for our Chat with the Grand

Brother Lane about this matter please do so, as soon as possible.

 

Also I would like to wish all my brothers in the Middle Eastern Province

Birthday and many more to come.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the near future you will be hearing more about my trip to
Philadelphia, and some of the things that I came away with from that
weekend.  Again I want to say thank you for all you support to the
Middle Eastern Province, and me.  I would like to ask that all Chapter
Polemarchs and Brothers that receive this letter to pass it on to all
brothers in you chapters, whether it be through email, hard copies, or
just reading it in your chapter meeting. It is important that all
brothers of the Middle Eastern Province be kept abreast of what is going
on in our Province.  Also, look forward to updates on our Province as
the year progresses.  

 

Yours in the Bond
