ETAC Charter plaque.jpg

Since its inception, service to the community has been the chapter’s major objective, with attention to youth foremost. Englewood-Teaneck Alumni has organized a Kappa League which is comprised of teen males from the community. Through role models, leadership training and cultural experiences, the youngsters are encouraged to achieve and to develop and enhance their talents and abilities. The chapter also sponsored and coached a championship team in the Teaneck Biddy Basketball League. 

​​The Englewood-Teaneck Chapter of KappaAlpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was chartered on March 22, 1987. The charter members were William E. Baker, Jerome Boyd, Calvin E. Browne, Joseph Dalton, Jr., Booker Daniels, James V. Dixon, Edward M. Henderson, Robert Herring, Joseph Johnson, 

James A. Jones, Robert L. Jones, Frank C. Mahon, Charles Robinson, Bernard Seabrooks, 

Walter Smith and Willie L. Sutton. James A. Jones was the first Polemarch. 

As a part of the chapter’s community service program, Thanksgiving food baskets and Christmas toys were provided for needy families at an area community center. In 1996, Englewood Teaneck Chapter and Holy Name Hospital combined their efforts to offer free prostate cancer screening at four local churches. In 1997, Englewood-Teaneck established a computer literacy program. 

 

The Chapter has continued to grow and has received numerous Grand Chapter and Northeastern Province Awards. Members have been elected to a Grand Chapter and a number of Northeastern Province Offices.

Englewood-Teaneck Alumni Chapter via the Diamond Scholarship & Charitable Fund continues  to provide scholarships each year since 1992.
