2018 2019 LDAC Kappa League Program
9/8/2018 Induction Ceremony at GGC with 36 new Kappa Leaguers inducted into our program. We also had a dynamic speaker in E.M. Watson and started our work with the Georgia Gwinett College African American Male Initiative (AAMI) with their first session.
On 9/14, LDAC Friday Night Lights attended the Norcross and Archer High School Football game to support our very own Kappa Leaguer, Lance Jackson #3. Great job Lance! On 9/28, LDAC Friday Night Lights, we supported two of our SENIOR Kappa Leaguers, Kameron Brown (#34) and Garrett Redditt (#41), as they led their team to victory. Great job Kameron and Garrett!
October - Kappa Leaguers out in the community supporting Atlanta Black Theater and the HOPE Inc Deon Lewis memorial Walk Run in Shorty Howell park. The LDAC Family, along with other Pan Hellenic members, are showed support for Officer Toney and his family. October ended with and excellent day of community service for the LDAC Kappa League as we served at the For Eternity Christian Church Octoberfest event today. We had 41 Kappa Leaguers and 9 LDAC brothers volunteer.
On 11/17 we had more than 100 Kappa Leaguers and their families attend a private screening of the movie "Hate U Give". Awesome!
Thanks to everyone that took a day on and not a day off to participate with us for the Gwinnett County MLK Day Parade on 1/21. LDAC is recognized for supporting this great event. We had a great turn out with 64 Kappa Leaguers and 33 LDAC Brothers in attendance.
One priority of our Kappa League program is to provide our Kappa Leaguers with opportunities for Leadership development. From 2/8 - 2/10, the Juniors, Seniors, and Officers participated in the Southeastern Province Kappa League Conference in Clemson, SC. 35 Kappa Leaguers attended which is another record for our chapter. Itinerary: Day 1 travel to the conference and opening session. Day 2 was a day of Excellence with 6 great leadership sessions and a Clemson Tigers win against Virginia Tech basketball game, and being inspired during the touching presentation by our guest speaker during the dinner session. We closed on Day 3 with an Ecumenical Service, a great word from Brother Freeman, and a safe trip home.
Another program focus is academics: On 2/16, we held the LDAC SAT Math Boot Camp at Roberts Elementary School with 17 participants. The LDAC Foundation and Ms. Carter (The Math Lady) sponsored many of the student participants at this event. This informative SAT prep session has helped many young students increase their SAT scores.
We had a great March Kappa League Business Meeting on Saturday (3/16). There were 44 Kappa Leaguers and 15 LDAC Brothers in attendance. We completed Kappa League Officer Nominations for the 2019 - 2020 year and highlighted the many achievements of our Kappa Leaguers. Lastly, we took the final collection for our Black History Month clothes drive to benefit homeless kids. Kudos to Kappa Leaguer Micah Gary for leading that effort.

2019 LDAC Foundation Scholarship Banquet
