This year during Welcome Week, the Class of 2014 was determined to break the Guinness World Record for largest game of Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes. Brother Damon DeShields helped coordinate the event and served as the liaison between the students and Guinness. The event had a great turnout, however the freshman class fell short of the 1,461 people they needed to break the record. Maybe next year?

Temple University Spring Fling Step Show – April 15, 2010
The Lambda Nupes team up with the Delta Eta Philadelphia Citywide Chapter to win 1st place and $1500 at Temple University's Spring Fling Step Show. After finding out only a week before that the Pi Rho Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha also had prepared a "Hangover" theme for their show, the Nupes switched their theme to "Ocean's 11" at the last minute. The performance was filled with precise steps, daredevil tactics, humor, sex appeal, and a successful robbery of the actual step show trophies during the performance. Good job Nupes.

Undergraduate Leadership Institute – Delta Class
Congratulations to Brother Anthony T. Powell, Jr. for being selected to attend the Undergraduate Leadership Institute – Delta Class in Cincinatti, Ohio from June 5th – 12th. This particular class of ULI was a very competitive class to be accepted in to. This class had applicants from all over the United States and across the seas. Only the best, of the best were accepted to the Delta Class of ULI. The reason this class was so competitive is the fact that this was the first class to be sponsored by an outside company; that being General Electric (GE). General Electric invested money into each participant and expected great things. Over the course of eight days the 48 scholars that attended were worked, questioned, advised, and taught. The overall goal of these eight days was to help build Brothers that would return to their respective Chapters and make positive contributions to their Chapter and Kappa at large, while at the same time sharing the knowledge they acquired while at the Institute. Over the course 
of the eight days the major aspects of the Institute were the educational lectures and guest speakers, including the Grand Polemarch of Kappa Alpha Psi, accomplished judges, doctors, and lawyers; all of which were Kappa men. In addition, there were group physical challenges, group discussions, and group (Chapter) meetings, which all served the purpose of building bonds between young Black males that had come from many different places. Overall, there was much to be taken away from the whole experience and the experience itself is a privilege many would benefit from, but most will not experience. The Lambda Nupes are privileged to have be led by a Polemarch who has experienced such an opportunity.

B-B-Body Ya... - March 2010
Brothers Steven Howell and Anthony Leyro traveled up to the 80th annual North Eastern Province Council Meeting in New York. While staying up there, they decided to give big brother Walusako Mwalulino a call since he lives in the area. Turns out he was shooting a video for Fabolous and needed two extras for the video. “Body Ya” by Fabolous ended up being MTV’s “Jam of the Week” videos, meaning you could see these two dapper young brothers every hour.
