Programming Recap: Fall Quarter

2013-01-28T13:37:00.001-08:00

Current Event Forum: Election Season

In early September, TERRIBLE THETA collaborated with Loyola University's College Republicans and College Democrats for a current event forum. Loyola's College Republicans and Democrats were asked questions about the political platforms of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. The event was incredibly insightful as both student groups provided the audience with critical information about each candidate and the implications of the election.

Pretty Tuesdays

Each Tuesday, TERRIBLE THETA gets suited and booted. Besides reminding the yard that the NUPEs carry themselves with class, this ongoing event has proven incredibly beneficial as it has allowed us to collect weekly donations for various community groups based in Evanston. We match each dollar we receive and have raised over $300.

Boys To Men Initiative

In collaboration with Urban Prep's Englewood Campus, TERRIBLE THETA has developed a Boys To Men Initiative. Quarterly, TERRIBLE THETA brings a group of Black, male high school students to campus so that we can provide these students with positive examples of hard-working Black college students. This is crucial to communicating the importance of a collegiate education. Furthermore, we offer these students with any educational assistance they require so that we can try to develop them into prospective Northwestern students.

Black Love

Anybody who has spent any time on Northwestern's campus can attest to the fact that the university's Black men & Black women have an interesting romantic dynamic. In an effort to discuss and better understand this dynamic, TERRIBLE THETA hosted "Black Love" where men and women came together to discuss Northwestern's dating culture. The event had a huge turnout and really proved to be an eye opener for everybody involved.

94 Years & Kounting

2011-04-21T20:26:00.001-07:00

Not withstanding the inexorable consequences of war, Kappa Alpha Psi witnessed slow but continuous progress. On the 21st of April in the war year of 1917 the Theta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi was chartered at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Located in the North Central Province, it was the fraternity's eighth great chapter and the first in the Chicago area. The charter members were E. Wilbur Johnson, Ira M. Henderson, T.F. Charleston, Carlyle F. Stewart and Roy Young. Due to the meager number of students enrolled at the university in the late 1950's and early 1960's, the Theta Chapter became inactive for a period. It was rechartered in 1967 by Big Brother Davis, a former student, coach and athlete at Northwestern University. The history of the Theta Chapter is long and storied and continues to be written in that good old Kappa Spirit in the name of Phi Nu Pi.

Spring 2011 MOIP Update

JOIN THETA CHAPTER IN OUR iKARE HAITI RELIEF INITIATIVE!

2010-01-21T16:36:00.000-08:00

“iKare About Haiti” Wristbands: Half Red/Half Blue wristbands with “iKare about Haiti” in
white letters on the front and “Unity = Strength” in white letters on the back will be sold to
anyone for $5 a piece. Information tags will be attached to the wristbands with information on

Haiti, other ways to help, and significance of the wristbands detailing.

Wristband Rationale:
o Half Red/Blue: Represents the two main colors on Haiti’s national Flag.

o White letters: The Red/Blue band paired with the White letters are symbolic for the
American colors (for the Americans purchasing the bands) helping Haiti and the
red/white pairing represents KAPsi’s assistance in this effort.

o “UNITY = STRENGTH”: Haiti’s national motto (as shown on their flag) is “L'Union Fait la Force” which translates to “In Union there is Strength”. The concept of these
bands is uniting people together to raise money for Haiti. Our Unity = Strength slogan
joins Haiti’s motto and the purpose wristbands.

o “iKare”: The word is an acronym for International Kappa Action Relief Effort, this
name plays on the pop culture lowercase “i” in front of words and creates a statement
that people can personalize to themselves to feel like they made a difference by donating.
Someone saying “iKare about Haiti” is a powerful statement meaning they emotionally
“care” about Haiti and also donated through our cause.

Stayed tuned for news and information on where to buy your bracelet once they arrive!!

Homecoming offers Brothers a chance to catch up

2009-10-30T09:29:00.000-07:00

There's only one thing that could beat chilly October air, gray skies, and a slight drizzle from the clouds above, and that was Homecoming with the NUPES. Beginning Friday afternoon, and continuing until the last car rolled out of Evanston, or delayed flight departed from O'Hare, this year's Homecoming at Northwestern provided everything alumni could ask for. There was football, tailgating, partying in Chicago, catching up with old friends, and of course, the Kup.

Brothers from the 70's, 80's, 90s, and 2K represented the chapter at this years festivities with brothers Kerry Gray, Andre Hester, Scott Montgomery, and Justin Terry playing major roles in the organization of NUBBA (Northwestern Universities Black Alumni Association) festivities for the weekend.

Aside from catching up with life-long friends, re-newing old memories, and watching Theta's undergrads march in the Homecoming parade, a definite highlight was the Wildcat football teams stunning 29-28 come from behind victory over Indiana. A sure blowout down

28-3 midway through the second quarter the Wildcats scored 26 unanswered points capped off by a field goal to seal it as time quickly expired.

All in all, it was a great weekend that will certainly be remembered for years to come.

If you weren't able to make it, we hope to see you next year!

Celebrating a Man of Achievement

2009-09-14T09:49:00.000-07:00

CLARENCE DAVID HINTON

Dr. Clarence Hinton, 91, a halfback for the football Wildcats from 1935-37 -- including the 1936 Big Ten Championship team -- and the nation's oldest, board-certified, African-American Otolaryngologist, died Sept. 23, 2008, in Silver Spring, Md.

Clarence Hinton

Upon graduating from Peoria Central High School with an "A" average and membership in the National Honor Society, Hinton was granted an academic scholarship to Northwestern, where he received his B.S. degree in 1938. While at Northwestern, he also became a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and served as Polemarch of the chapter. Hinton went on to earn an M.D. degree from Howard in 1942 before serving in the U.S. Army from 1943-46. Dr. Hinton served as Chairman of the Division of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery -- at Howard University Hospital from 1963-1979 and became the first of his race to serve as Chairman of the Section on Otolaryngology of the D.C. Medical Society from 1978-1980. Dr. Hinton had a great appreciation for classical music that dated back to his pre-teenage years when he studied violin. He continued to play the violin every day for his own enjoyment and relaxation until just before his death. Dr. Hinton is survived by his three children, ViCurtis Audrey Hinton, Diane Hinton Perry (Phillip Craig Perry), and Clarence David Hinton, Jr.; two grandchildren, Phillip Craig Perry, Jr., and Tiffany Diane Hinton; his sister, Louise Hinton Long, who moved to Silver Spring last May to live with her "baby brother"; his godson and nephew, Michael Gray; his son's companion, Linda Johnson; scores of cousins; and a host of friends.
