Greetings, I want to take this time to welcome you to the El Paso-Las Cruces (TX-NM) Alumni Chapter (SW) of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. website.
As our name denotes, we are comprised of brothers that live and work in the greater El Paso and Las Cruces metropolitan area. Our chapter was founded on October 13, 1962, by 21 brothers that were brought to the area by the military, government Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs, or just plainly settled here during the American Westward Expansion.
We are blessed to have one of our charter members, Bennie D Cooley (Gamma Chi – 1955), still living and active in our chapter. From our first Polemarch, Brother James B. Crumady, to myself, we have strived to become a beacon of Achievement in the ‘Mighty’ Southwestern Province.
We are appropriately named ‘The Sun City NUPEs’ due to the amount of number of sunny days, approximately 302, the area enjoys. The El Paso-Las Cruces area is a favorite among those seeking to have an affordable cost of living in a city with a low crime rate.
Again, I want to welcome you to the El Paso-Las Cruces Alumni Chapter and hope your stay is memorable as you take advantage of Bonding with the brothers during our many community service or social events. Respectfully, Bilal Bani Ball, MBA Polemarch
