With heavy hearts, we announce that our dear Brother, Victor Nolen (Kappa Phi Chapter, Fall 1982), has transitioned to the Chapter Invisible.

Brother Nolen was a long-time and dedicated member of the Maywood-Wheaton (IL) Alumni Chapter. His commitment to the Bond, his steady presence, and his fraternal spirit exemplified what it means to be a Kappa Man. He will be truly missed by all who had the privilege of calling him Brother.

During this time of sorrow, we ask that you keep the Maywood-Wheaton (IL) Alumni Chapter, the Brothers of Kappa Phi Chapter, and most importantly, the Nolen family lifted in your prayers.

May we honor his legacy by continuing the work and upholding the standards he so proudly represented.

We lift his family in prayer and honor his legacy by observing a 30 day mourning period.

In recognition of Black History Month, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. continues to recognize a few of its members’ “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.”
