Congratulations to the Nu Phi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi! This is the 333rd chapter to be installed since the fraternity’s founding and the sixth this biennium. Welcome to the brotherhood!

Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity mourns the loss of a brother from the Epsilon Phi chapter at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. The Fraternity sends its deepest condolences to family, friends, chapter brothers and sisters, faculty, and fellow band members. It is especially difficult to lose an active student. The power of our connections as brothers and band members becomes even more significant during these times of loss and confusion. We are here to support and encourage our fellow brothers and band members without reservation.

Brothers, help is available 24/7 for emergencies and students in crisis. We hope that our collegiate brothers will look to resources on their campus such as the Office of the Dean of Students and counseling centers who work to support students in a variety of ways. Please do not hesitate to ask for help and seek out services on your campus.

Anyone who is struggling can access the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Our ritual teaches that life is a journey with peaks and valleys. We want our brothers to feel empowered to access help when needed.

We, along with hundreds of brothers, have changed our profile picture on Facebook to the badge of mourning in memory of Tyler Butterfield from the Epsilon Omega chapter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Tyler was just 20 years old and a Junior Accounting Major.

An Active Member of the fraternity, he was a Rank Leader for B Rank in the Cornhusker Marching Band, a member of the Football Friday Pep Band, the Big Red Express, and participated in Campus Band. His involvement in the University of Nebraska Bands touched many throughout the program.
