On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, sixteen men at the University of Wyoming were inducted into Kappa Alpha Order as members awaiting initiation. The ceremony was held on campus in the Family Room of the Wyoming Union in Laramie, Wyoming, and was well attended by friends and dates.
Assistant Executive Director for Chapter Services Anthony M. Graziani (Zeta Pi–Florida Gulf Coast ’07) welcomed attendees and gave opening remarks. Director of College & University Relations Cooper W. Carroll (Delta Kappa–Stephen F. Austin State ’17) gave the invocation. Graziani, Carroll, and Associate Director for Chapter Services Tyler C. Dean (Zeta Delta–Nevada ’21) conducted the Induction Ceremony. Graziani then installed the chapter officers and presented the chapter with its provisional certificate issued by Executive Director Larry Stanton Wiese.
The group is now the Wyoming Provisional Chapter. Once they have completed their chartering requirements, they will petition the Knight Commander to gain their charter and be an active chapter in good standing.
More photos are available on the Order’s Facebook page.
If you know of any unaffiliated men who are or will be attending the University of Wyoming, please recommend them for membership.
Congratulations to the men who were inducted and those installed as officers of the new chapter.
