NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The embodiment of what it means to be a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is: “Achievement in every field of human endeavor.”
On that basis, James H. Salley was named the Orangeburg chapter’s Kappa Man of the Year. KAΨ brothers presented him with the honor during a holiday event in Orangeburg, on Dec. 6, 2024. Since 1973, Salley has been an active supporter of the fraternity’s national and Orangeburg chapters.
His classmate from 50 years ago, Melvin Smoak said, “It was a pleasure to recommend someone so deserving.” Despite Salley’s schedules and commitments, “he always makes time for projects in the community; and he encourages the older and younger brothers to stay involved.”
The chapter’s polemarch, Antron Williams, expressed how consistent and engaged Salley has been over the years: “Whatever needs doing, he just steps in and does it, in the chapter and in the community.”
