SARACEN KLUB, MEMBERS OF KAPPA ALPHA KAPPA FRATERNITY AND
UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ALUMNAE RETURN TO PITTSBURGH TO
GIVE BACK DURING PITT HOMECOMING 2015
A group of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity brothers, calling themselves the Saracen
Klub will return to Pittsburgh for Pitt Homecoming 2015 to give back by building a
scholarship fund for African American students at Pitt. The fraternity brothers
graduated from University of Pittsburgh in the early 1980's and they continue to
bond over their desire to improve the lives of others. They hope to raise enough
money on October 10th at their big event at the August Wilson Center to make a
significant impact on the lives of high achieving students at the University of
Pittsburgh. Members of the Saracen Klub will be traveling to Pittsburgh from all
over the country for Pitt Homecoming 2015.
At the Pitt, the Kappa brothers created a group within the group, calling
themselves the Saracen Klub. Saracens are warriors; the Saracen Klub is
committed picking up the mantle as crusaders in their desire to improve life
wherever they can for their people. Reginald Huc, Pitt class of 1980, says, "We,
the brothers of the Saracen Klub, want to leverage the many gifts and
opportunities that we've been given by giving back to others that are going
through the struggle; being young, and a person of color in this country, and
specifically a student of color in Pittsburgh. The Saracen Klub will provide annual
scholarships for students of color at Pitt beginning in 2016. "
The Saracen Klub will host a Friday Lounge Meet & Greet at Savoy Restaurant,
owned by Chuck Sanders on October 9th from 6:00-9:00pm. On October 10th, the
group will present the Official Marsha Ambrosius After Concert Party-Scholarship
Fundraiser at the August Wilson Center. The party immediately follows the
Marsha Ambrosius concert, presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Vice
President of Strategic Partnerships and Community Engagement says," As a Pitt
alum, I see the tremendous value in the support, financially and professionally
that the Saracen Klub can provide for students. Members of this group are
successful businessmen and professionals that have so much to offer to our
young people."
All proceeds from the scholarship fundraiser will go directly to the Saracen Klub
Scholarship Fund at the University of Pittsburgh.
