Brother Ryan Barnes has publicly announced his declaration of candidacy.
Below is my letter of intent, as submitted at this past P/T meeting in person to several members of the Board. This is for your consideration and in hopes for your support at the upcoming Convention.
National Board Members
Kappa Delta Phi Inc.Esteemed members of the Board of Directors,
I, Ryan Barnes, do hereby disclose to you my intent for wishing to join the National Board of Kappa Delta Phi Inc. National Fraternity.
I have achieved grand things with the aid of my Brothers of Alpha Alpha Chapter, currently at a flagship University and still growing; always fostering the ideals of Kappa, of Delta, and of Phi. Some of these accomplishments have been bringing the Brotherhood over twelve members strong, which is higher than half of other active Chapters at this present point in time. Alpha Alpha Chapter has also been one of the highest academic Fraternities on campus for the last two years, never falling below the top four out of sixteen other such organizations while also beating the all Fraternity and all campus GPAs. We have also dedicated hundreds of hours to community service and raised money for several charitable organizations throughout Bangor, Old Town, and Orono. We at Alpha Alpha Chapter truly strive to be a shining star for Kappa Delta Phi National Fraternity here at the University of Maine as well as amongst Brothers and Sisters alike.
I am filled with nothing but pride for these men at Alpha Alpha Chapter, they consistently astonish me with their actions as a Brotherhood, never forgetting the pledge they took and the ideals they stand for. Truly they are to be commended on their efforts, and I, like them, too believe that I can contribute and aid this Fraternity – perhaps no longer at a local level, but now at a national level.Because of the opportunities given me by this Fraternity, I would like to participate in a more active roll within the Fraternity as a whole and help shape the future for men who are entering institutions of higher learning so that others who follow in my footsteps may too have the same guidance and tutelage that I had once received.
It is one thing to sit on the sidelines and criticize; I’d like to see more action and fewer words through an active roll on the National Board of Kappa Delta Phi Fraternity, allowing my abilities to be put to use for the betterment of this Fraternity and its Brothers.
Best Wishes and MTSND,
Ryan K. Barnes
