ABOUT BROTHER OSCAR NEELY
Vision Statement
"I have given over forty years of my life to Kappa Alpha Psi, not for recognition, but because I believe in what this Fraternity can do for young men and for our communities. The Southeastern Province Guide Right Program has been recognized as the premier program in all of Kappa Alpha Psi, and I intend to build on that legacy. I am running because I know what is possible when we are unified, intentional, and fully committed to our purpose. This province has always been a standard. I want to help us raise it even higher."
— Brother Oscar R. Neely
A Leader among Leaders
PLATFORM AND PRIORITIES
Priority 1:
Strengthening the Bond of Brotherhood
MEMBERSHIP & ENGAGEMENT
For more than four decades, Brother Neely has embodied the Bond, not as a slogan, but as a daily way of life. He has served as Polemarch, Vice Polemarch, Board member, and chapter officer, forging relationships that span generations. As Senior Province Vice Polemarch, he will leverage that experience to champion cross-chapter engagement, strengthen alumni–undergraduate partnerships, and cultivate a culture of mutual accountability that fortifies every chapter in the Southeastern Province.
Priority 2:
Elevating Our Young Brothers
UNDERGRADUATE CHAPTER DEVELOPMENT
Brother Neely understands that the strength of this province begins in the undergraduate chapter. With over four decades of fraternal service spanning the local, province, and national levels, he has seen firsthand what undergraduate chapters need to thrive, and what causes them to struggle. As Senior Province Vice Polemarch, he will bring direct, hands-on support to undergraduate chapters across the Southeastern Province, stabilizing chapters that are at risk, strengthening chapters that are growing, and building the mentorship pipelines, leadership development frameworks, and alumni engagement structures that give every undergraduate Brother a real foundation beneath his feet. Our undergraduate brothers deserve more than inspiration. They deserve infrastructure. Working alongside the Province Polemarch, Brother Neely will deliver it.
Priority 3:
Guide Right - Our Promise to the Next Generation
Community Service & Guide Right
Guide Right is not a committee; it is the heartbeat of our Fraternity’s purpose. For 16 years, Brother Neely has served as Chairman of the Southeastern Province Guide Right Commission, building a program recognized as the most recognized in all of Kappa Alpha Psi. For more than a decade, he also served as Vice Chairman of the National Guide Right Commission, shaping our national outreach. This is not work he is learning; it is work he has mastered. Now, he will apply that mastery to elevate our province’s community impact to even greater heights.
