Generations Of Fraternity Brothers Surprise Elderly Man With Health Issues

An elderly man suffering from health difficulties was left speechless when dozens of fraternity brothers spanning decades arrived on his front yard to offer their support. In a powerful moment captured on video, Benjamin Raymond Harrell looks out in disbelief at the sea of red in front of him, declaring that he was completely overwhelmed. Red is the color of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, and Benjamin (Alpha Theta ‘67), a lifetime member, has regularly helped other members with everything from career advice to life lessons and sharing connections. Down the years, Ben, 73, has also been a proud donor to the organization and a very active member of the community. But because Ben is a cancer survivor and suffering from chronic cardiovascular disease, he was restricted from leaving his home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And so, after Ben - who is known as Ray or Uncle Ray to his friends from the fraternity - had been hospitalized for around 30 days, his wife Barbara started working with the local Huntsville, Alabama, alumni chapter to ask Kappa brothers if they could show some support. The surprise was organized for May 24 at the family's Atlanta home, and Ben's son, Brandon - a Kappa member, too - also made the visit from Washington DC. Brandon said the gesture moved him to tears, and his father was humbled by the gesture.
