Tammi Ramsey - Candidate for Vice President for Membership & Expansion

My Platform


Why I'm Running

I’m excited to announce my candidacy for Vice President for Membership and Expansion for the 2025–2027 biennium. As a proud alumna, Life Member, and experienced educator, I’m running because I believe Kappa Kappa Psi is at a pivotal moment—one where we can reimagine how we educate, include, and grow.

I bring to this role a vision rooted in engagement, innovation, and servant leadership—values I live out in both my career and my Brotherhood. I’m passionate about creating spaces where members feel seen, heard, and empowered from Day One, and I believe VPME is the role that can help make that vision a reality.

Strengthening the Road to Wisdom

During my time on the National Curriculum Development Committee, including serving as Chair, I helped guide the development of two new lessons: Our Diversity Matters and Our Sisters Matter. One was a formal charge to the committee; the other emerged organically from honest, necessary conversations. While working on Our Sisters Matter, I worked closely with the Tau Beta Sigma National Curriculum Chair to reflect the accuracy and integrity of the lesson. Both represent how responsive our curriculum must be to the changing realities of our students and society.

The Road to Wisdom gives us a solid foundation—but it’s time to build on that. I want to ensure our membership education remains relevant, inclusive, and engaging, so membership candidates are ready to lead and serve from the moment they’re initiated.

Building Brothers for Life

One of the guiding ideas in my campaign is this: Building Brothers for Life. Brotherhood doesn’t end with a degree—it’s a lifelong journey. I want to help students bring their full selves into Kappa Kappa Psi, and take the values of our Fraternity into every space they enter beyond college. I want to inspire alumni of our Fraternity to stay connected, to continue their journey with us, and to support the next generation of student leaders and musicians.

As an educator, I know that content matters—but what matters even more is how people feel. If a membership candidate walks away from their experience feeling seen, supported, and connected, then we’ve done our job . That mindset will shape everything I do as VPME.

Elevating VPMs and Expanding Our Reach

I’m committed to supporting chapter Vice Presidents for Membership in meaningful and tangible ways. One of my goals is to develop a VPM Toolkit—a collaborative resource that draws on the incredible experience of our alumni educators. This is inspired by my work on the National Curriculum Committee when creating the Activity Database. With the right tools, we can help chapter leaders turn lessons into memorable, mission-driven experiences.

I’m also excited to lead expansion efforts by continuing Dr. Nic Rorrer's Friends and Advocates initiative. We need to focus on building chapters that are thoughtful, inclusive, and sustainable. Countless student musicians are waiting to find a home like Kappa Kappa Psi. Let’s go meet them where they are.

Leadership That Listens

During my time as North Central District Governor, I worked closely with both district officers and chapter leaders, and I saw the heart of this Fraternity in every conversation. That experience reaffirmed my belief that leadership is not about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions, listening deeply, and creating change with people, not for them.

Let’s Build the Future—Together

I believe that the next phase of Kappa Kappa Psi requires courageous, compassionate leadership. I’m ready to serve with integrity, humility, and energy—and I’m ready to build with you.

Let’s grow our membership. Let’s create meaningful education. Let’s build Brothers for life!
