Brandon Owens (Lambda Kappa Spring ’01) and Reggie Rasmus (Lambda Kappa Spring ’11), were the focus of an interview by Mr. Cigars and Coffee.

This particular episode was titled “Celebrating Founders’ Day with Nupe Market | Achievement in Apparel”.

As implied by the title, it was released on Founders’ Day (January 5th, 2026). During the interview the brothers spoke about their time as undergraduates and their love for the fraternity and the Lambda Kappa chapter. They also dive into the early days of the Nupemarket apparel brand, how they’ve been able to merge tradition, history, and modern fashion trends to create a brand that resonates deeply with Nupes of all ages and their values.

These brothers are building a brand that touches the entirety of Kappa Land. Their apparel has been purchased from every state and even some orders have come from Nupes overseas. There is a bright future ahead and it all comes back to the leadership and lessons learned at the Lambda Kappa Chapter.
