Nupes.com was founded by two undergraduate members of Kappa Alpha Psi who hoped to deliver a platform worthy of their fraternity. This project began April of 1999 and sparked growth in social discussions, community involvement and a sense of oneness among the members "NUPES" of the national fraternity. With the assistance of Brother Paras Griffin the seed was planted to build.

In the websites beginning it began as a project for Brother Robert Howard's E-Commerce Class at the University of Texas at Arlington. The website was hosted on a free account provided by the employer of Brother Howard at FlashNet Communications in Ft. Worth Texas, a leading ISP in the market arena. The site with its tremendous growth sparked attention among the Network Engineers at the FlashNet facility. Traffic came from all parts of the world and was just enough for the technicians at the FlashNet facility to take actions to have the site removed from their server.

December 2000 the Nupes.com website came to its feet. It was deleted and a campaign was started to get donations for the site. A series of mass mailers offering incentives to the donors was its only chance of survival. Although the site only received one donation from Brother Myles Caggins, it was able to survive.

Then when the staff of nupes.com thought things wouldn't get any better, Brother Robert Howard received a call from two current members of the website that had ties into several web hosting companies in the US. Brother Thomas Cunningham notified a brother that stayed in the same local as Brother Howard of the situation. From that conversation a Brother by the name of Brandon Moore offered services from his parent company of Interland.net which host his current company

N2something.net. From that meeting a partnership was made between the two. Developed online community that enabled social networking for the members of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Robert Howard was the sole developer on this project. Show less
