Kappa Alpha Psi Province map.

A couple of comments

I know that you want to continue using colors that mean something to ΚΑΨ, but it is unclear where the borders between E/EC/SC/SE are. More colors would be appreciated.
According to their website, Middle East only contains Southern WV and North Carolina. The map includes a part of Virginia to connect them, but that doesn't seem to be supported anywhere.
I think it might make sense to include the situation with ND/SD/MT/WY. Are they officially part of no Region?

Thanks, Naraht. I'll try to address each of your comments from the context of documenting why the map was created as it was:

More colors are not necessary. The map uses the four color theorem to ensure that adjacent provinces do not share a color. Perhaps the contrast between the white and the cream regions is lower than some may desire, but I've chosen to stick with this color scheme.
Provinces do not have strictly-defined borders. While their boundaries generally mirror those of clustered states, a province is defined by the chapters that it contains. Sometimes it makes more logistical sense for a city or campus on the outskirts of one province to be affiliated with an adjacent province due to the proximity of neighboring chapters (e.g. the Toledo, Ohio metro area; the Fayetteville, Arkansas metro area; etc). I created the map only after painstakingly identifying all of the these "exceptions" chapters and drawing lines that included their locations; in the case of the line dividing Mississippi, the line had to be moved substantially north to avoid erroneously implying that some Southwestern Province chapters were in the Middle Eastern Province. Similarly, I verified up all of the chapter locations in Virginia prior to coloring the southwestern wing of the state with the chapters immediately to its north and south; it is clear that the southernmost chapter in West Virginia has more neighboring chapters in northwestern North Carolina than in the western wing of Virginia, and that the same would be true of any chapters that might be established along the Interstate 77 highway that connects southern West Virginia with western North Carolina.
While I understand that some may wonder about the relationship of these states to the provinces, it is reasonable that the reader will deduce, as you have, that those states have no association with any province. (See explanation above regarding province boundaries being a reflection of the chapters assigned to them.

Finally, I'd point out that this map was incorporated into the the organization's national website in 2011, and has been reproduced on some provinces's websites. I'd like to think that this occurred because the map is more accurate than any existing works; it is certainly more accurate than any I have come across during the past 20 years.
