The young men discussed the matter many times, and as a result concluded that they should have some guidance. They contacted Professor Just and he consented at once, having a keen appreciation for the problems of youth. On November 17, 1911, the Omega Psi Phi was born. The four Cardinal principles agreed upon were SCHOLARSHIP, MANHOOD, PERSEVERANCE, AND UPLIFT. Alpha Gamma Chapter was established in 1949. Ever since that time the members have strived to uphold the standards set by the predecessors. Among the many Activities outstanding of the chapter are the Annual Achievement Week Program, the Christmas Seals Campaign, and tutoring services for the Lampodas Club. The Chapter also sponsored social activities which include smokers, rush parties, dances and their annual Mardi Gras. The motto, "Friendship is essential to the soul," was symbolized by the words Omega Psi Phi, the equivalent words of the motto in Greek. On October 28, 1914, the laying of the foundation was formally completed when the Omega Psi Phi, Fraternity was incorporated by the United States Congress. From that one undergraduate chapter (Alpha Chapter) the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has a roster of 270 chapters. From a membership of three in 1911, Omega has a membership of more than 50,000. Every state in the Union has some sons of Omega to carry her ideas. There are Omega Men abroad also. e r n • i t y (Left Column top to bottom) Idella Glover, Vice President; Dean of Pledgees; Lucille Brock, Sgt.-at-Arms; Mary Jane Flowers, Carolyn M.

Delta Sigma Theta was founded at Howard University in Washington, D. C. on January 13, 1913, by a group of 22 undergraduate women who, in February 18, 1913, succeeded and secured a certificate of Incorporation for the infant sorority. The stated purpose of the founders was to establish a society to promote high cultural, intellectual, and moral standards among its members, for its own benefit and for that of the larger society in which it existed. 149 KAPPA ALPHA PSI Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded January 5, 1911 at Indiana Uni- versity, being incorporated by the state of Indiana on April 15, 1911. It was first known as Kappa Alpha Nu Fraternity. In 1914 the name was changed to Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. The efforts of three men, Elder W. Diggs, Byron K. Arm- strong, and John M. Lee, were outstanding in the early development of the frater- nity.

SIGMA GAMMA RHO SORORITY Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated, was organized on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana by Mary Lou Gardner and six other school teachers. The sorority became an incorporated National Collegiate Sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted by Alpha Chapter at Butler University, Indian- apolis, Indiana. At present there are 59 campus chapters — and 82 Alumni Chapters — one of which is located at the University of Liberia, Monrouia. Fifteen years and three months ago Soror Fannie P. Jenkins, the Southeastern Regional Director, Julia Jones, Edna Ligon, Rose Lotson, Mattie Roberts and Chris- tine Wright brought forth on this campus a new sorority, conceived in education, and dedicated to the proposition that all sisters are united as equal. During this school term the sorority has been working diligently on various activities on and off campus. The sorority is a member of the Friends of the Library and the NAACP. The sorority particularly stresses "finer womanhood, greater service and greater progress." t y 151 More than fifty-five years ago at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, one of the most important meeting's in Negro history was taking place. Seven valiant Negro students, drawn together by their mutual feeling for the need of an organi- zation which would bind Negro students together, organized Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first Negro Greek-Letter organization. The park shown in the picture was built by the chapter and dedicated to the two deceased chartered brothers, Toland J. Collier and Elijah J. Lamarr on April 28, 1959, the tenth anniversary of the chapter.

Ethel Hedge- man, a junior at Howard University, loved her people and wanted to do something to raise their standards. In her room in Minor Hall Ethel Hedgeman, Lucy Slowe, Beulah Burke, Margaret Hagg, Marjorie Hill, Marie Woolfold, Anna Brown, and Lavinia Norman met to draw up plans for the organization. Lucy Stowe was elected Basileus. From so small a nucleus Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has grown to more than 1,011 graduate Chapters and 110 undergraduate chapters throughout the United States and Liberia. 153 <$> ^ Gamma Zeta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. of Savannah State College was founded in the year 1940, for the purpose of promoting brotherhood, scholarship and service to humanity.
