Senusret, I have not been able to get anyone to give me any more info than what I told you in PM- and for the benefit of everyone that was just a couple of people at Oxford saying there was some kind of connection, but not able to give concrete evidence that Beta actually helped Alpha versus Alpha perhaps being inspired by Beta to some degree.
Given how incredibly similar all the traditionally white fraternities are, I find it hard to believe that Beta had a direct influence on Alpha Phi Alpha which has a completely different focus and perspective.
So I think it logical to assume that there might be some loose link to Beta- even as basic as future Alpha founders just being around the house and liking the fraternal concept, but it seems far-fetched to assume that Beta played any kind of active part in the formation of Alpha.
