No, it's not plausible that a group of black men an hour away from a group of white women would borrow their symbols in 1906 and wait two years to give them to a group of black women at Howard.

Especially since Alpha Phi Alpha did not HELP with the founding of AKA in that way.

Nor was it Alpha Chapter Alphas who provided the moral support to Ethel Hedgeman Lyle.
