Friday evening, 17 November 1911, three students of the Junior Class (Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. cooper and Frank Coleman), along with their faculty advisor, Prof. Ernest E. Just, met in Science (now Thirkield) Hall on the campus of Howard University to found the first national Greek-letter fraternity at a historically black college or university. This movement has grown to embrace men on campuses throughout America and in Canada and in communities and military installations in America, the Caribbean, Canada, Germany, Japan, Korea, and the Middle East. May God bless the Fraternity, its Sons and their families!
