Beta Phi Alpha is in Bairds 1930, Pg. 286.

Founded in 1909 at UCal. Berkley. Biede-a-wee then was changed to Alderbaran.

1919, name changed to Kappa Phi Alpha. it changed name because of expansion and joined NPH in 1923.

First National Organization to be founded on the Pacific Slope.

They were in states such as:

Cal, Colo., Ill., Washington, Pittsburg, NY, Wis., Minn., Ohio, Ks., Neb., Iowa,, Oregon, and some others.

Pretty far reaching in those times.

LXA and KDRho were the first Fraternitys to colonize in Cal. and AKL is the first to be Founded there.

Remember, LXA was founded in Boston in 1909!

Also know the history of LXA/TKN merger. There were actually more Chapters than that, but the times were very tough!

I would have to check up on Brother Joiner but he is also very knowledgeable for our History!
